    He neither said Russia were angels or Assad is not a Tyrant

    It's a pretty good explanation of what is going on, trashed because Dev only sees in black and Dev

    You miss quite a lot, it's a regular occurrence in fact.

    It may be, it's very convincing due to your poor rebuttal

    Do you honestly consider whether or not something is fact based on somebody's reaction to it? FFS <yikes>

    Is that another fact or just your opinion?

    I'll spell it out shall I? Anyone who does not know the difference between "fact" and their personal opinion is a moron. Take what you will from that.

    I never actually said the Americans have no culture. I just said none of their culture is original and the closest thing they have is consumerist culture, which is exactly what Burger King and baseball is. Archer mentioned movies as well. Again, Hollywood is an example of consumerist culture. I'm not criticising the US, just saying as a relatively young country their culture isn't as mature or interesting (to me, at least) as Russia's. Russia's culture goes back over a thousand years and Russia, Ukraine and Belarus can lay claim to the Rus' people as their cultural, linguistic and genetic ancestors. I'd rather live in Russia because as a History student I'd find the place more interesting. The English have the Romano-Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Norwegians and Normans as their cultural and linguistic ancestors; the Scots have the Picts, the Gaels, the Norwegians and the Normans as well; Irish have the Gaels and Anglo-Normans/Cymbro-Normans and the Welsh have the ancient Britons and Anglo-Normans.
