Happy Vladerday, kids!
Loony or not, you have to admit he is quite sexy.
Admit it, the only reason you think he is loony is because your “stupidbox” told you to. In the meantime in the last decade, it is the U.S., not Russia (or anyone else for that matter), who holds the record in killing most people around the world. And a huge lead at that too…
We don’t think he is loony. We think he is a dictator. There is a difference. Now N. Korea’s Kim Jong-il, that is another story.
Kim Jong-Il isn’t loony. He’s bat sh!t fscking insane.
Isn’t that an insult to the bats – and the sh[t??!!!!!
Good point! Batsh!t is good for fertilizer. Kim Jong-not-feeling-well is not–at least, not yet!
…We could fix that.
Creature, you’re right. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to bats everywhere for comparing their feces to Kim Jong-Il. It was highly rude and insensitive of me. I hope you can forgive my error.
You’re welcome!! Have a biscuit – I just baked some.
*sends some Lemon & White Chocolate biscuits*
Enjoy!
He’s not a dictator either….
To be technical, you are correct. However, he is well on his way.
Wikipedia tells us that a dictator in modern parlance is “… is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly.” The debate is over whether the Federal Assembly provides ‘effective’ restraint.
He can’t really be classified as President for life, which would have been my first choice, since he switched from Pres to Prime Minister (along with the requisite legal changes to maintain his political dominance).
Although he might be frightening over here, sometimes a dictator is needed for brief periods of time to clean house. You might not like his methods, but for the first time in a long time pensioners are getting their pensions, the military is starting to guard the nuclear and chemical weapons, the major cities are slowly climbing up from under the blanket of post soviet corruption. The Yeltsin free-for-all was good for no one. His leadership was weak and the results, amusing as his drunken bouts were to the outside world, the results in the country were not pretty. Maybe the power has gone to the man’s head; trained by the KGB and all paranoia must come naturally. But I still think he has decent intentions for the nation as a whole and his leadership has the potential to do some good. I doubt the country will slip back into an actual dictatorship, too many capitalist interests would be adversely affected.

What’s that stupidbox? What are you telling me? No. I won’t. I won’t do it. I won’t kill them. They’re innocents. I can’t. NO! Stop yelling at me! I won’t do it again…stop it, stupidbox!!!!
He is definitely one of my secret crushes
Not so secret anymore! Vlad sending car for you. It’s best to not rebuke his affections.
*texts HelOnWheels*
ZOMG Putin’s taking me on a date!
*disappears ‘mysteriously’*
Breaking News: Putin found dead in large automobile explosion. Witnesses say the last thing they heard said was a young American woman saying “ZOMG can I drive this thing???” The young lady has not been seen since the accident but is rumored to fired…from what we don’t know.
I think it’s a new record.
I do enjoy the perk of my own parking space at the unemployment office.
“my own parking space at the unemployment office”
Do you mean the part of the office that you took out when you tried to park after you got fired the first time?
*texts Capt Wow*
ZOMG you totally put-out for Put-in!!!
*texts back*
Is that what he’s saying? He’s such a-
*is pushed off the road by KGB cars and taken away*
Because when you get to Russia, affections rebuke you?
There is something about him — a very good looking guy, actually. If only he weren’t an cold and evil puppetmaster….
yeah.. he is quite sexy indeed! and the loony part.. I am not so sure on that. Most of my Soviet friends agree that their life is getting better .. I can’t see how thats a bad thing.
this made my life
Just look at that enchanting smile! And those Robert Mitchum bedroom eyes!
and that receding hairline!
Make vote or Siberia
That’s Vin Diesel’s body with Pooty Poots head photoshopped on. Not that it’s unrealistic… just sayin’ is all.
I’d be happy with either of them . . .
Or both!!!
mmmm sandwich!
you and me both.. hey… lets share, we can swap at half time ;>
I think Vin’s head was photoshopped onto Vlad’s bod.
Say what you will about Russia but that man is unbelievably sexy and although he and i would not see eye to eye, I’d bed him in a new york second and I’m betting dollars to donuts he is a master in the sack.
That is Vin Diesel’s body — I have a picture of the original — and if you want unbelievably sexy and probably capable of setting off a nuclear explosion in bed, he’s your guy. And to top it all off, he isn’t crazy!
