Exploring The World Of Russian Science Fiction Online
jimharris writes: "There is a vast heritage of science fiction in Russian that is as large and diverse as SF in English. This Russian site has several complete science fiction novels in English. If you go to their home page you will feel the language barrier. Most of these are out of print in the English speaking world, but many were translated and published in the seventies, and can be found through AddAll.Com. I have found one Russian Science Fiction club that tries to help the English speaking world understand Russian SF, and also gives their view on Heinlein and Philip K. Dick. Only Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky appear on the Classics of Science Fiction list. I have to wonder what far-out concepts I might be missing because I only understand English -- maybe the Internet will help break down this barrier."
Some frosty piss? Eh? Eh? You know you want it. Come bask in the frothy goodness.

True, there are some really nasty Russian chicks, but damn, there are quite a few really nasty American chicks too, infact I would say that per capita, the US has more fat, crooked teeth, mustache sporting, sweaty, white trash, stanky, downright disgusting gals than anywhere else in the world.
Besides, some russian chicks are really hot, especially in southern russia.
not sure about the porn though
If you can't make it in America, the easiet place in the world to live and work, you deserve to starve. Period. You are unfit and need to be plucked out of the gene pool.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
Finally, how can you take seriously a country whose capital city is constructed like a huge bull's eye, just waiting for the U.S. to wipe it out.>
Is this the part where I stand up, put my hand on my heart, and scream GOD BLESS AMERICA?
If you read it - it is not sci-fi :)
