Corrected. :)

I don't think a politician's looks play that much of a role... Berluskoni's preoccupation with his is ridiculous. When I choose a president I don't expect him to become my husband, you know. It is...

Let's keep this place clear of foul language... *) I suggest equating these two words to blaspheming and banning their use. Or using them in a reduced form so as not to hurt people's tender ears:...

But... why?? *воздевая руки к небу* :D I can actually see her very well -- talking to Obama, making speeches at the G8 summits... She is an imposing kind of person. And taller than Medved, too! :D...

:shock: Are you serious ??! Fortunately, you, most likely, shall never have a chance to see this.
A very few people take that b!tch :bad: seriously today.[/quote]
Hmm... Hmmm-hmmm... What...

And a bit of history...


from http://www.krugosvet.ru/enc/istoriya/FEMINIZM_V_ROSSII.html

Translating into plain English -- in the 1930s, the Soviet politicians, in view of the fact that...

And how many of them would want to be surgeons or cosmonauts? The fact that the percent of women who would want to become politicians is small (in which I actually agree with you) doesn't mean that...

How easily you decide for all women. :wink: Not so long ago it was thought that a woman is 'man's best friend' and nothing should be done about it. :o

Слава Богу, есть еще оптимисты в этой стране! :) А то что-то поднадоел весь этот негатив про то, как у нас все плохо.


Я считаю, что всякий труд нужен и благороден и должен хорошо оплачиваться,...

Я и не сомневаюсь в том, что миграция должна регулироваться законом (а не скинхедами :wacko: ). Собственно, вроде законы-то у нас есть, может и недостаточно жесткие. Я всегда слышу, что в Россию,...

Oi vei...


Ну в Китае-то проблемы с низкой зарплатой не из-за иммиграции, а ровно из другой области -- перенаселенности. И их экономика наоборот на подъеме. Потом, я так понимаю, что...

Khmm... No, he's not. It's one thing to try and resolve "the immigrant problem" legally and another to beat up people because of their race/ethnicity/nationality. I don't want Russia to become an...

Я думаю, что нормальные люди становятся умнее и мудрее с годами, и начинают больше ценить жизнь -- свою и чужую. Товарищи скинхеды, конечно, вряд ли когда поумнеют.

This is strange. I can understand the situation where it is the one who invites that pays the bill but vice versa... Personally, I don't usually let anyone to pay for myself because I don't like to...

And money. Money for food, clothing, education, medicine, all sorts of toys, books, I'm not even talking about high-tech gadgets. Women of the past had a lot of children but they couldn't always...

There is, unfortunately. I think it's digusting but yes, skinheads/nationalists/neo-nazis, or whatever they are called, are spreading in Russia... In my city they were allowed to organize a...

There's language interefernce for you. Since it's 'любовь К кому-либо' in Russian, I unconsciously used 'to' instead of 'for'.

As for Levin... Well, since he expresses Tolstoy's own views on...

No, I didn't know about this, in fact, I didn't even know the word 'appendage' existed (well, maybe I saw it once somewhere but it didn't register), so thank you for the correction. :)


I guess...

Those are all very interesting thoughts. I'm not sure I even know what to say... :D :upset:

Yes, I suppose you might be right about feminism not being SUCH a good idea. It has messed things up a...

But if you like a character, there's a reason for it, right? You understand their feelings or what they're going through, because you might have experienced the same thing in your life or something...

Uh-huh. Jane Austen was criticized quite a bit by some for her portrayal of men, or non-portrayal of the political situation of her time -- Napoleonic wars. And, alas, Charlotte Bronte is rejected by...

Russia has definitely never been the cutting edge of feminism and emancipation... (can you say it like that?)
There were almost no Russian female writers in the 19th century. For me it's a big...

There's nothing wrong with admiration, it's a perfectly natural thing. I too admire handsome men, beautiful women, beautiful pictures, etc. Johanna's point, I believe, was a) to contradict the notion...

That's so true. When I was working in a bookshop, one of our girls -- a very clever girl, a student majoring in history at the time -- decided to move up in the company and become a manager. So she...

*raising my hand* I voted for Hakamada for president in 2000-something. I knew she wouldn't be elected because, yes, it would seem that in Russia women aren't trusted enough to become a president....
