Guest rawmvp Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Eh. It's more fun to watch him try to parse "Natalie's" reference to an organisation which was disbanded over a decade ago. I know half a dozen people who really were in the KGB when it was still around, as Russia is my main area. Not one refers to the FSB as the KGB - nor do ordinary people in Vladivostok, Moscow, St Petersburg, Korsakovskiy, or Nizhni Novgorod, nor any of the other places I've visited. The KGB was actually something that was a part of their lives, not some convenient prop for a bullshit online fantasy involving a beautiful virgin nymphomaniac ballerina who, if she were real, would appear to be severely impaired in her taste in males (I'd say "men," but that would be inaccurate). Whether they remember it with hatred or whether they're still loyal to its memory, no one - neither intelligence professionals nor ordinary citizens - brings up the KGB casually as a cultural reference, or calls its current incarnation by its old name. For them, real memories exist of it and its activities, and they aren't lightly recalled. I don't feel like lecturing a teenager about its very real breakup or the compartmentalisation of its functions into half a dozen different services or the purge of a lot of old directorate heads (especially those responsible for internal security and protection), or the fact that the idea of an actual intelligence agent targeting his friend's son's ex-girlfriend's wannabe boyfriend is fucking ridiculous. No doubt he'd feel compelled to defend himself by dragging out another "Well, duh" article which can't spell Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti correctly. Google is, after all, the first refuge of the liars and the ignorant. Put yourself in Natalie's position. You're currently 19 years old. You came to this country when you were 9. Don't you think it's feasible to assume that she's become Americanized to the point where the KGB -- an inherent part of the Russian culture in all its wretchedness or glory -- can be ruminated with ease, as opposed to something that's shunned? I can imagine a current Russian citizen not readily referring to the KGB or NSB, because, in essence, it has become an ingrained part of the Russian culture; it is analagous to perhaps commercialism in this country. The ubiquity, of commercialism or capitalism, for instance, has become a constitutent of the lense(s) by which we view our surroundings; and, because of this, commercialism and capitalism aren't broached too often. The KGB or NSB, likewise, assuming that it is a static component of the Russian culture, is/was so pervasive that the people of Russia -- the ones who were continuously exposed to it -- looked past it, at least according to you. This is akin to the expression, "the last thing a fish will notice is the water" I'm supposing that -- in accordance with what you said -- the water in the aformentioned scenario can be likened to the KGB or NSB. Again, it goes back to my main point of contention: isn't it likely -- or even ineluctable -- that Natalie's cultural lenses, now that she's been acculturated here, has changed to the point where she can recount the KGB or NSB with ease, unlike her parents? Yeah, I know. A beautiful virgin nymphmaniac ballerina, I initially thought, was too good to be true. But do you know what? Good and true, in this sense, aren't mutually exclusive; they're mutually inclusive. And dude, there's no need to be jealous of my beautiful virgin nymphomaniac ballerina. Be happy for my good fortune, because girls like these are hard to find. Really hard to find. Ok, really, really hard to find. And I found her! Isn't that amazing? I defied the impossible! And how can you say she has bad taste in men? Do you know MY attributes? I think not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is quite amusing seeing him try and explain the plot holes in his story though. And I agree on that Kylie pic.. Holy crap. I wonder if that's what Natalie looks like. I wanna see a picture of her.
