Threadjacking is against the rules in NSG.

Your entire argument so far has been a threadjack, and quite a shamelessly blatant one at that.

What human rights violations the United States' government might have committed does not validate what the Russian Federation has done. That someone else kicks a dog doesn't mean it's right for you to kick a cat. It's a shitty and irrelevant argument, and you should feel ashamed.

Feel shamed for what? For daring to critise the US?

So, how come that you dont feel ashame to spread hatred and antagonism toward Russia and the Russian people, and hatred toward anti-fascism.

Probably going on the fact half the people who call others a Fascist just say it because it associates with something they believe to be bad.
Because people are dumb.

Anyways, good on Putin.

How many lives will be effected by action against the federation? How will it effect the internal politics of the Federation? The list goes on.

Did the international press kick up a fuss about it in 1988. Yes or no ? No they didn't. It wasn't convenient.


Gay rights were viewed differently then than are today. The past is irrevalent here. I mean heck slavery used to be legal, but i gurantee you the press would "kick up a fuss" immediately if any country tried to pull that today. :)

Yes, although they would not agree with that. They tried to genocide the Boers.

We are speaking about 1988 - that's practically yesterday. Gay rights were already considered important enough. No they didn't because Britain was a "good country" and not the Russian enemy.

No. For daring to bring an irrelevant and cynical argument to a thread that doesn't need it.
We're not discussing the crimes committed by the United States' government. We are discussing the crimes committed by the Russian government. If you want to discuss Guantanamo, start a thread.

Scholencia wrote:So, how come that you dont feel ashame to spread hatred and antagonism toward Russia and the Russian people,

Asinine question is asinine.

The Russian government is violating the human rights of LGBT people.
The Russian people is endorsing it.

I'm both a human rights advocate and a pansexual man.
I have every reason to oppose this.

Well, the point is they had just concetration camps as nazis, I want to say for the same purpose: to exterminate people (primarly Slavs). There was an Italian conctration camp on the island of Rab there about 500,000 people died.

There was also forced Italianisation on Slavs in Istria and Dalmazia.
