Meanwhile, I asked a Muscovite friend of mine to translate the song Commy linked earlier. This was his response:
Ah, the lyrical poetry of the Russian spirit, and how it doesn’t completely suck balls … No wonder Westerners can’t appreciate its subtleties.
Wasn’t that poet stoned all the time? I guess that’s why Commissar likes him so much–one would have to be stoned to think Communism is the be all and end all of great things.
Engraved? How bourgeois! Actually, that’s the same reaction I get to someone “handwaving”–seems to me to be a bourgeois affectation.
By the way, if anyone wants a rather good view of the island in question, the best I could find was on Google Earth. Simply type “Yeonpyeong” in the search field. I tried using the major Korean online mapping sites and those didn’t show a lot of detail for the island.
Russian uses, like, idioms and metaphor and nuance and junk.
Metaphor? Sounds like commie plot to me!
To be fair, I only speak the language of Twain, Shakespeare and Joyce. Also, I’m a capitalist Imperial. I’m sure that I could never understand a language as glorious as Russian, especially when it’s not sucking balls.
I’m pretty sure those are three seperate languages. 
Youse callin’ him an idiom? Them’s fightin’ woids.
Chaucer and Shakespear were great english writers, Dostoevsky was a great writer, Nietzche was a great writer, Taliesyn, Homer and Ovid were great writers. There are no dumb languages only dumb people.
Nah. Three dialects of English.
Incidentally, I must pursue the truth; after all, is this forum not dedicated towards the worthy goal of eradicating ignorance? If not, please ignore the following:
It appears that the Southern Imperial fellatio-puppets are currently attempting to defuse the volatile situation via good old-fashioned provocation. In other words, the marionettes are presently exercising warfare maneuvers right by the border. I am entirely sure that, were this an exercise in Northern aggression, all you brainwashed cretins would join me in decrying the latest provocation.
I swear you are posting from somewhere in the NK. You sound like a translation of one of their radio broadcasts.
That Christmas tree someone decided to up near the border is the stupidest thing I’ve heard of, though. We’ve made our point; no need to give them the middle finger and dare them to cross the line again.
He’s never been in a communist country, HazelNutCoffee.
Actually, I’m pretty sure North Korean forces do wargames and exercises along the border all the time. We never hear about it, because an internal exercise is none of our damned business.
North Korea just makes themselves look stupid and foolish by making threats all the time.
What I find interesting is the fact that you keep repeating this lie despite being corrected on numerous occasions. But hey, whatever floats your boat. :rolleyes:
Oh, I see. So the big bad North Korean military holds near-border exercises all the time. And, despite it being the most heavily militarized border in the entire world, neither the South Koreans nor their Imperial overlords notice said exercises. Right. Tell me another one.
No, you ignorant sod; the South Korean military and the UN Command obviously do notice those exercises. What they don’t do is launch an attack on North Korea.
And you have yet to correct me. Your stunning ignorance of actual conditions in communist countries belies your pretense.
What Monty said. I guarantee they watch the North Korean exercises very carefully. But they don’t threaten war over them, or call them aggression, or try to hold the position that a military exercise is an overt threat of war, like North Korea constantly does.
