In Soviet Russia... - Page 3

Strange opinions at you about Russia. It seems to me simply a set of stereotypes such as in France eat frogs, in England eternally bad weather, in Italy all is made of macaroni, in Germany all fascists. It seems to me silly. Do not take offence... But it is silly.

P.S. I can lay out a photo about that as Russian mock at Europe and America, I do not think that it will be ridiculous...

It is supposed to be silly, not taken seriously, good to see you take this with good humour.
For instance, here it is commonly known that latvians have 6 toes, but this is untrue, they have five like the rest of us, 3 on the front and 2 on the back of the foot. Allso, latvian is not a language, but a serious respiratory illness. All jokes made in a friendly way about my over the boarder brothers.

I love British stereotypes, the whole tea drinking, crumpet eating, bowler hat wearing lot of it!

@Susexx, just consider these a comical legacy of the Cold War era and it's good that we can look back on it and find any humour. Let us never forget a fundamental difference between the Soviet Block and the West:

Under Communism Man exploits Man but under Capitalism it is the other way around.

Cheers

Humph, when I was there all we got was clouds and rain.

As long as everyone understands that these are just pictures making fun of stereotypes, nothing political or condescending then we're all good.

I would live som humor about swedes, I imagine that the american perception is that all our women are blond, with nice figures and named 'Inga'. That Copenhagen is the scandinavian capitol and that we have polarbears walking in the streets.