Crazy:
1.
a.having flaws or cracks
b.shaky or rickety; unsound
2.
a.unsound of mind; mentally unbalanced or deranged; psychopathic; insane
b.of or for an insane person
3.temporarily unbalanced, as with great excitement or rage
4.Informal foolish, wild, fantastic, etc.; not sensible a crazy idea
Vlad may not be a nice person, and he is definitely a successful, power-hungry politician in an environment that where failure=death, exile, or jail, but I don’t think he can be called crazy.
Just saying.
vlad is a saneperson he is not crazy, in fact he’s a h ero in russia.
he is a hero to me.iwould like it if the peopole who call him crazy ever notice HE IS NOT PRIME MINISTER ANYMORE. he bosted russian economy set up laws to make russia a safe place, helped riase awarness of russia as a superpower and for what? to get insulted by stupid americans who dont know a thing about politicts or global affiars. i know i cant spell
but thumbs up who those that dont insult ruissia.
I am actually a big fan of Russian history. In some ways, they could be an example to the world.
Especially the way they got rid of those communist czars!
Hey, nr, your spelling’s not bad for a non-native speaker. And I seriously doubt that we could make as many jokes about any other country as are made about our own.
no kidding, nobody can beat the fact that we (not me) elected gwb, not once but twice…. if there is humor in the cosmos, we are the laughing stock
He is not prime minister anymore? I beg to differ. :p (I’ll suppose you meant he’s not the president anymore.)
A few years ago in America we had a ton of people saying the same things about G.W. Bush. “He brought dignity back to the White House,” “He’s seeing the nation through its darkest hour,” blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately he, too, was and is a warmonger and possibly a psychopath. I’m glad that Russia loves their Putin, good for them, really. I’m just wondering how long the love affair will last and how many nay-sayers will suffer not-so-mysterious deaths before the affair ends.
I am canadian, and i ahve to say i agree, he was put there for a reason, right? and also, VictoryNotVengeance, Russian history is some of the most interesting of any country’s histories ive ever read about. nrb299, i’m glad to see your patriotism is strong for your country
“he bosted russian economy set up laws to make russia a safe place, helped riase awarness of russia as a superpower and for what?”
Okay, I gotta invoke Godwin. Hitler fixed the German economy and made Germany a safe place (well, for most Germans, anyway) as well. I make the comparison not to say Putin is Hitler reborn. He very much isn’t. What I am saying is that doing good things for a country doesn’t exclude the possibility of doing bad things.
I’ll give Putin and Russia credit for carrying on with the political process and allowing it to go forward democratically. And he has certainly bowed out of the limelight a bit. Medvyedev is definitely the headliner in Russia now, as well he should be.
But I’m not a fan of changing the process for selecting local leaders from elections to appointments or changing the voting from direct candidate elections to elections for parties as he did in 2004. The system he changed to is legitimate and is common throughout the west as well. What was troubling is that it definitely consolidated power with Moscow and it was done without much input from the Duma, which is definitely the behavior of a dictator. Since then, at least with internal politics, he hasn’t misbehaved as much. But for a few tense months in ’04 I was seriously concerned that Russia would shift back to a Soviet-era system minus, perhaps, the Marxism. His KGB pedigree, while no guarantee of trouble, certainly lent a shade of worry on any criticizable action as well (Just as Bush Sr.’s CIA past and Cheney’s questionable legal suggestions and defense activities under Ford caused me serious pause).
“to get insulted by stupid americans who dont know a thing about politicts or global affiars.”
I don’t? I’m actually quite well read on politics and global affairs. And I make a particular point of reading up on news of nations other than my own from sources outside the US. I’m not usually one to boast about my own credentials, but you left this one wide open:
“HE IS NOT PRIME MINISTER ANYMORE.”
As someone who considers him/herself more educated than us stupid americans, tell me, who is the current prime minister of Russia? (Hint: He’s a former KGB agent and the predecessor of Medvyedev as president) He stepped down as president when his term was up and reworked the role of Prime Minister to bring a little piece of his old power with him.
Vlad may not be a dictator, per se, but he has certainly engaged in some rather dictatorial behaviors. And whether or not Russians like him is irrelevant. They liked Lenin and Stalin, too. And Americans loved Bush Jr. post 9/11.
Psychopath = Sociopath = Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Most people confuse “Psychopath” with “Psychotic”, which is incorrect. Psychotics have had a break from reality.
Incidentally, the common misconception that Schizophrenia is the same as Multiple Personality Disorder (now know as Dissociative Identity Disorder) comes from the fact that “schizo” means “split”; however in this case it is referring to a split from reality.
Just sayin.
Well said. Bravo!
Psychology is one of my majors..
