Sharon has more spies in America than does Putin. Spying is normal - for allies and foes alike - we do it too.
Who has more spies in America - Israel or Russia? Or Britain?
Fact: Alcoholism is effectively epidemic in Russia.
Fact: Sixty-five percent of all Russian males are drunk at the time of their deaths.
And I stand by everything else I said. [Drug-resistant TB, AIDS etceteras]
Really, and where are these facts from? Site the location and source: FACT: 5% of Americans die as a result of Alien Abduction complications.
You been served!!!
"Let's just say I comprehend the Russian language a whole lot better than I ever let them be aware of! No they're not all spies of course. but there are some...never mind - you honestly do not want to know what I know."
And gee, they wouldn't even think to look on a website like this and see your comment. Now you've done it, they'll be after you! Come on, reality time, if they are trained spies/sleeper agents/etc., they would not say anything in Russian, French, English, German, Italian, etc., within earshot of you. If you are "hearing things" they're probably screwing with you. Being married to a Russian woman you should understand their sense of humor.
"And the incredibly high rate of illnesses Russians bring with them, including AIDS, pretty-well-incurable, drug-resistant, TB and hepatitis -- and the endemic alcoholism from which 60+% of Russian men die -- should be scaring the pants off someone or other among the Peter-Principled-persons who populate and pick up checks from the feral gummint's vast health, communicable-diseases and security bureaucracies."
Wrong - people with those afflictions are not allowed to come to the US. Check out www.usembassy.ru and see the medical screening (using only Embassy approved and certified doctors) they have to go through.
Fact: Alcoholism is effectively epidemic in Russia.
FACT: Alcoholism is on the decline in Russia. The new generation considers alcholics "uncool."
Fact: Sixty-five percent of all Russian males are drunk at the time of their deaths.
FACT: You're Wrong
And I stand by everything else I said. [Drug-resistant TB, AIDS etceteras: Yes, it's a problem. But Russian tourists and immigrants do not bring it into our country.
<< Wrong - people with those afflictions are not allowed to come to the US. >>
Rubbish.
You are talking about legal emigrants/immigrants.
Most of the third world's riff-raff [And such terrorists who chose to] come as "tourists" and/or as illegal migrants -- three million in 2004 alone -- and Russians are no exception.
I have an obviously better understanding of my own situations than you would, so a discussion with you is useless. I am well aware of the Russian sense of humor
