I know who Jobbik is, I just wonder what the name mean. Phmcw: How do you define European culture in this context?

Basically that peoples feel they have enough in common to pay each other bills when they should.

However, there is a catch. You are 1 person, of minor age, that does not have to kick a physically addictive hard drug. Your parents are 2 adult persons that do need to do that. This will make them miserable, sick, irritable and whatsmore for at least a few weeks, if they go cold turkey, or very long, if they try things like reducing nicotine intake slowly with nicotin patches or chewing gums.
This is where the catch is in. This makes for a very unequal balance of power between the two parties. Not only is there the numerical unbalance of 2 vs 1, but also, there is the compulsive drive to score a shot, which can make people do stupid things, even to those they love. To put it bluntly, your parents will de facto be untrustworthy hard drug junkies, when it comes to quitting smoking.

From a pedagogic point of view, I disagree with your parents putting this on your shoulders. If they really want to quit smoking, they should not need a construct excuse like the deal they proposed you, but instead, just do it.

Another man exited the car and ran into the terminal building while he was on fire and began writhing on the ground, before being kicked in the testicles by a member of the public, John Smeaton,[23] who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his heroism.

This man is now my personal deity of ball kicking.

During the incident Smeaton also helped drag Michael Kerr to safety after Kerr, another person to intervene in the event, had been left lying with a broken leg beside the burning jeep after kicking Mr Ahmed himself.

In my mind that would depend a lot on exactly what Bob's contract with the company says, and what the exact language says he was hired to do.

So if I understand it right:
agrarian society + late industrialization = conservative populism

The funny thing is that the stereotype of Germany (in the United States, at least) is very much that of Bavaria: portly men in lederhosen drinking beer and dancing to oompah with buxom blond Frauleinen serving them more beer.

Sounds similar to the American South. Stayed agrarian and conservative for a long time (okay, still is). While the Northeast was urban and social-democratic. The interesting bit there though is that while antebellum Southern politics was dominated by an oligarchy of rich landowners, postwar Southern politics became far more populist (think Huey Long) because of the rise of the small farmer and mill worker, the steady demise of the antebellum "old money" families, and the lack of major urban concentrations.

Is/was there a strong populist streak in Bavarian politics?

There was no civil war in serbia also. Part of territory of serbia is populated by albanian, the same way part of ukraine territory is populated by russians. Everything can be solved politically. You are again trying to say like military in serbia just tried to massacre civilians, and that is also not the case. They did not massacre civilians and than rebel happened. First  the rebel happend with suport form albania, than military moved in to clear the rebel, again as same as in ukraine.

First not the whole world, but some of west countries. Second, i was not influenced by propaganda, because few things that I saw I know where lied in west medias. And third a lot of things you can find few years latter in west medias also, about the lies and propaganda about ethnic cleansing.