I just took one pysch class as an undergrad — deviant pysch. I think they call it abnormal pysch now, unless they’ve changed the name again (they’ve certainly had time
).
I have a friend who’s schizophrenic, and another who’s bipolar. I had another crazy artist acquaintance (not sure what kind of crazy), but he died of being a crazy, homeless artist.
He was a really gifted artist.
I have a whole host of Psychiatric issues, plus my Mom has Schizo-affective disorder, among others. So it’s been kind of a passion of mine for years.
And, isn’t sanity really just a one trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick: rational thinking. But when you’re good and crazy, ooo hoo hoo, the sky’s the limit! – The Tick
Hey girl.
Heya sexy.
Hey you both.. *wink*
Alright… I’m interested….

*rubs popcorn on breasts*
That has to be prickly…
It’s the extra buttery kind. Would you like a buttery nipple?
*sly grin*
I do believe I will..
I believe you’ll like it too..
I think he is one HAWT man!
good lord, I’ve been reading these comments……being Russian myself I can’t help but laugh about the whole sex appeal thing on our Prime Minister. Sure, he’s so far the best-looking we’ve had or that I’ve known of…but this whole ‘hero’ thing is all wrong. what you guys don’t know is that he allowed a ton of already endangered forests/national parks get sold off to oligopolies that specialize in building out-of-town mansions for the richer minorities that appeared back in the 90s from mafias, which took advantage of the country’s money and the perestroika. Thus, he helped bandits destroy land for useless overpriced housing that no one is rich enough to buy, because unlike those few, unfairly “privileged”, millions of Russian people are left penniless and poor compared to world standards. Thanks, Mr. ex-President. you could’ve done something about our government, which thanks to you just got 10 times more corrupt than it was. Aside from that, I’d like to point out that the czars, mabsba, are not related to the latter communism in ANY WAY. It was Karl Marx’s idea gone into the wrong hands after the Revolution. If you guys assume that it’s all about communism, czars, and some stupid sex appeal of a deceiving man, you’re absolutely off the road on what Russia’s history really is about. We’re the most unhappy people, and there’s nothing nice about that. VictoryNotVengeance is correct about us being an example- to other people so they can be aware of their own government at all times, and actually study what goes on. They’ll be far luckier than Russian people, who are not in power to decide, and not in power to see their leader for what he really is, and just how deceiving he is as was the Communist party, and the extravagant Empire before him.
Get a grip. The
at the end of a comment means it’s a frigging JOKE. And there are lots of Americans who are well aware of this man’s detrimental effects on your country (as well as its actual history), but this is a LOL site. You know, Laugh Out Loud.
From our Russian exchange students, I personally have high hopes for your country. It can’t be in any more of a mess than ours.
besides, he’s still a nice piece of eye-candy – as long as he were to be quiet, and do as he’s told. what can i say, he looks like he’d be a fun submissive, or a fun dom for that matter ;D leather and a leash – yum
Now I know what to get you for summer solstice!
no need to wait that long, spring equinox is coming up ;D
It’s going to take me slightly longer than that to infiltrate the security and kidnap him. BTW, you don’t have any high explosives disguised as pens by chance? Or possibly a suit that nullifies body temperature so I can get past infrared sensors?
Check out the Mythbusters’ website; they did a whole episode on defeating security devices, including infrared.
Mythbusters and CSI: Teaching people how to get past security to assassinate the President of Paraguay with a fork since the beginning of the millennium.
Get past security and get away with it. What’s the point of assassinating someone if you aren’t around to see the after effects?
Ask V
I tried. He seems to be ignoring me for some reason.
His cell phone got cut off.
Why “Get a grip” ??? Why in the world would you wish to stifle someone’s expression of their own reality? Instead, you should be thanking RusArtist for his/her input and openness.
It makes no difference that this is a LOL-site. Much truth is expressed via humor and if humor leads to a wider discussion and better understanding of the world, isn’t that wonderful!?!
If you wish to stick only to the ridiculous off-topic comments these forums typically devolve into, then just skip anything else that’s over your head. Simple as that!
Because I was referring to my previous comment about the czars, which he apparently took seriously and made some snide response to. Perhaps you are the one who’s in over their head.
Nope. Not me. I just didn’t bother reading anything else by you after I saw you try to shut someone else down for
ruining your fun.
Gee, sorry that I was insulted by someone implying that no one on here, including myself, knows anything about modern Russian history. But what did he expect to find on a lol site?
