    Pubertal is also a valid adjective and a synonymous of pubescent.

You want to argue with him, then get down at his level. Just write goo-goo gaa-gaa-gaa, string some unusual words together from a dictionary in a meaningless sentence and that's done. Just slightly reflect on that.

    If it was right at the time, then it should be right all time dude - but I am sure your City lobbyists will pay handsomely to revert this ban as soon as they can - good thing there won't be many of them left

    But then I didn't attend the Moscow Special Needs School for Delusional Fantasists, so possibly I missed out.

    Well, he deserved to own it in my view. He was a bit of a sad murderer type but that happened like what hundreds of years ago.

    There is nothing blind about it.

    I came to this country after Russian default in 1998 when currency dropped and banks went bust (well in a Russian way - owner takes depositors money out and then liquidates bank while leaving nothing to depositors then allows his son buy sport car manufacturer in another country, ultimately bankrupting it too), we took our money from banks before crisis and exchanged currency too - so I think I've got a bit more knowledge then you when it comes to detecting future economic problems.

    The fact of the matter is that it does not even matter if politicians are misguided in this action - they did something that you and some others regularly accuse me of being "communist" about, yet those guys are as capitalist as they get and they cracked down on shorters - the only problem I have with this attitude is that they should have done it long time ago before crisis started.

    Which shows you were talking crap in the first place.
