Easy guys, easy, all current battles are bullshit, due to lack of cash ergo lack of eq. You will see when it happens for good.

« on: January 24, 2014, 12:49:14 am »Will you please say what "Ukrainian folks" want? ( as if the police, president, and opposing citizens are not Ukrainians... ) What is this change they want?
"System corruption" is not an alien virus or foreign power insurgents, "system corruption" is inside citizens themselves. Who is a corrupt clerk in a city administration? Is he not a typical citizen? Did some black evil magic elevated every asshole in the country to an important position?
People are dying there to change how they live, you say? So did every single terrorist in the history! Death and suffering are not a proof of anything. Just because someone is willing to die or kill for an idea/belief/wish/freedom, does not justify it in any way.
This, my friend, is called demagogy.
I set aside what UA guys want - that's pure politics and easy to find on google. I want to comment on corruption and sacrifice.
You are right that corruption is inside citizens. It is a clear case when someone gives the bribe to the cop to avoid fine. What you fail to notice, however, is that there are places in the world where one needs to bribe to get majority of his/her primary needs fulfilled. Where you don't get something you should have the access to - eg. technically free health care - without bribe. Because you are expected to give it. You have to give it to get things for which the "government" claims to exist. That's what I call "system corruption". And yes - it is inside every person. But there are cases where it is not enough to say "I will not do it" to stop it. There are cases where you need a major change of the country's structure to achieve major change of human behaviour.
Your second comment I find outrageous. "People are dying there to change how they live - so did every single terrorist in the history". Maybe so. But the same applies to every single freedom fighter around the world. People who get to arms fight tyranny, invaders, evil kings. Labourers who go out to streets to fight for better life. Death and suffering are not a proof of anything indeed. But sometimes it is just - JUST - the sacrifice one pays for a greater good of many others. And that deserves respect.
I am old enough to remember tanks and troops on the streets of the city where I was born. I can remember people being shot for what they believe. I know names of people who died for the country I live in. Holy fuck, I lost my family members because of it. And you know what? I would like to have enough courage to stand for what I believe when the time comes. And I wish you the same.

« on: January 23, 2014, 08:26:57 pm »3 steps to become new president of a modern country without proper elections:
1. claim actual president is corrupted
2. encourage peaceful protests to the point of violence
3. use wounded and dead people as stepping stone to power
4th bonus step:(click to show/hide)
What's the point of these protests? Seems pretty dumb to continue them for this long.
It is nice to live in a rich western country with well established democracy, with very limited system corruption, social security on decent level, good health care and justice system that follows some basic rules. Living like that you can afford technocratic comments with no regard to people who actually live there. Shame on you.
People are dying there to change how they live. To change the system. Not all Ukrainian folks want that change, situation is extremely complicated and I bet that attitude to what happens there depends on where exactly you live and who you are.

The video game Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword (named after the first book of Sienkiewicz's trilogy) contains a quest called "The Deluge" that is based on the events of the actual Deluge.
