Of course not - the courts are much too corrupt in roosha!!!!<BR/><BR/>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4272509.eceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-11655691852852196502008-07-08T09:31:00.000-04:002008-07-08T09:31:00.000-04:00Here is more proof of corruption in Russia, which ...Here is more proof of corruption in Russia, which actually reaches outside of roosha.<BR/><BR/>An article in the Eurasis Daily Monitor, based on findings by ABC News.<BR/><BR/>Recently, some rooshan mafiosos were arrested in Spain. I turns out that they have links to, and operate with the blessings of and for the benefit of, top officials in the rooshan government.<BR/><BR/>Except for one thing - the mafiosos clearly view Medvedev as a Putin puppet - and are in a position to know.<BR/><BR/>Oily orthodox mother roosha, where everyone likes to think that the rooshan church does something other than support thugs in and out of government.<BR/><BR/>What a sick pile of mud!<BR/><BR/>http://jamestown.org/edm/article.php?article_id=2373202Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-34235858539311291062008-07-07T12:56:00.000-04:002008-07-07T12:56:00.000-04:00(1) There's a gigantic difference.

How'd you like a 12% pay cut?<BR/><BR/>(2) Are you suggesting that your personal anecdotal "feelings" are more reliable than this well-respected international think tank? That would be just plain idiotic, if you were. The whole point of the study is to burst such stupid bubbles.<BR/><BR/>(3) The fact that you are rationalizing corruption in Russia's defense is barbaric, clear proof of the obscene depth of the problem Russia faces. <BR/><BR/>(4) If you are suggesting that nobody should be allowed to hold power if anyone criticizes them, we'll be happy to agree. That means Mr. Putin must step down immediately! Will you call for it? If so, we'll be glad to tell TI to pipe down.La Russophobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672264388217953086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-45798272963495060652008-07-07T02:12:00.000-04:002008-07-07T02:12:00.000-04:001) Is there really such a big difference between 2...1) Is there really such a big difference between 2.3. and 2.6for example? A lot of countries fall into that bracket or other groupings leaving margin margin for changes in the ranking of countries.<BR/>2) This survey considers Cyprus, Hungary and the Czech Republic more corrupt than Botswana, Slovakia, Latvia and Lithuania more corrupt than Malaysia and Georgia as more corrupt than Mexico.
