I heard that it is so bad in Russia that you aren't even allowed to watch TV. Instead, the TV watches YOU. All the men have crew-cuts factory installed at birth and the women are beautiful until they turn 45, when they metamorphosize into four-foot-tall shrivelled-up peat bog mummies.
Russia is like that dysfunctional family down the block. Everyone old enough to hold a glass is a raging alcoholic. Uncle Vladimir is either touching everyone innappropriately or yelling at the neighbors. The grass is too high in the front yard, and there's a bunch of old Soyuz rocket parts laying in the side yard, and the economy is up on blocks in the driveway.
The worst part is the Russian people dont really care. Many of them are still seething over the Cold War, which is why they reelected (in the loosest sense of the word) a thug like Putin. The only thing keeping him from shutting off the Ukrainian pipeline into Europe, or rolling the T-90 battalions into Chechnya is not just the United States, but China. They recently announced they were forging a "special relationship" to sort of thumb their nose at the US-Canadian-UK relationship, but its largely for appearances. The Chinese has much more to gain in a relationship with the US than a relationship with Russia. The only downside is that Putin doesnt fear Obama the way he feared Bush (for better or worse either way), but the only thing that we need to worry about with them is some of sort of coup from a rebel group or a disgruntled general with radical ties.
No shit, her type is a dime a dozen around here. Russians? The one I was with back in college (she came here when she was 12) was the craziest girl I ever dated and I am so thankful I cut off that relationship when I did. Never again.
Russia is shockingly fucked up. I know the US has its problems, but really, we have nothing on the original Commies. The society is notoriously xenophobic, and outright racist. Being black in Moscow will get you beat up, and I'm not talking getting beat up for talking to a white women ala 1950's Mississippi, I'm talking if you're simply a black man minding your own business you will get jumped and beat to hell. Also, apparently the driving is so bad everyone has a camera on their car to protect themselves from lawsuits Putin is a cold warrior, determined to restore the dominance of Russia. It seems like the Russians only care about money and dominating. It'll be interesting to see how the Russian Nationals react to the African soccer teams when they come for the World Cup. Thats sure to be a show. Also, lets not forget, this is the drunk thread, but Russia is the drunk country. By far, they drink more than anyone else in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholism_in_Russia
That is the most terrifying video I've ever seen. What the fuck is the matter with those people? I knew Russians were generally insane/eccentric, but that was outright madness. In no way was there one moment of what could be in any way described as "driving." My adrenaline is spiking watching this. "You're in the way so I am going to plow my truck through you and keep driving. Fuck you." If anyone wants a chilling read about Rooshia, read Ivan the Terrible by Henri Troyat. It is a blood thirsty, chilling read, and it sums up medieval Russia perfectly. Russian history is extremely fucked up. We're talking about a people who, after millenia of abject oppression and poverty, were kind of better off under a brutal communist dictatorship where mass killings and starvation were common. This was a step *up*. Tragically poor people for their entire history; literal slaves for the aristocracy for centuries. That kind of culture echoes into modernity.
Russia is a country that will simply never take its gigantic boot off the neck of its citizens. People who complain about The Class War in the West don't know shit. They need to open a book about Russia and the breakaway CCCP republics and find out about Oligarchs, corrupt murderous entrepreneurs, and mobsters who flay people alive and how run they show there. Moscow has more billionaires than any city in the world, explain how that's right. What do you expect from a country that KIMaster is from?
According to him he's born in Russia, is 6'5", schooled in Tae Kwon Do and thinks its cool to work out in blue jeans. Oh, he also tried to ruin iczorro's actual life over an internet forum debate. That and much more.
If anybody is wondering what I'll be doing on NYE, wonder no more: <a class="postlink" href="http://gothamist.com/2013/12/30/times_square_applebees_offering_375.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://gothamist.com/2013/12/30/times_s ... ng_375.php</a> It would be a steal at twice the price.
I like how she spends half of each of her blog posts smugly talking about how smart and innovative she is but is retarded enough to post a picture of herself holding her credit card without blacking out the numbers. For half of a second, I couldn't believe someone is giving her a TV show, but then when I realized that all she's done is reach the level of Honey Boo Boo I laugh to myself because these people don't realize that they are a part of the lowest common denominator of society and are being put on TV to be made fun of by everyone else.
How can this be real? Did they not read the scathing review of Guy Fieri's NYC restaurant? It all seems too similar. I'll just direct you towards the real way to do that: <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.theidiotboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=193" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=3&t=193</a> Nah, fuck it let's go to Applebees!
I truly, truly hope that you are right. I want her to be humiliated, shunned and most importantly smacked on the nose hard enough to realize that the only thing she's a good match for is the other things you'll find in a garbage dumpster. Which she's probably been fucked against more than once.
Yeah, you gayfags use guns. You hide and shoot from long range, where's the fun? You make a hand made knife on an open flame and you square off with your kill. If it gets the better of you than you just die a good death. You win, you feast and yes the blood DOES stay on the blade. Also, there's nothing to shoot around these parts but turkey, mostly. And those animals are so monotonously stupid they drown standing up in rain storms.
I do build the guns too, with my hands. So in a way I'm killing my game with my hands from long range, which is pretty awesome.
Highly doubt this. As you logically said earlier girls are just going to see this (and rally around her) as revenge for just using girls for sex. Like I said before, not some MASSIVE outrage in the grand scheme of things. You older guys aren't in the game anymore. What she's doing now isn't uncommon, but not as blatantly systematic. I was taken by a chick last year, we went on dates and she didn't even fake reach for her wallet. It was ridiculous. At least do the fake reach ladies. I wonder if this chick does the fake reach.
Plus, they have a huge shed in the backyard with enough explosives to turn the continental US into 4 islands.
Russia is a fucking fascinating country. Its history prior to the Soviet Union is incredibly interesting with the vastness of the country, its cultures, and geographic differences. That being said, its a clusterfuck and has been for ages. The best part of all those billionaires is their life stories. They all go from bank or manufacturing "executive" of some sort in their mid 20s to a blank 5-10 years where its basically "blah blah acquired natural resource manufacturers" and they are billionaires multiple times over by their early to mid 30s. The allocation of all the government owned companies and resources in the early 90s couldn't have been more corrupt and rigged. The "system" in the US is nothing compared to the system in China and Russia where the government doesn't give "advantages" to the wealth, they flat out hand them their wealth through sweetheart deals. I do hope things improve. Russia has always been a country I've wanted to visit, largely from an architectural and historical perspective. A friend of mine went to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the fall and said it was incredible, but there was a general uneasiness at times.
