Think 27 March 1941 Belgrade, or think about the "hidden weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.

You might also think about "controled" Gavrilo Princip and his lucky shot in Sarajevo!

I met one of the founding members of Radical party in Belgrade last week with doctorate degree in bio-genetics. He claims that English are the arch enemy of Serbia with main justification of Tito being their Free Mason! DSS just wear a tie and scores cheap political points on Kosovo myths.
I don’t see a correlation between this man’s doctorate and his beliefs. He might just be an avid reader of Borislav Pekic.

Well English is my second language as well, and it has nothing to do with it. It has a lot to do with with Semel the Bun and her state of mind though or do you find:

Every smart Serb will be voting for the Radicals in the next election in a protest vote against the English and American hyenas.

normal and acceptable and the Bun is well known for similar outbursts.

For both Hugh and yourself -- personally, I shall never go to London to spit on English people there

Neither shall I for I'm a Serbian.

But I dislike those Brits having no better thing to do in their life then coming to Belgrade (or elsewhere) and spit on the country that warmly welcomed them.

Since when is Kostunica=Srbija?As for the "spitting on your country" part it's where you and I differ for I see it as tough love.

If you ever commented on substantial issues (like for example, atrocities committed in Northern Ireland) I would be happy to continue our discussion

And you don't find the tretment of the mentally ill an important subject?

However, your last couple of comments indeed deserve no comment and rather resemble your state of mind.

Likewise. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:01:34 GMT adam weisphaut http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/ Re: The Hyenas attack yet again.

Your last post really deserves no comment. And as for me, I was only trying to make an allusion to your cynicisms shown above, especially when you invoke on people whose second language is English - typos such as 'loose'. If that is your strongest argument against serious comment, I have nothing further to say. That posting, as well as the one above illustrate more what kind of person you are then anything else.

For both Hugh and yourself -- personally, I shall never go to London to spit on English people there. I can have my views, but in general I do admire Brits (with exceptions) for their traditional values, culture and last but not the least, the sense of humour. My personal heroes are the Trotters brothers. But I dislike those Brits having no better thing to do in their life then coming to Belgrade (or elsewhere) and spit on the country that warmly welcomed them.

A gentlemen will walk but never run. But I am not sure that the true meaning of these words written by the real English gentlemen can get to you.

And for me, this will exhaust my blogging experience in answering to your comments. If you ever commented on substantial issues (like for example, atrocities committed in Northern Ireland) I would be happy to continue our discussion. However, your last couple of comments indeed deserve no comment and rather resemble your state of mind.

With best regards.

...I hope that this was not intended as an insult to Native Americans; all of them (at least the ones that I met) speak English way better than me.

Also, I’m a bit disappointed that you refuse to cooperate in finding a better term for DSS. But I do find your idea about me coming back to Serbia intriguing. With minor corrections though. I tend to think that LDP could use my services better. I don’t think that, with me in their team, a howler like the one with the ‘memo’ could happen. Also, they might pay better. What do you say?

On a completely unrelated note, I would suggest that you do not insist too doggedly on my coming back. If I were you I would leave that to Adam (one good use of him). When he says things like that then he sounds a bit green with envy and nothing more. You know, he is from where he is so…On the other hand, somebody definitely not primitive like you might sound a bit xenophobic. And a bit of anti-globalist (you now, that rant against free flow of skilled labor and such…). ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:38:55 GMT Domazet http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/ Re: ... http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#k109116

Control of the police (and until this year, the justice ministry) means you get to influence which oligarchs have to leave the country in a hurry because there are warrants for their arrest, in this case Bogoljub Karic who, purely by coincidence had formed a political party which was going to take votes from the DSS at the next election. There are many, many, many more examples.

His answer to everything bad that happens is that it is all just the part of the "evil plot to destroy Serbia and its orthodox people". Agencies and NGOs like CNN and MDRI are expected to constantly bring new scandal and shocking "facts" about horrible things that happen to people who don't live in the USA. American media is leading a strong propaganda for life in America and is convincing people that everything outside America sucks and that they should stay in America and not worry cause the Government will take care of (control) their lives. It's classical BigBrotherish thing - desperately trying to save the American (capitalistic) system (similarly to how the Roman Empire tried to save their system). This doesn't only apply to USA but to today's society in whole.
People should spend more time reading George Orwell instead of being shaped by the massive media. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:24:12 GMT jankovicf http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/ Re: The Hyenas attack yet again.

So there's no need for humble me to tell you whom you should have as prime minister, 'cos it's already being done for you. Although if you want my opinion, you should elect Natasa Kandic, because unlike Vojo and the other windbags who talk about international law, that woman has got real balls. She would also improve Serbia's image in the world. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:22:36 GMT Hugh Griffiths http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/ Re: Is that so? http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#k109016 We got nothing to loose while you have to maintain your global insterests.

