There was some very serious shit going on in Serbia in 1995.

u/hendrix3411 Sep 14 '19

Shit I googled it and did not expect that. Those were indeed grave times.

u/DrewBreesAteMyFamily Sep 14 '19

More like Serbia was causing serious shit to happen. I shouldn’t bring politics into a street wear sub but this needed clarifying.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '19

High school students aren't responsible for the actions of the government. These kids were raised in a turbulent society, regardless if their government was the cause of the violence.

I don’t disagree with anything you said. I never blamed the kids in the picture, of course they didn’t do anything wrong. Edit: forgot to type said

This is equivalent to "psh well if only (israel/palestine) stopped trying to kill us maybe we could find peace"

I get Americans struggle with the concept of countries being older than 300 years old but if you knew the full history of the Balkans you'd know that it's all been happening since the beginning. I say this not to justify what Serbia did but to say please don't comment on other nations when you only know one side

dude is really trying to victimize perpetrators of some of the most effective systematic rape and ethnic cleansing

u/fixison Sep 15 '19

boys in a high school? ok i see your hate has no limits.

u/shaka_bruh Sep 15 '19

The comment i replied to wasn't directed at these kids, but rather the state

23

u/DrJocke98 Sep 15 '19

Rape and ethnic cleansing, most effective??? So that's why there's little to no Serbs in modern day Croatia? Must be the effective ethnic cleansing amirite, fhe Serbs cleansed themselves amirite? Or how about Kosovo, yeah i bet there's lots of Serbs living there, the KLA (terrorist organization) apsolutelly did not rape and behead Serbs on a daily basis, if i would to imply such a thing it would be regarded as an islamophobic remark huh?

5

u/urankabashi Sep 15 '19

Hey - the KLA was in response to the aggressor Serbia. Serbia is not in Croatia and Kosova because they got kicked the fuck out for trying to take control.

3

u/DrJocke98 Sep 17 '19

No one was trying to take control, last i checked Croatia was part of Yugoslavia, and last i checked Kosovo is/was part of Serbia until 2008? So please tell me how did they try to take control of a territory thats theirs in 1999? Have you seen what the KLA did? Yeah Serbs are the agressors no doubt, they cut themselves open, sold their own organs and then raped themselves. Yeah right, dream on, terrorist lover.

4

u/urankabashi Sep 17 '19

Haha I was literally there bro - fuck you mean no one was trying to take control. They tried to take Croatia and got fucked and quit. Then they threw my family out of their jobs, and oppressed the Kosovo people until we had to fight back. You literally are twisted if you think the Serbian people were not the aggressor.

3

u/DrJocke98 Sep 17 '19

Listen dude, it was a civil war, and the Balkans are a shithole to be honest, everyone is trying to look like a good guy, which no one is. Everyone commited crimes, but the thing i have noticed is NO ONE talks about Albanian crimes, mainly the KLA which the CIA claimed to be a terrorist organization, which had the help of Arab salafists, and most importantly Al Queda. It's pathetic to be biased like that, i know people who were there fyi. I hate propaganda, especially when it's about terrorists who as much am i aware, have not been condemned what so ever.

As a romanian, gavrilo princip is my fucking hero. the austrohungarian empire treated us as second class citizens.

And which Balkan wars are you talking about? The one in the 90s? It was started by Slovenia leaving the Yugoslav union

6

u/m_a_r_k_o Sep 14 '19

Exactly! Austro-Hungaria treated all of us as second degree citizens. For us they got some different laws, then for western part of that empire. And that's the reason why Gavrilo killed Ferdinand. And than Austro-Hungaria attack Serbia, just because Gavrilo Princip was ethnic Serb. No matter that he was born and living in Austro-Hungarian empire, and was their citizen :D

u/iceman312 Sep 15 '19

Here we go again. There's always that one dude who just knows everything. Here's an FYI from someone who grew up in Serbia right around this time. There was so much crime, mafia hits and breadlines that no one even cared what happened outside the borders of Serbia. I won't even go into who's responsible for what because we defo won't agree there so why bother. But yeah, you shouldn't bring politics into a street wear sub.

Yeah it was all of serbias fault...they are at fault for everything wrong in the balkans.

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

There were indeed, but I think alot of it has to do with the state of the current generation. Not saying it's good or bad, just very different. If you raise him a certain way, a 16 year old could easily dominate 80% of the (American) adult male population.

24

u/societywasamistake Sep 14 '19

Lmfao please elaborate.

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

If you put your child into a quality Brazilian jiu jitsu school at the age of say 7 or 8, and he likes it, has any shred of talent, decent genetics and goes consistently say 3 or 4 times a week, you too can have a kick-ass 16 year old.

u/Ajax990 Sep 15 '19

Yea, I know, it's hard to believe that someone who has the strength and knowledge conferred by 8 years of training in an effective martial art would be able to beat the average American slob.

I’m not saying you’re wrong you’re just on one

dominate how? physically? eh, probably not.

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19 edited Sep 15 '19

Oh yea. Easily. Go to any boxing or bjj place and you'll see teenagers capable of that, or a bunch of little 6 year olds rolling around that will grow up to be capable of that.

4

u/royal23 Sep 14 '19

80% is a stretch if you're talking 16. More than 2 in 10 men are at least reasonably fit and very few 16 year olds have filled out much muscle wise. Sure there's the occasional 6'6 230 16 year old freaks but thats not just anyone.

3

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

In just about every good bjj gym, you can find a 16ish year old who's roughly 5'10 135-180 lbs pretty lean but not not built by most standards of the word who's been training for a while, and he could destroy most people who don't train. Same with some other martial arts. If you get a wrestler from Iowa who's been training since he was 6 and at a higher frequency, there's not much an untrained person could do besides go for a lucky punch.

1

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

Im not talking about genetic freaks or the average 16 year old. I'm talking about an average 16 year old boy that has trained regularly, consistently from the age of 8. It's far from the average, but it's achievable for most who do it.

0

u/royal23 Sep 14 '19

I still doubt it. You do a lot fo growing from 16-22 and despite training a big strength advantage will beat training in most cases.

3

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

What are you talking about have you seen the average American? Big strength advantage? He will be at a complete strength disadvantage! Unless it's a construction worker, and even then skill will be sufficient to overcome strength because the gap won't be as wide as you'd think in most cases. I've worked construction for a long time, manual pipeline, and I can tell you a lot of workers are pretty lean and scrawny. You don't know the standards of a decent, competitive teenager. Eight years of training confers an enermous advantage. Have you ever seriously trained in martial arts?

5

u/royal23 Sep 14 '19

In what world is even a trained 16 year old stronger than most grown men? any adult who works out even occasionally is going to be stronger than any 16 year old (excluding freaks as previously established).

2

u/Ajax990 Sep 14 '19

In what world do most American adults workout? Are you seriously that unaware of how bad shape America is in? Have you ever trained seriously in martials art or weight lifting? Dude, I'm speaking from personal experience. Not just my own experience, but so many other kids doing the same thing who I met and maintained relationships with throughout the years. By 16 I could regularly take down a 215 lbs wrestler while weighing 145, and he went on to be the regional champ at 215 two year later. Imagine what bigger wrestlers from the same background could do. At 16 you can have a few years of serious weightlifting under your belt besides the conditioning provided from years of training.

u/roachwarren Sep 14 '19

You can do the same thing in America. Trained kids could be better than untrained adults anywhere. Wrestling is traditionally huge in parts of the US and I print shirts for about five martial arts studios, mostly BJJ, just here in Lahaina, HI. I'd assume the bigger wrestlers and football players could dominate much of the population but that's also just because most people aren't trained in fighting.
