Stating that is quite silly in regards to what Dids said, as it is supposed to imply the US locks up a whole bunch of people who don't deserve it.

Did you ever think maybe the US has more actual criminals? If a country actually had more crime, wouldn't that explain a greater incareration rate?

Or perhaps more likely, a more effective law enforcement and justice system, such that a greater % of criminals are caught and convicted? I suspect crime rates are pretty comparable in both countries, but the US has a better police force that actually finds and arrests and convicts more criminals.

People rarely get locked up political reasons over here, the vast majority of them are drug related, which is of course retarded, but still way more legit than throwing someone in jail for speaking bad about dear leader.

Re: Free Pussy Riot

I sympathize with these Russians, but to earn 2 years, they clearly didn't go far enough.

in Norway, politically active rock bands call for the violent ousting of religion from society, and burn churches to the ground (Gorgoroth Frontman Calls For More Church Burnings). this is what SHOULD be happening.

people that try to aggrandize themselves by propogating lies not only do not deserve any respect, that alone should earn them the contempt of all free-thinking individuals. burn churches, curse at and spit on the clergy, vandalize property and do everything in your power to destabilize the nefarious brainwashing machine that is organized religion.

Satan isn't an angry red guy who wants bad things. he's an agent of change. he's revolution over the established order. hail Satan

Re: Free Pussy Riot

They made a survey about how do they feel about Pussy Riot being send in prison? 6% of Russians were against it, 51 for it and others did not care....
Also the russian orthodox church was against imprisonment.

Re: Free Pussy Riot

I thought it was about a riot precipitated by the giving away of free pussy.

Re: Free Pussy Riot

The three women, members of a punk-rock band who fell victim of the state’s repressive machine, showed, in contrast, spiritual and moral strength.


Lolololol.....

This 3 women were trying desperatlely to get arrested and send to prison for the last couple of years, so they could caught attention. Now that they managed that all of a sudden they are poor poor girls. **** them, they got what they wanted.

They are nothing else then attention seeking lunatics. Just check they other "protests"... some of them are really ****ed up.
