Hell JD I'm so used to being shot at for being an American it really doesn't bother me anymore. But if you stand up for yourself you'll be accused of hatred and the like. So later the haters accuse and have fun. Perfect example, On my way over to see Larisa in July, I'm at Charles DeGaulle having a beer at the Lounge by the Delta Gates. This Gentleman of dark skinned persuasion comes up to me holding a cigarette like he wants a light. He then says Duetche? I said no, English, No I'm an American, so after I lit his cigarette for him he walks away and turns around and says"Fucking Crazy Americans" and flips his cigarette at me and hits me with it. So I'm pissed now, So I grab this asswipe by the throat and pin his ass against a wall. By that time the French Police and Some French Military guys split us up. Fortunately for me the Policeman saw the incident and asked me if I wanted to have him arrested. I said no but get his butt out of the airport because no one else needs to be treated like that. Moral to the story no matter where we go, or what we do, no matter how good it is, we will always be treated like shit from the rest of the world. So get used to it. But what I like is many come to us for aid, money military support etc and then we get stabbed in the back. Someday America will wake up, tell the UN to take a flying leap.
So if we stop sending aid to other countries,and Social Security miraculously recovers--will this mean the AARP people will send me notice that I will receive more ( in 2035) than the 530 dollars a month that I will get for putting in since 1975? Or do I need to expatriate ( lie) to collect all my SS earnings now?
Well well well...
It seems the most famous couple around this forum is ancient history. In my opinion this is a very public version of what happens to most relations between east-west people. There is no logical reason for us guys to go through all of this for the sake of a possible future Miss Smith. I usually disagree with Annika but in fact we do take our dreams for a reality even if most guys here would'nt admit to it under torture. I have no opinion on the age issue cause I'm one of the "kids" here at 25, although I would'nt go for a women older than myself.
As for Toad, he brought all of this on himself by making his relation known to everyone on the forum. However I don't think in the end that it would have changed shit if he had been more discreet.
As for myself, I think common sense is painfully kicking itself back into gear and I have realized that it actually was a waste of time trying to find halfway around the world a girl.
Yet... Hope still does exist somewere buried deep... I will end this post with a quote from one of my most sensible contryman (I'm canadian): "The facts are too overwhelming to be denied or even struggled against-except by something stronger than a fact: an idea!"
Folks I just want to point out that this previous post is from some comedian. I don't think Lena would do such a thing. This person can't even put their proper email address for rebutal.
I should explain further - nafan was troubled by the use of "caligirl" as slang that Russian women seldom used. He pegged who he though might have written the post and it appears he was right.
nasfan thought it was a reincarnation of wtrav2. He is the only member I am aware of who hails from Greece.
wtrav was already an established member and a frequent contributor when I started here more than two years ago. His remarks could be biting but they were usually helpful.
Please don't blame anyone untill you really know. Admin is probably able to check the IP up against members, and by that confirm it or not. It is just not fair if you are wrong. You just as well can be right, but I just don't like that people are being blamed because we "think" it is so...
