getting mad, are we? personal attacks are a sign of desperation from people who have difficulties articulating their thoughts. i suppose it's clear why you hid your name now.
now back to the topic. the scholarly debate is over whether the famine was intentional or not. that in turn determines whether it was genocide at all. this i got from the wikipedia link you gave me, so i hope you can see the irony in the fact that you -- as the kids say -- pwnt yourself.
well, what do you know? there's another side to the story. it seems this mysterious reader "Max_W" lacks the intelligence to investigate anything past tin-foil conspiracy theories.
hehehe, you're one angry little boy, aren't you? *pinches the tyke's cheek*
your arguments and links not only utterly fail to prove your point but are also completely off-topic. i had to chuckle while reading your response because half-way through you got really mad and displayed emotions commonly seen in a child throwing a tantrum. such behavior is also a sign of desperation from someone trying to save face. reading other replies to your funny post, it seems i'm not the only one who made this observation.
now listen here, kiddo. instead of stomping your feet with anger and crying your eyes out, why don't you take some time off the internet. we wouldn't want another bitter blogger making exit plans. lol
calling russia a thug is funny. it's especially funny when when you realize that georgia is the one who started shelling ossetia and then proceeded to invade it whilst committing atrocities just short of genocide against the ossetian population. it becomes downright hilarious when you learn that ossetia has been a de facto independent state since breakup of soviet union and belongs neither to russia nor georgia. why is this funny? because your entire childish tirade is built around the fact russia's the bully when in reality, it is georgia.
so as you continue to flood slashdot with your tears i have to say but one thing: QQ
blame everything on russia. even if there's no proof. that's the motto of the american media, and seemingly, the idiots that follow it religiously.
i figured, at very least, a site full of intelligent people such as slashdot would able to reason and question the claims, but apparently not when it comes to politics.
the attack on the georgian blogger wasn't meant to silence him. how in the world do you silence somebody when the attack only last a few hours? and these are social network sites full of people that practically live there, so you know people are going to be pissed and asking questions when their homes become inaccessible. so OBVIOUSLY, this not an attempt to silence someone, but rather to bring A LOT of attention to him.
so let's ask a simple question: who would want to bring attention to a pro-georgian, anti-russian blogger on the anniversary of south ossetian war?
A lot of the times things look they way they do because someone presents them a certain way. That doesn't make it true. Especially if the person presenting it has some bitter bias.
Just because Russian peacekeepers were there doesn't give Georgia the right to roll in their tanks and start killing civilians and peacekeepers in Ossetia. And South Ossetia IS a sovereign country. Russia had EVERY right to be there as the citizens of a sovereign country asked them to be there. It issued South Ossetian passports because some people had family members in Russia and wanted to travel to see them. Nobody FORCED them to take passports. What kind of argument is this, anyway?
Ukraine said they paid their bill but saying something doesn't suddenly make it come true. When a country stops paying and starts siphoning off your gas (even admitting to it) you have no choice but to shut it off, or by the time things get settled in some WTO, billions of dollars of gas will be stolen. Your little implication that Russia is not a civilized country really shows how bitter you are.
Your Putin argument is really lame. You're claiming that just because you can't buy polonium at chemist's shop then it must've come from Putin. Do you even see how ridiculous that is? As far as an investigation, there was one by Scotland Yard and they couldn't find any credible evidence to link Russia to prompt Russia to do an investigation of their own.
What's happening with some journalists is sad, but without proof you can't go around accusing the government of doing this. There is credible opposition media, but you're right, you can't find enough people that are interested in hearing a contrary point because most people just don't care for it. An ideal government in Russia is one that keeps the country stable and leaves the citizens alone. Putin provides this, so for that he has a lot of support. The opposition usually wants radical change, and in case you missed Russia's history, everyone is tried of changes.
Russia's alcohol and demographic problems are Russia's problems.
I'm keyed up about it because it's disheartening to read so much hatred. You're calling me ignorant but all of your arguments are based on speculation, hearsay, stereotypes, and just complete misinformation, so by your own suggestion, perhaps its time you invested in a mirror, then?
Don't be so bitter. Your claim that Russia wants those states back is silly. Nobody in Russia wants them. I think people are more happy now that the government doesn't have to waste money on them.
As far as being in NATO, it's a false sense of security. Who is really safe with so many nuclear weapons all around?
QQ for the third time, lul.

as i said before, lul
*yawn*
*stretch*
*fart*
'3,000,000 starved for fun' backed by a link to a wikipedia page which claims the the root cause of the famine is a subject of scholarly debate.
lul

it's funny how all the tards who make ridiculous claims tend to hide behind anonymity.
that's one ugly airship. it looks like some fatass sitting on a toilet, squeezing out a turd (cabin).
here's a hint: if you don't like it, don't fucking do it and leave people that do alone.
i'm surprised these people don't need help using toilet paper

If you don't know enough history then why are you commenting on it. Stop being an American stereotype.
wow, comparing a country's history to scientology and its people to some deluded redneck from nebraska. way to go!
Wow, so much hatred. I only hope that someone finds your 'exit plan' blog before you go on a murderous rampage against some innocent Russians.

Translation of gnarlyhotep's comment: "Only my opinion is right and if you try to argue it, you're an EXTREME nationalist."
What crimes? If you don't like the way Stalin treated you then go cry to Georgia.
Yeah, people who throw others in gas chambers en masse are better indeed.

US has a viable defense system? that's news
A lot of interesting claims there. Xenophobia? Violence? Past operations? Met with approval?
Sir, I have to say: [citation needed]

They must be pretty good media whores to get on slashdot and get a reaction out of you.
Latvia holds annual Nazi parades honoring Latvian SS officers.
Estonia was trying to erect a monument honoring Estonian Nazis, but a bunch of Jews and Europeans complained until those plans were scrapped.
