    Why do you insist on continually insulting Russians by not capitalizing 'Russia/Russians"? I'm quite aware of the geography of the former USSR.

    What's an "infringement?" :D

    Had you read my post, you would see that I responded directly to your edit of your post. You edited your post whilst I was responding to it.

    Sorry about that 'infringement".:rolleyes:

    I really do not think you want to take me to task on that one...

    My point is, you are insulting Russians by intentionally discrediting the validity of a "proper name". Proper names are capitalized. If you 'were' Russian and did that, I think you would be in a better position to display your ignorance.

    You and I know exactly why you do it.


    That was a "joke"... Borat is a fictional character.

    Like Ron White says, 'you can't fix stupid".

    nice joke, right in time.

    not an "infringement", but "Infraction", just warned you, that a moderator can do some bad things to you for that :)

    I can write however I want, if you dont have points and only can spot the CAPITAL letter was or not, then we have nothing to argue about.

    Really?


    My point is, you spell it that way for one more more reasons, not necessarily all...

    1. Because you are ignorant

    2. To purposely insult Russians

    3. You're lazy

    4. Your caps lock and or shift key is broken

    5. To be a dick

    They are numbers? Oh, but then there is no difference, i think it could be that
    number 5 is more than number 2! Am i correct?

    So was all the crying over this worth the effort? It seems Putin is calming down a bit?

    Not true at all, he is calming down just because Bush administration told him
    that they can consider the shared missile defence. The fact is that they just
    said so to buy more time, they will NEVER accept the Russian proposal,
    because the true meaning of the missile defence is against Russia, mark my
    words! Behind the scenes Russia is arming their forces with accelerating
    speed, they are not stupid.

    So you admit he's calming down and the reason is because Bush talked some sense into him. I agree.

    6. My dog is hungry, how did you forget that one? :)

    no need for words like dick, ok? Move to next forum for flaming. I can write 10 numbers of how thick you are, but that will make me worse than you. Plus there's no need to do that, it's worldwide known about average americans.

    Another one, who can't read or watch news.

    It's the other way around, my "friend". Not another Mia, please.

    So I admit he's calming down and the reason is because Putin made a smart move, so Bush don't know what to do now. I agree too.

    so USSR had to occupy and kill Estonians because otherwise someone else might have done that? That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard, basically according to your theory I should kill my neighbor because someone else might do that - hey, it is a crazy world we live in.

    Where have you gotten the idea that Estonians admire nazis? I live in Estonia, but I know no one who admires nazis. Estonians hate nazis, but they hate communists even more.

    seems like someone has been watching too much putin-controlled russian TV channels, or can you actually name any way Estonians are discriminating them? I understand that not having russian as our second official language is hard, but most of the countries in the world don't have russian as official language, so is Germany also discriminating russians? And what about USA? Or Finland?

    Being from Europe myself I agree 100% with you.

    I think the rich in US look at the world as one big market where they want to be the decision makers (meaning getting the most $$$$ they can get from it). Russia has all the natural resources a country can dream of. So Russia was great for America when Elcin (the guy who was most of the time drunk) was in power and people like Berezovsky were robbing its wealth. Corruption was everywhere which was good news for some in Washington. As a matter of fact US doesn't want Russia to be a great power, something that Washington tries to stop in anyway they can.
    IMO US wants another cold war. The first one was good the west won because it gave freedom to East Europe and the Soviet Union as well.

    But this one that Bush wants to start is totally wrong. Russians have painful memories of WII and don't want any wars with anybody. They don't need colonies to rob. They have plenty of land and natural resources. Now they are forced again to counter balance US ambitions to dominate the world. Most people in the world do not perceive Russians a threat to world peace - unlike US.

    The great once image US had is gone now and you know why.

    The MAD Concept: Mutual Assured Destruction..

    Which is kinda outdated.. I think the new wars will be fought on the frontlines of the Cyberworld... destroy the infrastructure.

    One guy in Germany in 1939 was thinking the same way and went ahead with a plan to defeat them.

    Oh yes. You are a bright one.

    First off, they can buy from any other country.

    Secondly, businessmen would do no such thing. Factories exist in China and India so even if there was an embargo, they could and would ship if from the factories.
