What happened to morals? Why are people defending these disgusting women? Why? Has the world become THAT liberal? If we can accept these girls, who by the way have stuff frozen chicken in their vagina, have sex in a museum with the chicken or something like that, and done so many more disgusting wrong things, then I guess the world is soon going to accept EVERYTHING, ect. Maybe even pedophiles. Look at it this way;
Gays were viewed as a plague: jump forward to 2012 and gays are breaking the world in storm.
Pedophiles are viewed as a plague : jump forward when everything's turned far liberal and .... ?
Just interesting to think about.
There needs to be a BOUNDARY. It's no wonder my country's young generation (which I am part of) is going down the sewers. They don't know boundaries.

By the way, the church has freedom to worship PEACEFULLY. Not be bombarded by some stupid ridiculous young people. So who disrespected who? The pussy riot of course, disrespected the peaceful worshippers. Unbelievable yet people think it's 'ok'.

and I would like to point out...again....we have a group of religious wackos running around the US protesting funerals for crying out loud.....
and well....many here on the boards who are speaking out about how wrong this is, would also be defending these wackos rights to protest the funerals also.......would they be a tad bit outraged, yes...
but, they would still defend their rights, since if we were to give up on their rights, regardless of how offensive they may be, well, we all know that our own right to free speech would be in question soon afterwards.

there is no, if this were to happen in an american church we'd all feel differently. some might, but I got a feeling that most wouldn't. the sanctuary of a church is no more sacred than the sanctuary that surrounds a funeral..
those church members are still being allowed to roam the country, outside of the citizens who take it upon themselves to create a human shield to buffer the families of the dead from the wackos....
they aren't spending time in jail!!

god we got stupid kids organizing online and mob attacking stores, clearing out the inventory, and I bet none of those stupid kids are gonna be getting two years in jail for that offense, even the ones that are of legal age to be considered adults...

sometimes, you just got to accept the fact that the kids and younger adults will do some pretty stupid things, it;s how they learn to be adults! ya know, trial and error, and all that.

Because no one cares about your "morals" if individual freedoms are taken away, it weighs, EXCUSE ME, much more if a 20 year old young person with kids is jailed away for 2 years simply for stating their opinion...as opposed to disturbing someone's religious mass for a minute singing a protest song. What is more important for you? Living in a "moral" society where people do not have any freedom anymore and the gvt can simply decide to lock away/or kill anyone because of an inconvenient opinion? PROOF how detached you religious people are already with your "pseudo morale". What's your dream society? A society of god fearing and bible banging believers which doesn't tolerate individual opinions anymore? NO THANKS!!

In the Criminal code of the Federal Republic of Germany rowdy antics in the limits of worship premises, also punishable by deprivation of liberty for up to three years or a fine, and the "article 189 of the Criminal code of the Republic of Austria provides for a in the premises of the Church of hooliganism and insulting the moral feelings, punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty for a term up to six months or a fine in the size of the

the same in Finland

This is true from what i read, but then i also *think* that the Russians are still very conditioned to "agree" with the government, they have been conditioned to do so for decades.

80% Russian dnt support that government

action is attack on religion and nothing more

This my friends is why I am still proud and feel lucky to be an American....Sure we have Big Brother, but at least for the time being we have free speech. I mean yes we need to be somewhat careful about certain things we do, but I can pretty much guarantee you there are bands out there with a more violent anti government message than this band. The difference is in America we are still somewhat protected compared to some other country's. If this were to happen in America I think there would be an uprising of people against it like we have never seen before. I am not a protester, but if this were to happen here I know that I would take a stand. I do feel so badly for these poor girls, who were merely expressing themselves and their candle was put out. Now I am going to have to find an import of their music and buy it, even if I hate the music. Just to show my support.

Also, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has been arrested too. He could face jail for biting a cops, a charge that he denied.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's top Orthodox clerics on Saturday asked for mercy for the punk band Pussy Riot for its anti-government protest in a Moscow cathedral, but the church's forgiveness is unlikely to change the band's punishment in a case that caused an international furor over political dissent.

Despite its plea for clemency for the three rock activists, a leading cleric called the demonstration "awful" and defiant of the powerful church that is the heart of Russia's national identity.

It's well known that the Russian government is a dictatorship disguised as democracy.
I have spoken with allot of recent russian emmigrants and all them tell me the system is rotten to the core and that the elections are fixed, if you watched the news there was a big protest in moscow in this last one.

This may be the last straw and a start of a big fire

2 years jail time was stupid .

No jail time but instead a really hefty fine ( payable as a community service ) would of made a one proud Rodina .

Really? So "God" and the church are so insecure that they can't take a little criticism? Would Jesus have thrown those women into prison for speaking up? Remember, this is the same guy that (according to the fairy tale/myth) overthrew the tax collector's tables outside of the church. The Hypochristians are sooo over-sensitive these days.
I guess that they like to tell everyone else how to live, but can't stand to have anyone call them on their own BS.
Go grab a Chik-Fil-A, you'll be back to self-righteous in no time!
