heh... i'm not saying that there aren't good russian people out there... its just that i've had moral or personality conflicts with a fair majority of those i've met.. something about the soviet way of life instilled in people that its okay to lie, cheat and scam people as well as be judgemental and racist... and those things tend to turn my stomach... and yeah, there's the whole aspect of it that i have some of these qualities to a less severe degree, and dislike them in myself, so i have even less patience for them as the misgivings in others... it just sickens me the extent to which most russians i know have the elitist attitude that they're by nature so much better then an american could be, and that i've yet to meet a russian person under the age of 25 who is not racist, and in my book, the less interaction i have with people like that the better my day will be...
