Hola Gringos, why you are not bringing burger instead of
bombs to Europe? By the way, what is the visa status of
your solders???
Is it possible to have a "cool" ride in one of your
fighters being on the screens of NBC?
Green go, please..

Sorry if trying to prevent mass gang rapes offends you.
But you'd change your tune in a hurry and come whining
straight to us if it were happening to your mother, to your
sister, to your wife, or to your daughter, or to you,
wouldn't you!
Hello everyone!
I am student from Architectural Faculty, University
of
Belgrade, Yugoslavia. I spent great time in Porto Alegre
by the end of the year
1997. Some terrible things are happening to me and my
people (Serbs) and I
wanted to tell you my side of the story. My people is in
a very bad position:
on one side, there is our governement that absolutely
does not care about
anything except about how to save their own positions.
We don't support this
governement. Belgrade (the capital) did not vote for
them. Not to mention that
we are under media blocade for very, very long time, and
that our ellections
were never fair. In one word - this governement WAS NOT
OUR CHOISE. On the
other side there is USA (NATO forces), which is
determined to ruin everything
that stands on its way. Do you really beleive that they
are concerned about
human rights and things like that ? The real reason for
their actions are:
strategic positions (spreading to the eastern part of
Europe, and making
"conflict areas" in the middle of Europe in order to
retain stronger than
European Community) as well as economy reasons (spreading
the market and selling
the old weapons).
Did you know that they are bombing us with radioactive
materials which are
secondary products of their nuclear industry? Did you
know, that during the war
in Bosnia (country next to Yugoslavia), USA bombarded
this territory and that
women from this areas have defected babies born today?
Do you still beilive
that they are fighting for human rights? We are in
terrible position. If they
are fighting only against our governement why are they
attacking civilians? Do
we really need this agression? Don't they have any other
way to persuade our
president to negotiate? Do we, civilians, have to
suffer because of wrong
governement on one side and agressive ways of USA to
realize their strategic and
economic goals on the other? We only want to live our
lives normally. To work,
have fun, have families, have healthy children. We are
normal people that is
very tired of everything that is going on here in the last
ten years.
Please, help us, by spreading our side of the story all
over the world. Tell
this to your friends in Brasil and in the other countries.
Anything that you do
can be helpfull.
Help us only by thinking. Remember, this can happen to
any poor nation. World
should not be a jungle.
Thank You for Your time. Trully,
Marija Marjanovic
To Marija
Shame about genocide. I'll spell that - g e n o c i d e.
Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo. - where next the Hungarians in
Northern Serbia ??
Granted you don't like your government, but was that a good
enough excuse for the Germans under the Nazi regime ?? And
please tell me how do you stop a group of people, your
people, who by their racist and nationalist policies are
hell-bent on the killing and forceable removal of a group of
people whom they clearly do not like because they are not
the same religion or ethnic background - sounds a bit like
the master race and einstazgruppen to me...
As for the absurd suggestion that this is some conspiracy to
take over the world by the US - get real ! Maybe if your
country stopped treating people (other than serbs of
course) like it was back in the middle ages, then the
bombing wouldn't happen. Stop blaming the rest of the world
for your countries own backward mentality towards other
people.
And I am not an American either !
First of all, it's not just US doing the bombing - it's
NATO. I am not American and I see many things in that
country that I don't like but at least I would have the
objectivity to criticize them rationally. The idea that
they are radioactively poisoning civilians is ridiculous.
And they are not going after civilians - these are
accidental bombings, which of course is bad, but in a
different ballpark alltogether than purposely targetting
innocent civilians as you accuse. I think your media
control has fed many lies to your people. Try stting up a
satellite dish and listening to news coverage of the war
from some other country's perspective other than Belgrade's
or US's. I think that if your government and army weren't
massacreing and raping tens of thousands and expelling
hundreds of thousands more, the US would have little
interest in your otherwise insignificant little country.
Ya ves Pancho lo que pasa con estos pinches gringos. Su
superego los tiene jodidos creen que tinen en sus manos la
respuesta correcta para justificar todas sus estupideces (o
diremos sus pendejadas, Pancho) Hey gingos How come you are
so moralists in a country where they have slaves until this
century, you modern culture? police racial-brutality, the
KKK, the psycosutdents rate raising, etc. etc. ad
infinitum. Green go and take a look inside your house, and
please if you go to school don't kill your schoolmates
STUDY a bit of history, if TV has left you any useful
neurons. Ni modo Pancho tendremos que esperar a ver que dia
se acaban de mata entre ellos. No creo que falte mucho.
Adelita,
For one, some of us gringos understand spanish, I was in
mexico on student exchange last year, and what I learned
was to be accepting of other cultures, recognize the faults
and good aspects and not to bash them. well, i'm making an
acception after this rude post. I'll do the honor of
translating your post, Adelita, for those who couldn't
grasp how inappropriate it really was. I resent you
refering to Americans as pinches (fucking) gringos and that
we have the balls to think we hold the correct response to
justifying our idiotic actions. I also don't believe the
end of us will be through killings between us.
If you are going to make snide remarks to Pancho on an
english-speaking website, and you both speak english, don't
do it in spanish. that's plain rude. I'm guessing you're
from Mexico, guatemala or some latin american country due
to your use of the derogatory word, gringo. If you want to
criticize our nation, first look at your own. Your corrupt
political system full of money laundering, fraudulant
elections and murder. Or how about the slaughtering and
suppression of the Indians in chiapas? Not to mention the
dangers of taxi drivers mugging and robbing their own
people and the gangs who hijack buses on the highway?
Don't get me wrong, I love your country, but I can
recognize the faults of both your country and mine. the
founders of your country (the spanish) and ours both
suppressed native people and held slaves. That's beside
the point, they aren't here and have no influence on
current government or what our troops are doing about the
crisis in kosovo. Espero que tu leyas esto, Adelita. Por
favor, espanol no es un idioma secreta. Si quieres decir
algo, dilo, especialmente sin el uso de las malas
palabras.
i agree, if you want to say something , say it, especially
without the use of bad words. and adelita is definitely not
from spain, they don't even have the words pinches. its so
tiresome to see these posts, especially when they think we
can't understand. i wonder if she understands sudacas or
spics. just to let her know others feel poorly about her
Could we all agree to write secret posts in Pig Latin, i
mean igPay atinLay?
