Exactly... Netflix is banned in our home.
Would have expected a less jingoistic post from you. You seem like a good clear thinker, but not in this post. Was Solzhenitsyn a ‘loser’?
Non sequitur.
If he’s from Romania I guarantee you he speaks Romanian, especially if he lived there.
Russian is like Chinese for Romanians - it’s totally different.
Romanian is much closer to Italian.
Of all the stupid things that you’ve said, that is the stupidest.
I am, among many things, a scribe of Jewish calligraphy. I make mezuzot, tefillin, megillot, sifrei torah and other religious items, all hand-written on parchment. Those are not inconsistent with American culture. There are Jews practicing the same art somewhere in your native Texas. Neither is moving to Israel, the Jewish homeland. People can live where they want. Do as they want. It’s called FREEDOM, which is integral to the animating philosophy of America.
If you want to move to Retardia, where everyone thinks like you, go right ahead. You’re free, too. And I will defend to the death your right to say stupid things, some of them offensive. Because I believe in freedom, and that makes me as American as you.
Unlikely, I think. But things may just get out of their control, both in the US and in Ukraine.
Do they show him butt humping another nearly naked man like the clip I watched last night did ? Very queer individual . Very disturbing to an old boomer like myself .
Not in Episode One, anyway. It was hilariously funny from the first scene to the last. I’ll let you know if and when I see that scene. Sasha Cohen had some queer stuff in Borat, too. Seems to be a thing in comedy now.
Ukrainian. There’s a gag in there where the outgoing corrupt president complains, “I learned Ukrainian!”
I know I lived there for 6 months and my first language is Spanish.
Understood almost everything. Speaking it is much different however ;)
Stalin wasn’t a slav. Joseph Dugashvilli. A Georgian. P.s. Stalin had an odd way of ambulating. Normally people stride left arm/right leg etc. But he strode left arm/left leg. Weird
“Normally people stride left arm/right leg etc. But he strode left arm/left leg. Weird”
Well, he was not a normal person, he was the “Man of Steel” :P
Directorate of Silly Walks.
Ball bearings below the belt
Good post. Especially liked where you said, “That is how you deal with Communists.”
So because they protected the steppes from Ottomans once, a few million Ukes starved to death in the 1930s should be forgotten and forgiven, then./s Some protectors.
Fair point.
I think both points can be present.
The holodomor was more recent but age has a value.
The next generation is going to stop speaking Russian.
