Way to go Melissa...and Americans and Russians have a lot in common! Notice in Russia how all the new found wealth...the people who have it are not hesitating to get thiers...it's a frenzy. But it is also natural too...all we have to do is look at US History from the last turn of the century...oh the early 1900s America was behaving the same way. Things in russia will smooth out and hopefully then the true good will comeinto play. Had dinner last night with abut 20 people from Russia and the Ukraine...lot of fun and the wine was poured...vodka was downed and the tequila was shared...and I was forced to speak russian...ok just the handful of words that I know. Anyway life is good and on a Wednesday night...sure helps to make the week move along Wink

I just want you all to know.. I'm soooo happy Russians are buying out all Muslim gas stations around my neck of the woods. And they did so in a matter of weeks. It is a pleasure, and I hope the other people are sent back to where ever they came from. Thanks.


And I hope they spend the money they gain from their sales to buy up all the property around you and become your neighbours.

It would serve you right for making such a hateful, racist statement. Maybe then you would learn something from them.

They probably do not own them and are only students who do not mind getting paid under the table.

Well, I am not going to complain about it, this is a Russian forum and Russians have a right to say what they want in Russian, I wish I could understand everything though. If someone doesn't mind translating it for me it would be appreciated, so I am not feeling as if I was left in left field or anything... Confused Wink


It's not a "Russian" forum. It's a forum for English speakers who are interested in Russia. There are many forums that are in Russians where "real" russians hang out.

Unless, I'm mistaken, they are talking about things that only Russians can relate to. In the west, we have been very spoiled. Russians have been through a lot tougher times than we have. Part of the Russian soul. When you struggle and win, it tends to make you more proud of where you come from. And even when you leave your country, you still miss it, good or bad, a part of you is always there.
Well , that's how I interpreted it. It would have been nice if they'd said it in English, though. Smile


Me and "No Comments" were just arguing about how Russia was no better after the Fall. I said to "No Comments": "Yeah, well, sorry about the language... I just watched the Russian TV News... can't find much diffrerent words after seeing what I saw there." Laughing

Oh, and our first reponces were... poetry. Laughing

I don't think I understood it, Melissa. What is it you are saying?

"...and I hope the other people are sent back to where ever they came from.."

Did you fall of your horse today?

I know who Muslims are! Speaking of buildings and planes...don't start with that, please. You know my oppinion on that subject.

Anyway. It was quite an ignorant statement made by Melisa.
