We were raised to hate communism and communists. As we got older most of realized that all people are largely at the mercy of their politicians. One thing CC has taught me. Russians are no different than Americans in most ways. They are smart and funny and they like most everything we like. They have a great spirit and to my surprise they are incredibly loyal to their country and feel it has a great future. Would I marry a Russian? I would marry a woman who was good for me and I was good for her. A woman who would make me want to be a better man. Regardless of where she was from.

I am from the USA. First, I was not "raised" to hate anyone. Second, I am not totally at the "mercy" of anyone, let alone politicians as long as I have free-will and the ability to think. As for the original question, it is totally irrelevant and ridiculous. We are all humans and that is all that is relevant.

<<I am from the USA. First, I was not "raised" to hate anyone.>>

Perhaps you're younger? You really need to be a Boomer to have been raised to "hate," or at least not trust, Russians.

<<Second, I am not totally at the "mercy" of anyone, let alone politicians as long as I have free-will and the ability to think.>>

We all are, regardless of what you say. For instance, you may be against the war in Iraq, yet your tax dollars are going there nonetheless.

<<As for the original question, it is totally irrelevant and ridiculous. We are all humans and that is all that is relevant.>>

That she asked it makes it relevent, because she is human and deserves a thoughtful answer.

I AM AN AMERICA, I was raised not to hate anyone ,except don't trust the blacks , Russia is our enemy and it is a evil empire,don't turn your back on a Mexican.
I went into the army where I was trained to kill Russians on the battle field before they killed me.
I do not dislikes Russians,blacks,orr Mexicans.We are all the same,deep down all we want is a good safe life and the best for our famillies.
Also remember the vast majority of American ,their ancestors came for some where other than America,so why should I care where the person you are marrying is from aslong as the marrage isn't pure economic reasons

yes but i'm not from america so my answer is irrelevant,like me! :--))

that was to the marriage question by the way :--))

n/a

wow i'm appreciated or at least my answer is :--))

ok, then i'll share my thoughts too :P
it's clear from your question - u dont believe yourself that America "really has such a bad conception about Russia" and of course all sensible people understand - it doesnt depend on nationality, but it depends on personality, regardless what country a person came from :P ...though we might get some information from mass media that America and Russia hate each other, but i think they mostly dance to politicians piping.:P ...the more u r reminded of any kind of bad conception towards some country - the more u believe it and have it like your own idea....come on, let's rather love each other ....life is wonderful! :D

n/a

I agree

great words Nadeen :)

n/a

good grief what kind of question is that,, americans would married any kind of woman from anywhere if their heart, soul, friendship and caring for each other, it wouldnt bother us americans if she was from hell---cool and by the way i am not going to answer the forum that xxxfluffyxxx wrote on signs that you're a drunk, ok---party on room

we all have preconceptions of "the other" person - our culture and upbringing does have an influence on us - none of us are as independent-thinking as we think - there are good and bad people in all places - i hope she will leave russia without too many regrets, because I could never live there, i am scared of the direction putin is taking russia

n/a

unless he DOESN'T leave... he seems to want to be the new Stalin...

and just look how the gene pool has been polluted

<<i just wonder if America really has such a bad conception about Russia>>

Bad in what way?

<<would you marry a girl from Russia?>>

Yes, but she won't marry me. :P

For the older generation… the ones who went through the cold war…. I am sure you will still find some who hang on to the “evil Russia” beliefs… but there is a new generation of us out here now… rough guess… 40 years and younger maybe…. Who do not see Russia or any of the former Soviet block this way.
Personally…. I do not give a dam where a person is from, friend or lover. What I look at is the person, are they nice? Are they kind? Are they caring? Are they a decent person? This also applies for religion… I do not give a dam about that either! A person is a person and where they are from or what God they believe in is just all secondary to me.
So dear Russian host…. Care to get married luv? :))))

