I wish they would actually do that. Czech are notoriously bad when it comes to foreign languages. I live in Germany and visit Prague every now and then.When I ask for directions in English, I get something unintelligible as reply. When I try in German, they give me blank stares. When I repeat my question in Russian (yes, I speak Russian as well), they either reply in Russian or they reply in Czech but it is often close enough to understand - Slavic languages are like that.

So, in a nutshell, the difference according to you is that the Korean jet was shot down by the evil commies and the Iranian jet was shot down by the American heroes.

Yep. I am convinced.

Those of us in the West are hypocrites. Has USA ever admitted, that shooting down the Iranian airbus was a mistake? Nope. The official statement was that all compensation was ex gratia and Iran is to blame.

You have not a single proof that the actual people burned in the building murdered somebody. And yet you are cheering for murderers. You are one of the worst kind of people.

ORLY?

The payment of compensation was explicitly characterized by the US as being on an ex gratia basis, and the U.S. denied having any responsibility or liability for what happened.

or that priceless quote of Shrub the senior:

I will never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are!

So you are really cheering for murderers? What exactly makes you better then?

Thirst they claimed that there were no missiles fired that day in first place. Except that it was a complete lie, Ukrainian troops in Crimea were firing anti-aircraft missiles at some target drones that day.

Don't forget the first official reaction of their then-president: "We should not make a tragedy out of matters if it was a mistake. Bigger mistakes have been made."

I don't trust Ukrainian armed forces in this matter. They have a history of shooting down civilian airplanes and then denying everything.

ORLY?

Well, O'Bama is irish, so he probably thinks he can get away with it.

So.
No kids (that I know of). No car either - cycling 15 miles one way to work. My yearly electricity usage is about what an average US home uses - per month.

May I cast the first stone? Pretty please?

I also know small bookshops. They are either on main railway stations and sell crappy bestsellers or - if they are located elsewhere - they sell more hipster apparel than books nowadays.

very much so. and not only that, the hybrids are also fertile. same for endler's livebearers and guppies and sailfin x yucatan mollies. molly and guppy can also interbreed, although it doesn't happen that readily and the offspring is sterile.

To be honest, many Europeans feel the same way: UK should get out of EU. The sooner, the better.

platys and swordtails are different species and they interbreed without any hassle.