BTW, no one tries to ‘shut anyone down’ here unless they’re total jerks, which I don’t think he was.
by the way I’m a she, and my response was not “snide”.
not all americans are as ignorant as the loudest. most of us are aware that communism and the tzars have no connections, the rest, well they wear their badge of ignorance with pride. your country has faced horrors in the past and survived, i believe the strength of your people will come through again. after all, you survived the mongols, absorbed the tartars, and outlived the pograms(sp?) of stalin & lenin, not to mention your own weather.
where there is life, there is hope, it’s just hard to remember that sometimes. i don’t mean to be trite or condesending and don’t mean to come across that way at all.
You are talking to Americans dude. They -love- cutting down forests for rich people. They -love- materialism. They love the idea that they are all there is on the planet.
And the reason I think Russians are an example is because they are the last group of people in the “western world” to stand up against the Czar. The went from peasant to knocking on Berlins door. They teach every peoples a lesson about standing up for the people. I only regret Lenin had such an untimely death and that Stalin was the man there to replace him.
One day, when the world is ready, the people will show our governments against with the same gall the Russian people used in 1917. And the leaders will be too close to escape.
Nice. I love how everyone stereotypes us. Brings a smile to my face.
I’m not materialistic, nor do I like destroying nature for some greedy man, though some people do this not because they enjoy it but because they can’t seem to be able to get employment elsewhere. Sure some Americans do enjoy these things and like these things, doesn’t mean we ALL do. Just like not all Russians are vodka drinking commies as some still think they are (sheer ignorance if you ask me).
That being said, besides the stereotyping (and if that’s not what you meant by it I’m sorry), I truly appreciated your imput, as I did RusArtists. Mainly because I don’t know enough about politics or really anything to form an opinion, so it’s nice for me to hear both sides and everyones opinions.
I’m sorry for wasting everyones time, as well as the possible spelling errors.
Nice post there, Russki. Pleasant change from inane trivia. You gave us some meat. Where’s the vodka? How many Russians has the potato syrup killed? Even more than Jack Daniels I guess. Has it damaged the national gene pool?
yes, it has, sadly. And guess what, Russians didn’t invent vodka, neither did we drink so much prior to the tragic happenings and wastes
Whatever happened to the famous Russian spirit of “ничего”? Man, you almost seem like you care!
RusArtist, You don’t need to “get a grip” — as one of the previous posters here suggested. Thank you for your insight. I feel for your situation.
But don’t worry about this one thing: we really are NOT deceived by him.
Excuse me… DU… your bush is showing.
It’s a shrubbery! Oh you mean my…oh, well, yeah. That’s what happens when i run around naked.
I was just thinking about the children!
Crap! When did they start allowing children on PK?!
We had to fire the bouncer.. you know… economy and stuff..
I thought Bitter was the bouncer…and we paid him in small children. I mean, they are free range and a trolls got to eat.
Well bitter’s been slacking, not only has he let kids in, he hasn’t eaten them yet either!
bitter troll is eating as fast as bitter troll can!!! cant help it school let out this time of year!
Perhaps we should consider hiring the Jabberwocky as a fill on night and weekends so you have some time off eh BT?
-crunchs child – bitter troll is eating as fast as bitter troll can. -munch munch munch- mmm minty
Poor bitter is overeating and getting too fat to chase those quick little kids. Note that the only kids that are left are the athletic ones. The fat ones have already been picked off.
I think the fat ones are his favorite. Maybe we could sell the ones he can’t eat?
anglina jolie would buy some, just teach them accents and paint them brown
I am going to hell, because that actually made me guffaw… not a laugh… but a guffaw.
if it’s any consolation max, you’ll be in very good (bad?) company. when you get here, be sure to check out the facilities – open bar to the right, music people to the left, various types of wrestling in the center and ‘private’ areas to the back. be sure to check under cushions and on the posts for various ‘toys’.
Oh, look at all the wonderful toys Satan Clause has brought us this year!
bitter, sautee me up some with onions and garlic, would you? I had a long day talking to the EWTD.
The resultant children or existing children?
Well, Jane and I do have a mertroll child to take care of. Though, given who his parents are, there’s probably not much sheltering that would dissuade the urges embedded in his genes.
Oh wait.. you’re talking about…. but DU and I don’t have any kids…..
*looks around*
Do we?
I don’t think we do…um…I would probably remember something like that. I hope…. Wait! I’ve got it! We don’t have children. I know this because no one here has posts that are 3/4 ellipses! That would be a sure sign of being our offspring.
Are ellipses a dominant trait?
They…. should…be…..
They were for Shatner anyways…
Oh no! I think due to some bizarre temporal distortion Shatner is our child!
