Novotnus: But I'm curious - how being annexed would double our wages?
Well, without condoning what the Russians have done, Crimea is a corruption ridden economic backwater (although I can't actually see this changing with it becoming part of Russia). So, productivity in Russia might actually be higher than Crimea.

However, productivity, wages and living standards are even higher in the EU and US than in Russia. By the argument in his post, there would be even greater benefits to the Crimeans from being annexed by a western power (although we don't go in for that kind of thing anymore).

Yeah. UK has enough problems with immigrants from Europe's outskirts.
Concerning high standards in EU, Bulgaria (ex USSR territory) was annexed by EU and now they are screwed. Apparently those standards are high enough only in some countries? EU accepts new members, but price is high - countries have to abandon it's own industry, because EU doesn't need competitors among it's own landscape. And, yeah, you don't talk russian! ;)

PS: All of this reminds me of Stargate SG-1 sci-fi tv series, to be precise of it's episode 10 (season 5) called "2001". Superpower destroys whole worlds without single shot. Good one.

i think they had it worse.

scampywiak: Good lord, and i thought we were uptight in the States.
I see nothing wrong with that move because removing the penis from the lion just means the lion has no gender. It could be a lion or lioness wearing spandex. That is equality. In the states(with some protest), they would just give the lion, a vagina and female breasts then tell the male soldiers, to deal with it.

Lolwut? Seriously, any time one write something like this - it just make all other sentences from this person looks as the same nonsense by default. Whats the reason to jump discussion just to prove what you are wrong from mere start?

scampywiak: Well Sweden seems a wonderful place but some the feminists there scare the shit outta me. :(
Why? The USA is the most men and boy hating country in the entire world.
This thread reminded me of this video.

I try and stay away from political statements on GOG, I don't want to rile anyone's feathers against me (unless they're really soft), but I admit that there is some merit to that. My sociology class is almost half how I'm apparently a sexist misogynist on credit of being male. And there are several other things on this topic I could go on about (one of the few political/ issues me and my buddy can complain about together) this, but I'll leave it at this. Almost makes you think dude-bro-ery is a reaction to that, not being one myself or necessarily having a high opinion of them. Same with my history text books, my political science text book, my psych book actually avoided this, and somewhat my English books (i. e. the stories and examples in book), philosophy leaned this way too. Just get tired of it.

Explain yourself. I understand nothing from your sentence. Bulgaria prospers since joining EU or what?

All "educational" places like High Schools and Colleges in America have been taken over by the feminists here so yeah...I imagine you are exposed to this on a daily basis. Unfortunately, you already gave them your money so if you want your money's worth, best to pretend to agree with everything your professors say.... If you don't, they will try to ruin your life.

Hhaahahha, damn.... that's knee hair, not a dick! :D

The lion on my country crest has the same knee hair, and probably a visible dick, depending on how you look at it :)

Oh, you have no idea (you probably do, actually), and a lot of it is that even girls/women have to be told how they're oppressed before they even notice it. So, I have to sit there and go along with it, because it's the right answer (no, people, there are stupid questions. They're anything contrary to the book, or professor). Makes you wanna put the wrong answer on the test just to see how the professor might react (giving me a bad grade is an "oh, duh," but you get it). I put up with it, but if I didn't have my mates to rant about it, it'd be pretty miserable stuff.

Edit: To be fair, most of my instructor's are nice, but it still is frustrating to be a misogynist by default.

Brainwashing all the women there to think all men are sexist misogynists is how they create recruits... to grow up and oppress men and boys in the future. Yeah, I don't recommend you test your professor because then he or she might think you really are a misogynist...because they are paranoid like that. They think there is a misogynist hiding behind every corner. It's like religious peasants a long time ago looking for a witch after someone says there is a witch in the village...

The was a proud Viking dick and now it's gone. YOU MUST MOURN NOW.
Back to the question of the OP, obvious answers:

The water fountain becomes a Vodka fountain.
GOG's home page will prominently feature a bare-chested picture of Putin holding a hunting rifle.
The only currency accepted on GOG will be the ruble.
GOG employees' forum comments will change from blue text to red text.
A much larger catalog of games.
Employees that cause trouble will be sent to the Gulag, never to be heard from again.

Oh, I know. For better or for worse, I will generally put up with all I can to help keep up a harmonious atmosphere. It's nice to talk to somebody who actually agrees with me.
