every woman wants to marry they dont spefically want a american man just someone
who is reasonably comfortable and a good guy. There is exceptions to this of course.
But no they arnt waiting for some american or any other nationality to whisk them off their feet
ok, please don't flame me, but everyone i met in kiev pretty much in the 2 months i was there hated america. mostly because of the war. olya's friends seem to think they are stupid. i'm just saying what they told me. but then again... many of her friends were from afganistan, etc, so i guess their opinions are biased. even olya's best friend's husband is from afganistan. so they have reason to hate americans, for sure. hell, that war has made me very embarassed to be english, since we had such close ties to it. /pete
pete,
'We' don't merely have close ties to Afgansistan, 'we' are in there fighting also so why do they hate (only) Americans over Afganistan, why don't they voice a hatred of the British, and other nationalities that have been in there, also?
Hey Danny,
How you doing? Your spelling is improving tenfold. Writing is good.
Are you still eating Carp?
America has just proven that it is the ultimate democracy by managing to elect a black president. I have never felt such a connection toward America since the early Seventies. What do you think of that? I am British.
Americans can be loud and everything may be bigger to them there but they are also very kind and good people. I dont like labeling of countries.
I met about 10 in Ukraine the last time who just went to volunteer in a orphange. America last year donated over 295 billon to charity. And lets face it without them where would the world be?
They lent their support in all the world wars and are a deterrent to alot of terrorists out there. Okay G.Bush did alot of messed up stuff but dont label the whole country.
While working where I do a American couple were looking around I said hello and they told me back in America they do the same business so I showed them around as they were interested and they asked me my name etc A month later a huge parcel arrived with different items from their place of work so show me how it was for them. And a invitation to call in if I was ever in that part of the world.
don't worry Martin if you wanna get close to that subject you will find not much love between afghans and British, that one goes back far beyond America, and actually the Brits have had some bad dealings to date with them Arabs, they did top the scales been disliked more so over there then the US for some time but really, if you are not in Arab skin it don't matter who you are, its just convenient for some to call Westerners Americans.. and a Afghan living in Kiev is like some Serbs or Croatians living in Auckland,, they don't live in there home land but like to speak second hand crap and hatred..
Colin you should get a job at the UN, you got my vote:)
but keep the UN out of NZ please..
Kiwinorth,
I don'y want to get too close, whatever that means, but too single out Americans (only) for Afganistan is as weak an argument as perhaps it is possible to get.
Much closer to home there is Russia that 'phucked' with Afganistan for years before the USA ever came close and since 9/11 there have been a number of nation's armed forced there, is it convenient for some to call also Russians Americans? :)
