Kao što možda znate, Oskar Prohaska je jedan od likova u seriji Viza za budućnost, iz 2000-ih. Ponovo sam je pogledao i nešto sam se zapitao:

Svaki od likova rahmetli Sulejmana Kupusovića "živi" određene stereotipe koji su tada bili prisutni u Sarajevu i BiH

- porodice Husika i Golijanin sa rekao bih veoma klasičnim razmišljanjima za to vrijeme

- Gospodin Uskok koji je klasičan primjer Hercegovca, švercer

- Sandžaklije kao mafijaši Sarajeva

- ona žena sa lošim bosanskim koja je predstavnica međunarodne zajednice

Koja je uloga Oskara Prohaske? Šta on simbolizira? U Sarajevu više nema Čeha, nikad nisam čuo da su Česi neki uber-evropljani (to su većinom Hrvati ili možda Slovenci).

Iz današnje perspektive, Kupusović je sa likom Oskara Prohaske možda pokazao veoma jako gledanje u budućnost, jer su Česi, Poljaci, Slovaci... zauzeli pozicije u EU koje su nama bile namjenjenje da se Jugoslavija nije raspala i krenuo rat. No, čisto sumnjam da je to TADA bio glavni razlog zašto je njega ubacio kao lika.

Peak European, Balkan supremacy. Outjerked America with literally 1% of the population.

Hoćemo li dočekati "Prašku brigadu" dijasporaca?

Već sada ima par, ali to je još sve minimalno.

No, da su plate bolje, vjerovatno je lakše otići za CZ i Poljsku, već jezik je dosta lakše naučit

Exploring other Slavic languages (i'm Bosnian), i noticed that we all would have a much more funny time if we'd travelled more to other Slavic countries.

Already Slovenian often has some funny words for us, the most known one "zahod", which in Slovenian means West, but in BCS is an old world for "toilet".
Czech sounds very childish and cute, they use a lot of diminutives which we use when making sth. "smaller", for example "kompjuter" becomes "kompjuterčić", "stvar" becomes "stvarčica".
Polish often slavicizes their words, the word "samochod" for car is for me like "alone goer". Its not funny per se, but it makes you think about the word in another way which makes you laugh a bit.

Polish, Slovak, Russian...?

What are your experiences?

Ne mislim samo na Bosnu. Općenito.

Ljudi su nekako puno negaitivniji, gledaju ciničnim pogledom na svijet.

To se vidi donekle i u pop kulturi. Pogledajte malo muziku od prije 20-30 godina i danas. Puno više pozitive, priče o običnim stvarima... i onda današnju, koja je puno više agresivnija, pretenciozna donekle čak.

Danas se možda manje gleda na sve kao na crno ili bijelo, ali je zato sve postala nijansa sive.

What are your thoughts on the recent alliance with Riyadh and Islamabad?

It kinda does seem very promising, as all of the countries might profit.

Turkey is the sole real industrial power with a big, growing defence industries, it's millitary-industrial complex is (or will be) very hungry for new capital and customers to expand.

Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, but lacks a industrial base and defence industry, it needs partners to cooperate to establish something of their own, especially considering the looming end of the age of oil. It also feels threatened by its big eastern neighbour across the sea.

Pakistan has nukes and is always in dire need for money. Apart from nuclear weapons, they also have a big army. More importantly, they have an army which is often involved in conflict (and other than Turkey, they face those conflicts also with other armed forces), e.g. a good testing ground for weapons, airforce for example.

What do you think?

And what is your opinion on the future role of Ankara in the Middle east in general?

Was die Beziehungen zwischen Europa und den USA angeht.

Habe jetzt schon mehrmals gelesen, dass die USA auch unter Bush sehr unpopulär in Europa waren, und dann änderte sich alles unter Obama.

Drugo pitanje, isto u kontekstu geografije.

Kod Bošnjaka je većinom podjela na

Desnicu - stereotipično familija koja je za vrijeme OC imala dosta zemlje ili visok status, prezivaju se -pašić, -begović. U prosjeku više nacionalno/etnički orijentisani, na Jugu gledaju neutralno ili negativno (uglavnom, nemaju neki previše jak osjećaj prema tom periodu), više religiozni.

