Hi, pals ;)


Thank you for the support you gave me after my last journal :hug:

Honestly, I have one more question, which came to my mind today, when I saw that one anonymous person said, that people should rather believe to persons from UK or from US than to me, because I am just from “freakin Slovakia“.  (Please, it is my intention to NOT name this person, because I want this issue to be over, ok? :D).

As you might know, I am not from Slovakia, I am from the Czech republic, which is a neighbor state of Slovakia. It is a little and MODERN democratic country in the heart of Europe, which unfortunately used to be behind the Iron curtain before the end of Communist rule in Europe. But the Czech republic recovered economically quite quickly and it is now very loyal and respected ally and partner of Western countries.

Ok, following this, I would like to ask you one question and I please those, whose, who decide to answer, to be honest: has ever come to your mind, that me and other people from Central (or Eastern) Europe are something... less? Maybe it is not the right word. Just that their opinion can not be equal to the opinion of the Americans or the Britons?

I can start and make it easier a bit, because me myself sometime have those thoughts, because Czech republic is really modern and relatively rich country, so most world’s states are poor compared to the Czech republic. So sometime I think something like “haha, stop kidding you poor creature from XY“. But then I am immediately ashamed for so embarrassing thoughts and I stop myself :blushes:

I just wonder if something like “well, he/she is just from some (freakin?) Czech republic /  Eastern Europe“ ever came to your mind... :blushes:
I know that it is stupid question, but it somehow interests me.

I think that dA is a perfect place for such discussion, because here, the art should be the most important thing, not race of nationality. I was very surprised when I was told that people should not trust me as much as to the Americans just because of my home country :D  but maybe it is more common opinion...?

Please, do not feel attacked or offended by this question - I am just... curious ;) I study university related to social science, so I am into those issues ;D I do not want to hurt or offend anybody, ok? :hug:

Thanks to everybody who decides to answer honestly :hug:




And I can say only three words  about the today’s pictures: I AM JEALOUS.
Desperation from this terrible heat made me post photos of arctic wolves on snow. If only there was a bit lower temperature! :( I do not remember such heat...






















I am happy to announce, that my best friend Allerlei managed to occupy the top of the popular deviations list for all the day for the first time :aww: I am proud of you, pal, congratulation :hug: it was very nice to see you on the top, you totally deserve it! :hug:

i loved those wolves, they make me right now even more calm ^^
Less? I don't think anyone is less, or their opinion matters less, or that they are not as credible or important because they're not from Britain or America... I do feel like a lot of the countries that was on the East side of the iron curtain are kind of behind? that they're still struggling and they don't get on the news much... which maybe why they seem less important
i have a friend.. well at least somebody i know from school who was Czech, so for me Czech is like an awesome place. I've also heard Czech Republic is the most forward nation in human rights... that's what i heard :P but i really like Czech Republic actually, although i've never been there.
Can I ask you a question? In Czech Republic, does life still have a lot of shadows from the Cold War/ Communist past? This just came to my mind
