This is frightening. This makes it look as though native-Russians are genetically predisposed to brainwashing or something.


Go down to a rally and experience the same thing. People LOVE to treat other people that don't feel the same way with disdain and disrespect, even those whom would preach of tolerance and love. We are brutal apes that still cannot reign in the will of the jungle, most all of us.

No need for "sarcasm" they would be angry because they're black and not from America: God's country>> ^TheFreak:

I'm sure Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell would be extrememly angry to see people representing themselves as Christians subverting their religion for personal wealth and power.

Yes I did, I had a special tear produced for when Jennifer Garner stood up for that fat kid in the end.

THAT FAT KID WAS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

no matter how you slice it, spending too much time studying ancient texts and religions is really not conductive towards bettering our society as a whole and therefore isn't wise. religions are the #1 problem in this region. snap out of it people. study science if you want to change the world.


You got some quantitative data to back up any of these assertions, Mr Scientist?

>> ^shimfish: So "huge portion" == 16% and the fifth largest party.

16% is way more than enough to swing a parliamentary government. You can rest assured that they will get what they want, as long as they form a coalition government with whichever party is willing to hand them the best booty.

Which Israel is this exactly? It must be a different Israel from the one where the "ultra-orthodox" parties have only 16 out of 120 seats in the parliament.

Oh, the Ultra-Orthodox parties (Shas and Yahadut Ha'tora) "only" have 16 seats, but they're still the fifth and sixth largest parties. Add Mafdal (Habayit Hayehudi they're called now) and parties that define themselves by their religion first and their political agenda second have 19 seats, which make up %16 of the Knesset.
Other interesting stats: Of the last 10 governments (as listed in the official Knesset website), Shas has been a member of 8, Mafdal (National Religious Party) has been a member of 6, and the only government that had no religious parties at all was the 26th, which was only that way because Shas left. It lasted for 8 long months.
This is the Israel I'm talking about.


So "huge portion" == 16% and the *fifth* largest party. And that includes a non-chareidi party.

And a country that, at least according to this massively accurate documentary, has 56% "religious" (which to clarify, means everyone who isn't a die-hard athiest) population almost always has a religious party making up its proportional representation government?

Where's this cool, calculated, secular level-headedness that I've heard so much about?

I guess there's only one way to fight fear and hatred. And that's with fear and hatred.

Israel is a religious nation. A huge portion of our government is made up of religious parties and their power grows with each generation of 8-10 child families.

Also see this and this.
