It seems to me that since 1989 the Czech people have been moving more toward the west... and I don't think it's because they love the west so much... but they remember communist rule. Younger people do not remember it... so they protest... it's what young people do as a matter of searching for identity.
I have been told by alot of different Czech people (and expatriated Russians living in The Czech Republic) that alot of you refer to Americans as "piggy eyed". What exactly does that description mean? Do you view Americans as stupid or just people with eyes like pigs?

The picture of US people is no good here - generaly. Specialy the last few years its getting worse I think - its that "police of the world " and sticking US nose to others people biz.Also there has been too many proofs that US public oppinion is run by propaganda recently that its hard to believe that USA is still a symbol of free country (and USA used to be a GOD of the free countries for us under red regime) - now it seems to be just nice international biz of US goverment - at least to me.
I got lot of friends and also customers from USA and its like elsewhere - good people but bad people there too.
Also I am not sure that "Carlosthegauco" comments are always true and matching the real situation here - specialy the statements about joining and being a part of EU and the radar equipment - thats really complicated issue.
Regarding your expression "piggy eyed" - never heard of this - we don't use is it in our language - must be some Czech-russians mutation
