You must be really stupid to say something like this.In which century do you live.I am a Serb.And I’m reaaaally proud of it.I would never change anyhing about my nation.I wouldnt hide it or things like that.so Trevis i cant believe somebady could write something like this.That is so apsurd and its so not like us.WE are not like that.The person who told you that is…i dont know even how to say it.I just cant believe -.-

Just one question: did the Ustase want to ethnically cleanse Serbs out of Croatia? Just answer yes or no. If yes, how are they different from Nazis and racists? And you even talk of human rights? They cooperated with a regime that killed 21 million people. Even Ukrainians and Poles who hated Stalin fought with the allies against the Nazis.

Just because Milosevic and other war criminals was a Serb-supremacist, racist despot doesn’t mean that the group should adopt similar methods in armed resistance.

[quote]…It shows that Serb, at the time of existence of Yugoslavia were not respecting other ethnic group who worked for JAT, basically all flight crew were Serbs, and if you were of other Republic at that time, every step would be taken to have you removed and Serb placed on that position. I remember coming to Canada on JAT flight, and I asked for extra orange, guess what I was told: “there’s no more and rest is for us (flight crew).

I flew with other airlines and received far better service (even flying with Pan Am I got two meals).[/quote]

gave me a good laugh, as did this:

[quote]…Trust me, that’s the fact.[/quote]

And it comes from a former JAT employee when I tell you, good that they did not give you an extra orange, you’ve been a bad, bad boy.

God bless the Internet.

Vesna (goddess of spring in Slavonic folk myths) survived that crash so I can learn NOW (better sooner than never: April, 2008, thanks to the Internet) the ustashas DID that.

The same as they did this >> http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/76dec/brockman.htm

There was no bomb planted on that flight, it was the work of UDBA (Yugoslav Secret Police at that time, and Czechoslovakian Secret Police, (now Czech Republic) to throw a blame on USTASE, Croatian Terrorist Group. It was found that the civilian plane was a direct hit and downed by a Czechoslovakian missile at that time. (They had military exercise going for 2 hours and their airspace was restricted to civilian flights for two hours). If the DC9 aircraft was blown from inside, it would have been broken in more pieces, but since it was a direct hit from outside, it was a clean break in half on impact, therefore it wasn’t a bomb, it was a missile that downed the plane.
On the other hand, if you know enough history of survivial of Croatian civilians, what happened during and after the WWII, what Yugoslav Partisans have done to Croatians, (for example Bleiburg where hundred of thousands of Croatians were murdered by partisan/russian forces) during the Tito’s rule and after his death, Yugoslavia was trying to stay in one piece, but it was the Serbia’s dream of “Supreme Serbia” and to wipe out every ethnic groups at that time: Slovenians, Croatians, Bosnians, Macedonians, Montenegrins and Kosovars to tell them they’re no longer this and that but Serbs), that in effect destroyed Yugoslavia, thus iginiting civil war. It shows that Serb, at the time of existence of Yugoslavia were not respecting other ethnic group who worked for JAT, basically all flight crew were Serbs, and if you were of other Republic at that time, every step would be taken to have you removed and Serb placed on that position. I remember coming to Canada on JAT flight, and I asked for extra orange, guess what I was told: “there’s no more and rest is for us (flight crew).
I flew with other airlines and received far better service (even flying with Pan Am I got two meals).
In closing this, I would say, for example you are a Pole and Serb comes to you and tell you, “hey you.. you are no longer Pole, you are Serb”. would you accept that or refuse? If you refused, guess what would happen.. you’ll get killed for that. Trust me, that’s the fact.
Get your facts straight and read more. Please don’t jump in conclusion that you know more.

Do you mean “schussed”? I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds like something you do when you ski. I’m just a spelling dork, don’t blame me!! : / sorry. I’m a n00b.

Giggle that.

First>> to note cerebulon’s Badder-Meinhoff moment!

Drakvil said: “much more likely than a blood clot (which usually ends up killing tissues downstream from the blockage) is that her paralysis was caused by swelling from the blunt force trauma reducing the circulation in parts of her back and legs, as well as compressing and interfering with the operation of the nerves needed to properly operate the legs. As the tissues heal, the swelling will reduce and the affected tissues can heal and return to their proper function. I don’t think that this was an incident of the brain re-wiring itself, as the damage would most likely not be to the brain itself (or many other things would have stopped working, and probably killed her outright), as the brain cannot rewire the connections out in the body…
Ustashe not terrorist? Military operations are not required to be classified as a terrorist, committing vile acts of violence is sufficient.”

Yep, right on.

“Alan says:”Her skull was broken and hemorrhaging, both of her legs were broken, and she had three crushed vertebrae. paralyzed from the waist down
Later, she underwent surgery that restored movement to her left leg, and a month after that, she regained movement in her right leg. Eventually, she was able to walk again.”

Though not that unusual by todays medical standards; [we have come a long way with the art of repairing spinal injuries following Chris Reeves' accident]; I suppose back then this would have seemed a miracle. I think this gals personal fortitude and sheer determination went a long way towards her recovery, as well as the skilled hands of her surgeons’. I mean, geeze, the gal fell out of the sky, 33,330 feet. Whether she was teathered to a post or free falling, she had literaly tons of other stuff flying and falling all around her, I think the miracle is that she Made it to the ground in one relatively solid piece!
Oh and yeah, House ROCKS! Wouldn’t you just love it if one of the interns hauled off and slapped the crap outta him,I mean, just once? LOL
