Wish i could live in Russia..
Want a pet bear in my backyard.
Only one thing that i don`t like about it..
The systematic destruction of all those native languages that are spoken there.

It is a shame what happened to those white Russians after WW2 and what Britain did ,There was a Russian gentleman a fine mechanic he was in my family who managed to stay and marry a local woman , My Aunt married his son ,But when the Russian fishing ships appeared in NW Scotland in the yearly 1970s that old man got very very afraid and would shout to turn the car around
War is always full of tragedies. Our duty is to remember them and draw conclusions for ourselves.

I have been studying American society for a very long time. In theory. But practice is not available to me and seems irrational and unreal, unfortunately
Are you not admitting guilt of the very thing you are accusing Americans of doing?
Our country is not exactly the Wild West it’s been portrayed to be.
I don't blame anyone for anything. I just do not understand.
I will say one thing for sure - I will kneel only in front of my mother, my regimental flag and God in the temple. I will not stand before anyone else
I’m in agreement on this one.
I will kneel to no man.
As for your understanding.
I have heard this before about Asian cultures.
Unless you live in a culture for many years you will never fully understand.
Russian culture is not Asian. Russia is a separate civilization. The faster the West understands this, the faster we will find a common language
I'm going out on a limb here and saying that you just didn't understand what I was saying.
Obviously Russians are not Asians.
My point was that the only way to truly understand a culture is to live in that culture for a long time.
We have the same issue here with just urban and rural citizens. Totally different cultures.

History just seems to repeat without anybody learning en.wikipedia.org...
what do the people of Russia know about this time before the purges and book burning ,Even when the natzis were on the borders of Moscow books were getting altered

Some would say that the US has become a Bagdad prior to the Mongolian invasion. People here are fat and tired and the kids are more concerned with emotions than they are logic or even understanding human nature in any regard.
Sure, the cops here have been #s on occasion. They do need in some places better regulations. However, that is not why there is a "dire" need to destroy our history and ignore the good things the US has done for civilization in general.
And of course the main plan is to completely destroy all things traditional to replace them with SOCIALIST heroes. I think the plan now is that Trump seems to be the ultimate threat to that and therefore we have a "now or never" attitude from the normal crew of # rakers.
Now if the standard "conservatives" don't start taking notice and actually start doing something, the USA will sooner or later be no more.
I myself am taking one child out of public education, I have quit my job after I saw whom they donate to and told them that was why. Can I expect other people to do so? Possibly not, but if I don't do it, who will?

In your sig you have "shine on you crazy diamond"
When I was a young man, I was in the United States Navy. When I rode the bus from my apartment to the base, there was this black guy that used to sing that song to me every morning. One day I asked him why. He said, "It's just what I sing sailor and you a sailor that listen to me."
Oddly at that time there was a fleet of Russian ships that docked in Norfolk, Virginia. Some pals met a couple of Russian sailors that were bored. We got drunk with them and gave them another chemical. We had such a great time, most of them could speak pretty good english. They all wanted to space out on Pink Floyd. I remember they were confused by early Pink Floyd but loved post Syd Barrett albums. It was a really good time. I felt like the cold war was really over and we could all get along. I was young so I would think such things. ANYWAY..
It isn't a matter of things, just odd I suppose. I attract odd.
