I am a Croat and very proud of it. I was raised to not have animosity to serbs, however, I do choose to not socialize with them. We are of different cultures.

ha. I missed all this, some how, so I am a Serb and my wife is a Serb? Only Serbs can be critical of Croatia? What a stupid thing to say. You told me that Serbs and Croats are friends now, so why would Serbs hate Croats? What a joke, and as I have said I have met two people from this site, so my location and nationality are not in question. My wife was born in Croatia and lived much of her live in Croatia, therefore she is more of a Croat than you, she is also patriotic but not nationalistic and ignorant like you. English monkey is offensive, but then you are an offensive person. I have been to Serbia three times in my life, I don't know any Serbs, I have no links with Serbia and things there seem even worse than here, so that clears that up. The only person lying about the price of an apartment in Zagreb is you, it is clear that I live in Zagreb, and I can show you many websites with apartments, if you find me one apartment for $200 it must be a complete toilet unfit for a dog. As I have said previously I will take 10. If somebody else lives in Zagreb I am sure they can confirm that you cannot rent an apartment for 1000kunas. So Croatian food is not influenced by Turkish, Italian or Austrian food eh??? lol get over yourself You have answered my posts in other forums have you?? More lies, could you show me these forums, as the only other forum I have ever used is a football forum. Who are the others? I only see you and your multitude of names; I can prove this if you like ;D A friend of mine was renting an old fashioned small apartment in Zagreb, he would never live in such a bad place in England, this apartment was 3 miles from the main square and he paid €600, so stop the lies we all know that there are no apartments for $200 I am yet to see one foreigner who has worked in Croatia for 6 months or more praise the place, unless they have a vested interest to do so, i.e. people who are involved in tourism or selling houses. The simple fact is you have never lived here, and you certainly have never worked here, so you have no idea about real life in Croatia..keep swallowing your propaganda pills and share them around, nobody is fooled. Culchie is obviously a sensible and intelligent person who does not agree with many things I say...which I can understand, but she has you down to a tea. I am certain that you have convicned many people that my views are correct, to an extent that I could never have done. Hvala

I am certain that you have convicned many people that my views are correct, to an extent that I could never have done. Hvala You have know idea where I have lived. I have proved to you in posts, and others have proved to you in posts about rental prices but you insist that you are correct... You know what, I will make your day. You are correct. Apts in zagreb are $2000+ euro's a week... are you happy now. I have Croatian citzenship, more than what you have, you keep saying how croat your wife is... If I have citizenship and she has citizenship PLEASE TELL me how is she more croatian than me? hahahaha. This one is truly puzzling... more croat than a croat with citizenship...hmmm! If she is more croatian than me why does she want to leave.....if your so CROATIAN STAY and quit complaining about everything. Also your friend culchie might be the only one that agree's with you here, he is also english what a surprise! I have nothing against him. You always want to argue. You find a post that was from Jan 17, things have settled down. You pretend that you never saw this post before. What a lie, you DID post a reply to my post but ANNA removed your post. So quit playing like you never saw this old post before. Quit trying to get in my face.... this behaviour is on the brink of being obsessive... It is truly sad you can't talk about something other than me. It is really SAD when my husband has mentioned to me that maybe I should find another forum or change my name on this one because he thinks you might have a problem. What is funny is I did posts under a different member name and you never ever once replied to my posts under a different name. Does that not tell you something EMIZ. LoveU2

Well I always know when it is you u2, and usually I out you, but sometimes I don't.
I don't recall replying to your other thread but one or two have my replies have me removed so that seems feasible. I didn’t check the date either, but the thread was very abusive so deserved the reply it got.
As for your husband suggest you come back under a new name, I am sorry u2, but you have openly admitted to be a nationalist what do you expect? Nationalist is a dirty word like racist and homophobe.
I don't know Culchie anymore than I know you, so it is silly that you suggest somebody is my friend because they disagree with you. This site is about Croatia, not about me versus you.
If you have truly been upset by something I have said on this forum then, I am sorry, upsetting you wont solve anything, but you playing the victim when you attacked me first is a little rich.
From now on I will only respond to the actual words your write, and try to forget who said them.
If I agree with you I will say so, if I disagree I will also say so.
I can't say fairer than that.

Just one thing though........................There are no apartments in the Maksimirska area for $200 ;D.. Finally.... I agree to abide to this post also. You also blamed me for some posts that were definetly not written by me. and I swear on my Grandparents grave, my aunt rents a little studio to a student for around $200usd, the place is small, clean and it cute for a student. I believe, maybe because you are from england, some Croatians might be taking advantage on the rent. They figure you have money. Ask all your Croatian friends how much they pay for rent. Probably alot of your friends live with relatives that have had the house in their family for a long time. I do admit there are some people in zagreb asking for ridiculous amounts of rent but there are alot of people that know that average people just don't have that kind of money to rent. (average income being $600 usd.) It is kind of like the coast.....you have 2 homes in the same area with the same view of the sea, the same footage and yard.... one home will be priced at $400,000 usd while the other home that is similar is priced at $250,000 usd. That is just the sad fact of Croatia...... We are in a big mess, I don't know if we will ever get out of it or maybe we will get worse. All I know is I will be living there.... unless crime gets worse than America, I will stay in Croatia. I have very little family in america...everyone is in Croatia or Scotland, my aunt just moved back from S. Africa. So everyone is home (croatia,scotland & 1 in london). I am willing to put up with the corruption, some over priced products, lack of jobs because over all Croatia is GOOD! LoveU2 P.S. We might not see eye to eye but that is how we learn from each other. When we are civil with each other it is quite pleasant to post. Thankyou

Unbelievable. Is this as good as it gets. I have a house...big freakin deal. I could care less how much an apartment costs in Bol, Zagreb or Minnesota. Yes, Croatian food does have an Italian flare to it. It also has a bit of this and a bit of that, what ever grandma throws in.

Sorry to say, that the anti-Serb feelind is not among a minority, and from before EMIZ was going in the right direction saying how 10 years after a war is pretty soon for wounds to heal. Check out the areas the "great" visionary Tudjman settled, promising jobs and houses galore, at the expense of people chased out of the country. They are actively encouraged to voice their anger at Belgrade as the reason for the lack of energy, not towards the 100 or so families who sold out teh country right after independence.

Are you Irish serb, this is sure starting to sound like a serbian rant! It seems like you are just trying to stir stuff up! This is a old thread. We have moved on....maybe you should too.

Get thee to a nunnery lady or stop following me, if you don't mind. I'm Irish, but most importantly I am a human being who has seen a lifetime of misery in my own land because of idiotic bigots who defined people by their religion or supposed ethnic makeup. Life is for enjoyment, we don't have too much of it, and please, don't label people, its just not nice!

Hey Pacificstar,
Irish, from Dublin originally but in Knin Croatia, though I'm back for 2 weeks and another round of meetings to try get links for local clubs. Fun, in a grinding sort of way. Are you Cro-Irish or one or the other?

irac,
My grandparents are from Crivencia, Croatia. I went last summer to visit my family and to experience their home town. We also stayed in Lovran and enjoyed the Croatian Riveria. My grandparents left Croatia in 1907 before WW1. My Mom's family is from Ireland. They came thru Cananda to America in the early 1800's. I don't know where my relative's are from in Ireland though. I've been to Ireland a few times. Been to Dublin. Great Place! My husband's realtives are from County Cork and Dundalk. Yes, so half Irish and half Croatian. Good combo, huh? I guess I agrue with myself and tell stories all day long!
Are you working on putting in Golf Courses in Croatia? Well as an Irishman you know your golf! Best of everything.
