How can you trust these people? DavidSF translate what you wrote to me so the English people speakers can understand! I think DavidSF is a hydra account of one of the "Russian Traders"/hackers Translate what you said DavidSF or I will! (We eventually recovered my mothers money but the people who did it fled to the USA. So be careful Fellas)
What is the message that you are trying to send here? Don't deal with Russians because you got ripped off by a Russian? Well, since I've been in the UK I've been a victim of quite a few minor 'deceiving deals' organised by mainly the English. I've been ripped off by an English builder, by an English landscaper, by an English plumber (twice), by an English staffed local authority, been let down by an English accountant, been ripped off by a British airline, suffered from food poisoning in an English pub (hopefully not on purpose ), been in a fight with English football yobs that have stolen my wallet, been ripped off by English minicab drivers (many times), etc. I love Russia, even though I do not live there anymore. Yes, whenever there is poverty, there is more crime. But that does not give you the right to generalise, especially so, as you have Russian parents.
The difference is I have Russian parents, you and your friends have Soviet parents=BIG DIFFERENCE! My parents fought against the Soviets! I'm proud of that! Are you and your friends proud of being children of Stalin's Soviet Empire? Nuzhno zhdat' cto l'et poka Russkiye l'udyi na konets otkharkayutsa ot Stalinisma English Translation:- You have to wait 100 years until the Russian people finally cough out of their throats the remnants of Stalinism! If you are proud of being Russian so much why aren't you there building a better society? Your pride isn't worth 'cracker'!
I said I love Russia, didn't say I was proud of Russia. Secondly, there have been great crimes committed by aristocrats also. I still don't get your point. I don't go slagging off the English, do I? Your family have a chip on their shoulder, that's all.
there are crooks in any nations. please, do not bring such issues to the forum. what kind of response do you expect? should we be sorry for your situation? life is tough. accept it.
When did I ask you/ex-Soviet Stalinists to feel sorry for me? LOL You must be joking! I'm only saying, in my opinion, crooks are overepresented among people from the old Soviet Union...obviously!
There is a true story of a Russian gentleman who owned a bookshop and sold pro-communist and leftist literature after the Revolution in Russia He was a good communist, he even gave some of his profits to the poor people in his town. The communists shot him because one of the books he sold was not approved of by Stalin.
Stalin was a monster, but what relevance does this have with the nature of this thread? It is a hook up thread, not a political debate.
You Soviets are all touched by this monster. Educated by teachers trained under this system..and it shows! Russian Central Banker KILLED 'ganglands style' Why? He tried to improve it by making it more honest (I'm still shocked by this!) Politkovskaya KILLED murdered for being a journalist (I'm beyond being shocked!) There are thousands of good people killed every year. What has changed really since Stalin (Saddams role model remember!) was around. I just want to forewarn people what/who they are dealing with so at least they are informed. How do we know you guys really are traders?
