Hello everyone, rather than rely on your knowledge of America from the rest of the world why not talk to those of us who live here ? We too despair of the modern American way and would wish our once great nation’s leaders would try; so learn about our people before either taking the piss or getting ready to defame. The world American view is flawed and disadvantageous.

Well, in danish, it’s called København. In english it’s Copenhagen, but tbh I’ve never seen Kobenhavn or Kobenhagen before. That’s just silly ;D

Relax, The idiot Americans who believe your country is nothing but Vodka and Unicycle Bears are the ones you want nothing to do with in the first place. Unfortunately a lot of us get our ideas from nothing but Movies, Which, depending on when they were made, Could have horrible ideas about everywhere else in this world.

Hello everyone, rather than rely upon your knowledge of the world from America why not talk to those of us who live here ? We dispare of the American way and would wish your once great nation would try to learn about a people before either taking the piss or getting ready to invade. The American world view is flawed and dangerous.

“Things that are in Russia, according to non-Russians”

Where have you been, doncha know that anything that refers to non-county-that-isnt-America means America (and, inversely, anything that refers to something that is non-American doesn’t exist)?

like DUH

Nice analogy. French : frogs :: Americans : big things.

Don’t forget Colombians : drug cartels :: Japanese : schoolgirls.

Oh my god russian people are bored of this attitude. I’m russian, I can say it’s funny to see such result. Oh yeah, bears, mafia, commies especially. Hahaha. I strongly advice you to visit Russia at least on 2 weeks and see real life of our country. You’re so annoying, europeans!

Another mistake–it’s Belarus, not Belorussia. We’re in a post-USSR era.

if you write this way “*obenhavn” I’m OK with the “K”
but if you write it this way : “*openhagen” It’s a “C” it is NEVER spelled this way with a K.

Don’t mix stuff

Not if you’ve been there, it isn’t – though Kobenhavn is closer to the danish spelling.

Hi!
My country is not always such. I promise.
We are alive. We understand what is going wrong in our country. And we take the best of world culture, even if we again have to learn a hundred years or two hundred years. We will change the government. We will change the mentality.
In the end, all wins mind.
And the wrong are those who a few years will be to think about bears, and nuclear weapons.
The winner is the understanding.
Unfortunately, I poorly know English, but I’m learning.

Nonsense! 30 years ago would make it but a few years to Perestroyka… which means a decade or two in simple jail were more likely.

40 go for Siberia, 50 is a gamble between the wall and the Gulag.
