Prejudice means judging without knowledge [pre-judging], If one has knowledge and judges based on it, then whatever else it could be, prejudice it is not. Of that knowledge I - by virtue of being born and growing up there - claim sufficiency. And at sociological/civilizational level Russian civ and history are beautifully summed in the saying "ya nachal'nik - ty der'mo, ty nachal'nik - ya der'mo" [If I'm the boss, then you are a turd, and if you're the boss then I'm a turd]. This is that very fundamental level of which I was writing on this thread earlier. And naturally I deny the validity of such a civilization in all its parts: root, trunk, bark, leaves and branches. Barbari sunt, barbarice egit.

Hmm, this is strange if you are Russian, how come that you could improve yourself so much :) How do I know that you are not a homo sovieticus and "kagebun" even now?

If the leopard cannot change its spots, why should YOU?
