I like your sense of humour though.

Absolutely. :))) He's not that bad, hu just has very peculiar sense of humour. Just relax and enjoy the perfomance.

What Poland or the USA should do for that? Or you don't want even mention "white horse" at that point? Nobody's perfect.

USA does not say "we didn't do it"

they say "we DO NOT do it, it's a democracy..." Meanwhile they do. :) But if to judge on current state Russia's closer to "whiteness" even though it's not an angel at all.

That's the way how this World works. Two guys always fight, third (you) always cries aside. Nobody likes moaners. :)

Ever notice the spoilt kid at school with all the sweets didn't have many friends, that's a bit like Russia

Shelley what would you prefer: to have few honest (not necessarily nice) partners or lots of hypocritical friends? I don't mean anybody, it's just a question. As for the way how you described Russia, I agree but have to note that nobody has friends if use political approach to the problem.

Good friends can be hypocritical,

I'm convinced they can't, elsewise they "gone tomorrow", in other words will be partners or how Russians say "tovarisch". Not closer.

I honestly didn't really have any issues with Russia until their recent stance on the Mugabe situation, maybe Russia will accept the 1,000s of Assylum seekers fleeing Zimbabwe in the coming months?

I'm sure if we pondered on that carefully, neither of us would be able to find a country he doesn't have any issues with except for those which he has never heard of.

USA, Canada / POLISH AMERICANS AND THE 2008 US ELECTION [79]

This is what politicians want, more ignorant voters, because they are the easiest target to convince.

This is not a secret that smart voters are always in minority.

I absolutely share these two points. Russia clearly shows how this works.

Law / Child Support Payment in Poland [47]

You still maintain that you are British?

Judging by the nick ("goon") he's either Indian (since it's a Sanscrit termin) or American (but doesn't suspect what that means in AE).

If first then his reasoning about other immigrants in the UK (especially of a female gender) sounds hilarious.

Law / Child Support Payment in Poland [47]

He maintains he's British, but to be honest Sasha a lot of people in the UK instist that they are "British" this is the reason I prefer to be called "English" it kind of sets up apart!

The same is here. They're now using "Rossiajnin" termin for the citizens, whereas I prefer to go by "Russky".

Love / What is an acceptable dating age range in Poland? [51]

From all couples with a huge age gap I've seen so far I may pick out three crucial groups:
1) It's all about the money
2) MILFs (generally I mean some people intentionally prefer older partners.
3) She's or (rarely) he's not so cute and can't find anything better as only to date "father" or "mother".

News / Polish vs russian economy [57]

While I'm typing this stuff to Mr. Crow, can I suggest that Russians aren't really the most Slavic of Slavs?

Does this any matter? :) Slavdom is a good concept to rally round, to communicate, to have something in common, to be on friendly terms. You know what I mean? :) In its turn "genetical" concept mostly don't work. For instance according to it Western population of Russia have to feel something fraternal to Baltic and Scandinavian Peoples, primarily to Estonians (who last year ranked first in the chart of those who Russians didn't like) and Finns, at the same time they have to be colder toward Serbs (who geneticaly have NOTHING in common with Russians) and Belorussian (who're closest genetical brothers of Poles). The reality as you may see is something completely different. Honestly I don't like all these "blood"-talks.

News / Polish vs russian economy [57]

Well I believe the standard of living for the average Pole is better than for the average Russian.

It's likely to be the truth.
UPD: I don't know about Poland but Russia is still ver poor outside cities.

After all there are Russians trying to get into Poland to work while the Poles leave for the UK.

Can't agree here.
They might be russian-spoken, for ex Ukranians whose overwhelming majority mostly use Russian as first language. :)
Poland is not really popular direction for Russians, unless they have some business over there. The most popular are the USA, Germany, the UK.

If you go to Krakow in the restaurants, or go to the Tatras in winter you will see and hear hoards of them.

How do you know whether they're Russians? :)
You may probably hear me one day in the nearest future... as a tourist. :)

I'm fluent in Russian

Where did you study it? Are you under or over 30? :)

I'm fluent in Russian and in many cases (not all for sure) I can tell Russian from Ukrainian.

You mean you can catch ukranian accent? I'm asking cause ukranian itself and russian sound noticably different.

I've spent many years in CCCP.

Ok... then you're likely to be over 30 and should have a mature view on Russians. Hence pls accept my apologies that Russians have disappointed you that much. I'm sure your experience could have been much better but it's still worthy for both our nations.

Sasha:

That's what I mean.

People on the South of Russia, in Krasnodar for instance may speak as if they're Ukranians. Just different areas have different "govori". Or quite the contrary... one guy from Western Ukraine could speak very unaccented Russian. That strongly depends on the family you're upbrought at.

News / Should Poland send volunteers to Georgia ? [100]

Grzegorz_
Today, 07:08 Report #1

I don't think that Poland as a country should get involved in that mess but what about providing volunteers with weapons, transport etc. ?

Just one or two questions:

1) Did you support Kosovo's independence. If "yes" then...
2) Why do you think Georgia is right here?
Sasha

News / Should Poland send volunteers to Georgia ? [100]

No

Then second question is redundant. :) If Kosovo precedent didn't happen and Georgia didn't kill civilians, I would rather support Georgia as well.

There may be parallels with many modern day ethnic conflicts, but simply stating that conflicts like this are the same thing, unfairly simplifies the problem. It is essential in cases like Georgia to know more rather than less.

Ok. You're right. SO has more rights to be independent then Kosovo ever had since it has never been the cradle of Georgian culture and religion, Osetians have never kept down Georgians on their territory and they've lived on that territory for centuries.

News / SHOULD POLAND/EUROPE BE WORRIED ABOUT RUSSIA?? [90]

Russia threatens us about installing an American missile defense system

What did you expect since this installing was a direct threat for Russian safety and shook the nuclear parity (which in its turn threat for everybody including Poland).

Should Poland and Europe be worried???

No worries. Let's live in peace. :)
