When I was a kid, it was forbidden to peruse DHMO during class, regardless how bad the withdrawal symptoms were.

What what, you can last over four minutes?

Watching TV:

Here in the EU it is offensive/inappropriate to kill people.

There in the US it is offensive/inappropriate to make people.

So the difference is whether to make love or to make war. Personally I’d rather be a bononbo than a chimpanzee.

There was this weird guy around here who claimed women are 100% man - they have been made out of a man’s rib or so.

And a lot of people believed this guy.

No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what’s happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position “oh it’s just the bad leader” is not a morally OK position.

If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

How do I know?

I’m German.

My grandparent’s generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else’s problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn’t them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.
