Ruskii...read this...you will find it very informative and interesting. It's a bit long but really explains the situation in Russia with regards to the Islamic situation. This was written by a Russian person. Not a US article

True, but it is kind of out dated. It's Sept. of 2005. A lot of things have changed since then. Not nessesarily for the worst too. The overall situation right now, is not at all as bad as it was in, say, 2001-2003. That's the thing about Russia. Things can change drastically there in very short periods of time. Especially politics-wise.

I have NEVER SAID it was a digusting city.


If you say so. But that's not the idea one would have gotten from your post when you returned from Kazan.

Oh yeah...the toilets..not enough water to flush everything down in one flush...the tanks are too small..lol Laughing Also there is not the American version of a roll of toilet paper..you know the one that has a hole in it so it fits on the roller? The toilet paper was in a tight roll with no hole..so you either had to leave it on the floor ..gross...or on a sink..if water gets on it it's like a sponge you can't use it again. Also, the mosquitos are the size of baby bats...only kidding..however, they are big in Kazan..and the hotel windows had no screens so if you open the window the mosquitos and flies...yes flies at this time of the year are sleeping in your room with you. One more time I have to say the air quality is the worst..I was all choked up the minute I walked out on to the street. Shocked


Like I said before moron I didn't like the pollution where did I say that the city of Kazan was digusting or I hated it?? Bathrooms and air pollution..God one can say that about any city in the World including NYC..Like I said before, BC you love to twist stories around for your benefit. Also, you should get out of that little town of yours and see the world you have nothing to contribute to this forum, but find it amusing twisting other people's words. You're truely an overage pot head that needs to get a reality check on life. Treat yourself for Christmas and go for the first time to Vancouver, BC...you're love it!!


That's a good word, Stephen. It's funny, when used in that context.
I didn't twist any stories. Thats the post, the way you wrote it. Copy/ Paste doesn't lie. As a point of fact I lived in New Westminster, and Burnaby, for a year each., I lived in Toronto for 3 years. I also worked on the oil fields for a time, Up near the territories. Beautiful place.
BTW, the bathrooms in BC are very, very clean, I know NYC is a rather dirty place. You've just lowered your standards, is all. Like you did with the intelligent response standards. I can say with certainty now; I've given you too much credit. Laughing

Oh boy coming from a guy with more than 4600 postings in a year and truly hasn't anything intelligent to say. Start a new thread or something BC make yourself useful instead of cutting and pasting out old posts...what a loser. Laughing Laughing Laughing Wow you lived in Toronto for three years...living dangerously and moving on up in the world BC. What's next, Quebec City?

I guess because Canada is a big place and it is in fact a world of it's own...Yes in those terms BC is quite worldly

Way, way, way too much credit. I see that your addition is the same level as your comprehension. Ive been here nearly two years. You are a funny fellow, StephenB. You make me smile every day, with your silly posts, and opinions about how the world works. It's going to piss you off, if Hillary gets elected. She's actually going to start talking to Muslims, and coming to terms with the fact that America doesn't run the world. What will yours, and Surfguy's egos do then? Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Actually, considering the racial makeup of Canada, I am very worldly indeed. More so, than a guy who likes in Meximarica Laughing There are half a million Muslims here. We have set records, in regards to the number of immigrants that come here from China, and India. I think it's cool. The Indian, and Chinese people have contributed much to our country. You are a prejudiced person, Surfguy. So is Stephen. I feel sorry for both of you. Your anger is so misdirected, and it induces paranoia. ( big destroyer ) Laughing

Paranoia, I did like that record from Def Leppard..Anger? Only when people put words in my mouth that I haven't said. You BC, need to control your antagonizing behavior. Your frustrated about what, I don't know...light up a joint and relax.

Maybe. If you're polite, and don't call me moron anymore. ( or at least do it in a politely sarcastic manner.) I really do have a sense of humour, you know. BTW, I don't have a trailer, it's a 40 ft motorhome. Laughing Laughing

The Kinks actually had the song. Leppard was "Hysteria"
Stephen, how could you ever perceive me as angry? I answer you, and James politely, without fail. You and he call names, not me. But I am older, and probably more mature than you two. I tried the silly pictures, like Spicey does, and I tired of it quickly. But I don't want you two to stop calling me names. Everybody here thinks it's really funny. Trust me on that.

I like pot. It makes me smile, and not take life so seriously. I don't like alcohol, in any quantity. I wish it was prohibition for the entire planet. I saw my friends 5 year old daughter get run over, and killed, by a drunk driver. He never recovered from that. I hate what alcohol is doing to our native population, as well. Eh! Enough ranting huh? Laughing

Yeah, that was the point. I own two other properties. ( this one is a partnership ) I have a very cool historic log cabin, well over 150 years old, on 5 acres.


I won't show you the other place, because I almost qualify as a slumlord, on that one.

And you don't maybe think, that pot is worse then alcohol? It's more addictive, and when you are high, you have less control of your body, then when you are drunk!
