Your view about Lithuanians and Lithuania?

[lI]

Everyone's being oh-so-very-nice and voting for the politically correct option: "Great people, I love and respect their culture and history" - how boring...

I would much prefer to be infamous as a winter-nigger and a swamp-monkey, it just sounds so... savagely romantic & fitting for our "most mesolithic of them all" background :naughty2:

I voted 'meh', like a true Lithuanian would. I much prefer Iceland and their exquisite blu-ray players.

I could choose the option swamp dwellers or something along the lines. But swamp monkeys and winter niggers? I would be hesistant as some Lithuanians, who don't know me, could not have understood my sense of humour.

I would vote for stoats.

filthy beasts, one of them used to live in the roof of my grandmothers house. It even killed and ate her cat.

Strange Russians with big identity crisis, they even think they are not Russians. Other than that the lack of culture is striking, apparently Russian invasion and occupation finished that off. They are also big fans of live role playing events, where they dress-up to fake folk-costumes they've made up during the Soviet occupation. Those are the positive things that come to my mind. On the negative side they are pretty annoying bunch as they come to Finland/Western Europe for committing petty crime (stealing fuel from cars, burglary etc). If there would be Schengen-area nuisance-o-meter they would score second only to Bulgarians and Romanians. Having said that I'm pretty indifferent towards them, they don't even play ice hockey.

I see Hweinlant still hasn't got over his jealousy after he became aware of the lovely authentic folk songs, dresses and customs that we've preserved since the times immemorial

Hush, hush, Hwein, it's alright, you're all-so-Western, rich and modern - you don't need all that archaic shit, just calm down.

Humour's only worth something when it's crass

Which reminds me...

...after you picked up an argument in another topic on an even place.

There's this saying we have: "two Lithuanians can make up an argument with each other on an even place" - it's like the favorite national pastime - being crass and picking arguments over nothing.

I would vote for stoats.

Oh, c'mon! Crass we may be but certainly not sneaky!

I'd vote for bears. Well, "swamp monkeys" - pretty much the same thing...

Lithuania annexed Memel/Klaipėda.

Klaipėda region was predominantly ethnically Lithuanian anyway. If Lithuania hadn't gotten it back then, that region would have later met the same destiny as the surroundings of Konningsberg did where the local population was genocided by the Soviet army.

I love the fact they are very paganistic. In the rest "I hate them, bunch of Swamp apes and winter n****s" (joke)

[Hercus Monte]

badass in other words

yes, much like forsai are.

I'd vote for bears. Well, "swamp monkeys" - pretty much the same thing (gorillas), no?

"swamp monkeys": swamp - because that's basically what Lithuania is.
and monkey's - because we're archaic(underdeveloped, primitive primates).

They have been very Christian, who preserved pagan traditions. Belarusians were not less pagan than them. The difference was that we were converted to Christianity earlier. However, northern Belarus remained pagan for a long time even after Christianity. Belarusians had a pagan healthen in the centre of Minsk survived till early 20th century . It was consisted of Oak tree, large stone and sacred fire with an elder. People were coming to the stone. The heathen was destroyed in preparation for the anverasary of Christianity in Belarus. Commies arrested the son of the elder who continued pagan practices in the 20s. The sacred stone is held the museum of stones now.

During soviet era many sacred stones were removed or exploded. Some old timers say villagers continued coming to the stones.

I compiled a small collection of the pictures of the stones found in Belarus http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...=1#post1941286
