What's Wrong With Russia?

Just when we thought Russia might actually be entering the 21st century the government has started this crap...persecuting people for opinions and lifestyles that ultimately threaten only ignorant, weak willed and generally middle age white males...God I had hoped humanity was progressing beyond such fearful, hateful thoughts and closer to tolerant, loving ones, but I have always been a dreamer believing in what humanity Could be rather than what it is. Such lost, immature minds perpetuating such unenlightened perversions...
