That the Russian Army has paratrooper priests and church.
But that's just badass! It's like a modern day space marine chapter, right?
This is just so messed up.
This is just so messed up.
Any less messed up than all the stupid recreational crap the US army imports to every major base of operation? My friends in the British army are continuously amused at the stuff like videogaming tents, beer kegs etc. in the middle of a warzone...
How else are you supposed to distract those who you send off to die?

Russia set to pass strict anti-gay law that could see foreigners deported for 'sexual propaganda'
It was passed unanimously by the Duma yesterday.
I'm so glad that Russia is still better at tyranny than the USA. It was looking kinda touch and go for a minute there.

Maybe that's why they passed the law. They have to be #1 at something.

Just wait, they didn't have the time to react yet.
I thought America was supposed to be the best at everything? You guys need to step up your tyranny game.

Patriots Owner Claims Vladimir Putin Stole His Super Bowl Ring
hahahahah. Hes actually a super villain.
Obviously a lie. Putin don't need no people-killing rings. He can kill most people with his bare hands, and some of them even with just a stare.

He will never give the ring back. It's his preciousss.
An argument over the teachings of the philosopher Immanuel Kant between two men standing in line for beer at an outdoor festival in southern Russia ended when one man shot the other in the head with gun loaded with rubber bullets, the state RIA news agency reported on Monday, citing the police. Though the wound was not critical, the attacker faces up to a decade in prison if convicted on assault charges.
Among educated Russians, including those who drink, classical literature and philosophy are sometimes debated in casual social settings, the way sports often are in Western countries.

Now you know why the word intelligentsia comes from Russian.
Russia is the best.
Who brings a gun loaded with rubber bullets to a festival? Apparently his capacity to use his intelligence without the guidance of another was limited.
In Russia, educated drunk men shoot each other with nonlethal ordnance over
Literature, then their Prime Minister admonishes America's President for being too violent.
In America, we kill each other over road disputes.
...wtf, 21st century?

If you believe in carrying a weapon for self defense what makes you any less likely to need defense at a festival? If you think you can defend yourself from most likely attacks by dismaying an attacker with a nonlethal but highly painful shot what it's wrong with having it loaded with safer rubber rounds?

Vodka, guns, and philosophy do not mix? Unless it's a vodka martini in which chase the innovative interpretation of Kant must have left the shooter shaken, not stirred.

It isn't that the 21st century is more whack. It is that stuff like this is whack because it is still taking place in the 21st century.
