Does the sun revolve around the Earth? One in every three Russians thinks so, a spokeswoman for state pollster VsTIOM said on Friday.

In a survey released this week, 32 percent of Russians believed the Earth was the center of the Solar system; 55 percent that all radioactivity is man-made; and 29 percent that the first humans lived when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.

There's plenty of people on this forum who believe dinosaurs and humans coexisted.

I 'believe' they coexisted, but the humans were not in flesh gravity held bodies. I sure know that the dinosaurs are not part of the humans family tree as is claimed by the so called hot steamy single cell primordial pot cults.

Thinking while reading your very good post, about Bosnia.

And about the fact, we (Clinton actually) supported in that conflict in Bosnia, the very same side which supported Hitler in WWII...

Rather how we’re once again repeating past mistakes, this very day.

Try the product of Commie Schools. Busy teaching the evils of Capitalism.

Russia is a capitalist society and has been one for nearly two decades. The only people pining for a return to communism are the pensioners. Young people want nothing to do with this and they certainly don't teach it in the schools. Young Russian boys dream of being business tycoons. These are the Alpha Males and oligarchs in modern Russia. They date movie stars and fashion models. Young Russian girls dream of marrying a business tycoon or at least being a mistress to one.

American kids, on the other hand, dream of being rappers, athletes or landing a gig on the next season of Jersey Shore.

Just of curiosity, what sort of humans bodies aren't made of flesh or affected by gravity?

That is absolutely misleading article.
No less than a half of all Americans will tell you the same if you ask them.

The flesh body was formed/created as the vessel for which the soul/spirit to inhabit during the flesh age journey. The 'memory' of time before is not accessible in the flesh body. The 'composition' of the non-flesh body has yet to be discovered. But there has been discovery of footprints that look just like present flesh bodied humans that could not have been left behind by a flesh body. Flesh eyesight is not capable to 'see' into that dimension.

And those Russians are absolutely correct: when you sit under a tree and the sun hits the bottle of vodka just right, you can clearly tell from the refraction angle that that particular bottle is at the center of the universe, and the sun revolves around it...

“The celestial math works out fine for an earth-centric universe.

It’s all relative.”

In fact, you can work out the math to show that the entire universe revolves around YOU. Or me. Or anyone else.

But the simplest math shows that sun orbits the center of the galaxy, the Earth orbits the sun, and we crawl on the Earth...

That’s why Russian guns are such great guns. They were built so that these simple minded peasants could take them apart, and put them back together again without being able to understand printed directions.

Well they don’t have horrid schools. Many kids are speaking perfect English by age ten and are on to the next language.
Maybe this is the older population.