I know the nice answer is to say that we're all individuals and human and countries don't matter. Sure, some of us are so independent and free-thinking and aware that this is true. But my impression is that Russia and the USA are different in some important ways, and people marrying across this line are fools if they don't think about this. It's not that one is good and the other bad, they're just different. A few thoughts:
1. Russians seem more family-oriented. Plenty of Americans have children that they don't seem to want to raise, or really spend that much time with. The Russians I've known would walk through fire for their kids.
2. Russian women work outside the home as much as American women, but it seems less normal for the Russian woman's job to be the "power" job in the family, with the bigger pay and status.
3. Americans are more mobile. They're less likely to live near their parents, brothers, sisters and may go weeks or months without talking to them.
4. Americans are more trusting, at least to start with. They don't just assume everybody is out to scam them, or that somebody must be getting screwed. They think that they are playing by the rules and they expect others to do the same.
5. Russian women are more jealous than American women (and I'm not just basing this on cc). I've heard that this is because Russian guys are more likely to cheat, but I have no way of knowing if this is true or not.
6. Russian guys come across as sexist to Americans. American guys come across as wimpy to Russians.
7. Russians (and most foreigners) have no idea how hard Americans work and how much they hate to lose. They think it just rains money in the USA, and it doesn't. And the US is a bad country to be poor in.
8. Russia is much more centralized than the US. There is Moscow and St-Pb, cosmopolitan wealthy cities... and then there is the rest of the country. The USA is not just New York and LA, and smaller American cities are not necessarily dumps (some are, too).

That said, I could marry a Russian, but I would be careful. I would want to be sure we both knew what we were getting in to, and had seen the other person in the city we would be living in, not just as a tourist (and for God's sake not just on the phone or webcam).

number 4 is a crack-up!!!! :--))

Thanks. But #4 is true, in my opinion.

I visited Russia in 1998 and enjoyed it very much. I have great respect for Russian culture. Its history is rich if often tragic. I love Russian Literature & Russian Music.

It's tragic what's going on now. The Russian ecomomy is not doing well, the Russian Mafia seem to be more in control than Putin .

I would marry a Russian girl, but not through one of the many scam Russian ageny

i got into a fight with myself because i wouldn't buy me a drink when it was my shout :--))

don't know what you are talking about

Jiver... you remember some of those from last weekend :P

very funny Fluffy :P I am wondering why Chaser wont answer now :P

you would post this here and not in her forum why?

coz i had to end the membership ,,,,,,stupid ,,,,,,you can still put in a post even as a guest ,,,,,,,,,,thats why ok

True, but it would still surely have been more appropriate to say these things in an e mail or SMS to the host personally. Do you not know her phone number etc? perhaps you're not as close as you believe.

Someone asks a simple question and you have to reply with 3rd grade name calling...sheezz

UR the one that got caught on here by ur wife and ur calling ANYONE stupid???? LOOOOL GO take a look in the mirror!!!! LOL

i can understand that Sam :)

haha, somebody got busted with the ole internet cyber relationship.

Hospice helped dying man lose his virginity - by Stewart Payne

Last Updated: 6:15pm GMT 31/01/2007

A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a nun spoke yesterday of his decision to use a prostitute to experience sex before he dies.

Sister Frances Dominica gave her support to 22-year-old Nick Wallis, who was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Sufferers usually die by their thirties.

Mr Wallis told staff at the Douglas House hospice in Oxford that he wanted to experience sexual intercourse. He explained that he had hoped to form an intimate and loving relationship with a woman, but his disability had acted as a barrier.

Did he cum and go at the same time?
The British are cummiong!
The British are cumming!

what a great idea

I think the bigger bully students said they were head cutters and told the smaller weaker students if they wanted to go back home to mum and pup at the end of the day they would become part of the " IN GROUP " Muslim... or bend over and kiss their ass... oops I mean Head goodbye

why do muslims in england always seem so angry?

They aren't allowed to have fun or be happy, it's part of their religion. They just pray all day.

Well, if they are in a big crowd, they are probably pissed off because their detinators are malfunctioning.

Belmont High Football Rules!!

i hate whiners who fake shit to get attention and r total assholes anyway

no no nooooooooo!!!!!! dont hate yourself or no-one else will lobe you!!

love*

i hope you're taking the fucking piss.... dude... go make up your own lies if your so desperate to con a woman into having sex with you... better still hire a prostitute!

