30-08-2015 It looks like beautiful water. The beaches here in Texas vary in quality, depending on the latest oil spill. Is that the Dneiper River, or the Black Sea?And don't worry, Irina, if you are feeling content and happy and healthy today, there is always a day headed your way that takes your health, your youth, your pleasure, your independence, your peace, your money, and your life. So enjoy as best you can, knowing you have so far done the very best thing any single person can do, and this is not make the problem worse by bringing more poor souls into the world. No matter who the person is, they always get at least one free pass from me in life automatically if they are not a parent. It is finally getting below 40 C here in Texas where the water that can be found doesn't feel like a warm piss bath, more reasonable and "cool" at around 37 C! Everyone is talking about how pleasant it is now! 25 C is considered *winter* weather here... |

I haven't checked this time, probably still too much algea in it, typical for August. Also, it's much too cold anyway and I'm much too cautious about swimming in suspicious waters so I passed. Enough with the soft sand, nice air and ... freaking annoying little flies, one even bit me! But all in al, quite an idyllic day. That's Dnipro river. Yeah, I know, that day is sure heading my way lol |

31-08-2015 @Raul ВїHablas espaГ±ol? ВїTienes un interГ©s en el tema de Anti-natalism (no puedo determinar la palabra que significa esto en espaГ±ol, Вїla sabes?) ВїEn tu paГs hay personas que entienden el concepto, yo sГ© a menudo con una gente religiosa, especialmente catГіlica, hay mГЎs hijos que en un paГs con menos religiГіn? |

01-09-2015 Hello.This is Raul. I will write in Spanish. SГ,Kir, antinatalismo es la palabra en espaГ±ol. Con tardanza pena lei acerca del antinatalismo y sus grandes verdades. Paraguay,si bien, tiene muchas iglesias evangГ©licas, la Iglesia CatГіlica tiene una influencia determinante sobre todo en sus Г©lites polГticas y econГіmicas. Hay una generaciГіn mГЎs joven pero socialmente no se ve bien que hombres o mujeres no tengan hijos. Creo que el antinatalismo es sГіlo para una minorГa,especialmente en un paГs como el nuestro. Hace aГ±os se propuso en el congreso paraguayo la legalizaciГіn del aborto pero la jerarquГa catГіlica y los pastores hicieron lobby y lograron matar el proyecto. Para los sacerdotes y pastores es una cuestiГіn de marketing ya que tienen clientela asegurada y por supuesto ellos no van a encargarse de los bebГ©s. Manifestar que traer hijos a este mundo de chiflados es una tragedia puede ocasionarte muchos problemas inclusive perder tu empleo y asegurarte aislamiento social. Gracias por preguntas y muchos Г©xitos,SeГ±or Kirk. |

You gus can speak Spanish in front of me any time, I even understand some))) Here's my fav. antinatalism video in Spanish, I'm sure you all have seen it: |

02-09-2015 ВЎExcelente! I thought it might help Raul feel more comfortable and elicit his experience and ideas from Central or South America to be able to use his native language. I know expressing difficult topics in Spanish for me is nearly impossible, my vocabulary and grammar knowledge is too rudimentary. And I can practice my Spanish, and pardon mis errores! That video, and I saw it once before, is really amazing to me. I am surprised this gentleman was not shot immediately as the ideas stated are absolutely true and to the point and undermine church, government, and business interests, and nobody wants to hear the truth. I have friends who are trying to emigrate from Colombia primarily for the benefit of their son, but it is difficult to obtain a work visa or citizenship to be able to stay here, it is almost an impossible task. Hay algunas palabras, como ВЁchifladosВЁ, que nunca he oГdo antes, mi espaГ±ol es muy bГЎsico, y sГіlo quizas mi pronunciaciГіn sea un poco mejor que un anglohablante por mi abuelo hablaba espaГ±ol cuando yo era joven, mi tatarabuela era de EspaГ±a. TambiГ©n, aquГ en San Antonio, Texas hay mucha gente de MГ©xico y hablan el espaГ±ol Tex-Mex, una mezcla de inglГ©s y espaГ±ol mexicano. Aunque espaГ±ol sea un idioma romГЎntica, comparten raГces a veces con inglГ©s, y con trabajo se puede entender las ideas de vez en cuando. Ver la verdad de la vida es una maldiciГіn a veces, pero con experiencia y el trabajo de pensar eventualmente es fГЎcil ver la verdad en casi todo en el mundo. Con una mente destruido por pensamientos perezosos, como con la gente corriente, Гєltimamente no se puede pensar bien, como con los mГєsculos del cuerpo sin uso. Es una vida solitaria, porque aun con la presencia del otros, todavГa uno es sГіlo. Pero tengo un poco de esperanza por personas como Irina y tu y mГЎs aquГ. Puedo ver que mis ideas son la verdad, a pesar del resto que me rodean. |

