Imo English is ugly, totally illogical, and barbaric.
I wish I never knew it.
Moreover, English is like cancer consuming other languages.
Or rather, it spreads like locust ousting languages from many lands.
Of course a sysadmin should know it(into order to read mans, how-tos etc) like a doctor should know chemistry, but after all a language is for communication and definitely unnecessary if there is no one you can speak it to.
I understand their motives just fine.
Unfortunately I don't have any magical powers to bring them back to senses and to make them look at things with my eyes and to make them understand that the ultimate value imho is not silly words but life and peace.
I am used to attending to my own business and not poking into other people's business. And I think such attitude is right. But I sometimes think that the world has gone crazy and I cannot do anything about it.
It really annoys me.
Personally I would not kill anyone for resources or money (I'd rather die or make money some other way), but they made war (ultimate evil imo) for money and resources and those responsible go free and are thought to be decent and respectable men. It's beyond me.
There are a whole world of Russia and Russian language which is not limited by central channels. There are news sites,forums, imageboards, irc, jabber rooms, ru wikipedia etc. Different people with different opinions. With all that eyes that watch the people get any information on anything.The central channels cannot tell you everything though because they are supposed to be for all and moderate. But who cares if you've got internets:-)
The Georgians hired a prepaid PR agency (whose stuff went on line unchecked) which could deceive western public and which is impossible in the East due to the overwhelming unbelief of anything in Russia.
Oblivion revives fascism. Contrary to Germans these days, part of the Estonians are not ashamed of their Nazi past, not ashamed of their role in assisting them maintaining the concentration camp on their territory. They arrange the marching of SS veterans, they raise monuments to the people that fought against the Soviets for fascist Germany. Some one should say them to stop doing like this.
If you were beaten up, would you like a picture of that in your bedroom for the rest of your life?
It's true if Estonia is for Estonians. But about 30 % of the population are Russians. So, there should be some consensus before taking rush actions which was missing.
because of the genocide by Soviet Union against Estonian citizens
I think you don't really know what genocide really is playing the words so lightly.
It's true Estonian was occupied but Estonian was German ally in WW2. Don't you know that the whole Europe was divided by those who won? Estonian as a trophy was taken by the USSR with their natural desire to move off the border. After that war it was so natural. The Estonians could as well complain about the winter or rain.
"No way."
It depends on what to do with a computer. For many it's quit sufficient to have mail clients and IM. One can only stuck in MS shoes if there's no alternative working on free systems.

they must have been bound for home and a bit off course.
Almost the same goes in UK (still speaking English) as I remember their ISPs filtering and blocking some wikipedia's page.

French Police Save Millions
At first I was so glad and thought they saved millions of people.
But I was wrong it was again about money...

Imho, purposely exaggerated. Besides, rather mild comparing with what had been done by Nazi on the Russian territory.
Push your democracy where it belongs, let the world live a peaceful and happy life.
No, if you know languages , you are able to watch things from both sides which enables you to capture a more truthful idea what goes on.
Bronze Soldier should have been and was moved
I cannot help but disagree.

They did DDOS the Russian news sites
Any decent man pinged those Estonian Nazi bastards who made that show with the monument and bodies of the fallen soldiers.
Besides, your examples have a humor in themselves :-). You'd better remember how in the US they treated their own ppl (the blacks) *at that same time*.
btw, do you think America equals the USA? I believe you do.
US authorities simply aren't getting the cooperation they need
"US authorities" are not authority and suck.
Did "US authorities" ever wonder what the rest of the world needs?
Without wars the USA could become a normal country. But I don't believe in miracles any more.
"I don't know" reply should satisfy any one.
I'd ban the Pennsylvania police for having nothing to do better than this.
Damn it. No attorney to represent them. No no fair trial to prove anything. Default judgment. It's disgusting!

still have money for this?
If you live outside of US, you don't have to pay for proprietary codecs. Most countries don't push patents for algorithms :-)
