"And no one's putting words in your mouth."Yes she is.But back on topic—I think Ukrainians should be the sole people deciding the fate of Ukraine.


I'm male. Also, I don't believe I put any words in your mouth - I just extrapolated your point to a wider context to highlight its ridiculousness. My entire point was to emphasise what you just said - that Ukrainians should be the only ones deciding Ukraine's fate - and argue against it by saying that legal immigrants to a country, who are affected by its laws and policies, should have a say in the legislation and laws they must abide.

Viktor Yanukovych was elected, idlehands. He was elected by Russians in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people want the Russian government not to hold sway over their own, and in order for that to happen, pro-Kremlin parties have to stop being elected in Ukraine. The only way for that to stop is either for pro-Kremlin parties to be banned, or Russians insistent on bringing Russia to them rather than going back to Russia to leave.


So, in the UK or US or Canada or wherever else, they should disregard the votes of any immigrants? If the majority of a country's population are immigrants, then the country should be represented by who those immigrants choose. That's a somewhat simplified view, yes, but still, the point of a democratically elected government is to represent the majority of the country's population, not to represent only the traditional inhabitants of that country.

EDIT: Note, I'm not saying the majority of the Ukrainian population is Russian, but there's a significant enough portion that (assuming, as per your view, the Russians in Ukraine are responsible for the election of the current party in power) they hold a major sway over the vote.

You have to remember, this is coming from the same guy who sees the solution to the Ukrainian troubles as deporting anyone who is of Russian descent from those countries back to Russia. Because, you know, deportation of mass populations always works out.


He's just being contrary. I hope. I pray.

Not harsh enough. The world would be a better place if that entire genre didn't exist. Normally I don't really care what people listen to, but the culture built up around that sort of music is a plague.


hey
let's just get rid of everyone we don't like
that always ends well
Look, Flo Rida's lyrics might not be the best, but it's a bit harsh to call him backward.
What's the harm? Writing about your experiences can be very therapeutic, too.

I shed out something like $130 during the past autumn and holiday sales and got like 30 games.That's talent right there.


Stores in your town must quiver in their designer boots on Black Friday. Or, rather, online retailers can hardly type for shaking on Cyber Monday.
Prepare to never ever have any money during sale-time. How can one possibly resist £10 for the entire Total War pack? Studies have shown it's impossible.
