Re: AN EVENING WITH TIMO IN ITALY
Interesting. Probably this is a "protosetlist" of future RR gigs.

Re: In Memoriam: Solzhenitsyn passes away at 89
It`s a pity, but Solzhenitsyn was buried in presence only of his family and closest friends. It`s pitful because it was not a wish of his family. Simply nobody else came. This is how we say farewell to the lords of our minds. I don't know why, but I don't give a f*cking shit about this guy... :D The...

Re: South Ossetia conflict
hate to see things like this happening- Slavs should not be killing fellow Slavs. (What happened to the sense of brotherhood that they supposedly share, i.e., the common ties between Russians and Serbs, for example? Unfortunately the ties became too weak after so many years of independence. And, of...

Re: South Ossetia conflict
The Russians are very good at searching for someone guilty in their troubles - it can be Jews, Georgians, Putin, Yeltsin, America or aliens, it doesn't matter much, someone always has to be guilty in Russia's trouble. The extreme levels of xenophobia in Russia is not something new or surprising ......

Re: South Ossetia conflict
The latest news - Georgia doesn`t let 16 Russian citizens (tourists) to leave it`s territory. A very dangerous decision, because it can damage Georgians in Russia and even cause massacres. I remember the previous anti-Georgian information campaign two years ago. That time it was not lucky to be a Ge...

Re: South Ossetia conflict
I suppose unfortunately they are doing just the same that NATO is doing in Afghanistan, Iraq and had been doing in Jugoslavia. Maybe, but it doesn't explain what are Russian troops doing in Georgia.

Re: Timo Kotipelto: We will continue
Another piece of good news. It is promising since it comes from TK. Maybe in a band, Philosophy = Message they try to give. Tolkki's message was freedom peace and all that stuff. Yes, Tk's lyrics are good, but they are kind of different from strato, Maybe Tolkki was trying to keep strato's messages?...

You have a counter-argument? Not listed among Tolkki`s smooth wordings? No and I don't care to have one before I know more about this. Also, talking smoothly doesn't always equal lying. Not always, but very often. A classical method, I`d say. So I am trying to find out basing on the information I h...
