that's not the average American, just because Russian life expectancy is on average 10 years lower than other countries because of rampant alcoholism doesn't mean I think the average Russian is a bumbling drunk, they are just the unique challenges we each face and we should respect each other for our struggles not be conversationalists like our governments.

Я из России.

Раньше по официальным сведениям было 171 утонувших.Сейчас по новостям сообщают о 162 погибших за весь период.Это второй случай воскрешения(причём массового)в истории человечества после Иисуса.

Абсолютно все люди во всех интервью говорят,что их никто не предупреждал.Чиновники спасали своё имущество.Утонувшим(они не были пьяны) ставят диагноз "сердечная недостаточность".Это даёт возможность не выплачивать компенсацию.Очевидцы говорят о 1500-2000 утонувших.Правительство врёт.

@shenriquez1221 I agree. @shenriquez1221 I don't know. I would be more than willing to donate to these people. I don't care about their corrupt governments or drunken people. I choose to have compassion for all fellow human beings. If I can, I will try anything to help anyone; no matter eho they are or where they're from. Having a heart for othrrs is not selective, it is unconditional.
