In 1968, a diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia and an indefinite stay in a high security psychiatric "hospital". This is just a fine. So this is progress for Russia.

It was a jab at the madness that has engulfed the United States for quite some time. For the last decade, leftist activists have legally harassed a Christian baker in Colorado, who refuses to write messages in his cakes that violate his christian beliefs. As far as I'm concerned, even a religious protection should be unnecessary. Government should not have the power to force anyone into an involuntary transaction, for any reason.

Here is joke about that: Two guys meet in Gulag...one says "I got 15 yrs for anti-social behaviour, what you got?" "I got 10 yrs and didn't even do anything!" " Don't lie! If you had not done anything, they'd have given you just 5 yrs!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