Well now… that would be something!
thanks, I’m very glad to hear that there are actually intelligent people that understand.
“Aside from that, I’d like to point out that the czars, mabsba, are not related to the latter communism in ANY WAY.”
It was already corrected once, but as a for your information service to RusArtist the ‘commie czar’ comment is (I presume) a reference to a sign held by the so-called tea bag protests in the US. We have appointed advisors for various purposes in the US referred to as Czars, a tradition that goes all the way back to president Eisenhower. Many people are angry about so many appointments (though there are no more now than there were, several have just been dubbed czars now that didn’t carry the name before). And one person, who very much doesn’t understand Russian history, held up a sign protesting against the ‘commie czars’. The media grabbed hold of it and ran with it to such an extent that it has become almost the catch phrase for those who wish to criticize the teabaggers (as if their own chosen name isn’t problematic enough). And there you have it, the root of the ‘commie czar’ comment. So, in effect, your criticism of them was fulyl in agreement with their own criticism of the uneducated masses.
I hope I’m not putting words in your mouth, mabsba. I just thought I’d inject a little back story into it for the sake of sanity.
Nah, I was a little ticked when I replied; yours was better. It’s more polite to clue people in, then get annoyed if they STILL can’t get that it’s a joke.
Ok, so I was looking into this “This is Vin Diesel’s body ‘shopped with Putin’s head thing”, and I found this. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
This is even weirder.
ewww, good thing i ate dinner hours ago. that was maybe not gross, but close to it! good job finding that
Oh my god. The Flying Drop Kick Hillary Clinton about made me pee my pants.

Hillary Does though…
Because she’s fast!

Because if “Nice Guy Tom Hanks” were a woman, he’d be a “Bad Girl Lucias Malfoy”.
dud! thous r so shopped!
No, No! They’re Real, I tell you!
you have no idea how much more screwed that country is than the US (unfortunately and fortunately; and it’s if you take into consideration every SINGLE aspect from fake medicine to fake cops). I know it’s a joke, I just can’t take jokes anymore because ironically no matter how much many of us hope for a better future, it’s just about to crumble there within the dozen years. I go there every year and find people suffering more. kind of feels crappy to have no home in either country. Thanks anyway
The world will go as it will, not as you or I would have it.
Don’t worry so much. In fact… dare it to come. One way or another, those who know will find their kingdom, and that’s a promise.
Solidarity. It does suck to see the greedy folks consume, hoard and waste, leaving many with nothing. Compassionate Conservatism, with focus on Conserving everything possible for oneself.
Everyone who comes to the US always has a home here, regardless of how some people may act.
And although it’s true Russia is in a sad state right now, other countries have been in a worse state and recovered…you can, too.
Russia just underwent a monumental transition between two disparate political and econimic systems. There certainly will be growing pains. I hope your dire dozen year prediction doesn’t come to pass, and I don’t think it will. Russia’s history is far to proud for that.
Vlad is my boyfriend <3
Great! Take him and don’t return. Please.
Hohya, I agree with you on this one. as far as mars and beyond.
This is a photoshopped Ken Sax photo of Vin Diesel
Click “Informant” to see the original.
Yeah, just noticed the shadow’s profile doesn’t match-oh well.
You’re a bandwidth thief.
Ken Sax is a commie.
Scratch that. {vindieselgallery.net} is bunch of commies. Guess their site is SOOO exclusive, they don’t wanna share. In Soviet Russia, kindergarden goes to you….
In Soviet Russia, lols laugh at you.
That doesn’t help me find the picture.
And I really don’t like Vin Diesel enough to wade through all that crap.
bitter troll would like him alot better if he wore a big afro wig
Sheesh.
Try here. *grumble*
Ah. That facial age is a much better match with skin on chest and arms. Although I think Putin is more attractive… Does that make me a bad person?
no no VG, power and strenght is sexy…he may be evil but he has loads of both
He is attractive…in a scary way, that would totally keep me from letting him in my bedroom! Not to mention that I suspect he would be a lousy lover (ego can do that) and a disease vector…
thats ok, is why you have charro and bitter troll
But… but.. My ego is HUGE!
We’ll make an exception for you, Max, if part of your ego is dedicated to making your women scream!
That is what I have such a huge head for…
*looks up*
Oh that sounded really naughty…
You are a naughty naughty boy Max.. I think Satan may have brought you punishment for your Jewy holiday..
Presents* Bah..
