If they don't want people to stay abroad, create jobs at home...

...and in the meantime, mebbe Hungary and the UK can talk about citizenship and immigration and all. Hungary doesn't want people to go and (if I'm not mistaken and I totally could be) the UK doesn't want people to come in. If people want to go for wages, maybe just make it so it has to be temporary or something. The university shit is...well, shit.

Oh I totally realize that plan is...ambitious. I'm just suggesting other ways to tackle the same problems. Not knowing too much about Hungary, it probably doesn't gel with reality.

I've actually got a Hungarian living in another room of this house — he's not the first.

Bulgarian explosives decomissioning plant explodes, killing 15.

Is it sad that my first thought was sabotage, given the upcoming elections?

It's Bulgaria, not Pakistan. I think that Hanlon's razor applies.

I guess it also helps that the opposition is already bound to win the election.

"We're not the socialists."

The current government was in power only a year, and came IN to power for much the same reason these guys are about to come back.

Heard that Russia wants to ban gas and oil export to anyone who sells it to any country that owes Gazprom money. In Ukraine's context, those would be Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.

Idiots don't seem to realize that banning half of the market won't cause the other half to buy the excess. They're shooting themselves in the foot with this.

Doesn't quite work like that. Eventually those giving excess gas to Ukraine will need to buy more gas. Even if they get it from unbanned countries, eventually the difference would have to be made up for. Europe just happens to be lucky this year in that it was warm enough to have such excess.

Europe can always turn to alternative energy sources/partners, if worse comes to worst.

Oh, and he also did some frivolous cosmetic changes to the constitution like making the text begin with "God Bless The Hungarians". Did any other PM in European history ever did that?
Yes, ours. Why do you ask? Poland also ignored the results of a referendum that opposed harsher abortion laws by a narrow margin, because, as the line in a local song says, "Do you know who runs this town? The bishop and the commissioner!"

Also, like Cicero, I believe that Russia should be destroyed.

Also, Rome at the time was more powerful than Carthage. Russia is far too large and powerful to ever go away.

"Teaching boys to clean after themselves makes them gay." So sayeth a local archbishop (well, to put it in the simplest way possible, there's enough doublespeak in his bullshit to make a Soviet agitprop officer blush).

No wonder I hate those bastards.

What does "to clean after themselves" even mean, in this context? Like, have shower? Or it is used metaphorically?

[up][up] No, like, you know, make a mess, throw your toys around, leave dirty dishes in the sink, don't clean up after yourself, it's a woman's job to clean up.

Also, the rightards are foaming at the mouths after a gay Polish man got an immigration visa to the US so he can live with his partner there.

Seems like they just gave kids a pretty neat excuse to tell their moms, if they ever ask them to clean-up their room. tongue
