What I absolutely admire is your patriotism! Honestly, that's really great. There is nothing of the kind here in Russia. We had a similar holiday on June, 12. It's newly established, but still... It passed so unnoticed by the masses. The only reason why we notice this holiday at all is that we have a day off. Haven't you got a day off on the 4th of July?
I think, indoctrination is a good thing in such issues as patriotism, national holidays, flags, anthems etc.

I think there are many Russian patriots, I see them here on LiveJournal. But most of my readers don't fall into this category. What is the purpose of the Russian holiday on 12 June? Yes, the Fourth of July is a national holiday and most people have the day off from work. There's a big celebration in all major cities, but even small towns usually have a big gathering with decent fireworks.

Спокойствие и только спокойствие

Ещё в 20м веке люди дошли до мысли, что в ядерной войне не может быть победителя. Никто не хочет совершать самоубийство и уж если и кто-нибудь нажмёт красную кнопку, то скорей всего, это будет наш ботексный альфа-самец, обнаруживший, что, в силу возраста, он уже не может любить женщин:)

[a_nimaida]

вы думаете такие предложения просто так поступают ?
и когда было такое? НЕ БЫЛО

это подготовка. Ядерное оружие России бессильно сейчас против пво сша и нато.

Даже если ржавые советские ракеты взорвутся в пусковых шахтах конец настанет для всего человечества, это факт. Немногие переживут ядерную зиму. Правительство как США так и европейских стран не может устроить войну не сформировав общественное мнение, а общественное мнение никогда не будет на стороне ядерной войны. Действительная угроза для мира - хитрые полковники обладающие застывшим сознанием времён холодной войны. Наш император раньше приносил проблемы только гражданам, теперь он вышел на международный уровень. Уж если ты желаешь боятся, бойся его. Никто не знает, что за мысли бродят в его голове.

I have quite a similar situation with my ISP. I am quite pleased with the quality of services and the price 15$ per month for internet and cable TV suits me. Plus, this company never killed anyone:) I think, maybe I have to arrange a similar extravaganza in its honor every year

Maybe the heat has warped my brain, but I don't understand the John Lennon reference? Explain please.

[onkel_hans]

My guess - it is a very refined sexual innuendo on the minuteman side. ;)

[andrey_kaminsky]

You're right, buddy

Да, хэпи бёздей ЮЭсЭй!
Кул кантри, йес.

[peacetraveler22]

Привет! Вы говорите по-английски?

[ext_2659449]

Здрасьте. I can only speak English a little, but read and write better.

[peacetraveler22]

Okay, thanks! I don't remember you commenting here before, so welcome to my blog. :)

Jolly holiday to you!

I would not say America is like two nations. Although I call Republicans - American Communists, they are a milder, endogenous kind The differences with the "Democratic" sub-nation are tolerable. It is really one nation.

I have seen a few various nations and feel that the Americans are the second in generosity and friendliness, closely ollowing the Dutch.

[peacetraveler22]

Yes, the Dutch are awesome! I've visited Amsterdam twice. If America continues to legalize pot in other States, perhaps we will soon surpass them in friendliness, as stressed out Americans will have another way to chill out. :) How does your family celebrate? Do you go to a big fireworks display in Boston, or just stay home? Crowds are too much for me in the big city celebrations. I only went to the National Mall once in my lifetime for fireworks on the Fourth of July, even though I live right by the area.

[onkel_hans]

Would you believe me, I have never seen pot smoked or other stuff taken in my life. Even in A'dam I simply passed by the places that emanated the specific smell. Somehow, in my environment we are pretty happy with alcohol.

There is a multistorey parking lot close by. Or a university campus observation place on a hill. Then a friend lives on Central. I will go to one of these places.

[peacetraveler22]

I don't know if pot smoking is common in Russia? Seems they prefer the bottle. In America, I think it's quite common for people of all races and socio-economic status to use marijuana on a recreational basis. I did it during university, but that was many years ago. Now, I barely even drink.
