Really? Where exactly did Dave say that “the product weighed 50% less than the label stated“? Quote form his text please. Dave Essel wrote:
“I have just today been comparing two brands of crispbread, one Russian and one imported. The imported one costs 50% more for a packet of the same approximate volume. Only problem with the Russian one is that having got it home, I now notice it weighs at least 50% less (I’ve been ripped off on the actual content, which is mostly air) while quality-wise the imported item is made of best rye flour and the Russian one is a nasty mix of air and biscuit.“
He doesn’t even mention the word “label’ at all. What he says is that the “Russian” crispbread weighs 50% less than the “imported” one.
“Guess you were too stupid to understand plain English….“
You guessed wrong. But that’s what happens to all apes who cannot think, cannot read and have to rely on blind guessing. When was the first time the doctors diagnosed a severe mental deficiency in you? Was it the result of your mother dropping you on the cement floor, or were you born that way, Andrew?
You have been through the same motions many times before, constantly accusing others of mathematical stupidity and “lying”, only to find out that it is you who suffers from severe mathematical/logical inadequacy and of non-existent reading comprehension.
Like the time when you couldn’t comprehend the concept of per capita averaging and stupidly accused me of math deficiency using such epithets as “Obviously maths is not Ostaps strongpoint… Learn to read bender boy.“. It took me three of four excruciating rounds of explanations before you finally understood this concept.
Or the time when on May 1, 2010 at 9:53 am I posted direct quotes from Yury Foreman that he is a Russian Jew:
“In Russia, I was a Jew. In Israel, I was a Russian… We went to Haifa City Hall and begged for a little place for a Russian Jew to put up a ring. They told us ‘go box with the Arabs….You are a Russian Jew and they know that. They were trying to hurt you,” Foreman says of the fighters training there.
But you kept on throwing one hysterical fit after another all day on May 1 and on May 2, claiming that you couldn’t understand what these quotes meant:

“RTR, you said he was a “Russian Jew”. You were lying. Show us where he calls himself a “Russian Jew”… Oops, looks like Voice of Retardation got caught lying again….. Show us where he calls himself a “Russian Jew”. So far you have provided no evidence.”
Why do I need to waste my time trying to explain simple math and logic to a mentally challenged child like you?
Here is my reply to Andrew about the Georgian pilot:
What do you want me to tell you about my meeting at a party with this pilot earlier this year? What do you mean by his “credentials”? Are you asking if he, like your father-in-law, graduated with an “engineering degree” from the Moscow University, which doesn’t have engineering departments, or if he was voted “the best number one engineering student in all of USSR” by the Politburo, as you claimed that your father-in-law did:
“My father in law got a scolarship to Moscow University in 1960. He also finished his engineering course top of the class, and was the no.1 engineering student of his graduation year in the USSR.” / Andrew on September 14, 2009 at 8:23 am/
No, this pilot was not a compulsive liar like yourself and did NOT claim to graduate with an “engineering degree” from the Moscow University and was NOT voted “the best number one engineering student in all of USSR”. What else do you want me to tell you about my meeting with him?
Andrew,
Let me repeat the question for you:
Please give me a link to a video where they confess on camera or a link to direct quotes where these people confess to a court hearing, a press conference or a respectable journalist. All they “confessed” to is being from Russia. Nobody admitted being spies at all. Nobody. Yes, the prosecutors and the FBI claim that some had “confessed to being spies”, but who told you that the prosecutors and the FBI never lie? Prosecutors always spin evidence in order to win cases and if the defendant admits: “I am a Russian”, the prosecutor will spin it to mean that he confessed to be a Russian spy.
What is there to argue about? These people have already had their day in court, and all of them were convicted of nothing more than one
His name was Vakhtang, as I recall.

I have flown on Aeroflot as recently as 2004.
I can categorically state that it was the most unprofessional service I have ever used.
They have a terrible safety record, including crashes cause by drunk pilots, and one where a plane crashed because the pilot let his child take the controls, putting the aircraft into an unrecoverable spin.

“One of the suspects in the Russia spy scandal confessed after his arrest to working for Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service, US PROSECUTORS SAID Thursday”
You have problems with reading comprehension. He didn’t confess to working for Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service. It is the US PROSECUTURS who SAID that he had confessed to them. My entire point is that the FBI and THE PROSECUTORS WERE LYING.
All they “confessed” to the FBI, the prosecutors and the judge is being from Russia and working for some ministry or agency or company run by the Russian government, not necessarily SVR foreign intelligence service. And even that may have been done in order to be able to get their freedom and return to Russia.
Nobody publicly admitted to being a spy at all. Nobody. In the the American adversarial legal system, the prosecutors almost always spin evidence in order to win cases, and if the defendant admits: “I am an employee of the Russian government”, the prosecutor will spin it to mean that he confessed to be “an employee of the SVR foreign intelligence service”.
What is there to argue about? These people have already had their day in court, and all of them were convicted of nothing more than one count of failing to register as an employee of a foreign government. The US Attorney General said that they never engaged in espionage. Not even once. Here is the CNN report:
In Washington, Attorney General Eric Holder said none of the 10 had passed classified information and therefore none were charged with espionage. “They were acting as agents to a foreign power,” he told CBS News, referring to the Russians who had been under observation by federal authorities for more than a decade.
Which part of the Attorney General’s admission that “none had passed classified information and none were charged with espionage” do you find too hard to understand, Andrew?
To be fair, the media have given us too little reliable information about 9 out of 10 of these Russians. Thus, I can’t rule out the possibility that two or three of the arrested people were indeed initially sent by SVR but never got around to any spying in the 10 to 20 years that they were in USA. However, the media have created enough noise about the accused “ring leader” – a silly little airhead girl named Anna Chapman – to know that she was no spy and was not guilty of the rumours that the FBI had spread about her.
First of all, she was too much of a young dumb blonde or redhead to be appointed “a ring leader”. She is 28 years now. If this ring started operating about 20 years ago, as the FBI claims, Anna was 8 years old when it started. How many spy rings headed by 8 year old children do you know? Moreover, she came to USA only in 2006: 4 years ago. Second, she didn’t “assume false identity”. Her name became Chapman in 2001 when she married a British chap named Alex Chapman in Moscow. Third, she has not been hiding her Russian origins. She moved freely between London, Moscow and New York, living in Moscow as recently as in 2006. And in recent months and years, she spent much of her free time on the Russian version of the Facebook under her real name – Anna Chapman – conversing in Russian and describing in great detail her life in USA.
What spy would be so open about her Russianness? And why did the FBI spread so many lies about her and even appoint her as “the spy ring leader”?
