Being of Eastern European background myself, I've come a conclusion that many people over there still suffer from the USSR mentality. The mentality being is that it's alright to screw people over, since you think that you're smarter than them, and that you deserve to live better than them. Thus they call westerners fat, spoiled, capitalist pigs or with any combination of thereof that makes them feel superior. It's not because the people are bad, it's because they've lived in bad conditions for a long time.
That's very comparable to my posts in the Mexican immigration threads... those people are of different mentality than those who were born in the US. And if you're from US you most likely will never understand this mentality (which is perhaps for the best).
Also many of them go to such great length of cheating people when they can be earning even more money legitimately. Once again, back to the USSR, it was impossible to make any decent money legitimately.
But I find that people that grow out of that mentality are very honest and successful. Contrary to what many think, Eastern European countries are full of hard working and kind hearted people.