Ljevicu - stereotipično familija koja je napredovala dosta za vrijeme Juge a prije toga nisu imali puno, manje religiozni, manje nacionalistički/etnički orijentisani, imaju veoma jak osjećaj prema Titu i periodu 1945-90.

Nisam u detalju upoznat kako je stanje kod bh. Srba i Hrvata, ali mislim da je i kod njih vjerovatno ima jedna u principu slična podjela društva (famozna podjela na "komunjare i ustaše" Hrvate npr.).

Često pričamo o miješanim brakovima između naših naroda, ali koliko je zapravo česta pojava "miješanih" brakova unutar samih naroda?

Kod mene, otac Hercegovac, a majka iz srca Bosne.

Kod vas koji također imate roditelje iz veoma različitih regija, kako je to uticalo na vaš život? Čijem dijelu Bosne ste bliži?

Eksplicitno ne mislim na "miješane brakove" u smislu etnije, mislim da je to nešto drugo.

Do you think someone cannot be a Muslim and advocate for a secular state at the same time?

Also, do you think that a big issue for secularism is actually the negative connotation of the term itself?
I have found that being secular is often equated with being irreligous, atheist etc. when that isn't the case at all. It's mainly about how a country should be governed, it's way more complex.

I simply believe that a state should not act as an enforcer of religous laws.
First of all, there are many interpretations of the Quran, depending on the school of thought, and not so start into the various sects.
It also leads to corruption because a state could as well just base anything it does or enforecs on religous laws and expand it's power.

Also, not everyone is a Muslim, and even if he is, he may not follow every rule. Why should someone be punished by the state because he drinks Alcohol, for example? It's a personal choice and it makes him less Muslim, but it's his or her decision to do so, and if you have to force the person, it doesn't make it any better, because he or she just isn't doing it because they aren't allowed to, not because they believe they should adhere to what the Quran or a Hadith say.

A secularist is just someone who believes that a state shoudn't create laws primarily because they stem from religion, but only because it does harm to other people or the society as a whole. Now, such laws might be influenced by islam, since we are taught that this or that is harmful for society, but such laws are still secular since they don't directly stem from religion. Even in the most irreligous countries a lot of laws stem from beliefes which can be traced back to Christianity, it doesn't change the secular nature of them.

A Muslim can still live under Islamic rules, but to make the adherence personal rather than instutionalized, which may not only be bad for other not as religous people, but even himself if the official interpretation of islamic rules is not the same as his.

U kontekstu dolaska stranih radnika u zemlje okruženja, ali djelimično i u BiH.

Kontam nekako, kako će to kod nas izgledati u budućnosti?

Imaju dva ekstrema kada su stranci u pitanju. U Americi svako može postati Amerikanac, nakon par godina niko te neće gledati kao stranca ako dobro znaš njihov jezik (makar je to ideal njihovog društva). U Japanu možeš živjeti i 200 godina, ako imaš i promil strane krvi i ne izgledaš 100% kao Japanac, nikad nećeš biti stvarno prihvaćen kao dio društva.

Gdje vi nas tu svrstavate?

Sa jedne strane kontam da smo jako konzervativno društvo, sa druge, da smo realno gledano uvijek imali strance kod nas, još od Osmanlija, Austrijanaca, pa ratova 90-ih...

A i danas imamo dosta stranaca, makar u Sarajevu.

Mislite li da smo mi neko društvo koje bi moglo da prihvati npr. jednog Pakistanca koji dođe i ovdje osnuje porodicu, i da nakon nekog vremena bude posmatran kao Bosanac, ili makar njegova djeca rođena ovdje?

Za narod gdje se stalno širi neki strah o sukobima, ni na indivudalnom nivou se ne radi puno.

Istina jeste, okretanje ka obnovljivim izvorima energije, koji pritom još omogoćuvaju decentralizovanu proizvodnju, je najveći patriotski čin.

Zamisli sutra da bude neki belaj, ne mora čak ni nužno imati veze sa Bosnom.

Nisi zavisan o uvozu nafte ili plina, ne moraš se bojati da ćeš potpuno ostati bez struje.

