• Russian Parliament Passes Anti-Gay Bill 436-0
    144 replies, posted
[QUOTE]MOSCOW (AP) — A bill that stigmatizes Russia's gay community and bans the distribution of information about homosexuality to children was overwhelmingly approved by the lower house of parliament Tuesday. More than two dozen protesters were attacked by anti-gay activists and then detained by police, hours before the State Duma approved the Kremlin-backed legislation in a 436-0 vote. The bill banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" still needs to be passed by the appointed upper house and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin, but neither step is in doubt. The measure is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values as opposed to Western liberalism, which the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.

[quote]The measure is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values as opposed to Western liberalism, which the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.[/quote] Peasant, those dirty westerners are corrupting our problem-free society. The wife beating law is next on the agenda, although you can only beat your wife so much.
In other news, a bear shits in the woods (seconds before being shot by Putin)
Good ol' Mother Russia, glad to see that the government is sticking to the same corrupted roots that took seed under the rule of Ivan himself those many years ago.
And what of that man that came out as gay and was then brutally murdered by his old friends?

Not surprised at all. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever get a government that isn't full of corrupt insane shitheads The worst thing is, general population supports all of this. Their stance on gay rights is absolutely abysmal. Apparently, gays "destroy family values" and try to "convert" everyone they see into homosexuality
Russia was better off with cold war era Soviet union
Russia is such a shit country.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993731]Russia is such a shit country.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=shian;40993712]Russia was better off with cold war era Soviet union[/QUOTE] Lets not get carried away. I wouldn't call the US a shit country because they're spying on their citizens.
[QUOTE=shian;40993712]Russia was better off with cold war era Soviet union[/QUOTE] No it wasn't. Especially if you weren't Russian. The USSR practically leeched off the Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic countries, etc.
[QUOTE=Melnek;40993748]Lets not get carried away. I wouldn't call the US a shit country because they're spying on their citizens.[/QUOTE] to be fair I'd call US kinda shitty because lets face it, it is.
[QUOTE=Melnek;40993748]Lets not get carried away. I wouldn't call the US a shit country because they're spying on their citizens.[/QUOTE] It isn't just this, Russia in general is a shit place. I'm also very surprised that not one single person in the Duma had either a conscience or balls. How can an entire parliament be full of cowards and homophobes.
[QUOTE=J!NX;40993794]to be fair I'd call US kinda shitty because lets face it, it is.[/QUOTE] lol, what reality are you living in
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993809]It isn't just this, Russia in general is a shit place. [/QUOTE] it's not the best place on earth but it's not the worst either. calling it shit is an overstatement.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993731]Russia is such a shit country.[/QUOTE] u wot m8 i'll smack u in the gabber
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;40993843]it's not the best place on earth but it's not the worst either. calling it shit is an overstatement.[/QUOTE] There are levels of "shit", and Russia is definitely in there somewhere. About the only thing Russia has going for it is that it is financially solvent.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993731]Russia is such a shit country.[/QUOTE] Russia is not a shit country, let's not get carried away here. It's in a piss-poor political situation, that's for sure, but that doesn't make the country itself shit.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993870]There are levels of "shit", and Russia is definitely in there somewhere.[/QUOTE] Are you done saturating your superiority complex yet?
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;40993883]Russia is not a shit country, let's not get carried away here.

If it is in a shit political situation, I wonder who they have to blame? Anyway, I have nothing more intelligent to say than "russia is shit" so I'm out.

I can list all sorts of problems with russia (educational corruption often ruins the chance for a good future for many kids), but the facts are most still like their country and wouldn't call it shit. Ofc some want to just fuck off to someplace else but there are those in every country (eg. people calling the US shit)
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993900]Anyway, I have nothing more intelligent to say than "russia is shit" so I'm out.[/QUOTE] That's because, when it comes to this topic, you're an uneducated bigot, who's only natural reaction is to snap at the bit and charge headfirst into an asinine, opinionated position that only serves in making you look like a jackass.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993731]Russia is such a shit country.[/QUOTE] Having a shit government doesn't mean that the entire country is shit.
[QUOTE=shian;40993712]Russia was better off with cold war era Soviet union[/QUOTE] Anybody from any countries that were conglomerated into the Soviet bloc would sorely disagree with you.
