It looks like you can compete in intelligence with Abdullah, who also thought that nicknames indicate nationalities (remember when Abdullah mistook a guy with a Spanish nickname for a Spaniard?). I wonder if you are not, indeed, this ••••••• Abdullah, since the logic is the same.

Although I can speak Russian (as well as a few other foreign languages), Russian is not mother tongue. Neither is English, so I do not ashamed about making spelling errors in English. However, I would be ashamed if a non-native speaker would have corrected my native language. Maybe, it is because you are still a teenager, right?

So you say that you could speak several other languages. Which ones? You see I speak several languages also, perhaps if you list them we could converse in them. By the way one of the languages that I speak is Russian! How about that, this dumb American can speak with you in your native tongue.

Allow me to translate what you have wrote to Igor

"2 igor,

If this MATTHESSON is a Zhid, do not expect any address from him. Pochemy by ne
rasshifrovat' ego address (tochnee, ego provaider)? Mne tozhe interesno otkuda on
pizdyachit."

The first sentence is in English except for the word Zhid which is a derogatory reference to people of Jewish extraction. The second sentence goes like this. "Why don't we decode his address (specifically his provider)." Third sentence "I'm also interested from where" I could not understand the last word "pizdyachit" but I suspect it that it is slang and that it comes from the word "pizda" Which is a vulgar reference to female anatomy.

Wow Balalaika, not only did you learn the language you also learned how to cuss in it. Must have been difficult for a non native speaker. However a person of your obvious wit probably did not have any problem.

By the way, you cannot extract a person address from his IP address.

Here is your weakness Bal. You are obviously insecure about yourself. You think you are capable of more then you have achieved. Therefore any mention of your inadequacy throws you into a denial and you seek a cleaver way to show everyone that you are indeed capable. If this was not true you would have ignored me. I on the other hand don't care what you or any one else calls me.

And I'm not Abdullah (Don't be so paranoid). And I'm not a teenager (unfortunatelly).

I would like to apologize to everyone for my dialog with Balalaika. It distracted everyone from a serious topic. I just, really dislike it when people like Balalaika play games. Please accept my apologies. I got to go, I got 2 hours before work. I'll check in later.

mr. silver

with all due respect
'games' are the operating currency here.
sorry to break it to you all at once.

oh that it wasn't the case
but it is.

2 Silver,

>>>Zhid which is a derogatory reference to people of Jewish extraction

In some Eastern European languages (not just Russian) Zhid is not a derogative name of Jews. I leave it to your philological abilities to decipher what languages I mean (but do not forget to brush up you native language, for you have some gaps, maybe because you spend too much time on cramming Russian).

>>> I just, really dislike it when people like Balalaika play games.

I am sorry for not being too serious with you. I did indeed expect you to be a teenager because of your childlish ego.

Yours truly and forever,

Balalaika

Balalayka, is the weather good in Kitakyushu?

2 Kissie,

Why don'y you check CNN's weather info for Kitakyushu?

Chechen Nation will continue struggle for Independence

War will continue until there is last Russian soldier on Chechen land

Kremlin criminals, who instigated Genocide against Chechen Nation, will be prosecuted under the International Law

We will punish all those who commited crimes against peoples of Caucasus

2 Everest,

Cool! What is next?

Russia cannot keep hiding its losses for ever. Thousands have died and will die. 5000 defenders have taken oath on Holy Book to fight to the last fighter. People will understand what this oath means in few days when Grozny comes alive with the reputation of being Grozny meat grinder. It is already a meat grinder but will accelerate churning more meat in days to come. Commander Basayev has ruled out any peace deal. It should be noted that the last time the meat grinder stopped churning Russian soldiers meat after Lebed pleaded and won a face saving deal to prevent total annihilation of Russian Army. Even if Russia reinforces its troops 100 times and uses all its stockpile of heavy weapons and asks its supporters to send other Army including Israel to help, it is doomed to annihilation. Then the Russian POW's will rebuild Chechnya.

Balalaika, well, if not Kitakyushu, then, maybe Fukuoka in general? Eh?:o)
P.S. Dear Balalaika, You brought locale issue first. And it's kinda unhealthy, and I already lapsed into it.

Anti Racist,
just don't tell me Your post has nothing to do with hashish.

2 Kissie,

I wonder what you mean by "local issue". Maybe "location issue"? If so, who cares...

As long as this genocidal action in Chechnya by the New Ultra-Nationalists in Russia continues and nobody intervenes, prospects for any peaceful settlement of the region are grim indeed. Besides of the virtual destruction of a whole country (Chechnya) there is now even a threat for political stability of a much wider scope. In particular Russia will probably face increasing economic problems, leading to a further shift to right-wing (even Nazi-, Stalinist style) politics, isolation and further hardship for the ordinary russian people.

Some comments on this board desperately try to discredit comments by Amnesty International. There is absolutely no question that Amnesty is right in saying that the indiscriminate assault on the Chechen population has gone to far. This war is not to crush terrorists, it's objective appears to be a revenge of the previous defeat and to return to old-style sauperiority by the military - Stalin style. This is very unfortunate, since a military solution will never work in the long term. The only solution is a political one. The planned establishment of a Russian puppet regime - Eastern Europe style - will only result in further instability and increased terrorism.

A number of participants on this board frequently try to compare the Nato bombing of Serbia (and actions in Kosovo) with the russian assault on Chechny. What a nonesense. The only reason Nato did embark on a bombing campaign in Serbia (and Kosovo) was to stop the Serb attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing of minorities. This was a humanitarian necessity! Any bombing campaign is regrettable, and this was the last resort, after trying to convince Serb authorities to stop their criminal actions. It did not work. The result was the bombing campaign. Milosevitch and company are war criminals, we should not forget. The suffering of the Serb people now is very unfortunate, but is the result of extreme Serb nationalism under Milosevitch. Most people in the West did not want the bombing of Serbia - but there was no other choice.

The war in Chechny is a human desaster. There is absolutely no benefit for Russia to destroy this little country.
The right (and necessity) to fight terrorism does
not allow Russia to destroy a nation completely (according to "all Chechens are terrorists"). Amnesty International is right.

Let us pray and hope for the innocent Chechen people, who are suffering under this murderous assault by the russian military during a time, when we remember the birth of a man who was preaching above all: peace. Let us hope that the russian political leadership will moderatre their approach and start negotiation for a lasting peace with their neighbours. Let's pray for peace.


and try to compare the Nato bombing campaign to this russion intervention in Chechnya.

Correction:
4th line should read: "political instability......"