You have to come up with a much better story than corruption. Sure, everyone is corrupt. And no matter what we do, your nitwit reporters will brand us as corrupt.

The British and the US are number one corrupters historically and currently. Think 27 March 1941 Belgrade, or think about the "hidden weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.

Hugh, take my advice. Ask for redeployment. Perhaps independent Dardania would suit you better, or the post isn't open yet!?

While the Party of International Law go on and on and on about international law and Kosovo, the two best known pictures of their leader are of Vojo brandishing a Kalash down in Kosovo and of watching the bombardment of Sarajevo from Ratko Mladic's positions up on the hill. Strangely enough we heard no mention of international law from Vojo back then, which makes his bleating about the law seem absurdly hollow now.

As for me, I like writing. I am not perfect, but don't go around making up stories about Kosovo to deflect attention from the horrible suffering of children in mental health institutions. This is primitive demagoguery.

You write English like a native, why don't you go back to Serbia, the DSS need more people with English language skills. And some dress-sense advisors

You say: Kostunica, despite his control of the MUP and BIA these past few years got very few votes in the last election.
It's a pure non-sense. What Kostunica's control of MUP and BIA has to do with fair and free elections? What's the matter with you, man?
On the other hand, who gives you the right to say “Slobo” when addressing our former president Slobodan Milosevic? Would you find it proper if I address the British Queen as “Liz” or the French President Nicolas Sarkozy as “Nick”? Your sense of humour is weird, isn’t it?
Of course, you have the right to dislike our Prime Minister Kostunica, or even a member of his cabinet (whom you dare charge for the so-called highway robbery) but I’d beg you to try to discuss serious matters in a decent manner…

I believe that you are working in the interests of the people living in Ar-Ramādī, Al-Baṣrah, Al-Muthannā As-Samāwah, Al-Qādisiyah, Ad-Dīwānīyah, An-Najaf, An-Najaf, As-Sulaymānīyah, As-Sulaymānīyah, Kirkūk Al-Ḥillah, Baghdād, Dahūk, An-Nāṣirīyah, Ba'qūbah, Irbīl, Karbalā, Al-'Amārah, Al-Mawṣil, Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn,and Wasiṭ.

Err. D'ont get me wrong. I am not an Islamist, so no need to alert your pro-active agencies around the world.

Hugh Griffiths

well Domazet, I am all for reactions that contribute to the debate and quite frankly anything is better than this endless Kabuki of non-news that is Kosovo right now. Plus the B92 blog forum is truly unique in that here is the best media outlet in the Balkans hosting so many bloggers capable of arguing better than I in a language is that is more often than not, not their native tongue. So yes, I am happy with negative reactions.

To answer your other question, I don't routinely label foreign political parties as "primitive", but we're talking about the DSS here. They're allied with Velimir Ilic and the party of highway robbery and Suljeman Ugljanin's extended family in the Sandzak, I mean these guys are papac. Are you suggesting we label this unlikely coalition "sophisticated" instead, or "honest" or something? I am open to suggestions.Hugh, I'm really happy that you are really happy with the reactions you get.

Also, thank you for answering my other question. If I understand well, you are labeling DSS as ‘primitive’ due to the lack of better words (I do agree that calling them ‘sophisticated’ and/or ‘honest’ might be a bit of exaggeration)? Well, I don’t know what to say, I’m on a bit of disadvantage here. As you probably noticed, English is my second language and I don’t hold myself to be an expert. But, I still tend to believe that there must be some other term, something between the ‘primitive’ and those alternatives of yours. Take yourself as an example. You can hardly be described as primitive. But you still do not insist that we consider you to be ‘honest’ and/or ‘sophisticated’, do you? So if you could help me to better describe you, I might be able to suggest a better term for DSS. What do you say?

Spot on! To those unhappy with this sentiment, I would say - don't take it personally. I know a lot of adrenaline is produced when you think that your own people could be part of something like this. Try and focus it on doing something positive about things like this! ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:49:08 GMT oldtajmer http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/ Re: UN Ignored Abuse at Kosovo http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#k108774
Talk to any woman who has given birth in this or that country, and you will likely hear of similar treatment. Basically, I think as a society we have a long standing problem with how we treat the 'weak' - i.e. women, children, mental patients, racial and ethnic minorities... ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/#komentari Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:45:16 GMT oldtajmer http://blog.b92.net/text/1555/Vojislav%20Kostunica%2C%20the%20mentally%20ill%20and%20Kosovo/
