P.N.- Please tell us about the men in Moscow also. Do they all treat their woman with respect? Are they all loyal to their wives, and how are they as fathers? Do they put family first before anything else? Are you satisfied with your man? Do you not think that a woman could leave Moscow to find a man that will make her happy? And if she does, that surely doesn't mean she loves Moscow any less, only that she is looking for happiness where ever she finds it. If your only purpose here is to discourage us, then you are sadly wasting your time and ours. I'm not trying to bad-mouth russian men, I'm sure that there are many good men but maybe not enough to keep all the women happy.Your negative attitude towards us is getting me a little excited, Do you have a free week to spare next month? HaHa!
am sure you do PN, but you do not know all of them. People tend to travel in circles with similar people to themselve. For instance, lawyers know a lot of lawyers. You like your friends because they are similar to you, you have things in common, yes. And you are incorrect, the knowledge I have will help me somewhat but I have no secret handbook for women, especially Russian woman. I am no fool PN but have been in the past. It is these foolish acts that I have learnt from and hope to not repeat them. If you have any positive advice I would be glad to hear it but if all you do is desire to repeat your opinion about how we all waisting our time, I guess you can be of no help. I hope you will provide us with the positive information. Also, the ten girls I know came here but are not always happy. Happy to be in Australia but always complaining about there lives. I have met many others although I would not say that I know them that have families and seem very happy. So it seems that all sorts do this and for different reasons. It is the girls motives for doing this that I wish to understand before I aggree to be with one.
ID I do agree with you on the point that one person can't speak for all other people. It sounds funny for me when somebody says something like "I know 10 girls so I know all the girls". P.N. I'm not tryng to offend you, I'm just telling what one of my male friends told me about his attitude towards girls, and as he met several not very honest girls, he started thinking that all girls were not very honest, that all girls have 2 or 3 boyfriends or lovers...luckily he met a nice girl and they are married happily, and soon they will have a child born:)) And after he met that girl he apologized to me as a girl, before all girls he thought bad about, and he said that he was deeply wrong.
Guys!!!Let the matter rest.
i want to ask u something...
to beging with u should say that when last time we went to the sport bar to watch euro 2004 we heard a sound resembling explosion during the game. Afterwards it turned out that Chechen rebels had exploded a car. 2 men were injured. My colleague came to Moscow straight after that incident in Moscow Subway. First several days he was afraid to go out...even wanted to come back to the States (well he wasn’t the only one who was scared). And now...every time he sees a caucasian he says: «That man looks bloody suspiciously. He must be a Chechen rebel” I also have that kind of thoughts at times. TELL me - do ppl feel safe now there in the states?
I feel very safe in the US until I step foot aboard a jet. Then I scan the crowd for anyone that looks suspicious or of arabic desent. If I have any problems I would have no problem to ask the crew. If you are muslim or arabic you can blame those psycho animals that have taken your religion hostage. A few bad apples spoil it for everyone. Thats just the way it is.
P.N.- I also feel very safe here in the States. Traveling abroad is another question though. Since the terrorist attack on 9/11, I realize that safety is never 100% guaranteed.
I always feel safe. I figure if God is going to punch my ticket that
day he will use whatever instrument he chooses. Terrorist work on fear and the notion of fear. When the citizens fight back the terrorist lose their grip on fear. Hunt them all down and kill them like the horrible animals they are. I know some are going to say I'm lowering myself to the terrorist level. One thing for sure, no one really wants to pick a fight with someone who will fight back.
I am so sick of the innocent being killed. I also don't have a problem with a people fighting for their independence. It's a hell of a thing the way the world is today. We have lead to our own decadence. Will kill the unborn in the name of choice. Lying under oath is an acceptable political manuver and you get paid millions for your book about it. We deny God in our schools. We tax our people into the ground to support those not willing to educate themselves or
work. We disguise a war as a liberation and condemn a religion when neither is the real reason. We support a United Nations that has supported terrorists and given them save harbor after killing thousands of people. It is also a socialist organization the believe's in the redistribution of wealth except their own. Is it an irony that the first ten amendments compliment the ten commandments?
I feel pretty safe, but I worry about our children.
9/11 was horrific, but it was expected. When a country lowers it moral standards it also weakens its resolve.
".....TELL me - do ppl feel safe now there in the states?..."
PN,
I'm not sure you deserve the credit for asking such an important question because I doubt you had your best intentions at heart.
But nevertheless, the question remains and I want to expand on it, not just answer it.
Despite the magnitude of casualties caused by 9/11/01, life in the US is no less safe today than it was before the attack on the towers and the Pentagon.
I firmly believe that the vast majority of people living in this country face much higher chances of falling victim to any form of domestic crime or accident than we do to foreign terrorist attacks, specially if you do not live in or near a major city.
Poeple in the US keep living their normal lives, the awareness is higher, but the pace of life is pretty much the same.
The issue of safety as a general daily factor is something most western men may not think it as a critical issue to discuss with their FSU women.
Just look at the proportional concerns on our part about safety in FSU countries when we plan to spend just a few days there.....Can you imagine how much higher the concern is for the eastern woman who is considering spending the rest of her life here??
Justified or not, safety in the west, particularly where each of us lives, should be a serious and open topic of discussion with any woman you hope to invite to live with you.
Maybe P.N. is asking if we know we are in for another terrorist attack? The answer to that is yes! We can stop some of them or maybe even most of them but surely not all of them.
As for the question of safety...one of my friends once said "it may be dangerous to breath even" but that doesn't stop people breathing...OK I have never been to the USA, and I have never been to Moscow...I know that here in Ukraine I may feel safe from the terrorists atacks, and I feel very good about that!!! :)
And once I saw a Russian soldier...who returned from Chechnya...he was about to kill me as I'm not Russian, and it is vivid from the way that I speak Russian, from the way all Ukrainians speak Russian, the accent is a very strong one...so I know one thing we all will die someday, and I'm not going to be afraid to live!!:)
Yes Ptichka, a fear of dying usually ends up turning into a fear of living. I saw a story on TV not so long ago where a man would not leave his house. He had been this way for 20 odd years.
For tens thousands of years men (and woman too, I suppose) have asked what the purpose of life is all about...
Live it to a cold blooded, foul mouthed, raunchy, irreverent, anti-establishment, linguistically capable stand up comedian like George Carlin to solve the puzzle, lol.
I hate to quote anything out of Hollywood, but one movie had a conversation where one character needed help from the other, but #2 was content to sit and wait for death instead of trying to prevent it. #1 said, "You're not afraid to die, because you're already dead."
