How about changing your tone? Less ridiculing and more dialogue and respect for others?
hahaha And what is wrong with my tone, comrade? I so much respect Canada that you simply can't realise it. Especially respect for the Canadian hockey team :grin:. I ridicule for my own pleasure, not to offend anybody. You Canucks don't like to laugh?
How about response to iapodos who craves attention of big Russian bear?
Don't know about "crave of attention", but looks like your conversation with him went into deadlock. Iapodos don't like NATO because this military block bombed his country in 1999 while NATO supporters trying to lay all the blame on the Serbs. I recommend to look on the root of the problem. We have saying in Russia "No smoke without fire".
From 1918 to 1945 there was a "The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes".

That kingdom was created with help of Entente (France and Britain after WWI, probably to resist possible Austrian/German & Turkish influence in the future on the Balkans). Later, "Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" was created by Josip Broz Tito after WWII (ethnically he was Croat-Slovenian).

Josip Broz Tito was leader of Yugoslavia from 1945-1980 and had great respect among nations which lived inside of Yugoslavia. But when he died in 1980 there started the growth of separatist sentiments. Fact is that, Josip Broz Tito supported the politic of further Albanisation in Kosovo, invited the Albanians to live there to show that in "socialist federal Yugoslavia, all nations can live in peace" probably. He maybe even did not think what consequences this may entail.

When Tito died, and Serbs met with the growth of separatist currents, they started to repress it in old style. But it can help only when few want to separate, unfortunately that not in case of Yugoslavia. Starting from late 80s/early 90s Yugoslavia drowned in blood and this attracted the attention of "different lovers of forced arse democratization" (such like USA & NATO) which bombed Serbians into the ground. Such a sad story.
I believe we talked about ignoring the small ones. Attitude, attitude, attitude.
For me is interesting to hear opinions of "small ones". But I have no idea why they keep silence. Probably have nothing to say or something...
Maybe my mood is up from watching the cult classic "Red Dawn" last night!
The acting is horrible, but the storyline brings ones thoughts right back to the 80!:embarassed:
I watched that movie, more delusional interpretation of communist invasion into US is difficult to imagine. Goddamn, my comrades in that movie looks like latino-arabians or something, and their accent is so terrifically bad that I think creators of the movie invented "second Russian language". I wached it like a comedy
