"Committee on Family, Women and Children" was a standard Soviet pressure-tool for dissimination of propaganda and criticism of NATO nations at any convenience. See also "Committee of Peace".

I even tried KOI-8R -- it does not work.
I think it is because you can get so many "interesting" symbols from a standard unicode table to represent almost anything, but than again -- Slashdot was never censored.
I agree. To prohibit such speech, they have to implement Censorship. it is an excuse to take away even more liberty.

Snowden probably does not know yet, but Russians are very much interested in American government secrets. He just might find himself on a fourth floor of Lyubyanka, in a padded room without windows (Lyubyanka is former KGB headquaters, now FSB, did not have a basement jail).
You probably trolling. But just in case you are simply naive or stupid, please remember that Russians care a lot less than American government about what they can force or can not force him to accept, much less than American government.
Must disagree. Movie -- maybe was too bad to tie up a plot, which made some scenes and themes irrelevant while others were elevated to primary (and much of the book plot was somewhat changed), but anyone who read Zhivago would recognize that Pasternak wrote a great book with a solid plot comparative to Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. But than again, movies sometimes distort books.
This cartoon was written by Moore and produced by Harold Moss. Not by Trey Parker / Matt Stone. There was a whole stink about it from them because Moore made it appear as though it is by the South Park creators. It was not done by them.
Has anyone ever thought that the Oracle might be evil?
This technology does not do good enough translation because the output is a gibberish. Someone who is a native Spanish speaker would be able to tell exactly what "because water falls "jaja"" means. Direct and indirect meanings, whatever it might mean.
1. The speaker could be talking about a waterfall
2. The speaker could be talking about a play
3. The speaker could be hinting on something sexual.
In this small context we do not know, especially since "jaja" is not in a standard dictionary but most likely is a cultural reference, and pneumatically we can only guess what it means. (btw, could it be jojo and the guy than saying that water falls up and down?)
and yes I agree with the poster above -- you are being a troll here.
That's why I'll never go buy Stephen King's books or movies, and will never watch movies made by Oliver Stone, or frankly watch anything that has these guys in there.
" I guess he didn't see this film and the box-office importance of wide appeal coming, did he?"
Guess what? Majority of the public are not crazy-gay-rights advocates but a normal middle-of-the-road Americans. They could care less of what you think.
That's great! It means we (the Americans) won't be blamed due to atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I actually mentioned Bradbury.
Well than let me turn your argument against you. There are many more male homosexuals then female homosexuals. Therefore more females would be left unable to find themselves permanent (don't want to say "mates") partners. That means we can technically engage in polygamy.
And even if we do have population discrepancy (someone has 7 wives), whom to say we can not have polyandry and have a woman take 7 husbands? Everything would than equal out and frankly your argument would be moot.
Who said anything about bestiality or pedophilia? You must be a one sick puppy to even mention them why we can't allow them.
Of course there is infringement of rights. It takes a form of bullying, persecution, public denunciations, baiting, badgering, defamation -- all in a press, on the internet, on TV and radio, being a subject to public campaigns and boycotts.