Those German Jews getcha every time..
i agree. diesel looks like he’s trying to be tough, but putin knows he is – screams self-confidence. and that makes for a sexy person
That’s just Putin’s body with Vin Diesel’s head photoshopped on it. Sheesh.
Hmmm.
Photoshop or not
that man is hot..
lol i rhymed
Frankly, for all one can say about Putin, I think he’s actually being way too soft on Chechen and other Islamic threats within his purview.
Hopefully, the Russian government will not be coaxed by the dhimmified West into giving up some of its territory for Sharia statelets; this will not cause them to calm down, be quiet, and keep to themselves forevermore. Rather, such appeasement will only encourage them to niblle away outside thier borders, to seek to grab more land away from the Infidel (who, under Islamic thinking, don’t have any right to own anything – much less territory – anyway.)
It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again – Islam has bloody borders. It always did, and it always will, for as long as it’s allowed to exist. It’s far worse than the old Communist ideology, and even Nazism, when it comes right down to it – because it can get away with being an untouchable “religion”, free from criticism, protected by feel-good dhimmis who like to think they’re wonderful by tolerating the intolerabale.
Let’s hope that, at least in this case, Putin can be the iron man psycho bastard he’s put up to be.
I see you – in another life – were a Crusader that got the chop when the Muhammadans overran the UnHoly Land. Get over it. The towelheads won, way back and are long overdue for another win. But Vlad the Impaler seems sure to impale more than a few more in Chechen, before he moves on to a dacha on the Black Sea. Where the hell is Chechen anyway? It’s so hard to find on a map, so it must be tought for dumb-ass jihadists finding the joint…
Actually, Vlad the Impaler and Vladamir Putin are not the same person. The Impaler is dead and the Putin probably does more shooting than impaling.
Today’s random factoid: The Arabic word for crusader is considered highly insulting.
Vlad Tepech (the Impaler), was even rumored to not have been nearly as brutal as his reputation suggests. His is yet another case where most of the legends and histories written about him, were written by those who had an unfavorable opinion. In this case that was the Germans. The Russians had a much higher opinion of him and even the stories that were as gruesome as the German stories appeared to have a German and not Russian origin. That said, I’m pretty sure the name was meant to borrow some of Tepech’s reputation and not an actual confusion between the two. I’m also pretty sure this post makes me sound pompous. Yay!
Another random factoid: Vlad Tepech (i’m to lazy to get the slavic spelling, sorry folks) was said to be Stoker’s model for Dracula. However, Tepech himself never went by that name. His father, also Vlad, used the nickname Dracul, meaning dragon, which was actually a reference to the Serbian Order of the Dragon, to which he belonged. His royal house also bore that name from that point on.
I think Dracula means son of the dragon, which is why Vlad the Impaler is considered Stokers model for Dracula. Though I could be misremembering that.
Nope, you’re right. I got it wrong. He was called by that surname during his life as well. slight clerical error on my part.
Oh boy. Actually Islam has not always had ‘bloody borders’ and for much of history Christians were as guilty, if not more so, than Muslims of the kind of rampant cruelty we often accuse them of. This is not a hippie ‘tolerance’ thing, it’s a basic historical fact. Christianity and Islam have been battling it out for centuries and neither has any less blood than the other.
They view us as a bunch of terrorists for supporting Israel and the Shah of Iran for our own political ends as well as trying to influence their internal politics and push their socieities into sin a debauchery. For Russia they see the crimes of Afghanistan and Chechnya. In nearly all cases, both sides held substantial blame for the outcome.
And while a massive crackdown may quiet them for a while, until we resolve the roots of our problems, it will just be a game of ‘whack-a-mole’ beating down a threat in one place only to have it pop up elsewhere. There are plenty of ungoverned territories throughout the world to house baddies of all political and religious persuasions. You will not stop them with guns. You probably won’t even slow them down.
that’s been going on forever. I noted that our demorgaphic sources say around 70% of Moscow consists of people of Islamic origin, none of them Russian, whereas the actual Russian population is in decline because they keep infiltrating our, ahem, religon and traditions.
And here I thought it was just me. He is HOT!
Putting aside what he may have done, he’s SO HOT *_*
omg this is the funniest thing ever none of you can hold a thought for 3 sentences, im sure read back and remember things you meant to write
oh and ill have 3 athletic children lightly fried in the fat of an unbaptised muslim vurgin ta
see you all in hell!!!
Apparently you can’t hold a thought long enough to write a coherent sentence?
im sorry i was a bit overexcited. that and punctuaction (or is it gramma?)