02-09-2015 Gran Dama de Ucrania:AsГ que entiendes espaГ±ol. Excelente. En el sur del Paraguay hay una colonia de descendientes ucranianos. TambiГ©n hay descendientes de rusos. Les llamamos rusos blancos porque escaparon de la RevoluciГіn Bolchevique de 1917. En setiembre de 2014 un ucraniano, Igor Protsenko vino al Paraguay escapando del conflicto. Es un filГіlogo y trabaja en una universidad aquГ. Tu paГs sufriГі mucho con los zares, las guerras mundiales, el Holocausto ucraniano,el Holodomor, el terrible dominio de la UniГіn SoviГ©tica, el desastre de Chernobil,inclusive un asesino en serie Anatoli Onoprienko conocido como La Bestia de Zhitomir, el conflicto con la Rusia de Putin y las ambiciones de las potencias occidentales, etc. Y ahora el Presidente de tu paГs aumentГі el poder de fuego del ejГ©rcito con la compra de mГЎs de 400 tanques, 300 vehГculos blindados, toneladas de municiones y equipamiento militar. AquГ escucho por la radio que lo que pasa en Ucrania puede llevarnos a una Tercera Guerra Mundial. Esto es muy triste. MГЎs vГctimas. ВїHacen las mujeres el servicio militar allГ? Te deseo Г©xitos y mucha salud y dinero (toneladas de dinero) y amor (tambiГ©n toneladas). Ese video del escritor colombiano Fernando Vallejos es genial. Г‰l hizo una pelГcula La Virgen de los Sicarios. Nadie quiere leer o escuchar a este hombre iluminado. Г‰stas son algunos lГneas de su libro Peroratas: El CYTOTEC es un remedio para la gastritis, pero entre sus efectos secundarios estГЎ el producirles a las mujeres embarazadas el aborto en las primeras semanas de gestaciГіn. O mejor dicho, el В«miniabortoВ», porque В«abortoВ» no es, no llega a tanto. La lujuria estГЎ bien: el sexo es bueno, despeja la cabeza y alegra el corazГіn. Con lo que sea: con hombre o mujer, perro o quimera. Pero eso sГ, siempre y cuando no estГ© destinado a la reproducciГіn, en cuyo caso ya sГ es pecado. Una mujer embarazada no sГіlo es un atropello a la Г©tica, es un atentado a la estГ©tica. La maternidad degrada a la mujer, la vuelve una vaca. Con perdГіn de mis hermanas las vacas. |

Wow I do understand a lot of written Spanish when I know what the context is))) I am far from being able to compile complex sentences though. And I am really surprised how much you know of Ukrainian history. Did Igor the philologist tell you all that? ¿Hacen las mujeres el servicio militar allí? Te deseo éxitos y mucha salud y dinero (toneladas de dinero) y amor (también toneladas). No, only on the voluntary basis. And thanks for all the wishes! I wish you the same! "Con perdón de mis hermanas las vacas." lol |

02-09-2015 SeГ±or Kirk: No hay problema. El inglГ©s es un idioma complicado. Tengo problemas para pronunciar las vocales. Me cuesta distinguir entre “cut” y “cat”, “jews” and “juice”, “fist” and “feast”, “full” and “fool”,etc. Vi algunas pelГculas sobre Texas, el estado de la Estrella Solitaria. ВїSon Tommy Lee Jones y Matthew McConaughey tejanos? Creo que el acento tejano en inglГ©s es el mГЎs difГcil de entender. Recuerdo a Texas por la pelГcula con Robert Duvall,Jason Patric, Gene Hackman y Matt Damon sobre la captura de GerГіnimo, el jefe indio que se rindiГі y luego enviado a Florida. Dice Duvall en una escena, no recuerdo correctamente, Texans are the lowest form of human life. Muy divertido. ВїY quiГ©n no recuerda el clГЎsico sobre la batalla en el ГЃlamo? Tampoco olvido el asesinato de JFK en Dallas ni al seГ±or George Bush Jr, gobernador y despuГ©s presidente de Estados Unidos. ВїNo se filmГі Breaking Bad en Texas?Como decimos aquГ, que tengas amor, dinero, y salud. |

