Friendly answers :)

Hi! Well, I am open to any questions as long as I have some time to answer them (I do have some time now :)) I have actually finished a Bachelor's in European Studies and have some interest in the field. I consider myself to be a follower of Europeanism and a Euro optimist, so to speak. That is why I, naturally, support my country's deeper integration into the Union. The same goes for the much needed Schengen accession. I do, however, fear that Bulgaria is hardly ready for the former (for sure) and probably for the latter, as well. I also consider my country's EU accession a bit premature, given its economic and political development at the time. It certainly was a good move from a macro-political perspective, but I just don't think things should be rushed like that. I am really happy with the accession and everything, though. Also I feel pretty optimistic about Schengen and not so for the Eurozone. Thank God, we have to wait 3 years at least prior to accession. This might as well be enough time for one or two necessary reforms and help us avoid any economic downfall. Well, that's about it on this topic. Feel free to ask anything you wish :) Cheers, --Laveol 11:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Umm, where should I start, then? From last to first. The so-called Demographic crisis is irreversible, in my opinion. Social policies in the country are not helping. Nor is economic development, for the matter. It is pretty much the same in most European countries, even such where there are actual conditions for reversing the tendency. The recent census just showed what everybody already knew - the population is declining rapidly and this is especially so for Bulgarians (less so for ethnic Turks within the country and probably the contrary for Roma people). The only thing that could turn it is immigration. And I do not expect any influx of people willing to live here (apart from retired Brits and Germans), while Bulgarian youths will be more and more attracted to study and subsequently work and live in the States or Western Europe. And this is not because of the situation here, but because of the easier access to the West. Min you, I'm not saying things here are bad. They are getting better with time, but there is only some level of "betterness" they could get to. And I do quite enjoy it here. Most of the time :)

As for the Cyrillic. There have been voices that we should change to Latin, but to be fair, those voices were weak and did not last for long. I do not think we will give up on it in the near future, however. Yes, kids do tend to use the Latin when writing (especially on the net), but at a certain age most of them suddenly start defending Cyrillic by all means. You will hardly stumble on a Bulgarian forum on the net which lacks a rule like "Writing in any other script than Cyrillic is strictly forbidden". Moreover, we do bolster as the inventors of the script. Giving up on it you might as well throw your identity out of the window, they say. There is also a lot of nationalism into this, but it, too, seems to be on the decline. My feeling is that most people simply like Cyrillic. We have a certain nostalgic feeling for it, me included. I enjoy writing it and that's pretty much it. We do need a better Romanization system, though. The current one is somewhat sucky :D --Laveol 12:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi smart30, and thank you for your warm and welcoming note. And especially thank you for your offer of help. I'm sure I will take advantage of that. I am very enthusiastic about Misplaced Pages, and want to help however I can. With best wishesBeecher70 (talk) 02:02, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Arab Spring map

Your map of the Arab Spring still includes the Island of Rhodes as part of Turkey. --Smart (talk) 03:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I was unaware the map is still being used. I will update it at my soonest convenience. Technically as Greece and Spain are listed under "impact", Rhodes will be represented in dark grey anyway after my revision. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. -Kudzu1 (talk) 04:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps, but Rhodes had no protests. I'm a Rhodian independence supporter. Ha :) --Smart (talk) 04:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Republican presidential debate

Hi Smart30, I can't seem to find a source for the November 12th CBS debate you added, where did you find it? Thanks, NYyankees51 (talk) 14:16, 24 October 2011 (UTC) Never mind, I see the talk page. But I don't think that's a reliable enough source so I'm going to go ahead and remove it until we get better sources. NYyankees51 (talk) 14:19, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm moving the discussion to the article talk. NYyankees51 (talk) 17:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
