My wife left me!

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Face the fact, Russians are arrogant. The average Russian male walks and talks with a swagger, and can beat his wife without her having any legal recourse; then, he can divorce her and take all her possessions. The average Russian female is blinded by arrogance and doesn’t realize she would be better off finding a non-Russian husband. By the way, arrogance is pride, overbearing pride.

Holy cr@p . That in itself is an insult to your wife to be, her heritage and her people. Not very classy, eh? VJ Sheesh

You know what buddy? You are a moron.

I would never ever marry someone who had the distaste for Canada as you seem to have for Russia.

How can you even love someone when you obviously hate her culture, heritage and people?

Pathetic.

You should hear me regarding Canadians....

What nationality do you think I am?

In this particular thread, a stereotype was used to explain/justify the behavior of the original poster(s). "Sat behaved like a jerk, but considering that he is Russian (and all Russians are arrogant and insensitive), it's not such a big deal". Quite an offensive way to use a stereotype, don't you think?

No. I don't believe in the notion that it is possible to "be offensive" to others. As previously indicated, I believe that others may choose to be offended by someone else - but that feeling originates from THEM, not the person they find offensive.

Cheers!

Ah yes, I forgot all about your previous solipsistic drivel.

Consider the comment, "you are a typical American". Some people may be flattered and say, "Oh, why thank you very much!" Others may be offended and say, "yeah, well, #### you!". You just don't know how they will feel about your comment. What IS clear is that the decision on whether or not to choose to be offended by the comment rests with the receiver, the one who may or may not be offended, not the one making the comment.

Cheers!

Drivel again!

You're having lunch with two Australians and one of them is burping continuously, while another is eating with good manners. You comment to the first one: "you eat like a typical Australian".

Actually, my wife is one who helped convince me of the view I now have.

Note that in my earlier post, I used the word "average;" that means, "not all."

But, go online to a Russian dating site. Contact some of the women there, and ask them about Russian men and why they (the women) are looking for a non-Russian husband.

I really don't care to know.

And arrogance is not overbearing pride.

I'm just wondering.... mox, you're not Canadian, are you?

That's a shame. You want to talk about other people, and their cultures, and their heritage, and you want to label them, but you don't really care to know what you're talking about.

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Actually you know what?

Enlighten me on what you think of Canadians, just keep digging yourself deeper chump.

I haven't labeled anything other than seeing you for what you are.

I'm not the only one here who sees your blatant disrespect for an entire country. Now you want to go ahead and start picking on other countries just to get even? Always have to be the man on top huh?

Real mature.
