Alright, alright, guys, I think we can all agree Russia is a great and rich country where the sun shines on all the happy children and unicorns roam the countyside and all those rumors about it being cr*p in EVERYTHING except military strength have all been lies by the western media (and by everyone who's ever been there) and you'll love it there so much, guys. Unless you're gay. Or non-white. Or Ukrainian. Or non-Christian. Or the wrong type of Christian. Or curious. Or poor. Or handicapped. Or liberal. Or female. But except that, it's juuuuust fine.

Can we put this to rest now?

Sure we can, but that's not the point of my post. I strive to understand the processes in the world, so I encourage other people. While yours judgements are rather weak I'm afraid, indications of which are general emotionality, lack of critical thinking in form of reproducing various cliches, unneeded attention to superficial thoughts and ideas. Would you have been honest with yourself you'd have agreed with me. Sorry I have to address your post in this way, but you left me with no choice, because addressing it somehow different is hard and ultimately pointless since it consists from value judgements and nothing else, while I mentioned "deadbeats" and explained. I think in context of modern world it's substantialy more important in the long run.
