Freepwads laud Russia's proposed anti-gay measures: Talk of moving there

These shitstains are so stupid and hateful that I can't say what I wish for them.

Russia to outlaw 'homosexual propaganda' and ban public events that promote gay rights.
Dailymail ^ | 21 January 2013 | Sarah Johnson

A public kiss between two men could be defined as illegal 'homosexual propaganda' and bring a fine of up to £10,000 if a bill that comes up for a first vote this month becomes law in Russia.

The legislation being pushed by the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church would make it illegal to tell minors information that is defined as ‘propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism.’

It includes a ban on holding public events that promote gay rights.

Russia has it right.

1. flat tax rate
2. publicly acknowledge socialism / communism doesn’t work
3. too many women
and now
4. no homo agenda

ok... if they adopt the US Constitution and the bill of rights (which wouldn’t shock me as I’m now living in bizarro world)... I’m gonna have some serious pondering to do.

because the US is becoming less and less American every day... and Russia .. well...

And they may have dealt with their “birth dearth” as well!

If it wasn’t for the Cyrilic alphabet, the Russian Language, and the incredible Russian winter, I’d think about moving there myself...

Russia just might be the country to be blessed next. They are banning sin, opening up all doors for the gospel, haven’t heard but probably will allow the bible in schools and if they ever started backing Israel, the U.S. will really be doomed.

Yep, the Russians have it right. Ours is/has become a “sick nation”.

You can learn the Cyrillic alphabet very rapidly, and you would probably speak the language acceptably within 6 months if you lived there and spent a little time studying.

Also, everyone forgets that Russia has a huge region in the south, on the Black Sea. The weather there is much more temperate than Moscow (where everyone gets their ideas of Russian winter). In fact, this morning, my mother-in-law was talking about how unseasonably warm is it today (~60F, Krasnodar Region).

Add to that the fact that they just eliminated all income tax for small businesses (other than their equivalent of SS), and are laying off a good portion of their tax agents.

(At least in Krasnodar where my in-laws live.)

I attended an elementary school which regularly practiced “nuclear bomb drills.” We would kneel down in the hallways by our lockers with our hands over our heads. This was to prevent the rubble caused by the bombs from suffocating us. In my wildest, wildest imagination, I would have NEVER dreamed that 50 years later the Russians would be building the society upon which freedoms could be enjoyed, while ours would be crumbing at breakneck speed. The communists are burying us, just like Kruschev predicted, not with building rubble, but by the traitors in our own country who are enabling them.

go ahead and move there. Then they can watch the gay rights movement as it evolves and grows all over again.

I wonder if they know you're statistically three times more likely to get whacked there than here, the.mafia runs the country, the Russian criminal code is a book of rough suggestions, and handguns are illegal.
