The lady I've been talking with say some sorts of racing is popular in Ukraine,but auto racing is expensive, she had knowledge of moto cross racing, and the sport I have the love for Nascar, she never heard much of. Well someday the Ol' hillbilly moonshiners may have a race in Europe and then it wouldn't be nascar anymore. crashnsplash Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/20/2004 5:58:06 AM   I was happy to see any kind of racing being halfway around the world. With the way those idiots have been running nascar lately, its definitly taken away alot of interest towards me watching. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/20/2004 6:07:23 PM   Crash, The sport started to change the day Tim Richmond died. Name that last driver that had the charisma and the tenacity of Richmond, Earnhardt had the Tenacity but not the Charisma. I have fond Memories of number 25,last of the breed of drivers that drove hard and lived hard and added color to the sport besides the 2 minutes of recognizing their sponsors as they do today. Plus Richmond had the balls to sue old man France when they said he was using drugs. Damn I miss those days!!!!

In Kiev there is usually a military parade. Sometimes here there are also races. The whole day on the main square here in Lugansk something is happening, concerts, there are also different roundabouts placed on the square, you can ride on a horse...in the morning usually this is for children and their parents and for older people, in the evening there is a concert a disco for younger people:) And of course a "huge" firework:)))) I really enjoy the holiday, so many people in the streets, they are happy, smiling and lauging, shouting if they see somebody they know, hugging, and it seams like everybody knows every person:) sanchopanza Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/21/2004 12:11:06 PM   Ptichka, Thanks.

(western men seeking eastern women). Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/2/2004 2:00:49 PM   What elections do you mean? If you mean Ukrainian elections (on 31 of October) then I think that only in the case if one candidate will win then the situation will change, if that candidate won't win then I think that in general the situation won't change...but we will see, at least not so much time left!!! If you mean others elections...then I can't express my opinion on that as I don't know how the matters are...we're many many kilometers away from the elections then:) Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/2/2004 3:49:01 PM   Others, not Ptichka There is an erection coming up. Will it make any difference to some body here? (western men seeking eastern women). I don't think so, it's too far away to be of any comfort in the immediate future because, as usual with erections, they are temporary & important very locally only. Geriatrix: Getafix or Saynix, you produce garbage lately. Please try Dominoes if you're bored? geriatrix Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/2/2004 9:51:24 AM   You go right ahead and indulge yourself. In the meantime with respect to the election in Ukraine, it appears that neither candidate got outright majority. There will be another election later this month. The important question is whether Ukraine will look to Russia or to Europe in the future. Following is one persons's assessment of the two candidates: ..... A Crucial Choice for Ukraine By John McCain Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page A23 One election this year will determine the political destiny of a vitally important country, define its international orientation and test its democratic credentials. I do not refer to the recent free elections in Afghanistan, or the elections next year in Iraq or even our own presidential race. All these are critical in their own right, but so is Ukraine's historic step on Oct. 31. When the Ukrainian people line up that day to select a new president, the world will be watching. The importance of this election lies not so much in the candidate selected but rather in its indication of whether Ukraine will continue down a democratic path. So far the prospects appear dim. President Leonid Kuchma is retiring, and the two front-runners in the race to replace him are Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko. The Ukrainian government has used its tax laws to target Yushchenko and other opposition candidates, denied the opposition equal access to the media, disrupted campaign events, and intimidated candidates and their supporters. Most recently, Yushchenko survived a suspected poisoning that left his face partially paralyzed. In August I traveled to Ukraine to talk to government officials and opposition candidates. What I found was a sense that Ukraine was moving backward, not forward, on the road to democracy. Not only were the reports of intimidation against the opposition widespread, but there was also a pervasive expectation that the October election -- and the second-round runoff three weeks later -- will be rigged by the government. Already a local election in western Ukraine has been stolen, and there have been balloting irregularities in other local elections. These developments are disturbing not just because they abridge the political rights of the Ukrainian people but because they cast a shadow over the country's international orientation. Should the government continue this crackdown on the opposition and rig the presidential election, Ukraine's relations with the United States and Europe will inevitably suffer. And if our relations deteriorate, we risk Ukraine slipping further into the Russian orbit. I believe that, if offered the choice, most Ukrainians would choose a future tied to the West. But many Ukrainians believe that they have been denied this very choice: While the West's door seems closed -- neither NATO nor the European Union has offered Ukraine much hope of joining their organizations anytime soon -- Russia's is always open. It would not be surprising if Ukrainian leaders increasingly aligned their country's ambitions with those of their Russian neighbors. As Zbigniew Brzezinski wisely remarked, with Ukraine subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire. So it is incumbent upon both the Western democracies and the government of Ukraine to reassess where things stand today. The Ukrainian government must end its siege of democracy and make the courageous choice to hold free, fair elections. If it does so, the United States and Europe should pursue an enhanced relationship with Ukraine, looking hard at its eventual membership in NATO and the European Union, expanding our bilateral relations, and determining ways to enhance the trading relationship. Ukrainian officials must understand that more than their country's future is at stake in this election. Their reputations and their ability to conduct business are also at risk. If the oppression continues and this presidential election is stolen, the United States and Europe should institute visa bans against those responsible. These would not merely limit the ability of these officials to go skiing abroad; the visa bans would handicap their ability to conduct business in Europe and the United States. The Western democracies should also consider implementing other targeted penalties. If Ukraine's leaders wish to take their country further in the direction of Belarus, then they will be increasingly treated by the world like the leader of Belarus -- an international pariah. This outcome is entirely avoidable, but we should be prepared to move in that direction if necessary. The people of Ukraine are free individuals whose democratic rights are under attack. In his most famous work, the great Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko wrote of his desire for Ukrainian independence, hoping that one day his countrymen would join "the family of the free." The people of Ukraine have achieved this dream, and they have grasped their democratic rights. The question now is whether this love of freedom and democracy is limited to the Ukrainian people, or whether their rulers embrace it as well. The writer is a Republican senator from Arizona. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/2/2004 11:20:25 AM   Everything is written correctly about the goverment actions and so on. But the author forgot one thing...there are usual people who will vote. They want freedom, and have a better life. I'm talking about the people of middle age and young people who work and work hard. They see their future not with Russia, and have made their choise already. Older people of course remember their younger years and they want them to return, but they don't realize that this will never happen and nothing will be the same again. It is not surprising that about 80 % of students of Ukraine didn't vote for the current prime minister, they chose Yushchenko, just because they don't look back but forth. No matter how the goverment tried the prime minister won at once, he didn't. And Yushchenko is very very close to him, according to the official information, he is about 1 % of voices behind the prime minister and not all the votes are counted still. And they say that Yushchenko has won, because the real situation is completely different. That he got more then 50% of votes, and the votes for the prime minister are fakes...nobody knows the truth. We're still waiting for the official statement of votes. And we all hope for better! hoenissen Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/5/2004 8:35:14 AM   Thunderdome your post of : 02.10.2004 15:49:01 about your condition is very interesting.
