lets tell the people of Ukraine , Lithuania, and Finland. Russia was a bear long before it was the Soviet Union.

Many of those people fear the idea of Russians wrecking their culture, i.e. forcing them to bathe, wear clothing, use fire and cook their food and what not....

Basically, Russians have zero interest in owning any of those people, they (Russians) have enough unavoidable problems of their own.

I can vouch for you being a "nice guy." The one time we had a a2k meet in San Francisco impressed me with your humor and friendliness. You're a fun guy to socialize with, and look forward to more.

I have a sister-in-law of whom (right usage?)I dearly love. I can talk to her for hours in person and have a good time, plus I have tender feelings for her because she is seven years younger than I am and I used to watch her when I first married while her mother was gone. But, (there is always a but, huh?)anyway, get her on facebook and there is simply no talking to her sometimes.

Just saying.

My strong impression is that maporsche is a male. Indeed he specifically referred to "us guys" in his post.
That would be totally different to what she wrote here.

What does that mean? Either way my comment about what he/she wrote stands, unchanged.

I'm a 37 year old upper middle class white guy.

Younger than I thought, but otherwise I'd say it checks out.

@gungasnake,

It is really interesting that the "Rus" (the people whose name got tacked on to Russia) were originally Scandinavian traders and settlers who made their way from the Baltic Sea through the marshes and forests of Eastern Europe down toward the fertile riverlands of what's now Ukraine. And settled there. Orthodox ("Russian") Christianity started in 988, Prince Vladimir, a Kievan Rus, was baptized by a Byzantine priest in the old Greek colony of Khersonesos on the Crimean coast ...

Typical farmerman "science" type reply. Facts don't mean a thing, he operates solely on knee jerk propaganda.

SHILL FEES from your Comomal . Whats betrayal of the US worth these days gunga

If you can tell me how to get paid for posting real information (as opposed to bullshit) about Russia on forums, I'm all ears. My interest in Russian language arises mainly from issues involving music and literature (i.e. culture) which you might want to look up or try to get some kind of a handle on it some point in time.. In other words, Russian language is one item in my little collection of hobbies and, unfortunately, it's not one of the hobbies which pays the rent.

Trump's activities have added jobs. The Massey inherited is being cleaned up as quickly as possible and the business community recognizes that.

Enough hate to murder their own countrywomen! [the new all inclusive standard]

The general libtard plan for murdering countrywomen is to open the floodgates to immigration by hoodlum groups. Many of those have a tendency to rape and murder women...

So does Mr. Trump deserve any credit for solid economic results? If you think the economy is driven by concrete, specific policies around taxes, spending, monetary policy and regulation, the answer is no. If you think that what really matters is the mood in the executive suite, then just maybe.

Let's see how this plays out:

Quote:

Halloween’s coming super-early this year and it will be a shocking surprise to those currently busy looking for Russians behind every potted plant in Washington DC. First, accept the premise that your country has lost its mind.
(...)
March 15 is when the temporary suspension of the national debt ceiling — engineered in a 2015 deal between Barack Obama and then House Speaker John Boehner — finally expires, meaning the government loses its authority to continue borrowing money. The chance that congress can pass a bill raising the debt ceiling to enable further borrowing is about the same as the chance that Xi Jinping will send every American household a dim sum breakfast next Sunday morning by FedEx. The US treasury will then be left with around $200 billion in walking-around money, at a burn rate of about $90 billion a month — meaning that that around June sometime the country won’t be able to pay invoices, issue salaries, send out entitlement checks, or do anything, really. It means pure government paralysis. It means no infrastructure spending jamboree, no “great” wall, no military shopping spree, none of the Great Expectations sewn into the golden fleece of Trumptopia.
(...)
So, enjoy the last few weeks of artificial Russia hysteria and LBGTQ bathroom neurosis. You’ll have other things to think about as the daffodils come peeping through the garden loam — like what to use for money to buy stuff if, perchance, the ATM machines go to lockdown, and anyway, after three days of that there won’t even be anything to buy (or steal) at the local supermarket, given the fragility of our supply chains. I know this sounds a little extreme, like Zombie Apocalypse, but you won’t actually see any zombies around. They were just part of the perpetual freak show of the mind that is being shoved aside for the starker theatrics of reality.

Gunga really is delusional. Economic performance lags behind policy. And Agent Orange has had less than two months in charge. If the economy is doing well, it's because of his predecessor. If, in two years time, it's doing well Trump may be able to claim some credit. The real test is how America fares compared to other Western capitalist economies.

Now, imagine some whacked out religious organization with millions of worshipers were to tell advertisers that if they advertised on CNN they would boycott their goods. How would you feel if those advertisers capitulated?

This happens all the time. Don't buy these records. Don't go to this movie. Don't allow these books in the school library.

In that latter case - when school libraries are pressured by the religious right to remove/refuse certain books for ideological reasons - many liberal critics do (IMHO rightly) often decry it as censorship, though. So that's maybe not the best example.

He owns what, farmerman? As you yourself have described, "Im sure thats not what you mant but its what you wrote so you own it"; what he wrote and MEANT, was completely different than what you, supposedly a scientist, who supposedly has to deal in logic, has suggested.

The only person who owns anything here is you; you own dishonesty and illogic. Par for the course.

As an aside:
Generally, Adolf Hitler is credited with the planning, design and construction of the German Autobahn. Hitler's propaganda machines called these highways Strassen des Führers – roads of the Leader. But a study group for road construction began planning a German highway network as early as 1924, long before Hitler. And the very first stretch of today’s Autobahn was completed in 1932, inaugurated by Konrad Adenauer, then Mayor of Cologne and later Chancellor of Germany ... ... ...

@camlok,

The only issues I don't address is the 9-11 Truther crap you spout. An issue you haven't addressed, where are you from? Are you JTT redux?
