Thanks for remembering me, Dear Abecedearian.
Actually, I do not read much these days: I am writing a book, so no time for reading...
But maybe I will find a minute now and then to come here.
(Thanks, Kenny)
Yep - of course it is about people and what they assign to specific words. For me those words are not pleasant - I believe I've never used them before my parents, and really I do not like the feeling the use of them gives to me.
****, on the other hand, is a perfectly nice word. Why not print...
Oh, I have thought about ending for quite long: a whole minute or two.
This one seemed to appear the easiest one.
You English speakers are lucky: this famous f..k word of yours is beautifully shaped. Our Russian word for the same function is very ugly, so nobody... hm... I think nobody would...
Ha.
Everybody can wear what one wishes. Everybody can say what one wishes. Etc, etc.
But he/she must understand that other people also have rights, and there are certain situations when "free speach" or "free behavior" could be harmful.
I.e. there are some responsibilities a mature person...
I've been to StPetersburg about two weeks ago, as I finally managed to buy our goods from the govt authorities.
They got it confiscated after all our efforts to prove our innocense came to nothing. OK, they didn't want to find the truth, they just wanted to get money. So they confiscated the...
Very queer.
Maybe you Americans are much more unstable than we are... :)
I have not met a single Russian forum where politics or religion were forbidden, and all of them manage just fine...
Of course debates get very heated sometimes, - but OK, one may kill you in the street, but only call...
Oh, Isabell, how would you like hundreds of people waiting in their cars for many minutes (and sometimes for hours!) every time some fat cat decides to use our Government Airfield in Vnukovo? All traffic is cut by our police from both directions between Vnukovo and Moscow until the best people...
Hi StillLearn!
Really, I cannot uderstand why we cannot talk politics here. Religion - OK, this problem they have because of some seemingly harmless cartoons shows us it's very wise to leave religion lie. But politics... OK, OK - these are the rules.
Though I do not think discussing of this...
Yep, this is the problem how I see it: people in authority think they have other rules to live by than ordinary people.
This tragedy is just one of the most obvious, but we have lots of such.
Sorry, people, I want to tell about one of our Russian problems.
Just to know your attitude, who cares.
The story goes like this:
We had a humor actor Mikhail Evdokimov, who was very popular until several years ago, when he got elected to be the Governor of a large Altay region. I cannot...
Hi Flower!
Thanks, I am OK. Yes, of course I know about the cartoons, and of course I would have liked to know yours and Kenny's opinions about this problem, as well as others on this forum, and of course it is a shame we cannot do it here. But we have our @-mails, haven't we?
Oh, I see you...
I think both.
Yep, and I imagine translation translation takes time.
Yep, that hurts. My position in our company has been shifted because of it, and I am compensating my personal customers. That is somewhat easier than I feared, as this year started with very good profits for me.
