I agree with this.

When I was in Moscow I had a giant woodrow for five straight days…the broads there are SO SO SO HOT
^debating the hotest geographic should have it’s own thread
^ I think the no fap thread will suffice
I already got all my answers, but thanks
cool stuff drago.
Lot of parallel’s with india.
Hottest geographic location?-lebanon…nothing comes close.My 14 year old self could not handle the skin show and fake tits on display.
I hear argentina runs a good game as well…plan to visit.
Because you said everyone is lazy and refuses to protest and just accepts what’s going on all while wearing Levi’s from 1982.
I might be paraphrasing.
STL
I like pears and hunting
Apparently you don’t like sleep much. You post in the middle of the night a lot.
I know.
Arni said ‘You should sleep 6 hours. But you will say I need 8, 9 or10 hours of sleep. Well, all i can tell you is sleep faster’
“Putin grabs the pike and holds it up for the camera. Off-camera, an aide warns, “Vladimir Vladimirovich, be careful, she can bite.” Putin, ever the daredevil, responded, “I will bite her myself.” Then he kissed the pike.”
Scary man. I wonder if Kabaeva even had a choice.
Putin didn’t mind the smell and bit raw fish, rest assured he can keep he happy 
Doesn’t matter how skillful he is if she didn’t want it in the first place.
Reminds me of this:
^^^ Eww
Political culture arguments tend to sound appealing but tend to be tautological, particularly if there is no vision of how cultures can change over time.
It is true that not everyone sees traditional democracy as a goal in itself. Americans tend to, because it is part of our conception of who we are (descendants of 13 colonies rebelling against a king and setting up a system of self government). Of course, that doesn’t preclude a process of hollowing out democracy, wherein we go through the rituals of democracy, such as elections, without the actual process of democratic control over a state that has any real power to do anything.
For much of the world, the goal may be less about democracy per se than the absence or abeyance of tyranny. Ultimately, many people come to accept democratic rules because of how they constrain leaders from turning into tyrants, or as a method of power sharing after finally growing tired of conflict. The challenge again is that the Russian experiment with democratic rules coincided with economic shock therapy and hyperinflation that was so painful that the current regime has traction conflating democracy with economic anarchy and using that to justify why it’s good to have a strongman figure like Putin, even if it means that individual rights are effectively meaningless. Much of Russia’s accomplishments were achieved under structures like this, so it is easier to make the argument that some collective Russian spirit “enjoys” having large portions of the population disempowered (not that the narrative is true, just that many people can be led to believe it).
I do think that trouble will come for the system when Russians who didn’t live through or remember the 1990s and see how democracy works elsewhere come of age and start to ask why not have democracy in Russia too, and don’t buy into the idea that democracy causes economic chaos. Pressure like that may be felt in the next 10 years or so. Of course, by then, the Western Democracies may be falling into their own chaos, so the pressure may not be quite as great to democratize.
Apparently people don’t buy the whole fish story…

It is amazing how the topic of Snowden has not yet been brought to light on AF, when at the same time you continue talking about lack of democracy/rights in Soviet Russia. Very typical.
You, Americans, may continue talking about democracy, while Putin just pushed his BSD in your a$$ and gave Snowden his one-year asylum.
#No homo, and no love for Putin. But I liked his move.
Haha, apparently the Belarusian counterpart Lukashenko has beaten Putin’s Pike with a 57kg catfish. Jeez, these guys are like cartoon villains.
“Vice Prime Minister Mikhail Rusyi reportedly backed up the improbable claim saying the whopper was the size of the president himself.”
