Complaining about fingerprinting people to tie them to their passport/visa/etc in order to prevent people from using lost or stolen ID.

I wouldn't worry much about the russians. They want to make us look bad so they'll use what they can.

For some reason I don't take that site too seriously...

Did you see all the pictures and links on those pages?

The articles might be true, but that's not a place I would go for my news.

What, you don't believe that some fishermen caught and ate an alien while fishing? Or that there are invisible poisonous skyfish flying around at 300km/h? I'd say that site looks very trustworthy. Oh hey, did you see that they found Atlantis under Antarctica and that there's people living inside the Earth?

Website has to make money somehow, regardless of the ads....

Good to see the flashy colors and pictures distracted you from reading the actual article...forget the fact that at the end of the article, it cites the original post on someone's blogspot. It is an opinion article by someone in another country. Always get a better view from the outside looking in....

I read the actual article, and I've read similar ones in the past. There've been numerous opinion pieces in the past attributed to a Russian claiming that we're being turned communist/Marxist/socialist/whatever slowly and behind the scenes while we condemn them for being/having been communist/Marxist/socialist/whatever. :dunno:

 

[JNickel101]

Yeah, pot calling the kettle black, eh?

Both directions....

 

[tharlanjr]

No it was a good article, I was just saying it was a funny website that I would not take seriously.

I agree with what they were saying though

 

[tbburg]

Was I the onlyone who noticed this? The tone of the article seemed to be blaming forces in the west for Russia's marxist/communist government.

That or, "you criticized us for years, and now look what you're doing to yourselves..." type of tone....
