Starrysky сказала ранее о русских писательницах. Александра Ишимова родилась в этот день ( 6 января, 1805 года). She wrote books for younger readers, including the prize winning "History of Russia in...

Exactly.


When I used the term "good parent" I didn't mean it in that sense.

That should be: RESEMBLES a giraffe's neck. Your last link stated that some desireable features are universal,...

Agreed, but voters are always influenced by irrelevant things like charm, charisma, and looks.

Earlier, you complained about being judged by your looks all the time. Here is a link that tries to...

Thanks, Olya, but I think we have lost sight of the point I was making:

Ramil's reply

shows that I got the point and my linkhttp://otvet.mail.ru/question/857801/ demonstrates that Russians do...

That's my point. When a Russian says: Собака - лучший друг человека, it can mean "the dog is Man's (mankind's) best friend", or "the dog is a man's (a male person's) best friend." If he said: Собака...

Here is an example of the ambiguity that it-ogo mentioned http://otvet.mail.ru/question/857801/. He is right. The point gets lost in translation.

Actually, "the best friend of a man" in English would not refer to a certain man, the article is indefinite. A man can mean one as opposed to two or three or men in general. The real distinction is...

I get it now. In English, "Man's best friend" (the dog) and "the best friend of a man" are different in form and meaning, but a Russian would say something like "лучший друг человека" to translate...

Пожалуйста, объясните. :upset:

So be it. Russia is different, as they say. And if Russians are often misunderstood, whatever others might think, I would not say that they are "strange", "funny" or "paranoid" :hlop: .

If all age groups of the population declined at the same rate that might be true. When the birth rate declines, what happens is that the workforce contracts in relation to the sum of retired people....

Ekaterinak, I don't abhor emancipated women. If I did, I would not have started a topic asking why Russian women seemed not to have the same status as their western sisters. And starrysky, I am not...

I don't think you, Оля, are in any position to criticise me for being impolite. I remember you shouting at me in another topic. There was also a time you were following me around and taking every...

Это - русский форум. I will discuss conditions in Madagascar somewhere else.

Permit me to remind you of the real issue here:

Захотел сказать: Россия нуждается больше людей.

Вот аргумерты за и против миграции: http://www.izvestia.ru/russia/article3135943/

Больше людей нуждается в России.

Думаете вы, что мужчина с ответсвенностью, например глава рода, чаще - честный гражданин?

Что вы думаете?

Agreed.


Agreed.

I hope never to see the day when Mother Russia becomes страна бабушек, but experts say it's heading in that direction.

I have been doing some reading about Russia's population problem as well. It seems as though the small baby boom of the last two years is due to the fact that in the 80s the Soviets had a drive to...

I do not believe that the real reason why emancipated women are having fewer children is because they can't afford to have more. If the cost of raising a child was the deciding factor, you would...

The league table of international fertility rates makes interesting reading. In the top ten, with around 7 births per woman are mainly African countries along with Afghanistan and East Timor. Towards...

Starrysky mentions in an earlier post how men tend to start wars while women leaders might be more peaceable. One paradox that occurs to me, is that when women have equality with men they tend to...
