Re: Dear Ms. Mizulina (@ James Hughes 1)
'Form' also carries information. And after all the brouhaha we've been seeing lately regarding concepts like Freedom, Privacy, Censorship, Snooping and the like, it's no wonder some fellow commentards despair when reading news like this and, in a moment of weakness, resort to foul language. I'm well known myself for having behaved in a similar manner on occassions.
On a side note: This lass Mizzulina looks to me like Louella Parsons reincarnation on steroids. Who, in the FSM's name, chose/elected/supported her for her role at the Committee for Family, Women, and Children?
And regarding the honorable Chairman of the Moscow Regional Bar Association, Professor Sergei Smirnov...
These Russian baristas are really brilliant! And they choose their chairmen based on his surname!* ;^)
*Note: They don't choose them for their brains, as is made obvious by his declaration. “Obscene language offends both children and adults”.
When I was a young child, I don't remember being offended by foul language, except for brief moments, that were usually followed by bursts of laughter and sometimes even some note-taking. And everyone else seemed to be doing more or less the same. The tricky part for children was knowing when and where they could and couldn't use profanity. A little bit more difficult than potty training. And it also needs, you know... training.
