Age isn't that important. You still can't have a better view on Russia since you never lived there. If you think that's a wrong way to look at things, that's ok, but don't tell me I'm just giving you arrogant bull. All i've been doing thus far is replying to you. In fact I am much less aggrevated with you now that you said how old you are since it makes sense why you would be so much against russia/ussr and all that.

I'm not casting you aside, but i seriously disagree with the idea that youth promotes a more objective viewpoint of the world. Remember, I was once your age too and i therefore know from experience just how strong and blind the passions of young adults can be.
You'll understand this too in about 20 years when you reach my age and lest you think i'm coming off as superior, please note that i'm postive that there's 60 year olds reading this and laughing at both of us hot headed youngsters.
Life is a journey that you must travel a little before you make up your mind where it's heading.
And BTW i have nothing against the Russian people. Those that i have met during and after the USSR have always been nice folk with a rich culture and appealing zest for life. It makes me really happy that with the Soviet Union gone we can now be friends.
