How long before someone in the South Korean Congress introduces a bill like this?
| Quote: |
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russians who marry foreigners could be exiled and stripped of their citizenship under a bill being drafted by a group of members of parliament, a deputy said Sunday.
One of the bill's authors, Duma deputy Nikolai Kuryanovich, a member of the ultra-nationalist LDPR party, admitted parliament was unlikely to approve the measures but insisted they were necessary. "Our women, the most beautiful and best in the world, are going abroad. By doing this, they are wasting the most valuable thing we have -- the gene pool of our nation," Kuryanovich told Ekho Moskvy radio.
But while condemning women for going abroad, he also said he did not want people bringing foreign spouses to Russia either.
Newly-weds would be forced to go and live in the country where their spouses were from, Kuryanovich said, to protect Russia from "an invasion of alien elements."
"Adapting to life in Russia ... foreigners impose their own rules, which are unacceptable to us," he said.
Since the fall of Communism, the numbers of Russians marrying foreigners has increased significantly and a poll cited in respected magazine Ogonyok last year said one in three 17 to 25-year-old girls wanted to marry a foreigner and live abroad.
The LDPR party's leader, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, is known as a maverick who enjoys stirring up controversy and has traded punches with fellow deputies during parliamentary sittings.

russians I've met have often been pretty hard core racists, despite being OK in other ways.
Its hardly surprising that they find a strong voice there. |

| Russians aren't that bad, but there is an incredibly strong streak of paranoia pervading the society. |

Come on, somebody take a crack at the OP's question.
I personally wouldn't know, but I will say this: There'll be more than a few angry farmers in Cholla should that day ever come. |

| I hope it comes here soon. It will reinforce the xenophics that live here. |

| Russia has a problem with Russian girl prostitution. It should be alarming to them that Russian girl = prostitute. I don't think they enjoy making a living that way none the less, they seem to crack down on the female because that what they always do, you can push women around etc and its easier than changing the economy. |

I was talking to a Russian girl in Geckos Itaewon once.
She was asking me why so many Americans/Canadians/Brits/Aussies/etc. MEN date and so interested in Korean women. She was telling me that Russian men have no interest in Korean women whatsoever.
I always remembered that. Consistently true on both accounts. |

You must have listened to that marxist prof a little more closely than you should have. |
