Not only Russia, but also countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia, Albania, and also Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Turkey, for what could be considered Europe, and, until 6-8 years ago, countries such as Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and maybe Greece, even though Greece has been part of the EU since the 1980's or so.

Just as an example, many people complain about Mexico, including its citizens, and compare its huge differences with the United States, its low wages, poverty, corrupt goverment, corrupt police, bad services, etc.

Getting back to my point, I've been there, and from what I've investigated on the net about countries in Europe, standard of living in Mexico is higher at least than in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, [...], and in Turkey.

Not sure about Croatia, Romania, or Greece, definitely not Slovenia, Poland or Czech Republic. I dont consider myself anti-EE, anyway, I think living in Mexico is better than in the first round of countries of my previous reply.

FYI, saying that Finns are Russians or "Eastern" because we were a part of Russia at some point is as insulting as calling someone a nigger or spic.



Because Eastern Europe = Russia. And that nation has brought nothing but misery to anyone west from it. And we, successfully, have fought off that Eastern moloch for a 1000 years so we can retain our WESTERN culture.

If you don't see the insult, I will post a Muhammad picture next. Maybe then you'll get it.

Goddamnit, I would've chosen Hitler over the USSR.
You mean the man who was largely responsible for WWII, which was the deadliest human conflict in our history? The irony of this is that initially the Finns were not considered part of the "Nordic master-race" and for that reason Swedish speakers were being recruited instead of them...

Let me see... maybe could it be for that reason that it wiped out half of my family, and nothing good has ever come from that side of the border. I don't hate the Russian people, I hate the ignorant Russian expansionism and their moronic leaders.

Race has nothing to do with it, I don't give a damn if they are 1% white or 100% white.

Neither were the Italians, Spanish, Slovakians, Hungarians, Croatians, Romanians or Bulgarians. So?

Honestly I'd take Japanese imperialism over PRC as well. Japan was also responsible for WWII, aka the deadliest human conflict in the history. It's probably a similar mindset.

You are problably right, but don't forget Mexico has higher crime rates than elsewhere in Europe.

Sometimes you just have to choose between cancer and AIDS and see which one you'll survive.


With this I don't want to have nothing to do with:

Well, I was just pointing out that you would side with someone who considers you inferior (to say the least).
