Annika77- Does the 77 mean your date of birth or your age? If it is your age, I can understand why you suggest we look for women in the 55-105 age catagory.
"... Thanks for reminding Estonia was occupied by Russia again! Im really thankful for you! ..."
--->'Don't mention the war' (Fawlty Towers episode):
Actually: History gives people many reasons for 'like' and 'dislike'. And it lasts forever!
-but, wasn't it Sovjet Union that occupied Estonia? and Sovjet no longer exists!
GLTALLTOAD, 'Remember the Alamo', may be funny now, but for many years the hate was very real...
-and, why is this relevant here? -if somebody in Hungarian pub mentions Sovjet invasion to russian tourists, then american tourist knows to hide under table...
(useful history - you know when to duck)
CORRECTION
-typing was faster than thinking.
american tourist in Hungary wouldn't have a clue
1 wouldn't understand language
2 american schools do not teach history
Sancho,
No matter what topic is discussed in this forum, you always find your nonsense way to let everyone know how poorly you think of everything and everyone remotely related or connected to the US.
We get it, OK?...you're entitled to dislike the US all you want.
This country is not perfect, the politicians suck, the economy sidelines entire social classes, racism is alive and kicking here, most of us still supoprt the death penalty, the public schools in most states are well below international levels of performance, the major cities are polluted and on and on and and on........but the vast majority of the world population STILL would jump at the opportunity to live here.
No country in the world receives more inmigration, tourist and student visa requests than the US.
And it has been this way for decades.
So please, I politely request you shut your resentful and envious pipe the next time you are prepared to make a negative comment about my or anyone else's country.
Glad,
I try to stay true to form, lol....I will always take morbid pleasure in stepping on the toes of any idiot who thinks it's OK to trash other people or other people's countries to make themselves or the rock they live under look better or more appealing.
Sancho's insidious and derogatory comments remind me of school building on a warm summer Sunday afternoon....No class whatsoever!!
Remember the Alamo??? What Alamo?? Are you talking about the car rental company??? I still hate it and don't think it's funny now! They overcharge for their piece of junk cars and don't dare bring it back one day late!!!!! :o)
One thing that I have found out with Latvian girls are that they don't seem to believe in long correspondance, at least not the two I'm writing to, they are very keen to meet a.s.a.p. Reason could be that it's not very far to travel for a Swede.....
Nisse,
Damn, how I wish we could move continents to be closer to eastern europe, lol....(get the women and then move out again..:))
Be grateful that you have the advantage of being in latvia, St Pete's or even Belarus in just a few hours flight or ferry ride.
It makes sense for a woman to ask you to meet personally when it's so easy to do it...Go for it!
Annika, I'm not saying it's bad, just an observation, and I think it's a good thing if it's possible to avoid wasting time writing letters for months, so I'm off to Riga soon:-)
Sancho tell me all you know about American History, I have 5 seconds.
Annika77 Just be glad you're not occupied my the liberal left in the United States. If you think the communists were bad I'll let Sancho be your history teacher.
As far as Politics go, everything is political in one form or another.
Humans are political, it's just natural. Like anything else there is good politics and bad politics. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
Enough of this diatribe!
Nas:
I think you may have given sancho 4 seconds too much!!!!
And as far as politics go I agree completely..........leave it to those who care,they get enough media space as it is without us adding to that here........:))
Probably about the same as you know the difference between Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Sancho.
First you accuse the American Students of not knowing history. Well if they know their own history that's more than acceptable. Damn Sancho get a grip.
You try to dazzle us with brillance only to baffle most here with your bullshit.
Here's a homework assignment Sancho, write me an essay on the political and economical stance that Nicolas Biddle and Andrew Jackson took. If you are so Erudite this should be an easy one for you.
Also for extra credit give me the ten planks of the communist manifesto and it's relative infusion into modern day American Society.
Your anecdotal snippets on history I find humorous. Being a name dropper doesn't make you smart or interesting. I take insulting one's
country as a very serious offense. Also Sancho, Texans have a very
strong feeling about their history. It was started as a country within
a country. Early in the inception of our country, Aaron Burr had an
interest in the Texas area, before Mexico had any claim on the territory. Plus you talk about ducking with a Hungarian. Go piss off
a Texan. Texas was born on courage, freedom and sense of adventure.
Something many european countries do not understand.
America is not perfect, but it annoys me when ass wipes like you make
derogatory comments about her. I would suggest if you live here, or
plan on visiting the United States you will need to invest in dental insurance. There will be many who will like to remove your teeth. So my friend if you want to make political commentary on anyones country I would suggest you do some research instead of dropping little one liners that any idiot can find in a book. Substance is still valued by many people and my friend I don't think you're as nearly educated on political events as you would like to impress the people here.

Many Europeans think we are not a civilized society because we have the death penalty. My reply to some of them has been, What civilized
society would allow murders, rapists and child molesters return to a society of good people? I include rapists and child molesters in the
capital punishment forum. My problem with the death penalty is it is
not used enough and swiftly.
Finally Sancho, when it comes to American history, please don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Also a little statistic for you Texas excutes more people than any other state. I wish more states would follow that rule and violent crime would decrease significantly in our country.If you think that's incorrect here is another stat for you.
States that have a conceal and carry law have less assaults and home
invasions than states that don't. That statistic didn't come from the NRA it was a survey done by the FBI on violent crimes in states with a conceal and carry law.
