I find it very hard to believe that somebody who really lived under communism says that life was better then.

This was life under communism in Romania in the 80's. Food rationed (cooking oil, eggs, flower, sugar, meat, etc) and on top of the rationing people had to stand in line for hours to actually get them. Shops with rows and rows of empty shelves. Electricity and heat rationed in the winter for the public. Political dissidents either in jail or in mental health institutions. Women sent to jail for abortions.

You are such a follower who doesn't even try to understand the meaning. Can't you understand difference between level of life when they had house for free and cheap price foods, when life is expensive now in many places in Romania and they have low salary, when I didn't write they got better life under crazy Ceacescu. Why do you think, when they got freedom after the wall, so many left their country? Because they had a good life? Because they don't like their country? When all WGs tell me Romania is beautiful and Romanians who work with me are so happy to return home for holidays, they even took 5 weeks on last Summer, even they told they didn't make enough money because of covid. A bit like I love to go to climb Zoncolan or Mortirolo or many others, every year for my holidays, motivated by my passion, when most of professionnal racers, even they are under doping, find my spots very difficult and would prefer races avoid Zoncolan and I doubt they will love new Loze. FR. Same like being innocent as long you are not judged guilty, from proves against you.

Romanians I work with tell me they had a better level of life under communism, when life is much more expensive now.

The population was at its peak under the leadership of Nicolae Ceausescu but declined after he was deposed?

When the wall fell, when people were not paid anymore by government, all ex CCCP countries fell in misery, millions of Romanians left to go to Italy, Spain, France where I work with some. DDR was included by Germany. Romanians I work with tell me they had a better level of life under communism, when life is much more expensive now. Hotel room in Mamaia on black sea is 150/200 € , when my best FKK girl, and she was interesting to chat with at this time, told me on end of 2016 , she made 200/300/ month, working in the biggest restaurant of an average town, not so far from Bucharest, not in far deep Moldavian part. Fortunately, she got tips to get a bit more, but she told: I can t live with only this, and she was I think advised to go to brothels and she could buy a new car with her first month earning, but not for her, and when she told me she returned to family for 1 month and I was happy for her, even we just started, meeting only on 2 visits but already 4 rooms, but she was back after only 10 days, angry to have to return so fast she said, she could become angry quite fast, so I answered: why didn't you stay with your family? Because I need money, when she spent her money to buy a car for somebody, also planning to buy kind of business really not for a princess type. They got freedom, and misery, when they had house for free under communism. Different times, different life, but less than half population 30 years after. Also heard from some girls, they lost money trying business, maybe from peste advices.

Strange, ceaucescu made them fuck like rabbits.

Ceausescu banned abortions in the late 60's, that brought a bump in the number of births until mid to late 70's. After 1990 and the post communism economy crash many people were leaving. That was made easy when Romania joined the EU. https://www.oecd.org/countries/roman...ac53150-en.htm.

1. 1 million Romanians living in Italy, 700 k in Germany, more than 600 k in Spain 450 k in UK etc.

Most of the population decline is due to emigration.

When I learned at school in 80's, Romania had 35 millions citizens, but fell to 15 millions in 2000's.

No sport is pure. Sure, the most skill is involved in a sport, the relative importance of doping decreases, but it's still there.

Diving: Ilya Zakharov.

Snowboarding: Matt Hamilton, Nikita Avtaneeve.

Kayaking: Andras Redl, the strange case of Yasuhiro Suzuki and Seiji Komatsu maybe a different type of cheating.

Heck how weird is what is done in paralympics? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-p...0T61VS20151117.

It's not done for money only.

Fine, though your Canadian snowboarder is a Paralympian slalom expert. And the Russian is just a part of a national doping program. I don't feel like those two examples are that great. But there have been rumors of some doping in order to get higher up in the quarter pipe. Then again, maybe that's why quarter pipe is not an Olympic discipline yet.

Saw a video on YouTube a week or two ago from Bucharest regarding the boom in girls on the street trying to make money there. Police and even the minister of labor was defending sex sales even if by law it is illegal.

Don't know what to say to that, but it is what it is.

With their return, I wonder if all of that money earned in the West is now actually being spent in Romania. I keep up with one Romanian WG who seems to have saved up a decent bit of cash from her five years working. She's been home for over a year now and has been living her best life shopping and going out all of the time. If all of the non-WGs who have been abroad for so many years are doing the same, I can see all of that Western money stimulating Romania's retail sector.

Same here with one of my hot, blonde Romies. She's been home for more than a year now, and doesn't look the worse for wear. Always smiling and enjoying life and going with the flow. Good for her.

It must have been a pretty weak school, but I am not surprised in this case. Max Romania population was 23 millions.

Last year an estimated 1. 3 m Romanians went back to Romaniaequivalent to three times the population of its second-biggest city.

Why I'm stronger than professional racers, they need doping, I only need my passion, they are paid, I do just for my pleasure, really moving my flesh inside me. Many not professional racers use doping, when I love mountains fresh water, I feel it cleans inside me, like Trump about covid. Froome was funny when climbing like a motorbike, turning so fast legs. When Toledo eagle, Federico Bahamontes, legendary climber who has his picture on km 4 in Zoncolan 1 hour driving from Wellcum, started, he stopped on top and waited for others, drinking wine which was doping in the past. Doping even came to change part of blood or with horse female plasma. Doping is quite cultural in Italy, Spain, Russia. Look forward starting my Summer, climbing col Iseran 2765 high to warm up, I like funny donkeys under the tunnel before Tignes waterfront.

What is wrong with you man? Do you even understand how dumb this is?

My meaning was about some here claiming about others addiction, when they just know nothing. On this Friday at 3 pm, I was at 3 hours driving from Cleo. Be where have a Romanian beauty target, so easy to go and could even test new engine in Germany, but I only thought I wanted to watch ski and again on Saturday for second slalom when she was just exceptional on both, the shy girl becoming fire on the run. But of course, after Leinzerheide finals on next week and week end, when I will find a beauty, image and behavior on my standard, I will be pleased to enjoy her as long it will be win win for both. This is the only game to spend my money, I don t need more and only one should be even better for me, when I don t find so many anyway, often leaving with full balls. As told me number 2 at Globe, when they used to tell about wow experience before, I prefer when You find a good girl for You, full smiling when hearing I enjoyed a girl, when he often saw me leaving with no room. No big problem for me when I hate to waste my money and I m often very frustrated killing my mood by average. No hurry, all is under control, like with WGs who think I m in love, from my way to treat them they never experienced and proud I drive so many kilometers for them, when working while speeding.

I will never understand what is the reason to test a engine on a open road, today all the cars have enough power to bring you in safety from point A to point be. Strong men don t need strong cars and engines, they are strong. Why not going on circuits like Nurburgring, or participating on car races, why do you think having the right to put other lives on risk?
