Hi Konstantin, I think I can imagine how Che will react to your message so I'd like to point out a couple of things:
- There are great number of conflicts like the current Russia/Georgia one all over the world.
- All of those conflicts follow certain patterns.
- No conflict has been solved by trying to convince the world that the opposing side is at fault.
- Whenever you point your finger at somebody else, 4 of your fingers are pointing directly at you.
- In most cases the opposing parties think that admitting mistakes and trying to change their own point of view means weakness.
Now that Konstantin has pointed out all the reasons why Russia is doing everything correctly, it's Che's turn to convince us that Georgia is right and Russia wrong. This approach is as old as mankind and it rarely has produced any results other than more violence and hatred. Can't you really see any other solution?
For starters, we can talk about the difference between politics and policy. What do you think? _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Konstantin We want to be in Nato or not ,We have to decide that citizens of Georgia ,not Putin! What do you call provocation? they caught Russian spies in Tbilisi,and these people recognized,they were spies!(Russia must to be thankful,that these people are free now) Afxazia and South Osetia are parts of Georgia,every democratic Country accapts that ,but not Russia cause you want to make some damage to Countries which don't obey you like ( Georgia,Latvia,Litva,Estonia,Ukrain)!!! What do you mean allow? it's not Russia's Business,the conflict between Georgia-AFxazia,Georgia-Osetia=that is not Russia's Business just stay neutral,we'll solve the problems! 6-7 years children have been expelled from schools ,because of their etnichs,and after that,can someone say that Russia is a democratic Country?
I want it to be political problem ,not national... I have Russian friends in Georgia,they say Putin is a real xyz!!! as soon your people will throw him far away,as better it will be for all of us,and Our relations... _________________ Bombing for peace is like f.. for virginity |

Hi Che, have you ever seen an intelligent person calling the president of another country bad names in an attempt to make friends? What are you trying to accomplish? _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Did anyone see the trick pulled at Macclesfield Town's stadium a couple days ago (approximately) during their FA Cup match? Fans threw something like 30 soccer balls onto the field. That was hilarious. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

Yankee, yeah, a total of 12 of those found the opposing goal and Macclesfield Town had an instant 12-0 lead. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

Who 'we'? You and me? It seems, we are.
My and your profiles both are in open access, you can compare. Most of my posts on this language forum surely are not about politics/natilonalities/conflicts - or however you would call the topics - and focus mainly on English grammar and vocabulary in use. And views of English language by people of different cultures.

Do you actully believe that your English is getting better while you're collecting all dirty words used for the person by someone? _________________ It’s impossible to learn swimming without entering the water… |

Hello. To Che: I thought that I talked with intelligent person, who wants to speak about policy, and I tried to answer him .Why did you repeat a dirty words and equal charges in all your posts? What have you proved to me? I've disagreed with you position and I explained my position. I think that your methods of dispute are't appropriate for educated man. "it's not Russia's Business" NO, it's Russia business, because many thousands of Russians live in this republics. P.S. Don't outrage our president, since I and most of my compatriots are respecting him. He is a Patriot of Russia. He don't put his personal interests higher than interests of our nation. |
