You seem to be typing random words. Are you OK?

because communism killed hundreds of millions, the commies today can't survive without hiding behind new names

No. I mean it. I know people are cruel to you.

Nema, can you please come up with a different punchline? "Are you posting from [insert year]" has gotten stale.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Probably not, no. Thank you for asking.

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday Russia would not legalize gay marriage as long as he was in the Kremlin.

He made clear he would not allow the traditional notion of mother and father to be subverted by what he called “parent number 1” and “parent number 2”.

“As far as ‘parent number 1’ and ‘parent number 2’ goes, I’ve already spoken publicly about this and I’ll repeat it again: as long as I’m president this will not happen. There will be dad and mum,” Putin said.

During his two decades in power, Putin has closely aligned himself with the Orthodox Church and sought to distance Russia from liberal Western values, including attitudes toward homosexuality and gender fluidity.

Don't blame him. I remember pushing for gay marriage years ago, and look where we are today. Slippery slope turned out to be real.

Marriage is the leading cause of divorce, I'm not sure why it's such a relationship end goal for so many couples.

It would be like giving a spotlight to a large community that hate him.

Put your personal beliefs aside for a moment: There's literally nothing for him to gain by legalizing it. All it would do is increase the number of people who hate him & let them hate him in public. They'll never forgive any of his previous statements. Ever. It's not worth the effort for him to bother with it.

When a sufficient number of Gay people come out, people in your family, your neighborhood and your work, it become very difficult to hate them. Coming out is both the most radical and the most practical step towards liberation.

The exact opposite of what he wants...

One could argue that he has been in power for too long and is continuing to cement it further to some detriment of citizen happiness or well-being. That could just be what it means to be a ruler though, but it will never be excellent or popular.

I'm surprised he hasn't crowned himself king yet. Only thing stopping him would be public backlash... not that he hasn't executed journalists or other people who disagreed with him before.

That could just be what it means to be a ruler though,

Wow. That is dark.