I have used one lie that worked. I told the woman that I was moving very far away and it was my last night in town to be with her. It worked. It was just a question so relax. I was just curious to know if anyone else has used a lie for sex.

wow,good question.i don't have to lie,no women will have sex with me no matter what i say to them.LOLOLOL

I have that trouble to buddy

Lied with someone to get sex? Are you kidding?
I lie when I'm having sex..."Oh baby, you are the best" (titties look like a half sucked milk dud).
"Mmmm, you're tight" (please god, don't let me fall in and drown)
"That was fantastic" (Did I just commit necrophelia? Cuz it felt like I fucked a dead girl).
"I'm gonna call you :)" (you'll never see me again unless I'm drunk and desperate)

n/a

because MOST... not all... but MOST men are pigs Gort :-) take your time in trusting them :))

If most men are pigs, what does that say about the women that fuck them?
Hhmmm? Ask yourself that one.

that would make them kind and caring of course! duhhh!!!
and of course i was not refering to actually 4 legged pigs... just in their chilidish ways

n/a

n/a

and that was just to a blow-up doll,right carl? :--))

I'm telling to the guys: Ohh, pls, stop to think about yr business now, let's make sex now and later i'll help u in yr business..." It allways works ;)!!!

does it matter? you think that men are less pig like in one country then another? nope... they are all little piggies for sure... does not matter UK, US, or Aussie land.... or spain, italy, russia, romania, thailand, japan... or where ever else you might be from :D

Hmmm... what the hell was that? :-s

hehehe .... was he a cc member? :P

An amazing story. Thank you for sharing :) Do you have any with lesbians in them ?

Moral of the story...Never get married, you'll only end up alone playing with yourself.

yes,lets ask freeda.maybe she does..?:))

Do you know who this person Freeda they keep talking about is??? Who is she? Where is she??? Can you introduce me?? :-D

n/a

It is freeda with a small f, and you are probably better off not knowing.

i know her room has a small f... but i think of her with a big F :P

n/a

Good choice and smart move.

Tried to know her, but is better forgotten.

The Wonderer is much better forgotten
Freeda on the other hand... well better to remember her lovely smile for sure :-))

"because they have realised it's not worth buying a pig to get a little sausage!!" Really now? Kinda brings to mind the old saying, "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

haha the only milk you would get for free would be curdled!!

To answer your question if somebody knows....
the answer is yes, somebody knows

How much is it worth to know ?????????????$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

lol Judge Judy,how about it?
Springer is a stupid show ,actors are so bad sometimes-they make me laugh so much.But consider this-all the situations taken from real life...or at least some of them.That makes you think-how stupid people can be? Well..worth watching once or twice..then booooring!

Dr Who and its retarded crew gets my vote. What a joke of a show.

Oh come now!
There are worse shows then mine!
Soaps, the wuzzy fuzzy shows
any childrens show!

Dr Who isn't a children's show? Well i'll be damned!!

I always thought that Jerry Springer and CC were a lot alike. If you think otherwise then you are sadly mistaken.

Caught a Springer-esque talk show in St. Petersburgh once. The guests on stage were a couple, the guy revealing the bombshell that he was having a homo-fling with the chick's dad. Ho-hum, I know, but the weird thing was the audience - where people would be hooting and laughing and convulsing in stupidity on Springer, the camera would pan the Russin audience and they were all sitting there, stone-faced and taking it all seriously. It was surreal.

Yes, the freeda show.

The Wonderer show?? I thought i heard some dribble come from your mouth just now

n/a

Pretty much true. Yes :D

Even though smarm-hound pimps like the producers of Jerry Springer and similar shows select and shamelessly manipulate people from the lowest social ranks, there is still evidence to support most of your conclusion for the American population in general. Consider this:

1) Stupid? Yes. The majority, albeit a slim majority, of American voters elected George Bush not just once, but twice!

2)Fat? You bet! 60% of the American population is obese.

3)Ugly? Probably no more than people from any other nation.

4)Poor? The ranks of the poor are on the increase in America as the the gap continues to widen between the rich and the poor.

5) Badly dressed? Apart from the denizens of fashion centers like New York and Hollywood, Americans are not a very well-dressed lot.

are you fond of the word of the day website ??? :)

I'm not familiar with it. I gather it's like the word of the day calendar?

