    I know he was considered a Serbian hero during the war (:( ) but surely people can now see that this man is an animal?

    This is unrepentant jingoism. I am truly shocked.


    What bothers me the most when something like arresting Mladić happens is...the hatred between Croatians and Serbians. Yes, they almost destroyed my country but I don't want to look back and blame anyone. I want to look into the future. And then something like this happens and all of sudden everyone hates everyone. Mostly people of my age (21) that can't even remember the war because they were still little children. Stupid kids that were fed with shit by their parents.

    I have a few Serbian friends and I love them to the bone. But there are just to many radical nationalists both in Croatia and Serbia.
  2. LikeASong, how are things going over there in Spain?

    Just saw this brutal video:

    Civil wars are ugly, it will take decades to fade the scars. The most dangerous thing is that it is still possible that the situation explodes. With minorities of either ethnic group in the different countries.

    Having all those small countries in the EU would help... But having them in the Euro is one other thing completely


  4. That made me cry. Not only the video itself is brutal, but it's also a very meaningful, beautiful and powerful song by Muse which fits like a glove...

    Things are... well, too long to explain. I guess you must have read something about our whole problematique in the newspaper (if not, you can do it here or here, so I will just say that people is fed up of a corrupt and non-representative system, and we're trying to throw our arms around the world fight it - without weapons, without violence, just words, hands, flowers. It's really, really moving to see all kinds of social classes gathered together in a square, shouting the same slogans. Rich, poor, medium, left, right, everyone has joined in a way or another our movement. And I feel really proud of it.

    I hope I didn't bore you to tears

    Also a few extra stereotypes

    The French are arrogant
    The Germans are harsh
    The Dutch are cheap


    The whole of Ireland is wankered, the Welsh shag sheep, the Scots are obese / high on smack and the English fucked over at least half the world back in the day. And are parents before we're 14. Sorted.

  6. Well, that's not stereothypics but history. And it's true
  7. And Norwegians are dumb and stupid...

    Really inspiring! As I said before, I wish you all the luck of the world! People in Croatia tried this few months ago, but we still don't have that mentality, that culture of protesting. People still don't get that government should listen to them, not the other way around.

    Between Croatia and Serbia? There's no chance, I firmly believe that. Croatia is already in NATO and will probably be in EU next year. There are radical parties on both sides, but nothing that could grow into another war.

    The worst situation is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, sadly.
