"Too many women go to restaurants," he said. "What kind of example do they show to their children? From now on, we will arrest all women we find in restaurants and cafes."

"Too many women go to restaurants," he said. "What kind of example do they show to their children? From now on, we will arrest all women we find in restaurants and cafes."

When I read that, I was like 'what the heck??', thats some major anti-feminism going on there.

Also, the whole article made me think of the term 'wild west justice', or maybe 'mob justice' would be more appropriate.

[Helgoland]

Kangaroo courts are a small price to pay to protect yourselves from tyranny!

I'll remember this, it's great!

And smj, you'd use any term containing 'justice' not preceded by 'in' to describe these trials?

[mainiac]

Macropodocracy is best -ocracy.

'wild west justice' and 'mob justice' is also injustice depending on your perspective, those are just the terms.

Kangaroos are macropods. Big feet see?

"Too many women go to restaurants," he said. "What kind of example do they show to their children? From now on, we will arrest all women we find in restaurants and cafes."

That phrase is took out of context.

The context being that one of two persons (who has accused of raping a women) has called her a slut for going to a restaurant to try to justify their actions.

And that phrase is the ironic retort to that idea by Mozgovoy.

Seriously, do you seriously think Russians would ban women to go to restaurants? The only reason the restaraunts exist in Russia is to invite beatiful women into them for a nice evening!

That's not anti-feminism, guys.

A photo regarding MH17 being shot down by something like su-27, possibly fake, is lurking the social networks.

[da_nang]

Su-27 is 21.9 m long; Boeing 777-200ER is 63.7 m long. All in all, the Boeing is roughly three times longer. On the pic, it's closer to six times (eyeballing).

Assume that the camera objective is far away enough such that it's practically an orthogonal projection on the horizontal plane. Let x be the pitch of the Su-27 relative to the horizon.

cos(x) = (L/6)/(L/3) = 1/2 where L is the length of the Boeing.

x = arccos(1/2) = 60º.

The Su-27 doesn't look to be going anywhere near that.

EDIT: Compare

Some politicians want to rename the province of Antwerp "Middle-Brabant"
So somebody made this:

This is even more fake, if you notice the city of Donetsck with the runway in the background. The runway is 4 km long. The Boeing is 64 m. But their angular sizes nearly match, which means, that the photo must have been taken from something like 160 m above. No satellites fly there, obviously. Unless maybe from another plane, or photoshopped.

[10ebbor10]

I'm quite sure the picture says Mig-29.

[Sheb]

Yeah, I was going to point that one out.  The point still stand, if anything the Mig-29 is smaller than the Su-27.

[miljan]

That picture is fake, and the plane on it is su 27, but it doesn't matter really as it is clearly photoshop.
