    With my most recent post I wasn't pointing out whether the US or British media treat the Muslims with greater sensitivity, obviously the British media treat Muslims with with greater sensitivity. This is directly at the thought that the British media, in this case specifically the BBC, does not treat them with as much sensitivity as you suggest.

    Just keep telling yourself that. Maybe the easter bunny really exist also.
  2. Originally posted by LikeASong:^ not nice. I learnt the other day that there are TONS of chemical&bacteriological weapons abandoned at a formerly-island-now-peninsule on the Aral Sea... No security, no dismantle programs, no nothing. Just tonnes and tonnes of these weapons lying there, leaking to the ground and ready to be taken for anyone who wants them. THAT is sick.

    The Russian are infamous for not paying much attention to there defunct WMDs. Really more frightining than anything else in the world imo.

    BTW, for any videogamers on here, yes that is the island from COD:Black Ops.
  3. I completely agree with the Swedish foreign minister on the Russian election.

    "This was a skewed election process that was arranged to give a result in this direction, there was no doubt about that." (Translated by me)
  4. The result from Chechnya, a region that is in conflict with Russia:

    Putin 99,76

    Voter turnout 99,61

    Yeah, right.
  5. Just about everything about the whole Russian political system is plainly fucked up.

  6. Yeah, it's not a democracy, it's a hybrid-regime, or maybe even an authoritarian regime.
  7. Good ole Russia. No matter how fucked up you feel your country is politically, all you have to do is look to them, and it really don't seem that bad.

    Well at least they put up a show. Nobody asked me to vote for Van Rompuy. And when we say no in a referendum to the EU constitution, they just change semantics and go ahead anyway.

    Also judging on Russia's past, I am not sure if anyone else would be better. You cant expect the opposition to change the power abuse situation, they are probably knee deep in that as well. Will take centuries to change that.

    Real democracy doesnt exist. In most countries its a puppet show, in the USA lobbyists' money mostly determines who ends up at the white house. And in Russia friends at the big companies have a direct vote.
