new thread! something i don't like about Romania is the fact that compared to other countries there are some really expensive shit, at least relative to the normal salary(mostly the utility prices) and of course the EXPENSIVE stuff(musical instruments , PC software and IT stuff like I-pods, playstations etc.), of course music albums goes without saying, they're ridiculously expensive, and then there's really cheap stuff(mostly food, which compensates with low quality).. you can't be sure of anything here!

haterz hate on!

I hate Carnival in my country, the politics (all those damn liars and thiefs), and funk music.


and samba


Samba is played in carnaval, so is the same thing. I would like to kill all of people who play bad music.
But as it would send me right to jail, I have to stand it all
Or maybe move away to Sweden.

I gotta update now with what i hate about my current country (spain).

well, to tell the truth there aren´t many things that bother me here. getting a job is quite the hassle though (currently waiting for a phone call to get a job in a cinema) and prices are more expensive than what i am used to. however almost everything else is ok

Finally, Bosnian citizens can travel to European countries who are members of the EU WITHOUT a visa. So that's one thing I can cross off of my what-I-hate-about-my-country list.

If you're asking if Bosnia is on the path of becoming a member of the EU, then the answer is no. It has yet to fulfil many conditions before that could happen. But there is a way, a procedure that is basically the same as for any other country wanting to become a member. I'd vote yes on the matter.. hell, why not. It would make a lot of things easier.

It wasn't hard at all to cross the Croatian border - they just checked our passports. There was no luggage control. Perhaps we didn't strike them as potential alcohol/drug/whatever smugglers.

One of the MANY thing i hate about my country is that a survey in 2005 showed that OVER 95% of egyptian women were circumsized (had their genitalia (Clitorius, clitorial hood, labia majora and minora) forcibly removed at puberty or at birth to reduce their sexual appeal and supposedly 'protect' them from turning into sluts.

so, now we've got highest rates for female genitalia mutilation (95%), sexual harassment (98%), air pollution - particulate matter (169 milligram per cubic meter), divorce rates (56% - and 90% of these divorces happen in the first year of marriage), mmm what else, we're among the bottom 40 countries in the Transparency International ranking for corruption (further you go down in the list is more corrupted, while as you go up it is less corruption), our president has been in power for 29 years now, with "Emergency law" in effect for over 30 years (emergency law basically strips you from all of your constitutional rights under 'exceptional circumstances'), oh how could i've forgot, cairo is the most dangerous city to drive in, least green area squarefoot per person, one of the highest densely populated cities in the world (i think its either first or second globally)... and lots more

so, bottomline is, cairo is the WORST hell-hole ever to dwell in, and Egypt is definitely unmatchable in corruption and being overall fucked-up

There's a good reason why people think differently about that part and its politics. Besides, Turkey is not in EU so if it has occupied a part of Cyprus, it's obvious, that part won't be in EU as well...

And so our country can spend more money on important things such as buying new equipment for our army (so we could kill more muslims) and investing in other projects such as "Love gays! We are all equal! Differences enrich!"


That pisses me the fork off too. I actually think that Estonia shouldn't have a military. What the hell is it for? The only reason why we would need an army is to stop a Russian invasion, that's the only threat. Could the Estonian army stop a Russian attack? No. Never. It's impossible, which makes having an army completely pointless.

With all due respect to estonia and estonian people, but why do you guys have all these problems ? ... i mean, you're not egypt or iraq for example.. a country that is surrounded by 'enemy states' and in the centre of a military struggle .. or an oil-rich country that the american empire would be interested in.
i think what you said is correct, you do not even need an army, and would not benefit much from joining the EU .. its better for a country like estonia to stay small, neutral, and out of trouble ... you cant imagine how horrible to be living in the middle east .. almost ALL the current world problems branch out from our region .. and we HAVE to spend like 90% of our income on military so that we would not get invaded by the US or a neighbouring country, its a fucking jungle !!

To put it bluntly: we're stupid and we don't love each other or ourselves and deep down we know it and we hate each other and ourselves for it. Anton Hansen Tammsaare, a brilliant Estonian writer once wrote: "Germans love Germans, Russians love Russians, even Latvians somewhat love Latvians, but Estonians do not love Estonians, Estonians love Germans and Russians." He nailed it. He nailed it so well, that we put him on small currency (25 kroons, which is about 1.5 euros), but a nationalist poet (Jakobson) who never accomplished anything compared to Tammsaare was put on 500 kroons.

A 32 year old friend of mine had this explanation: The Soviet era turned most people into soulless tools, so Estonian parents don't (know how to) love their kids or their husbands/wives and people who don't know love, don't know the most important thing in life, so obviously they suck at living. It's course, but seems pretty much correct.

A 40-something friend from Finland had this explanation: Since childhood the people of Finland and Estonia have been taught that unless they work themselves to death, they don't deserve to live and most of us have bought into it.

In Estonia, it's cool to have HIV and lame to be a virgin at 12. Welcome to paradise, whores and murderers!

But seriously, it's not so bad if you stay away from the wrong places and the wrong people.

Well, one of the great things about being an Estonian is that it's very very easy to be smarter than the people around you, it takes almost no effort, because the average person is such a moron And no, I don't think I am some kind of super intellectual or genius, but that's the point: the average person DOES think he is, and is oh so freakin wrong.

And is estonia or latvia on a good geographical location ?

Estonia and also Latvia were on a superb geographical location... we are on the south-eastern shore of the Baltic Sea which was a very important trade route for the Scandinavian vikings and Russian vikings and also Germans... when they had already established advanced civilisations and were trading then the "savage" peoples from our region were constantly robbing their ships... so they just arrived and brought their civilisation here to tame the natives and to be finally in control of the trade routes...

We had Danes here, and Germans... and Polish... And then Sweden decided that the only thing still missing for them is the absolute power over the entire Baltic Sea region which means that Sweden conquered the area we live at and thus made Baltic Sea the inland sea of Swedish Empire...

Then Russian Empire became jealous because the only access to sea they had was the North Arctic Sea... that sucked didn't it? So there was a war between Russia and Sweden which Russia won (with the help of the Baltic Germans on the condition they can maintain their own local power here) and finally got the access to Baltic Sea... and North Sea... and Atlantic ocean...

And we had top quality crops here... our special way of processing the wheat gave it superior quality in comparison with the Western crops... it could be stored for a longer time and thus it was exported to the motherland (Sweden, Denmark, Germany)... which means that we, the slave nation, grew the crops which were sold by local German businessmen to Western Europe...
That means that when there was poor crop in the West, then all our crops was sold to them and we died of starvation...
Nevertheless, we still remember this era as our GOLDEN AGE... compared to the Soviet Union... who cares we were the most advanced Soviet Republic...
That shows that people's memory is short as hell...

Thanks for the information (even though i didnt mean that estonia or latvia werent important, i was just referring that they're not such a bounty today as they were in the past when they were a trade route (like in the russian union era and before that, the viking era) .. but overall i apreciate the info. its always good to learn something new.

so, as 'superb' your geographical location is, its not 'cursed' as the middle east ... this place is bound to have wars till the end of times.

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say it's safe to live in the Middle East, I just pointed out that people don't go for oil-rich countries only. And I'm really happy to live in such a safe place like Latvia. Even the weather is perfectly safe.
