    I like the idea of possibly using for some of the troll posts or something I find offensive. Troll posts in my opinion don't require a response, offensive posts-let's say basic racism, I'd likely post a reply to.

    Neg rep to me is basically 'I hate you,' it's personal. Thus, I don't do that or at least haven't for years, probably MaineMan?

    True that, Russia is renowned as a bastion of free expression, and don't let any dead jurnolists tell you otherwise (:
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    If you were lucky to know Russian you could have seen how wrong you are with your sarcasm.

    Examples:
    http://echo.msk.ru/
    http://www.kommersant.ru/
    http://www.ng.ru/

    If you are really interested in this subject, try to find a Russian speaking friend of yours and look together with him at least through these issues.
    Should you succeed to persuade him, viewing daily program '60 Minutes' on TV Russia-1 (available on the Internet).
    You will discover a completely different world.

    LOL! You be funny. Had trouble with the sentence that advised to 'consider the source,' I guess.

    I don't think I have a problem with understanding your advice to 'consider the source'. I am speaking about Russian tolerance to pluralism of opinions worked out by a lack of censorship in Russia. And I realize that it may sound strange for Americans.

    Lack of censorship in Russia. Is this the joke of the day? Oh and tolerance? This post is better than an episode of World's Dumbest. I used to live right across the Black Sea from you and my dad spied on your not so brilliant tail ends. Want to run that one by me again?

    You are definitely entitled to your opinion. But don't try and piss down my neck and tell me it's raining. And if you need a reference, it's from "The Outlaw Josey Wales".
