Ha-ha.

Supporting torture and humiliation of fellow human beings because of their sexual orientation is civil now?

Oh I see... haha. ;) You're deliberately misinterpreting me because you can.

I think it's entirely disgusting what these Neo-Nazis have done. That said, I'm monitoring the thread because it's a hotbed for flaming and trolling. As long as people play nice, there is no problem with debate. It's better to encourage good behaviour than react with negative reinforcement. No one likes when mods hand out warnings and lock threads.

Remember guys, the mods are watching.

Let me make one thing absolutely clear, genocide, mass murder, and mass rape is never, ever okay. It doesn't matter who the victims are. It doesn't matter who the perpetrator is. It isn't okay, it should never be okay, and I will never consider it okay.

The Illuminati actually existed.

In the 800s.

Then the Bavarian Government disliked their socially progressive and secularist ideas and busted them.

It's quite a sorry tale.

No it was not. Anyone with a basic understanding of the second world war or not blinded by ideological propaganda knows it was not.

No, it was a random backstab on the USSR by the Germans, who were both pretty good friends before (non-aggression pact, and so on).

I thought it was to expand into Russia for "Der Volkes Lebensraum". Nazi Germany had no communist uprising and it had no problem with the Soviet Union at the time. No other reason except for land and to establish superiority.

EDIT: Let's get back to the topic at hand. The harassment of homosexual teens in Russia is allowed. What is your opinion?
