I don't like Lithuanians, I've met some decent ones in my lifetime, but out of the blue my first impression of a Lithuanian is a negative one, and don't give me that blank slate crap, everyone has a bias.

Ha, Estonia, you people proud of what your country has become?
Lithuania and Estonia and Latvia, the Baltics are all much worse off now than when the Soviet Union was around, and I'm not a communist but at least I know when to admit what's the lesser of two evils. |

Why would you want to deny them that? How is it better in Russia? From what I understand, the non Russian ethnic minorities of the former USSR are growing into majorities while the number of ethnic Russians is dwindling. I'm sure that that's not the best for Russians.

I have visited many countries, including much of eastern europe, and former Soviet republics, such as Ukraine, my mother was shocked at how much that country had gone to hell, it's facts, I mean you don't hear me saying how much worse off East Germany is now, because it ain't, but the Baltics states are, look at the suicide rates. |

One thing is for sure: AIDS, glue-sniffing and massive heroin addiction came only after the soviet Union. That is the other side of the medal. Capitalism and liberlism do not set you free - their totalitarian style is more subtle, but equally brutal in the long run.
