FUCK YOU, ESTONIA! What are going to do about it? NOTHING! You can't handle the realness. Just sit there in Estonia and accept it.

Estonians will always find something where we are better than lithuanians. We will create and maintain our own reality-distortion field, if necessary.
Estonians are quite inventive ;)

Lithuania, Fuck Yeah!

[Pure ja]

Estonians are hot blooded southerners in denial.


Um, no.

In indo-european languages vs. baltic-finnic languages:
(indo) melts down = (finnic) melts up
(indo) bad development = goes south = (finnic) goes north (läheb põhja)
For indos, south is down and north is up = indos face north.
For finnics, north is down and south is up = finnics face south.

And that is also one reason why germanics are never true nordics until they get rid of their southern mindset and start to behave like true nordics.

uhm. no.
1)we don't say 'melts down', we say 'tirpti'(melt) or 'istirpsta' (melts away,litr: from-melt).
2) what do you mean by 'bad development'?
3)the 'north vs. south' is just an anglo invention.

south in lithuania, comes from 'pieta' - the time of the day when the sun is highest in the sky.

North is 'šiaurė', in Lithuanian mythology 'šiaurė' means 'the winds of the west', actually.

[Pure ja]

Lithuania will never beat Estonian ice-roads on sea! :D

[Pure ja]

2) what do you mean by 'bad development'?


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=going%20south

1)If we don't get the share-holder on board this expansion deal will be going south.
2)While going to make the drop the laws was near, so the deal was going south.

[Hercus Monte]

you don't even have a Highway, you're not gonna win this battle. ;)

balts don't have an expression like that.

How do you define a highway?

All the more proof that balts used to baltic-finnic :)

We have those.

But does Lithuania have those?

[Hercus Monte]

ours is bigger and better. (btw, via Baltica is not a motorway)

we make them every year.
but does estonia have these? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%ABlgrinda

Again, what is the definition of a motorway?
The largest Estonian one connects Tartu with Tallinn.

You make roads on sea ice every year? For tens of kilometers?
The longest sea ice road from Estonia connected Saaremaa with Lübeck in 1323.




but does estonia have these? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%ABlgrinda

There are some. In remote places.
The first known is from the 4th century AD.

The width of these was usually 2 carts (2,8-3.1 meters).

well no, not in the sea. (remember Klaipeda is an Ice free port)

How much more? Estonia has about 80 identified swamp roads.
Estonia has more swamps, so Lithuania can't have more swamp roads :p

Estonia has more or less of everything :D

quote from wikipedia


kūlgrindas are most often found in the territory of Lithuania, but also in Kaliningrad Oblast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad_Oblast) (former East Prussia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Prussia)), Belarus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus), and Latvia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvia).

quote from wikipedia

So does Lithuania trump 80 Estonian swamp roads?
That 80 identified roads is taken from the same link I gave earlier:

Actually I was thinking more on Steve Jobs. And I don't believe our inventiveness started with the soviets. We need to reinvent ourselves to be able to stay ourselves (and to avoid the dreadful assimilation into indo-europeans).

true, the most admirable people to me are the europeans who have zero or barely nothing of indo-european features, like language or... well like language. ;)

basques and finnics are the true and genuine european survivors, the rest are simply poor assimilated people who lost their true roots millenia ago... like me for example. :(

have you ever used metal?

[B01AB20]

technology is not included in my personal definition of indo-european features.

technology can be achieved or acquired without losing your original language for example, japs or chineses can tell you that.

Yes, and it has many conscious benefits, like not having a problem calling a negro a "neeger". Because, as it has been documented, around 1800 AD. an estonian serf in Livonia cost less than a negro slave in the USA.

Estonians do not have to carry the burden of guilt of being a white indo-european ruler of the world.

And by 1900 AD, close to 100% of estonians were literate. By 1900, Estonians were the most literate nation without their own state, besides Finland (and maybe Scotland). Latvians held the third place.

Well I don't have any problem calling a negro a 'negro' :D or a nigger neither, don't know what happened in Spain in 1800 but I think it's relevant for that matter.

I don't carry any burden of guilt neither, although some people want me to carry it yeah, but man, maybe I'm indo-european... but not stupid.

Hard to beat this I recognize it :cool:, beyond the capacities of spain; we're trading or invaded by 'the civilization' since very early; greeks, romans, the wise moors... no 100% of iberians were illiterate since the end of ice age.
