100% real. My grandmother could grow a similar beard if she didn't take care of it.

We have those too (a Swedish video unfortunately, but we have the same models lying around and tinkered about by enthusiasts)

And also some projects of fitting motors hat run on wood power on moskvitches etc

Oh and i forgot a saying that goes like this (literal translation, heads up for shitty wording): Estonians do Russian stupidities with German efficiency.

Trump is a little nuts but he is entertaining in his own way. He still is a terrible person and sets a horrible example for U.S. Its ok to say you think we should be more vigilant with who gets in, but he goes straight for remove them all. A lot of the people that live here haven't done anything wrong and whats more they are GHOSTWISE.

Bigotry corrupts, Absolute bigotry corrupts absolutely.

Oh shit, sorry I didn't jump in here sooner. I was having a beer and watching hockey.

Oh, and apologies for the swearing.

Maybe in some ways... but to me e.g. thai people seem even more so. This is made even worse there that unlike Finns, they really like to show (or more often, pretend) how successful they are in life.

Maybe it is a different kind of jealousy. In Finland it stems from "people should be and stay on the same level" (which also includes that boasting about one's success is bad, unlike in e.g. US or many other countries), while in Thailand it is... pretty much just pure jealousy, as in "damn he/she is lucky, why not me instead?". Talking and belittling them at their back etc.

Yeah, but I meant more in the sense like how you rate your country's politics and politicians to those in other countries? Like how corrupted, opportunistic, dumb, weasel etc. they are? I've always thought Germany is one of those countries with less shithead politicians, but how would I know anyway.

I really can't believe you!
You misspelled "dago". : (

No I didn't! :D

Looks like it can be spelled either way.

"There are no countries. Countries are just social constructs."

Some time ago, I heard about some separatist-movement, in India, where certain regions would like to form their own independent state. Is that a thing or did I read a stupid article?

LOL, I actually Googled it before I posted that, just to make sure my comment was factual. XD The only dictionary/encyclopedia sites that I saw that mentioned the spelling you used (even as an alternative form) are UrbanDictionary (hardly the paragon of reliability, especially where spelling and grammar are concerned...) and Wikipedia's "List of ethnic slurs"...a page which, I imagine, attracts the sort of people you don't really want editing Wikipedia. =P At any rate, I'd never seen that spelling before (in all my hundreds upon hundreds of hours of reading racial, ethnic and religious slurs ^_^), but apparently you're not the only one who spells it that way.

This just proves that spelling and grammar are for chumps, and we should just do away with the written word, once and for all. Reading and writing cause more trouble than they're worth.

Not only the media. For example while Donald Trump has the right to run for office he is not entitled to make it under the banner of the GOP. He could run as an independent after being excluded from the GOP for having incompatible views. Or the law prosecutors could accuse him of hate speech and discrimination (for example when asking for marking people of a certain faith) and sentence him. Or people instead of enjoying the show could publicly express their distaste for him and put more pressure on the media and their local GOP representatives to end it at least now. WIthout it it seems like he has at least some support in the GOP and among the voters and given his dangerous ideas I think this impression really should be avoided.

I wouldn't mind if he would be a lonely runner - but he runs for the grand old party which holds the Senate and the House and may as well get the next presidency and had it in the past more often than not. This makes a really bad impression. I guess politics and entertainment do not go that well together than one usually thinks.

Spinelessness. Seriously, what the fuck happened there? Over the past 2 decades we've just had the spine ripped right out of us and all but a few seem able to be able to formulate so much as an opinion about that. That might be because opinions are illegal in this country though... People get arrested and charged for posting opinions on social media, even when they don't advocate violence or direct those opinions at specific people.

Smartphone zombies. Selfie fucktards taking pictures of themselves at scenes of accidents, stabbings and other such wonders they want to share with their friends and families on social media. These are people who're completely disconnected from the reality around them and can only communicate with people who are categorically not in their immediate vicinity. Their numbers are increasing sharply and already represent a noteworthy percentage of the population. Tragically they rarely get killed in the violent incidents they pose by.

The politically correct. Another group that somewhat comprises the traits of the two listed above. Disconnected from reality, no individual thought and generally unwilling to even acknowledge a problem if doing so could offend someone's delicate sensibilities. The politically correct are widespread and probably the biggest source of irony in the UK. If irony could be harnessed as a power source then we'd be on to something.

The politically correct recognise that the branding of individuals by their race, religion and gender and promoting people of particular racial, religious and gender groups over others is entirely wrong. They counter this by branding individuals according to their race, religion and gender and encourage the promotion of people of particular racial, religions and gender groups over others.

This is merely one example of the politically correct person's mindset. That rabbit hole is a deep one.

Celebrity. I think that on the whole the cult of celebrity has past its peak. But still there are plenty who seek to fill the void in their lives with the vacuity of other peoples'.

Shit, man. Jeff Bridges has really gone downhill.

Leave the country. Never go back.

Oh, no! He went there.

Welcome to the world...? I guess? I mean, virtually every other empire and their dog would have done the same as the Brits, French, Spaniards, and Portuguese. This is kind of an unnecessary self pity.

As a Romanian who studies in US, I have a few Native American friends, and at this point none of them care about the past. History happens. Shit changes. Humans adapt. The way of life.

I feel like this is true in all countries. Or maybe that's just Eastern Europe.

I don't get it. Even countries in great economic shape love to trash talk their leaders. How does this make any sense from a human perspective?

I just lost six points and it wasn't because of that post. :P

Oh yeah, the rep system is great. XD

Insult an entire, or for that matter several entire, groups of people and nothing.
Insult one scammer, get your ass kicked. XD
