I always thought that was called saint basil's. I also always thought it was a very silly looking building, it looks like it belongs in disneyland.
If a church is something that represents Russia towards the "western world", then you are all ignorant morons. I knew what you were talking about, only undermined it because I don't care about it.
You'd laugh at yourself when you'd go to another country. You know how some countries just have good looking women and everyone kind of recognizes that?
It doesn't convey what russia is, it's just a symbol of it, like big ben for england, or the statue of liberty for america. Russians aren't all churchgoers, britons aren't all clockmakers, and americans aren't all huge importers of french goods. I'd quite like to move to scandinavia at some point, if I can't get anywhere colder.
Also if you think your gonna get woman just cause you don't drink, your in for a big surprise. Booze is definitely the only way you can get any woman. Unless both of her parents worked too.
A lot of Russian males simply have no opportunities to have any progress in their life. So they drink. They drink till they have no money, till they have no future, till they have nothing. There is a lot of them. A LOT. Women simply become desperate and tired of putting up with beatings and mistreatment. It's depressing. Especially since a surprisingly lot of them have finished some sort of a valuable education. The kind of drinking I'm talking about and the kind you're talking about are different things. You are only familiar with one, and that's a good thing.
Yeah a lot of Russian, Irish people and mexicans and ... Every race is known for drinking till they have no money or future. Hell its not just guys either, woman are too!
Maybe true, but our people are plenty more agressive. Even if they didn't drink they'd punch everyone out for no reason, but when they drink it's a fucking nuke waiting to be set off. If you ever go out to celebrate the national day or w/e, you better have some protection methods. I know that people drink everywhere, but in Russia it's far too noticable. Also, 40% doesn't really compare to 5-10%
See I don't think it has anything to do with race. I know a guy who's hooked so badly that he hallucinates when he quits. Hell my friends dad lost an arm because of it and then kept drinking afterward. My ex's family are all alcoholics and Native American. My sister is an alchy(irish, italian), My friend nelson(mexican), I know lots of black people too that drink henny everyday. It's an evil thing that ruins peoples lives. I don't think it has anything to do with race. That's just my opinion though.
The sensation of your higher reasoning ability slowly disintegrating while you desperately try to remain lucid is not a particularly pleasant one, I cannot understand the appeal of excessive alcohol ingestion.
