What are your (and Russian people's if different) stances on these qustions:

1) Is homosexuality inborn (decided before birth)?
2) Should same-sex marriage be allowed?
3) Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt children?
4) Should homosxeual couples be allowed to make their own children using surrogate mothers (women who carry and deliver children for them for money)?
5) Can openly homosexual people serve in your police/military?

I cannot tell you for all the Russians. I can only give you my point of view on this. 
1) Is homosexuality inborn (decided before birth)?
No
2) Should same-sex marriage be allowed?
No
3) Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt children?
No
4) Should homosxeual couples be allowed to make their own children using surrogate mothers (women who carry and deliver children for them for money)?
No. I personally stand against surrogate mothers in general.
5) Can openly homosexual people serve in your police/military?
Yes they can. But they won't.

Tbh, I don't understand it. Why again and again the questions about homosexuals? I think your attention to this problem is disproportional.

Well, it's the easiest way to tell the status of human rights and equality in a country and how 'civilized' it is. Discrimination of some groups is a bad thing, especially when there is no rational reason to.

Your answers are of course concerning.



WoW this is hilarious. Russia imposes sanctions on west and obvious paid russian users infiltrate western websites and start spreading propaganda. That's hilarious.

I will never understand how you put into direct relations 'civil level' of a country and the way its citizens fuck. For me civil and culture level of a country described by totally different things.

No no no, you misunderstood. It's not how the citizens f*ck, it's how they treat people of different ethnicities, genders, religions, sexual orientations, etc.

If people of different colors are treated badly, religion is taught in school, women are powerless and gays don't have the same rights as straight people... that's a good way to tell how advanced a culture is. The majority is always okay, they have the power, it's how the nation treats those who don't that matters.

But this is not the place to discuss this.

It wouldn't be the first time. Been here since 2010 and you choose now to talk about russia, praise it like its the best thing since sliced bread, even tho its one of the most corrupt and miserable countried on the planet, and spread a shit ton of ignorance and propaganda. Here is a pro-tip. This is a gaming site, if ya want to talk about gaming that's great. Otherwise no one really cares, no need to try and hijack the site with that shit. You don't see people from China or Japan on here doing that shit. No one has any reason to unless they are paid to.

Oh,I understand what you mean now. A minority problem... You know, as I understand, Russian society is a bit different from West. For example we never had ethnic problems with black people. (Its just too few of them, I think).
On the gay problems - I know several gays around me. They don't have problems, they just live their own lives. 

I think that the gay problems (same as feminists!) really starts when the stop just being gay and want MORE attention to them. Then they could make problems to themselves.

And for average Russians -  gay problems are almost non-existant, since we mostly see them on a TV.

If politics would be banned on this site - I'd not speak about it. But the site have its own chapter on Politics, so its OK to discuss it here. 
Also this thread is mostly about culture differencies and similarities. Only some people trying to derail this thread into politics or gay themes. 

In my experience I know that the view of westerners on Russia is often distorted - and i like to tell them how I see my own country. I love Russia, I'm proud of it and I don't understand why cant a speak about it with other people.



Heh, I think they do have problems, but they don't tell you

But that's okay, this discussion is useless - it's not like I can change your mind. Let's drop it.

Another question: So you think you could defeat the United States in a war?

1) If they invaded you, 2) If you invaded them

I mean every other realistic shooter is about it
