Russias Alienation Has a Long Historical Root

[L4E]

ok so.. this is now the "whats the best alcoholic beverage" thread?
just saying since id like to hear more from this whole russia thing, unless u guys have nothing to add.

[Z3R0]

You did the same thing everyone else did, and you didn't add anything usefull. By the way, anyone ever here of pany-droppers? Sort of a country mix moonshine.

[Loits]

Russia... /spit.

[Mathalamus]

I'm cool with Russia cause they got a good history as the soviet union

they have a good military and research stuff

(BTW I'm studying Russia in January)

[Z3R0]

They have kept up with the Us's space station. However, they really just sit around and drink all of the time. A majority of the population does this.

[Mathalamus]

uhh you cant have beer in psace...

[Z3R0]

I have seen advertising. They are making containers, specificly bottles, that hold achololic beverages and are capable of being carried into space. I said cabable, not that NASA wants drunk spacemen. Russia is a differant story.

[Mathalamus]

wll if the space men are drunk then how come the ISS is perfectly intact and not in some iraq location?

[Z3R0]

When did I say that they were drunk?

[Mathalamus]

i dunno 8 days ago?

[Z3R0]

Hmmm...don't remember that one, and "I" wasn't eve drunk. Anyway, lets not get off topic. Russians are achoholics.

Just like the majority of americans sit and eat takeways?

[Mathalamus]

we russians are a proud people! they will not sit down and talk since IM russian (one quarter) i have to oppose all of your oppinions cause you all think russia id unstable and they drink too much

[SpoonMan999]

As I've said I used to work for Russians and they were drunk most of the time, when they got a new office they only worried about where they were going to keep the vodka. And Russia does not have a good history as the Soviet Union, look into the Cold War, Stalin, and Lenin and you'll see Russia has some big black marks in the history books.

[Z3R0]

Not to disagree with you, completly, but every nation has black marks. Granted some are a lot more noticable than others. Question though, who saw that reality show, where the people were dropped off in a country but didn't know which, and had to make it back to Ellis Island? One group back packed through Russia where they found a family that offered to pay for their trip, as long as they partied and stayed with them. Anyway, all they did every morning, afternoon, and night was get drunk and sing old historical songs. And every morning they would get up and fix Bloody Maries and start all over again. I'm not saying all Russians are like that, but think of how much of Russia's population is. Families work and spend their checks on liquer; their children end up working to put food on the table and even part of the little they make to feed their siblings goes towards the parents indulgments.
