Ten Things that you can do in Russia

but Can’t do so in the United States

Own an Automatic Rifle without a Permit.

Smoke in any Restaurant you visit.

Drive without a seatbelt.

Buy chemicals for your chemistry set.

Put up a “Girly Picture” on your Wall at work.

Drink a beer at your desk at work on Friday.

Buy Codeine-Enhanced Aspirin over the counter.

Pay only 15% in total taxes instead of 60%.

Smoke a fine cigar at a work meeting (Ash trays in all the rooms).

Be a Male Chauvinist.

Ok, reality. Everyone has a tax id. That's the way it is in all nations. Nationality is even listed on birth certificates, well was under the Soviets, but I don't know now, I haven't look at any of my friends' or cousins' kids' certificates.

Muesums are not free. Actually if you can't read Russian, you'll pay a higher fee then if you can. Doesn't pay to be illiterate as a foreigner. :0)

There is a drinking age, but it's not enforced. There should be a smoking age, I'm for one for it.

[Aggie Mama]

So move to Texas.

[Stavka2]

Just get money out of a cash machine. I do that in all 1st world nations I travel to, that way you get the best exchange rate without having a percentage added.

It's not Putin but the farmers that don't want land reform. Otherwise, they will have to compete with each other. Going to happen anyways...but they'll slow it down.

"And they can legally own and set-off fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July ... "

What exactly would a Russian citizen be celebrating on the 4th of July?

[coydog]

James P. Hogan had set up just such a scenario in The Multiplex Man. It's a very thought-provoking read; I'd recommend it.

[WRhine]

Time to learn Russian. I'm There.

[Roscoe]

Come the 'free republic' revolution

Jim Robinson isn't calling for a revolution.

[Centurion2000]

Try pulling up to a Siberian 7-11, filling your tank, and getting an espresso. Ain't gonna happen just yet, although it looks like they(the Russians) may be on their way.

Vladivostok comes close probably .... of course being next door to North Korea and 1.3 imperialistic Chinese does have disadvantages all it's own

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...check out any of the foreign dating services and see how many Russian women are there - and then add to this the fact that Russian men treat their women like hell - and as an American male you are in great demand in Russia. That is even better than the pin up girls - they're real.

He's right

[Fifth Business]

Pay only 15% in total taxes instead of 60%.

What's 15% of squat?

Seriously, though, which do you figure is the most free state in the United States?

[tpaine]

Only a brown-nose roscoe would care.

[Roscoe]

Seems that nobody at all cared about the America-hating "A Call to Action" post.

Gavaritzi paruski Yazik?

I only know one all-important thing: Âàøà ìàòü - äåøåâàÿ øëþõà

[Cultural Jihad]

Slavu bogu sevoydnya piatnitsa.

[American in Israel]

Stand in line for bread, insult your boss and end up blacklisted for life by the state, live in a apartment the size of a shoe box with one bare bulb for light on a $50 dollar a month social security payment with your 13 family members and decide between light or food. (Ukraine). Need

Amazing these threads, they always depend on you not being there... However, America is headed that way thanks to the liberals and their russian Hero Clintoon.

[Cultural Jihad]

After praising the Russian freedom to lie undisturbed in ones own vodka-induced vomit, the thread will venture onto the wonderful freedom to be hungry in Somalia, and the enviable liberty they have to choose which warlord to serve.

[Roscoe]

They're always on the look out for new ways to express their hatred for our country.
