| This is the same as saying that Russians are wild boars who only care about vodka, stupid wars, money and women. Source: Dostoyevsky |

It would be stupid to argue that every single Russian is exactly like that. But at the same time you'll find those traits exhibited in a lot of Russians at various levels of seriousness. Being bigoted is also pretending that tribes/cultures do not share patterns and behavior.
Individuals are unique, but they exist as part of a group. When you talk about the group, you necessarily need to make shortcuts and synthesize. I'm pretty sure that when you talk about dogs, you'll attribute specific behaviors to specific races. But now it is not politically correct to think humans are the same, even though it is scientifically provable. |

| > The EU was supposed to bring countries together, but I think it did quite the contrary What are some concrete examples of how Europeans countries are now further away from each other, since the start of EU and because of EU? As someone who enjoyed the ability of freely moving across the continent to find a country I'm actually comfortable living in, it's hard for me to imagine EU made countries more distant to each other, but I'm not all-seeing and would love to understand more from another perspective. |

As developers we tend to think alike worldwide. But walk out the door and ask ten (older) German people whether they would prefer to use government email-like service instead of paper mails, and see what answer comes to the top. | |
