Owlbread hates all countries with a population greater than one.

Like how Russian treatment of gays causes more interest than Russian terrorism.
*yawns*

[Sheb]

UR, why does your signature, which apparently come from a "Ukrainian Nationalist Prayer" mention Caucasian storms? Like, what the link between Caucasian storms and Ukraine?

[Knit tie]

Poor thing, it must be hard to live with that much hate.

But regarding yesterday's discussion, I think we did rather well there, discussing extremely sensible topics without flaming and even outarguing P. out of his misguided position.

[Owlbread]

Owlbread hates Russia, point taken.

I don't - I spent a few years trying to learn Russian part time and if I look at my bookshelf it's full of Russian language novels. I just hate homophobes and racists.

I'd be a little more careful if you really want to avoid flaming. Outright patronizing & condescending comments make me itch to flame.

I don't. I hate homophobes and racists.

I am afraid that every country contains at least some of both.

I'm sorry if I made any patronizing comments, it wasn't intentional in the slightest. Could you point them out for me for future reference, though?

In the post you responded to, he was specifically asking P and Sergarr to drop their own homophobia, not talking about Russia as a whole.

Trying to write this in a way that's not too rude, is difficult.

The 1 I quoted for starters. Also scroll above & see how often when an argument starts you use a kind of "deflection", by making comments on Sergar's opinions or Comrade P's. Not sure it's deliberate but it certainly looks that way to me. Like your trying to make yourself seem like "the voice of reason", by disparaging their opinions & world views.

I see. Although I don't think that Sergarr is homophobic, in all fairness, he said that he is perfectly fine with gay sex and marriage as long as they keep it private like people of all sexualities ought to.

Thank you. It's just something that's been bubbling away for a long time with regular snarky/nasty comments thrown in here and there and I think if it could stop that would be for the best.

I think if Russia is caught in another Caucasian storm their government will find it hard to maintain their grip on Ukraine.

Everyone should get married in private. You save a bunch of money and the embarrassment of a divorce.

[Comrade P.]

Anyway, looks like we managed to convert P., so hooray, I guess?

*yawn* Hello, I woke up.

Yes, reviewing my yesterday posts, I cannot understand why I got in that discussion anyway. I don't really care enough about people's sexuality - whatever they feel like is okay. Marry each other, do all the things you like to each other - just keep it out of public.

[Knit tie]

P., I am sorry I called your opinon misguided, I thought it was alright after you yourself called it "bullshit."

Anyway, Owlbread, looks like none of the resident Russians are homophobic after all. Just conservative in regards to public displays of sexuality by people of all sexual preferences.

Yeeees...

I understand there is talk of some kind of loan owed to Russia by Ukraine that Russia is demanding they pay early?
