Indeed. And I think that the time has come for someone to warn dear Stuart about hurling insults on this forum.

Yeah, it is. You just don't know very much about Russia, or Putin, or, for that matter, much of anything in this area. But I do know an ignorant bigot when I read one.

Wow, Stuart, your charity in conversation is always so commendable! smirk

I don't think anyone here is comparing Russia with the United States. You seem to be the one who misconstrues anything that isn't denigrating to Russia or Putin.

I agree. This is not the first time, but Stuart does not understand the word 'charity'.

I will warn him, if he can understand, that insults are not something which are tolerated in conversation here, and that he is not exempt from that rule.

I speak almost daily with friends who grew up in the Soviet Union or its aftermath. When they read some of the praise of Putin posted on this forum they state that such posters here are, at best, incredibly ignorant.

Violence towards homosexuals or any individual can never be accepted by anyone who follows Christ. A Christian cannot trade one evil for another. Human beings are never "collateral damage".
