Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
Nor casting pearls to swine.

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

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.

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".

Just want to add, as to the piss off, and it's use thus far. It appears I win!!!
