Let me speak from my hearth in english!


Recommended Posts

Hello to you from Moscow!

It was near a half of the year since i started watching Stefan's program. I find it quite interesting and usefull. I want to meet here people with whom i could chat and speak. I have deep interests in philosophy and politics. 

I may be a bad writer and speaker. It's all due to a lack of communication with native english language people. But i'm really looking forward to enlarge my abilities. 

So if you want to know more about so called "barbaric" Russia or you want to help me due to the philantropical feelings, contact me!

From the deapths of my hearth with love and respect.

Welcome JudenHunter!  :Welcome:

 

You may be surprised to know (or maybe not...  ;) ) that you have a better grasp on English than some native speakers.

 

(Also, the use of the word "hearth" has some poetic value to it, as well as, perhaps, hinting to the cold climate. That's one of the cool things about language in general, you used the word "philan-tropical" (philanthropic) and now we've got a double meaning of warmth and support.  :happy: )

 

How did you first come across Freedomain Radio? Have you discussed some of the ideas here and on the show with people you know?

 

Also, I'm guessing "barbaric" is a reference to the time before Peter I and Ivan when Russia was influenced by Mongolians?

I was searching information about Bundy standoff and then i met Stefan's video. His material was unusually substantiated with sources so i felt instant respect to him.

The issues that you are discussing here are very close to me. I have been thinking about such things like socialism and multiculturalism for a long time. Now finaly i can formulate my views on it.

I appreciate your good attitude to russian people but i used this reference because of other reason. I saw a lot of bad words in comments below the youtube clips with russians participation so i grew confidence that you see us as alcoholic violent barbaric people. Very well that i'm wrong in some situations.

 

 

Elephant in the room, what's with the user name?

It is a joke at my origins.

Youtube comment sections aren't usually known as sources for insightful discussions.  :D

 

As I'm sure you know, there is also a split between a government and the people in that country, and when personifying nations (or attributing allegorical representations), the generalizations and stereotypes from that nation's history are what stick out to differentiate one nation from another.

 

There's also the theory about "geography as destiny" which describes how it makes sense why an island nation like the UK would focus on navies (etc.).
