Re: I would be happy with Putin as...

Exactly. Well said, Gatekeeper. Russia/Ukraine/Eastern Europe at one time seemed more pedophile-friendly than the West and Putin seemed OK to me since RT covered a fair amount of civil libertarian issues in the US/West that the mainstream media didn't, but I haven't been happy with the anti-pedophile, anti-gay tone that's been adopted lately by them. The only good thing I can think of is that maybe the fact that they bash gay people while calling them "pedophiles" might help wake some people up to the fact that prejudice against pedophiles is basically a reenactment of how homosexuals have been treated and it hasn't and won't work with pedophiles any more than it worked with gay people.
