Actually, nowadays, in post-soviet Russia, Putin crush you. After all, Putin crush free speech, Putin crush political opponent, Putin crush fair election, Putin crush Chechnya, Putin crush economic reform, Putin even crush your testicles... (Well, there haven't been any allegations of that last one yet, but I figure it's only a matter of time... Welcome to the new Russia, same as the old Russia...)

And as for the dihydrogen monoxide article, it's technically true, from a legal standpoint. If you ingest too much dihydrogen monoxide at once, your lungs will be unable to tolerate and/or process it. That's a classic definition of what a toxic substance does.

That fact that most people call this "drowning" is just layman's quibbling over details. ;)

God, I love being a lawyer. :D

Not quite, but close. They're a right-wing fascist dictatorship now, in place of a left-wing socialist dictatorship. Different idealogically, exactly the same in the effect on policies and the people under it's dominion.

A trendy rut involving bloody, repressive dictatorships? Yeah, that sounds about right. The rut has been going on for a thousand years.

And, unlike most places in the world, Russia's population is actually shrinking. Most Russians casually drink so much it qualifies them as full-blown alcoholics anywhere else in the world.

:lol: I knew someone would say that. Didn't know who or when, but I knew.

And for the record, I don't believe what I believe "just 'cause", I've studied alot, questioned my faith, and I always, always come back.


But lets not turn this into another religious topic, m'kay? :nod:

Well it WAS intended as a joke. ;) We can discuss the more serious bits of the joke over in the Religion thread. ;)

No doubt.

But I will decline the invite. I'll only be told to read such and such, that I'm a bigot, that I am ignoring science, or something along those lines.

Nah, seriously, we've been working hard to keep it sane. Its too much fun actually DISCUSSING it for once, instead of fighting about it.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
