V8,

The believer and non-believer cannot,IMHO,explain their beliefs satisfactorily to each other.

The way to defeat this movie is to not see it.

.............the story has been written for hundreds of years....

And re-written a multitude of times...........by Kings, Queens, Popes and others to suit their personal agendas.....

Another re-write at this late date is not something to waste any energy on.

He has this to say about his stunts...

Я родился, жил и может быть уже вырос в этом славном городе. В стольном граде формировалось мое увлечение. Первый раз залез на здание, кран, подрался, попал в милицию, первые попытки делать видео. Город в котором я мог умереть тысячу раз, где почувствовал себя свободным, место смешных и грустных историй, впечатлений и опыта.

I was born, lived, and grew up in this glorious city. In the capital city is my passion. First time climbed the building crane, a fistfight broke out and I was taken to police cell. These are my first attempts at doing video. The city where I could die a thousand times where felt free, funny and sad stories, impressions and experiences.

Но я рад, что всё больше людей понимают: я не «crazy russian kid», а иногда и «kids», я Українець.

But I'm glad that more and more people understand that I'm not crazy russian kid, I Ukraïnec′.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania became the site of the worst violence. Thomas Alexander Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad, often considered one of the first robber barons, suggested that the strikers should be given "a rifle diet for a few days and see how they like that kind of bread." However, local law enforcement officers refused to fire on the strikers. Several militia units did turn out, including the 3rd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment under the command of Colonel George R. Snowden.

Scott's suggestion came to pass on July 21, when militiamen bayoneted and fired on rock-throwing strikers, killing twenty people and wounding twenty-nine. Rather than quell the uprising however, this action merely infuriated the strikers who then forced the militiamen to take refuge in a railroad roundhouse, and then set fires that razed 39 buildings and destroyed 104 locomotives and 1,245 freight and passenger cars. On July 22, the militiamen mounted an assault on the strikers, shooting their way out of the roundhouse and killing 20 more people on their way out of the city. After over a month of constant rioting and bloodshed, President Rutherford B. Hayes sent in federal troops to end the strikes.