03-09-2015 @Raul Muy bien, Raul. PronunciaciГіn es difГcil con inglГ©s, pero espaГ±ol a veces, tambien. MГЎs para mГ es el vocabulario y gramГЎtica, diferente que en inglГ©s muchas veces.He encontrado a T. L. Jones dos veces en restaurantes, Г©l vive en San Antonio. SГ, M. McConaughey es de Austin, creo que sГ. El Alamo es uno de cinco misiones en San Antonio de los conquistadores hace 300 aГ±os, mГЎs famoso por la batalla con los Mexicanos. La gente aquГ son una mezcla de varias culturas, pero predominantemente de EspaГ±a y Alemania, como yo. Tengo una pregunta para ti, i.e. ВїOpinas que es posible para propagar el tema de antinatalismo en el mundo, cuando se sabe que normalmente las personas de antinatalismo no tienen hijos? Si sГ, como se puede hacerlo? Es la pregunta mГЎs interesante para mi, propagar una idea que se eliminan. Para mГ, se tiene que eliminar los pensamientos religiosos primero, pero despues de esto, no estoy seguro. |

Wow I do understand a lot of written Spanish when I know what the context is))) Smart and pretty, seriously Irina! Spanish has a lot of shared root words with English, but the grammar is much different. An example: I like the dog. Me gusta el perro (to me (indirect object) it pleases the dog). I want you to tell him about the house. Quiero que le digas sobre la casa (I want (first person present) that to him you tell (second person subjunctive) about the house (feminine noun). But reading it is a good first way to become more accustomed to the syntax and vocabulary. And there are a fair amount of words that will trick you, to be sure. Some that come to mind are embarazada (pregnant), asistir (to attend), ropa (clothing), sopa (soup), molestar (bother). I think I remember seeing on this blog somewhere a trip to Spain that you took. Did you get along well with Russian and English? My Spanish was at a more rudimentary level when I went, and in Barcelona there is Catalan, a strange mix, IMO, of English, Spanish, French, German, I don't know what. |

Smart and pretty, seriously Irina! ;) Well gracias)) An example: I like the dog. Me gusta el perro (to me (indirect object) it pleases the dog). It actually makes sense to me as we have similar structures in Slavic languages. Same with the second example. Of course, tricky words are the fun part! For example, while in Czech 'pozor' means 'attention', in Russian the same word means 'shame' I think I remember seeing on this blog somewhere a trip to Spain that you took. Likewise, when I've been to Barcelona or Palma de Mallorca before that I couldn't say a word in Spanish, and I think the locals in Barcelona hated me for that lol. Those illetarate tourists! Maybethey thought I was a migrant? Now that is reproachable, I agree, when people come and don't bother learning the language. Tourist gotta walk with a map everywhere and look comfused in order to not be confused with migrants, eh? hehehe |

Those illetarate tourists! Maybethey thought I was a migrant? My worst experience was in France. Those people hate non-French people, or maybe just Americans, in general, at least in the major cities. If you are in a long line, when you finally step up to the window they will instantly close it, sit back, and suck on a cigarette to make you wait. Only if you yell at them in French will they open back up. Greece was bad, too. Waiting for a morning ferry at 6am, there was no line, just a mad dash with elbows flying and money thrust at the counter. Completely barbaric. Missed that ferry, had to cool my heels for 12 hours in the hot sun waiting for the next one. Hah, spent one less day and that much less money there, as well! One Greek guy got into a fight with an American tourist. A policeman was called. The American told him that they were uncivilized and acted like children. The policeman told him to apologize to the man and Greece or more than likely go to jail. The American said, "I feel sorry for Greece!" That satisfied everyone, and all of the tourists that had been polite enough to end up without a seat on the ferry smiled, since they understood the English *much* better than the Greek did. |

The American said, "I feel sorry for Greece!" Hahaha good one. Personally, I prefer Chinglish. Always cracks me up. And those are real signs, I'm sure because I've made a few purchases at this Chinese website and this is how they speak English! lols For example, they often call you 'Dear'. Just 'Dear', nothing else. 'Hello dear, Thank you for your purchase.' No wait, the best so far was: "Hi my dear". Once I saw a plus-size dress listed as 'Fashion dress for fat women')))) So Chinglish: lol just Google Chinglish for more |
