To "Rabotiaga":
It's not a prejudice agains people with insufficient education. They could be much brighter than some of those with the highest degrees. I myself almost whole my life was a simple laborer and served as a regular private for 2 years in the Soviet military. It's a prejudice against people like you, who offends national symbols of Ukraine, spits on its language and culture, and hates everything Ukrainian. I learned Russian language and literature for some 10 years in higher school and college and probably know it better then you, "raboriaga". I would rather spend my time learning English or any other more useful language. I would not allow myself to say to any Russian that knowledge of his language doesn't lead me further than Siberia. Your messages in English are quite different from those in Russian. You didn't use such words as "zhri", "salo", etc. By the way, my salo is no comparison to your "shchi". I would rather have 1 kilogram of my "salo" then 10 buckets of your "shchi". For those who don't know - "shchi" is a soup made of cabbage and water, no salo there, sort of national Russian dish. And what about coat of arms, can I mock you on this? Sure I can. What if I tell you that your coat of arms is a "double-headed raven" or even chiken for me. How do you feel? Or, let's say, if I tell you, doesn't matter what kind of "administrator" you are, you could be Yolop Mongolskyi anyway. How is this? As you see, no sophisticated mind is needed for doing such things. There is no end to it. My 1000 year old Trident and your Double-Headed Eagle as well as national colors should be respected. I don't want to lecture you on obvious things. So, culture does matter. Is any exit from this stupidity? What about me learning your language and culture and you learning mine and respecting each other. This is the best way and most people will tell you so.
