Kello, your first post is so full of bullshit I can’t even gather the will to respond to it point by point. I’m still laughing. Good show dude :). Really.

I was right, you do sound like a creationist “scientist” every time you talk about Eastern Europe. You have your own traumas or whatever anecdotal evidence to support your rhetoric about how bad / negligible / backward / and generally fucked up that part of the world is. I don’t say that as a personal attack or out of pity. I seriously believe you have a terribly distorted point of view but likely have good reasons for that. Subjective reasons, but convincing I suppose.

You’re style of debate is just hilarious. Whenever you don’t like the opposition’s argument, you bring up context, whenever the context doesn’t suit your arguments you ignore it completely. Anyway, a good show. You should definitely go into politics. You have that certain … “I shall scream loudest and I will be heard” talent.

Throw enough mud around and some of it will stick. Doesn’t matter how ridiculous the argument looks like once the viewer steps back into perspective, you just go on and on, deviating from the original topic, throwing more and more mud until you begin to sound just like one of those backward chauvinist nationalists you claim to despise so much.

Being stuck with petty ethnic feuds and rampant national chauvinism are a hallmark of Eastern European (East Elbia dude ? fo’ real ?) are they ? I expect then we should quickly relocate the Scots, the English, the Irish, the Flemish and the Wallons, the Spanish and the Basque, the Sudeten Germans and the Czechs, because surely they belong much farther to the East. Being stuck with petty ethnic feuds because of labels we all learned from our parents is an European trait. Different cultures lived for a long time in close proximity to one another and everyone has a quarrel to pick with everyone else. You will find misguided nationalists in absolutely each and every European state. You will have political parties, sport clubs, and NGOs with a proud history of chauvinistic agenda starting from Norway and down to Italy.

Sordid neo-feudal past dude ? You are either trolling, because I thought better about your interest in history, or you have a very different definition for what that is. Saying neo-feudalism was present Eastern Europe where, if anything the state had and still has to much power over the life of the individual, as compared to the hyper-capitalist Western Europe is plain bollocks.

Also, please tell me when given the chance do you also vote conservative ?
