---snip---
Oliver Stone: As you know, Ive been very rebel all my life. Still am. And I have to tell you, Im shocked by some of the behaviors and the thinking of the new generation. It takes so much for granted. And so much of the argument, so much of the thinking, so much of the newspaper, television commentaries about gender, people identify themselves, and social media, this and that, Im male, Im female, Im transgender, Im cisgender. It goes on forever, and there is a big fight about who is who. It seems like we miss the bigger point.
Vladimir Putin: They live too well. They have nothing to think about.
Oliver Stone: Yeah, but its not a healthy culture.
Vladimir Putin: Well, yes.
Oliver Stone: Years ago when we were talking about homosexuality, you said that in Russia we dont propagate it.
Vladimir Putin: Not exactly. We have a law banning propaganda among minors.
Oliver Stone: Yes, thats the one Im talking about. It seems like maybe thats a sensible law.
Vladimir Putin: It is aimed at allowing people to reach maturity and then decide who they are and how they want to live. There are no restrictions at all after this.

Dude, a human's sexuality has NOTHING to do with reaching maturity, and these restrictions you will lift, seriously, go fuck a duck.
Stone is a needy creep.
