Really, how could you not? Unless you're just retardedly swept up in ideology over music   Angry
It seems there are enough baboons who perceive oppositional political views as a sufficient excuse for repressions.

Bнимaниe! Caution! Achtung! Typical demotard has been detected in the thread! Cheesy

Q: What's the difference between democrat and demotard?
A: Oh it is quite simple, demotard won't accept any criticism of his point of view.


Any demotard thinks that criticism is enough to label you as the propagandist and apply some repressive measures... Which is nothing but another proof of his weakness. C'mon, you guys are such a joke. Grin

Congratulations to the people of Canada, they've got their portion of fascism.

Stephen Harper, the current Canadian Prime Minister is extremely unpopular, and is resorting to desperate actions in order to stay in limelight. His popularity is at an all time low. Now he is trying to evoke Russophobia, in order to distract the media and public from his scandals.
