America

[saltmummy]

Lunch break. Time to some drawing.

Did you draw a cat hanging there? Really what do you think of Japanese people?

As for America we almost always have a beef, pork, chicken, then fish right beside a section dedicated to fruits and vegetables. The fact is America has many different cultures and in our populated places you can find a grocery store just about every culture.

H-Mart located in many populated places across America. One is about 5-10 miles from Deepsixxed.

I know of two British grocers, and Indian grocer, Muslim grocer, and a Chinese grocer within 5 miles of me.. I am not sure if this exists in other countries but I am willing to bet it is not as frequent. The beauty of America is that in populated areas we are very diverse.

Ukrainian market in the next town over from where I live. I used to go there to get food that was not in fact Ukrainian, but was actually from india, china, and japan. The actual ukrainian stuff was kept behind a counter in the produce section and it was mostly sausages, cheeses, and dried fish. I used to go there to get squid jerky, those little plastic thimbles of jello, and tea. Oh and ukrainian dry sausage.

Ah, sorry, i've jumped it completely.
Yes, we have multicultural stores and i'm used to go there, usually just next an area with many dudes of that culture. (they simply open a store of the things they need and we enjoy it as a conseguence XD)

America is land of freedom of sales/trade too.

I'm reminded of a favorite story...

Someone in Russia went to market and got the hand-outs they were entitled too...and fixed a fair meal.

That same couple came to America and walked into our grocery store... and fell to their knees and cried at the sheer volume of food up for sale.

You are thinking of this event:

I was browsing the web randomly in search of a non-usa news to see how others talk about that episode, but i then derailed. I've ended up googling "Economy of Urss 1982" and found the standard wiki page in ita.

The first line is (translated) "Economy of the Soviet Union was the 2th biggest economy from 1945 to 1991. Based on (omissis technical details) it have been the bigger form of social economy in modern age. (and then details)"

I then switched to Eng and i found a bit of differences in the attitude of the english wiki page.

"The economy of the Soviet Union was based on a system of state ownership of the means of production, collective farming, industrial manufacturing and centralized administrative planning."

I was wondering if english pages are always so cold talking about history. Is quite common to start a text with an evidence of what's relevant of that argument (and usually, how big it was is relevant).
To know if is not common to have this mood in ensligh history pages, i searched Economy system United States. But then i found this.

"The United States is the world's largest national economy in nominal terms and second largest according to purchasing power parity (PPP), representing 22% of nominal global GDP and...(etc)"

With a smile on my face about how the world will never change, i go to sleep.
There is not thing such freedom of speech, when what we speech is a collection of informations we got from others.
Afterall, not me or you can know the reason behind this difference in the same text. Is the italian version "too much soft" or the english version "too much cold"?
Whatever. We have not tools to know that and that's why we can't use our freedom in the proper way.

Good night.

I remember my history lessons being straight to the point without much of the "***** about" involved in building a "mood." It wasn't flowery, it wasn't "soft" or "hard." It was just lessons. "This is how it works" basically. If you compare the two lines you cited, you'll find the english entry is simple and easy to understand. The point of the line is to inform with as much detail in a single line. In the non-english line, you have omitted several parts of it. In the english line, you had no need to omit anything as the information required was provided with no opinions or frills. It is up to the individual to look for all the information and then form an opinion based on what they find and what they believe. Opinion and belief have nothing to do with actual events/systems though, just the way you think of them.

I also like how it's just meow and flame in here arguing, me or someone else occasionally making some small quip, and everyone else just staying far away.

Wall of text are a sort of scarecrows for many people. Plus, the argument is scary and stressing by himself. Also, mine's are often a bit messy, so they toke quite a bit of concentration to be read.
I think these are just a few of the reasons why almost none post here.
I think, though, that this is just how it's supposed to be. XDD

Anyway, mummy, the "how much big it have been in history" is not that much of an opinion. The reason why is relevant how big it was, is because this creates influences to other countries in the same age. That's a fact that point out how much important is that argument.
So both USA and Russia are enough big to be of primary importance. I would expect the same treatment for both, especially in the same language.
I would not notice it if it's a difference between languages. That could be the translation or the different standard.
