The information to reflection about buying the boat in www.bootscenter-bielefeld.de

[Mariner]

I’m not a poor man by all modern measurements. And as it is appropriate for all people of my circle I had an unexpected desire to buy a boat. Let's assume, just for admiration of marvelous landscapes of our lovely capital city – Kiev while sliding on a tempting smooth surface of waters of Dnieper. Having learned from friends that one of the most respected companies in this sphere is an organization named “ARVOR”, I have decided to make the order through its official representative in Germany – «Boots Center» firm, - one well-known businessman tells to “Rezonans”.

The Germans have always been famous for their discipline and reliability. But, probably, these qualities extend exclusively to the people who are proud of calling themselves “the members of the European Union”. How elsewise can be explained the fact that after signing all official documents and paying all accounts the lawful owner has not seen his boat till now. The phrase from a favorite Soviet cartoon film “Winnie-the-Pooh” is recollected: “One hour has passed, and than another hour, and another….”. But time here is not calculated in hours – the term of execution of the German distributor’s obligations has expired long time ago.

Perhaps the proud Aryans have not completely eradicated ideas taken as an ideological basis during WW II, when all other nations were considered as people of the second quality or even not human beings? Is it really the time when just the Ukrainians have to be treated as derelicts and with "devil-may-care" attitude from our close "European" neighbors?

It is not that complicated as it seems – the concept «a man of his word» has lost its inherent meaning in Germany long ago and people are nothing but greedy for gain. And the Bible Commandment "Deceive Not" is left exclusively for those who still believe sincerely that the Lord watches everything.

You are not making much sense. Wild generalizations are always abusive. You are insulting an entire nation. You are out of line.

Mariner (if your truly are, which I doubt, by your tone) - You don't want to see my original answer to this, you wouldn't like it! there again as Vega states you are a little bit out of order! We CAN handle individual critisizm here (some better than others!) but to slag a whole nation because you don't understand that building boats takes time is completely out of order!

If he posts again I'll be even more confused

Mariner,
(1) Drop the racist slurs. That's not appropriate and you will get reamed out big time by several people here if such comments recur.
(2) Please explain just what the heck you are talking about. I see a lot of aimless anti-German rambling and some talk of fraud that somehow has something to do with a boat. I also see a link to.... the exact same thing you posted. If you have a point, please make it.

He put me off by quoting the Bible...
But in fairness we all have our 'racist' weak spots (I can't stand the bloody English).
Time for a long rambling anecdote: Way back wheh I was a lad in the Royal Navy we'd pulled into Kiel for another set of repairs to our 'State of the art super-duper gas-turbined frigate) and a bunch of us seeking a touch of local colour and culture had ended up in a dockside pub. Our CPO was your typical Sarf Londoner who had this 'undying - but simply inherited hatred of the German nation' and began shouting loudly at the top of his voice "Who won the bloody war then..."
Finally a small elderly gentleman turned around and suggested "Shall we make it best of five ?"

I was amused that Winnie-the-Pooh is popular in Ukraine. Whoever would have thought it!

[Bergalia]

Even more disturbing, apparently Robert Burns was one of the USSR's favourite poets...I'm a Scot, and I can't stand the man...

Hey Berg,

Don't think he actually quoted the Bible. Unless its one of the new versions, I've never read that stated that way. I'm a former missionary & minister who should most likely know.

Where do these crackpots come from?

Take care.

What - Missionaries, do you mean....

[timgoz]

I worked with remote coastal and island people in the north. Labrador, Newfoundland, and SE Alaska.

Newfoundland I was mainly in while on my way to the Labrador Coast.

If you could not get there by road, thats where I wanted to be.

Things are changed now. Family obligations, falling off the sobriety wagon, ect...

Take care.

Hey Tim, sounds like that quote from Nineteen Eighty Four: "You are now one of us..."

And only twigging about missionaries. I'm from a Scots Calvanist/High Kirk background. Had a couple of aunts went to the dark continent to spread the word...Not been heard of since. Possibly eaten.Wasn't really fond of them anyway...
