Easter
Lordus:
Nice discusion :)
Few facts: In former Czechoslovakia (now Czech rep. and Slovakia) is tradition of easters very close linked to "pomlazka" tradition. We had in 1920 (2 years after establishment of republic) very modern (even in present scale) constitution that, among other things, granted same rights and freedoms to men and women. I.e.: women had same suffrage like men in year 1920. So in same year like USA. Many years before France, Italy, Switzerland and other developed countries. (Dont make off topics about between WWI and WWII and universal sufrage, it is complicated, i know.).
So our positive aproach to women has a tradition in our country too.
The origins of "pomlazka" tradition is combination of heretic and christian tradition. The particular "offensive" act using wand of willow twigs is to prevent by whipping the girls their aging. Simply, willows grows near water, so they have, symbolically power to prevent dry of women beauty.
The act of whipping is not painless, it is like pinch, but very temporary. Sometimes girls steals pomlazka and counter attacks, it is funny. Pomlazka tradition is strictly limited, so after noon, men cant whip and girls have right to pour men by water. But because of selfdorm (historicaly), where people were prohibited to move from land of their master, there is a lot of variants of this tradition. I.e. in city of TelĨ, women has right to "whip" men every leap-year.

Bring moar Hololasima!

And you do know shit about Europe ? It makes me giggle everytime I read how offended you are when someone mentions your country (or Latin America) in a bad way.

You didn't remain silent when some of us spoke against the pomlazka tradition. What would have happened if we made comments as offensive as "By the way, what is traditon in your country? Drug cartels?" or "Their tradition is to loose the Falkland war with British Empire"?
By the way Lordus, your last post was really interesting to read, I honestly don't know why you had to ruin it with that last sentence, which was really offensive.
But Sarakin, to answer your question, I am offended because it seems you people think it's totally all right that you make jokes about Latin American nations. I mean, I spoke against your tradition, same way most of the Western world speaks against Arabian traditions. If an European speaks against the Arabs' traditions it's ok, but if a Latin American speaks against an European tradition, he is a fag who never gets laid?
If I speak in a bad way about one of your traditions, I'm an asshole, but if you speak bad about my country and make jokes about our history, it's funny that I feel offended?

I find black people whiny, even more whiny than the people on this thread and forum. They should stop whining in reference to the slavery years, of which none alive today are even affiliated with.
Asian is the future.
Latinos/hispanics and their countries are... not the future.
Like gingers, russians have no souls.
75% of Americans have the fat disease.
Don't even get me into religious matters... :-X
