one member of st petersburg's legislative assembly is trying to get child beauty pageants banned in russia starting with his hometown you know i couldn't agree more with this gent on this issue these kids' beauty pageants not only put a ton of pressure on children to achieve something absolutely pointless but they're also a pedophile's dream come true and are well very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because with you like it or not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits let's just say active poses yet that's called sex lies and children and it's disgusting although adult beauty pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults so see it because beauty pageants are obviously related to sexuality should be able to participate in them until you reach the age of consent in your country otherwise it is just a pedophile buffet but that's just my opinion. there's
5:26 pm

5:28 pm
substantiate your claim with a number of medical reports could you present them to me so far you have only presented a medical report from professor going to check us clinic or so i thought that report would be enough if i didn't think i'd need anything else if you refer to it as a medical statement than you need to have a document proving this clinic really is a magic oregon has ation authorized to issue such reports. i don't have such a document will you be able to present it yes i think so when will you be able to present it like can't say exactly date i'll have to submit a request in five days ten how many. about ten probably it's hard to say exactly when the cases are joined to the ninth of september if the clinic refuses to provide you with the necessary documents contect asked the court to all sign an inquiry. didn't it surprise you that they claim you could go on to
5:29 pm
request from new yes it did i don't know why they didn't reply it's so strange i can't comment i don't know what happened or if i had the opportunity i would have done it myself what are you going to do next we sure would we're not going to call the clinic and the local registry office try to explain the situation because it's delaying the surgery.