Stupidest show on TV?
"Deal or No deal", Minimal education required to play, any retard can pick a box and say deal or no deal.
The only thing dumber than playing it, is watching it.

mean you are dumber since you have watched?? :-))))

yes, I'm dumberier now, and I only watched it once

DA BEARS

n/a

Whats the SuperBowl?

tis similar to a soccer match but there is no tear gas and people aren't killed.

thats becuase its the most boring game in the world and it dont excite anybody..

ahh soccer hooligans! ..where the only excitement is when tear gas is in the air and people are dying...surpasses endless discussions of how the referees blew another game and which team dives and fakes injury more...now that's excitement!

just bites the big one.... get real, give up the sport! adopt soccer or rugby.... real mans games! :P

Americans can't play real sports, thats why they made their own! LOL!!!

true :) american football... that is a pretty good joke :P

yeah, mate......eddie the eagle was the bomb.

brits are great swimmers too.....and dont they have that wimbledon thing...when did a brit last win that anyway?

that's why in the last 100 years sports are being created in USA, basketball, volleyball, skateboarding, surfing among others...aren't you still playing lawn tennis and croquet? cucumber sandwiches anyone?

usa invents insular sports & calls themselves world champions.how can that be when they are the ONLY country competing?

there is a world "cup" in baseball...first one held last year, japan won...not much interest in the states yet but maybe next time. Lot of problems with the way it is conducted and when...during us spring training, players not in form.

no one who knows baseball would contend that the world series in MLB in the states i not the two best teams in the world.....the best players of all the other countries who play baseball(caribbean and asia rim) send their best ballpayers to the league. It was named that when USA was the only country that played, now others do, but the best worldwide play in the USA.

yes but you are never world champions only champions of your country full stop!

full stop.

and what sport inventions has britain given the world in the last 100 years? and the world championship of dental overbites doesnt count!

not a brit but americans are children of britain.

im an american and ancestors are italian....british americans are a relatively small minority of americans.

we are not children of just the brits... but most of the world
children the same, with crappy little sports games... but we are not just brits for sure :))

yeah, surfing, skateboarding, volleyball, snowboarding, basketball, baseball, windsurfing...insular! lol

it is insular when your major sports are the one's you call the champion of your country world champion.that is the point of the post full stop!!

read it again but pretend u dont speak english LJB :P

Heard it before.... :p I'm keeping my $5 ;-)

punk!

the question is why the UK? yikes... so many options :P

Buy an umbrella....

Too many $'s depending on where you wanna live. Expensive place UK, move to Spain or Italy and I'll see you there in a few years ;-)

I know Russian people here in the UK already - most are here on latvian, lithuanian or estonian passports. It is possible to get a visa and a work permit with your Russian passport but to be honest the salary you would get in the UK would be shit. Because Russia is currently outside of the EU there is no minimum salary. With a latvian, lithuanian or estonian passport then the holder is entitled to work in the UK without a visa and also get the legal minimum salary that all UK citizens get.

You may dream of living in London but to be honest forget it - its twice or three times more expensive than Moscow or St Petersburg, better bet in Manchester, Edinburgh, smaller cities. On the positive side of things there is a big Russian community in the UK now and there is work available.

and here i saw on the news and read recent;y tht moscow has become the most expensive city.....just can't trust the news anymore

http://www.mercerhr.com/pressrelease/details.jhtml?idContent=1142150

Yeah, I think I read that somewhere too.

I live in both Moscow and the UK, I was in London last month - believe me Its much easier to live in Moscow than London.

Cant you guys see a wind up when you see one?

Yeah, that list is geared more towards the cost of living for expatriats within Russia doing business. Add in the costs of paying off the police and the mafia, in addition to paying "foreigner rates" for everything, and I'm sure it doesn't really reflect the average cost of living for the typical Muscovite.

Used to live in Stafford (almost Stoke) many, many years ago but now am entrenched in London.

Say "Hi" to Robbie for me please next time you see him on the pub crawl :P

Hi Stoke Girl,
How may I contact you?

As such, I only wish to invite Stoke Girl out for a bite to eat.

So...Stokey....no I'm not from Stoke but I'll be up your way as mentioned above. You busy on the 15th? If not, fancy a bite to eat and listening to some entertaining/crazy stories?

How does it go? Good food, good company and maybe a new friend?