Svjestan sam da je ovo i ekonomsko pitanje, ali opet...

Hört sich an wie eine Suggestivfrage, soll es aber nicht sein.

Die Stimmung in der Gesellschaft, auch hier im Netz, ist ziemlich klar: Wir als Europa befinden uns wirtschaftlich auf einem absteigenden Ast. Und das ist an sich keine Katastrophe, mit Reformen, neuen Ideen etc. kann man da noch was machen.

Aber, wenn dann jemand den Vergleich mit den USA zieht, ist direkt die Hölle los. Öffnet jeden Thread hier in dem die Entwicklung der Wirtschaft, der Löhne in der EU vs. USA gezeigt wird, und 90% der Europäer hauen direkt raus "yes, but we don't have to bankrupt because of medical bills/student debt" etc, oder negiert den Abstand direkt. Wieso?

Man kann sagen, dass die dort Probleme haben, ohne die wirtschaftlichen Probleme zu negieren und so zu tuen, als ob uns unsere "Konkurrenten" nicht langsam davonlaufen, wirtschaftlich gesehen.

Kao neko ko voli čitati izdanja stranih novina, Economista na primjer, boli to što u Bosni i Hercegovini više nemamo niti jedan ozbiljni print mediji više.

Do prije par godina smo, ako ništa, imali Dane, a danas ništa.

Oslobođenje nije loše, ali je dnevna novina, i rijetko kad rade neke ozbiljne analize.

Stav, iako su definitivno naklonjeni SDA, imaju neke ozbiljne tekstove, ali većinom su ograničeni na identitet Bošnjaka (historija, kultura) i politiku, rijetko kada će biti nešto o ekonomiji na primjer.

Van toga, ništa.

Klix je news portal, Avaz je nešto u sličnom fazonu.

Drugi tipa Žurnal, BIRN... imaju kvalitetan rad, ali to nisu mediji, to su istraživački portali.

Svako ko je jednom čitao jednu ozbiljnu novinu zna na šta mislim. To su mediji u kojima se iznose i mišljenja, analize šta bi se moglo uraditi, davaju ideje, ozbiljni razgovori i autori velikog renomea.

Like, let's say you speak Mandarin, can you work in Hong Kong in public offices for example, banks etc.?

And how much of daily life is conducted in English, since there are many foreigners?
For example, let's say i would like to work in HK as a physician, would i need to speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

I have read that a lot of people think Brexit was a mistake, some even want to return to the EU.

In the last years, you have made steady GDP growth, seen numbers we in continental Europe can only dream of.

Yes, sure, you have issues. But where does the EU help with that?

The Union is overburdened with red tape, bureaucracy, it can't get anything done. The growing economic gap with the US is more than telling. Sure, you have these issues too, but they won't get better if you then even have a supranational level where you have to fight for a better economy.

EDIT: Since a lot of people asked about evidence regarding GDP numbers:

Wer sich mal auf dem Immobilienmarkt bei unseren westlichen Nachbarn umgesehen hat, kennt ein Modell, was es bei uns nicht gibt:

In Frankreich und Belgien gibt es oft Häuser und Wohnungen, die nicht direkt zum Verkauf angeboten werden, sondern in Tausch gegen eine monatliche Zahlung bis zum Ableben des Besitzers, quasi eine Rente. Meist kommen noch ein paar Zehntausend Euro als Anzahlung drauf. Wie ich es verstanden habe, wird es so geregelt, dass die Immobilie auf einen übergeht, aber der Vorbesitzer (bzw. die zwei Vorbesitzer) lebenslanges Wohnrecht erhält.

Was haltet ihr von diesem Modell? Ich finde es einerseits interessant, andererseits ist es schon irgendwie verwerflich, da man ja direkt davon profitiert, dass der Besitzer so schnell wie möglich stirbt.

Let's say, the next 10-15 years. I am mainly talking about Western Europe (Germany, France, the Nordics, Benelux etc.), since eastern member states are still a bit further behind.

After about two years of the new government, it seems that the economy isn't really showing any negative reactions. Albeit job numbers being bad, their overall growth, salary growth etc. is still great.
