Russian art is worth a penny ... almost anecdote
 

Artwork by an unknown Russian artist "Three, leaving the farm" sold at auction Christie's (26.11.08) for a record low price - £ 10 ($ 15.40). The original price of paintings was £ 2 thousand ($ 3 thousand), but later fell in more than a hundred times, reports Bloomberg.

Eugene, I was at this auction. Generally, it is quite usual course of an experienced auctioneer: in such a non-standard act he excites additional interest for the auction, and this time it worked, bidding went active.

  Well done, spent £ 2 thousand (on payment to the seller), received advertising in the media for £ 20 thousand, save on advertising .. and the prince could do and give 100 bucks .. joke.

Poaakuratnee, please. I talked with the prince, he reads our forum, incidentally, believes that we have a lot of permits, the west decided to express himself in political correctness.

topic does not belong, but as they tired of political correctness, it's like hints, half-truths polulozh something just can not say, Well all the politically correct!

-?????
tact, tolerance and common courtesy ... any truth can be presented.

Gala is one example where the school will not say that you do not learn or be left behind others, and will tell you that you have achieved outstanding success at zero, so that I would do tact and courtesy are not calling in life situations is "political correctness" is often more hampered, of course, would be better, but it turned out as always ... sometimes reaches absurd ..
hard when instead of answering the "good" or "bad", "yes" or "no" you begin to express himself politically correct, just in case ...
I think that political correctness is something separate (I think Americans invented the concept relatively recently), politeness is politeness (she was always), and refuse to express their views may be tactful and polite, but political correctness is something else, is when you real things are called by other names, "embellish" the reality, so as not to offend.
She remembered the cartoon for adults "amorous crow" when she saw a crow in a forest hare, in love, a hare was very surprised, because far from being beauties in the woods all his "oblique" is called, and the crow looked down and said, "Well what do you braid, eyes are not slanted, but slanted" (politically correct vobschem crow was)

2 Tana:

In general, to communicate with the politically correct man is always pleasant. What verbally, that in writing. Such a man is always attentive, thinking about his interlocutor, and formulates ideas, so that his interlocutor was not unpleasant. As a result, the whole conversation takes place in a calm positive manner. It is possible to argue and ostaivat its position, and thus treat the opponent with sensitivity. This is not just politeness, but orientation to the (possible) companion, taking care of him, trying to present himself in his place: it would have took your words? I'm sorry that we have to pay a little attention - the delicacy in conversation is not considered an important property (though of course these people all love:)

While the politically correct journalism probably boring island where everything is called "a spade" (often abusive:). But it is a matter of taste: I, for example, is always more like reading a neutral text than negatively charged. Harsh words - often the same is not true, as soft. In the life of all people and phenomena are too complex ... and better to err in the good way:))

I apologize for îôôòîï!

All right! Why do I need to call blacks African-Americans, and write "Tallinn"? Still, remember - there are Negroid race, but certainly not Afro-American:) he Negro is a Negro.

Here to recall our conversation with Lavrov, British Millibendom when, after long hours in their mutual political correctness about the truth about events in Yu Ossetia, the Russian had a couple of phrases with obscene language to explain the whole meaning of what is happening to the Englishman. And once everything was clear and understandable. I think that my dear prince has not forgotten the Russian language and uses it as the last argument in the politically correct conversations. And when for ten pounds picture won, but certainly not politically quietly expressed his pleasure:)
And. Half-truths does not happen, but it is true in most cases requires the express language without words-or floor-correctly.

I also think so. If the same complex about the Negro because of what would be called "nigger", that is his problem, not mine.
Question to nowhere: But interestingly, as the politically correct name rosseyskih Blacks ...

Afro Rossiyanin.

Well, let's say African-Muscovite, Afro-Permyak etc. :)

Once in a private conversation heard Prince polyublyaet express himself and not very squeamish to use Russian obscenities! And what's new?
All the same, and all the same!
Only the titled!

Here are reminded of the case, was traveling from the clamp on an excursion to the north of France and after a while I hear a recent ryarov loud conversation on the bus, vodka is poured, the expression of the word "politically incorrect" go, Well, I think we excelled and here .. . so just turned out that this "Russian Parisians", live in France 10-15 years, and this trip for them as nostalgia, to see her, the mother tongue to speak, I must say that all is well constructed, someone private practice , good position, but was drawn to the same ...., and yet on the robot at home, sure, everything is very correct and politically correct.
Yes, I am a courtesy, tact, empathy, attentiveness, but do not need me, if I am wrong or just a fool to praise and say a lot of compliments and praise, just to upset me, because you can gently tell the truth, do not you pull, you should try and etc., and are often praised and admired (and in my heart probably laugh) vobschem all this political correctness just flattery, perhaps, without this hard in politics, but in reality I think it is superfluous to praise the talent, so as not to offend? Well, better to just remain silent.
