You mention poverty, as most westerners do....but what about "state of mind?"

Is your basic point...."that you are a sensitive man?" Stalin was a sensitive man as well.

**********************************************************************************
You've never mentioned these children by name, you never mention a bond, you never mention frienship, you never mention playing, you never mention respect for their strength....

You fed them. Who do you want thanks from? Did they thank you? Is that good enough?

Mentioning poverty is a character flaw? Then Bono of the rock group U2 must be a horrible man because he has dedicated his entire life to feeding the poor.

The state of mind really doesn't matter as long as the stomach growl in pain. Saying that you want to change their "state of mind" is bullcrap. Feed them first!

And once again, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Please read this amazing book. It is the best I have found about Stalin.

Amazon.com: Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar: Simon Sebag Montefiore: Books

He was so sensitive that his wife killed herself at a dinner party because she hated him. He surrounded himself with people like Berea who would pull his car over on a Moscow street and rape the beautiful lady he saw walking by; or turn his dog on her if she fought his advances. And he was a real family man...NOT! Ask the people in Siberian Gulags how sensitive he was. That is the most ridiculous thing ever posted here.

They thank me more than you will ever know. They thank me by getting a hope for their lives. They thank me by not giving up and start wanting to do something great with their talents and abilities. I get appreciated when they actually see themselves in a career and with a family who loves them. When they tell me they will never abandon their children like their mommy did, it is all the reward I need. When they give their life over to God for his guidence and care. They draw pictures and make crafts and give it to us in appreciation. They quit drinking and huffing paint and glue, and start thinking spiritually. That is thanks enough. I don't want medals or a pat on the back. All I really want is the knowledge that my life matters and that I made a difference in this world. That for once in my stupid, selfish life I thought about others more than I thought about myself. And for a brief time I quit bytching about how bad things are in this world and actually did something about it.

And that is good enough!

I'm done answering your questions Nat. You don't get it anyway. I hope someday you will.

Dear Castlestormer:

Thank you for being open and sharing your feelings with us. I do believe that you have done good things in your life, and have helped other people to do the same. I didn't know you are a very religious man.

Somewhere admist your entry you did hit the nail on the head; PAIN. A sincere acknowledgment of everything that ails mankind since that first "cut" [of the umbilical cord).

***********************************************************************************
I have read the book that you've mentioned. Where did you acquire knowledge regarding Beria and dogs, and pulling cars over?
***********************************************************************************
Yes, I assert that Stalin WAS a sensitive man, who became a "man of war." Exactly why Nadia killed herself none of us will never know. We do know that he was very much affected by her death...perhaps that is part of the reason he was bitter and angry [if Hitler wasn't enough reason to be maniacal].

MANY people are responsible for the death of people in the gulags, generals came up with strategic battle plans and civil punishments....papers were signed, orders received & carried out.

You can't blame one person (or one society's blunder)--especially for war.

Let's discuss how today's society affects natural selection....

I was very lucky to have studied Russian language at the University of Texas at Arlington under Rimma Palangian. She lived in Moscow during those days. And the stories she could tell. While a student at Moscow University, they always lived in constant fear of such things. She tells of the day they all met in Red Square to celebrate the death of Stalin. She was afraid to even clap or cheer because she thought it was all a hoax and that he was really still alive; waiting to shoot everyone who was celebrating. The stories this woman could tell.

She worked as a KGB translator to the French Government. I would sit at her house for hours and look at amazing pictures from the "old days" and hear remarkable stories. She and her husband, Jack Palangian always had KGB escorts every where they went. They defected to Morocco in a over night run that cost them everything. Jacks mom was sent to a prison camp in Siberia because they defected.

She had to retire from teaching because of her failing health. I spent her last days just being with her because she had no family. Jack died two years ago. Rimma passed away last year. I was fortunate to have led her to the Lord before she died. She was such a hardened sceptic and a hardcore atheist. Russians are stubborn people. Here is the blog post I did about her.

I miss her still. Do Svidanya Rimmka!

Dear Castlestormer:

I like the numbers; do you have word count as well? You are probably not color-blind.

I'm not sure how I feel about your "name-dropping," I've met people too. Sometimes I think that people remember me more than I remember them. This sometimes is comforting to me, I've made some lasting impressions & memories--I have no children, but I know that I leave something behind.

I'm sorry for your loss. I have lost [out] as well. The pain that I realize is in losing [touch] with the russians in my life. Life has taught me many lessons, and left me bruised. The russians [I've mingled with] took the pain a step further= less emotion and quick intellect during times of stress.

I do not wish to discuss religious beliefs. Thank you for answering part of my series of questions.

How is it that the NKVD had KGB escorts?

That's funny. You ask me how I know about Berea. I tell you. You accuse me of name dropping. Lose/lose with you.

Who said anything about the NKVD? Not me. KGB is now the FSB.

I'm done here.
