The old or new Soviet union?

On the moon?

On the moon?

What?

 

[Father Heathen]

What?

The location of the "new soviet union", of course.

Ok, how about what was formerly known as the Soviet union?
Geez, I have to explain everything.

I think some people call that land "Russia."

Because it isn't "the new soviet union". If I meant current day Russia, I would've said so.

Sorry, but your opinion is a bit naive. Your right to speak freely is limited by the equal rights of everyone else not to be harmed or harassed by your actions, including your speech.

Thank you for your reply but, I disagree. I was talking about freedom of speech, not the permission to speak freely.

Well, that's certainly a distinction without a difference.
