Thanks for a reply! Aleksey German is a true genius. IMO, one of the greatest directors ever lived. I've watched all of his works. "Khrustalyov, My Car!" is a true masterpiece, a film that is of great depth. But, unlike his o

There are some good Russian movies that are somewhat unknown to the Western public. For example, I wonder if any of you have seen these: Georgiy Daneliya. "Kin-dza-dza!" (1986) [1] Larisa Shepitko. "The Ascent" (1977) [2

You see, all of the "trivial points" that you mention in the link above are all assumptions on your side, but not facts [1]. You keep calling me a liar, when all of my statements are supported by extensive footnotes with verifiabl

I sincerely don't understand what you're talking about. What "counter argument" I refuse to touch, in your opinion? Just state it in _one single sentence_. Do you really think that "Obama's motivation" is

Your so called counter-argument, the one that you repeatingly kept asking a reply for is not a counter-argument at all. It is illogical of you to think of it as such. That's why: you and US propose an action with an obscure goal and of

Well, I have tried... Here's my last reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6362371 I have put quite an effort to explain my position and the view on the situation. I've got some background in applied math an

Man, what argument are you talking about? That it is up to you and to US to make the case that bombing Syria will actually lead to less casualties than not bombing it? Not up to me. What do you want me to oppose? The case that has never bee

[PART 2] 1.C. As you probably know, today Syria and Russia have agreed to the proposal by Kerry that the only way to prevent attacks is to put the WMD's under international control. And the US reaction, at least immediate, was to insta

Answering here, so that my reply to your post [1] won't get squeezed. [PART 1] Just in case: I believe in your sincerity and want for the truth, and didn't mean to offend you in any way. >Amnesty talks about 10K dead just in d

First, I would reiterate some of my points and supplement them with new information. Then I would comment on your concerns. The last part of my message will be my response to your ad-hominem points. 1. Lack of evidence. >You know full w

I will reply in the coming days. Too much work, no time for research today. The one thing I'd like to say is that I haven't yet found the documents that would support your thesis about the human rights record of Bashar Al Assad, e

The planned military intervention does not want to "solve" the problem. It wants to send a message beyond Syria. It's about holding people accountable for genocide. I have raised my concerns about this position here. [1]

When we are discussing the issue of Syria bombardment, it is a good idea to address these questions separately: 1. Justification (legal and moral). -a. Is there a conclusive proof that the Syrian government has used these weapons? -b. Are t

Or, as another poster summed up [1]: Syria sits right in between the oilfields in the Middle East and the oil consumers in Europe, so when a pipeline is built connecting the two, Syria has a vote for or against its completion. Since oil pi

I'd like to correct myself: I've said that the policy was implemented couple of years before, this is not correct. The first country-wide law ‘against propaganda of homosexuality to minors’ was really passed on 11-th of June, 2013

Hi! I'd like to thank you too! It was kind of disappointing to become aware that my reply wasn't probably read by anybody (since there were no new posts on the thread at all). And equally refreshing to read your reply! :) Thanks f

I am Russian and live in Russia. I don't usually write comments, but, since I've never seen any reasonable explanation of the Russian homophobia issue on any Western website, I'm going to bite the bullet: First of all, as ban

Not at all. Store settings_dev.py and settings_prod.py in your repository. What will be different on production machine and on local one is the symlink file called settings.py.
