What has any of that have to do with my post? Frankly, I'm quite confused.

Haha, I know ... but I am still a diehard defender of Russia, that was a joke comment considering how Russians typically consume more alcohol per capita than anyone else in the world, sadly ;-) I hate alcohol, and I never drank alcohol. I lost friends to alcohol, my grandfather was an alcoholic, my previous ex-girlfriend had sex with someone else at MY party because she was drunk, 50,000 Russians die from alcohol every year, etc. = plenty of reasons for me hating alcohol and more. I say we ban the fucking alcohol ;-) SAVE our people ;-)

I indulge myself on occasion, but I do love piva and taranka or red wine with dinner.

Nu togda vsyo horosho ;-) pivo eto neploho ... vino polezno dlya zdorovya ;-) a vodka eto prosto yad ;-)

Just to let you know, my best friend in Russia went to one party, got really drunk (everyone there was drunk), in the middle of the winter he went outside, hit his head on a tree and passed out. He froze to death, and everyone else was too drunk to even think of where he was until 12 hours later. And I can never forget that.


EDIT: BEtween you and me, Odessa is still a Russian city ... so many Russians in there mostly. Fucking politics have divided Russian people across borders far and wide ;-)

Well it was predominantly culturally (and religiously) a diverse population, perhaps not until after WW II as much.

Yeah, yeah, but still it was mostly Jewish and Russian populations there in Odessa .. Ukrainian-speaking Slavic people were mostly in Galicia, in lands formerly under Poland's rule (thats how they got a different dialect - for centuries dominated by Lithuanian/Polish/German occupation) ... Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and Odessa are predominently Russian ;-) for at least 2 centuries ;-) heck, it was all Slavic ... its just the capital shifted to Moscow because Kiev was too close to the western/southern empires and states and often overrun by friggin Tatars, Lithuanians, Poles, Germans ... and so Russian / Kievan Rus' was divided and it is such to the date.

Ahh, Odessa... and you're probly right, I hope to visit next summer.

Wow ... I just read that Leo Tolstoy article and WOW ... so true. its so monstrous, and true. Drinking is such a ... crime. Bypassing conscience like that ... thats clever. Those who refuse to accept that, are ignorant.

i'm sorry, being drank is not an ecxuse.
That means she didn't care for u that much)
No matter in what condition am I (well I got drank only once, as I was just curious how is it?), I never had sex "accidently" and never cheated on anyone.

So, I wish u to meet somebody really nice to be with you))
