Ah balkans , place where we produce more history than we can consume.For me balkans governments are like puppet governments for big western states(EU and USA) or big eastern states(Russia and China).There is no in between.If there is someone from balkan here we can talk about our countries.Also people from other countries can give their opinion what they think about this region and their people.

^^^ The funny thing about this is, in the USA, our foundational documents say that we a self-governing people. Are you a self-governing person? YES!... except if somebody else tells you how many breaths of air you can take each minute, or what socks to wear today, and when to use the restroom, or that you MUST live in this apartment or that apartment, and that you can never go off into the woods and live there, and all kinds of basic things in your life... like in prison.

You are the one who dictates much of how you live... not the government, although they do dictate a few basic limits.

I agree that i am new but i want foreigners and people for balkan to talk about politics hardcore here :D.I am from Serbia and here government sold 30% of the land to foreign companies,slowly but surely we are transforming into cheap labor who works for 250 to 300 euros.

@BADecker You are right, but try not to pay bills for around two months and than see does government really dont own you or your house "D

Lot's of people live in the woods here, and don't have government bills, or any other bills. Rather, they get paid by government... Social Security for example. Of course it isn't very much, and government workers who process the funds get paid way more for doing the processing.

It is to my benefit to have a few bills. I get more out of government and other places than those who live in the woods. But I am contemplating the woods thing very seriously.

Maybe it would be difficult or impossible for you to do this in your area. But consider. One of the best places to live is the woods around Chernobyl in the Ukraine. Some of the original inhabitants of the area, who wouldn't leave after the disaster, are still alive there, though most of them have died of radiation poisoning or old age. Some of them live just across the border in Belarus where they can't be harassed by Ukrainian officials as easily.

The point is, you could live in the woods if you wanted to... freedom?

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately i cant live in woods...For me freedom is not paying any bills and living in the mountain or woods,making myself my own food and drinking water from clean rivers.Almost all of our forest are sold to foreigners(actually not forest but land where forest is).Ukraine is actually quite interesting place cause everyone thinks its radiated but in reality its not that bad :D.I love Russia bcuz there is so much free space particularly in Siberia.
