Thread: "Pussy Riot......"

They can make their point without ruining the lives of these girls with a 7 year prison term!

The Church did not require any punishment for them.

It's a parody, of course.

Comrades, our plans to invade Sweden are no longer secret!

The Church has recently softened its position.

Are you kidding - that was not clear from the translation I read!!
Some trials in the UK are not far from that - the judges amuse themselves by making ironic comments or applying very dry humour to some cases.
I'll check it out again.

Yeah right, because you REALLY need more taiga and iron mines..... (that's all we have here, really...)
Well - I am really not worried about this LOL, because last time there was a conflict between Russia and Sweden was in the 17th century and as far as I am aware it was WE who attacked, and (sadly ) lost.... our entire little "Baltic Empire".

Nevertheless there are a few "Russia" blogs in Sweden that are "watching" the Russian military and coming up with various ridiculous conspiracy theories. Particularly, they tout the idea that the more the our defense is dismantled, the more tempting the idea will be for Russia. What tosh!

Good! It would have been totally unchristian of them to insist that Pussy Riot was locked up for 7 years. I assume they did not hurt anyone physically, or damage property in the church?

Perhaps they can just up the security a tiny bit in this particular cathedral so that people can't walk in and set up concert equipment without anyone taking notice until they start singing.

I DO object to people taking the p-ss with other people's faith though.
