My mom's family is Russian, so I feel entitled to criticize my own people. :-P<br /><br />My interactions with Russians have largely not been positive. In Russia, things are very corrupt and it seems that people learn a way of doing things that isn't what we'd call "acceptable." Just off the top of my head I personally know Russian expats who have been convicted of medicare fraud, who have stolen their own child's student loan money, who have started moving companies with the sole purpose of stealing from their clients...Of course one of the most ethical attorneys I know is from Russia and there are plenty of scumbag Americans. But unethical behavior is disproportionately high among Russian immigrants.Fern @ Life on the Balconyhttp://lifeonthebalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-86132514564652735542009-10-09T22:37:28.239-04:002009-10-09T22:37:28.239-04:00The thing that surprises me most is that the repor...The thing that surprises me most is that the reporter actually admitted it!Ellen Zachoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15050574906637976116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-17086445233680293162009-10-09T18:45:07.593-04:002009-10-09T18:45:07.593-04:00I've been dealing with inept, unpleasant, idio...I've been dealing with inept, unpleasant, idiot, carpet installers this week...I feel the same..except more inclined to knock off some heads...BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-78466110024660135842009-10-09T17:15:44.471-04:002009-10-09T17:15:44.471-04:00Oh dear, that was a bad move on their part, to say...Oh dear, that was a bad move on their part, to say the very least.Umāhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680155603317072829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-12688362275966133622009-10-09T15:44:25.513-04:002009-10-09T15:44:25.513-04:00It was theft.And made worse by trying to justify i...It was theft.And made worse by trying to justify it.dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-19963283696356379642009-10-09T15:21:04.603-04:002009-10-09T15:21:04.603-04:00Astonishing.
