[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia is a huge country with literally more landmass than any other country in the world. It spans at least two continents, including both Europe and Asia. Its capital is Moscow, and its population exceeds 140 million [/quote]
And? Is there a point here besides obvious facts I learned in fourth grade?[/quote]

It is impossible to understand the country with an appreciation for what makes it unique[/quote]

You didn't say anything we didn't know. DCUM tends to be highly educated and traveled, and many of us are from Europe, Asia or other parts of the world, where governments educate their kids better than here.

DCUM is in fact short for District of Columbia UM, so this is probably not true and if it is it is just by happened-stance. In any event, the reality is that Russia is a very large country with many people (though a population that is maybe not so commensurate with its geography, which is expansive)[/quote]

Are you stupid? The people who post here skew towards wealthy, educated transplants whose cerebral career choices led them to pitch their tents in or near DC. They're transplants from other parts of the US, and some of them have deep knowledge of other countries, because of their careers and lifestyles; or they're foreign nationals or recent immigrants (equally, if not more, educated), whose jobs have also led them to DC (World Bank, IMF, NIH, contractors for same, etc).

There are very few posters whose families have lived in this area for generations. Practically none. My neighbor is one, but she's also a dual national.

Don't think you're the only person who knows stuff.

I can tell you think you’re social because you’re rich or in the IMF or whatever but the reality is that facts about the size of Russia and its geography can actually be found on Wikipedia or with a quick search on Google.com. [/quote]
