Your premise that Western culture's social norms are absolute and universal is far more dangerous than OP's idea of having each culture define its own practices. The West has a genocidal history of bringing "civilization&quot

Old habits change quickly. Remember the 90s when we were friends? What does not change are geopolitical realities of land vs. sea power.

The paper also talks about statistics on how often gay people are beaten in Russia. United States is far worse in this respect. Further United States has a greater incarceration rate for gays than Russia.

Russia allows these things too except for the part of getting minors involved. EDIT: The Wikipedia article is full of hedging on this topic, e.g. - "According to _some commentators_..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

It is a bit offtopic but since you brought up the smear campaign -- the campaign is much broader than just the hacking, it includes the LGBT rhetoric http://www.blacklistednews.com/The_Olympics_of_Hate_in_a_Nat...

there is a fascinating trend with shift away from "mainstream" (i.e. top of the list except for C) to functional (e.g. F#) and other languages with specialized paradigms (e.g. MATLAB, TSQL)

Here's a hypothetical example of a legitimate NPE: a club of inventors/patent holders getting together and forming a company to share administrative expenses. Certainly people can come up with other examples of benevolent NPEs. Th

The coverage sounds like a poorly done hit job in the "questioning" style of Fox News. The title doesn't even assert that spying happened. The accusations come with no proof but with ample citations of "unnamed diplomats

Aircraft pilots, even highly trained ones, overreact in non standard situations. The simulation argues that the plane could not have been significantly damaged by the tree. The simulation doesn't say anything about pilot's reaction to the c
