Welcome... Internet Superstar.
Well at least you appear to want to discuss the issues, albeit in your awkward way. Awkward because you seem to want to know my opinion on several questions without revealing your own opinion. In my experience that's usually an indication of trouble coming.
Some people in Iran are being abused if we are to judge them according to Canadian standards, which of course we have no right to do. According to US standards that should be left to speculation as even Habeus Corpus is being thrown out the window now. Of course it's evident to me that you really don't care for the people of Iran in the least as opposed to your feeling that we should be able to dictate through aggression on will on others. And of course we have no right to drag people into the modern day in order to satisfy ourselves that we must be on the side of right and all others must be wrong if they differ from us in any way.
I won't comment on the Shah of Iran because it's obvious to me that anyone who can't spell the word correctly won't have an opinion on the matter that's worthy of my time. If you would like to present an informed opinion on that U.S./Western imposed dictatorship then read up on the issue and get back to me.
As for discussions on the wearing of the Burqa, you should perhaps read up on that issue too and ascertain whether or not the people in Arabic countries are wearing the Burqa as a personal religious choice or it is being pressed on women by the male population. Your new information may surprise you!
Sorry I can't comment further but your lack of expressing your own opinion sort of left me cold.
We can see right here, that religion, whatever religion you do, is just insane, and iran is a good exemple of it,Pat Robertson called for the assasination of Hugo Chavez, the only leader in the world who has balls, an american gay was crucified on a fense,and was left dead, during the death ceremony, some fundamentalist christian went to the ceremony and protested, with sign written"god hates fags" "aids cure fags"
Iran are leaded by extremist zealots, which is tragic, however it is not a reason to make war.
Remember the CIa operation code name ajax, which was a covert operation to overthrow Iran's government in 1953 the military coup that returned the shah of Iran to power and toppled Iran's elected prime minister, an greath iran-nationalist.
Do you think it is about time to debate on what the cia are good at?
Well now that I have become a part of it, at least temporarily, it's my right to judge. I've not really given much opinion so far but from first glance it doesn't appear to differ all that much from some of the other forums in which I have taken part. Interesting avatar you have there. I've found that people are often judged by the appearance of their avatar, rightly or wrongly I should think, but there's no escaping the fact that it's true.
It's true that I am an ape. The same is true of you.
Judge me as much as you like, but the fact is you came in here with a very unpleasant attitude, whereas i've been here for years and most of the members quite like me. Didn't your mother ever tell you it's rude to judge others prematurely?

I didn't imply that you were an ape and of course you're not, even though we are closely related to chimps and bonobos. I did say that impressions are formed of people from their avatars. And no need to go on the attack so soon with comments relating to what I learned from my mother.
And BTW, if the members like you then I may have judged you wrong from the few posts of yours I've seen so far. I hope that's no indication of what the members come to think of me if I post messages with some substance as opposed to personal attacks against others and flaunting the number of inane comments I've been able to rack up on this forum. On forums which I have taken part I have always tended to look upon those who have something worthwhile to say as opposed to those who babble on more frequently.
WRONG. Humans ARE apes. More people ought to realise that they are in fact apes. I am an ape and i'm happy to admit it.
My first post to you was an angry one, i'll admit. You took a pot-shot at a friend of mine, without any good reason. You first criticized his post, without any reference to the rules, stating that you knew better than out admin and mods what the rules should be. Then you went on to assume an opinion for him and attack it. I took this as being very rude.
Don't you think it's rude to put words into someone's mouth and then attack them?

some of us can handle the "noise". Some of us even find them useful. Sometimes it's quicker to recognise someone by an image than by text.
true. I get confused with the guy who uses the avatar kreskin used.
I know you strongly disapprove of fun, but that's also a part of what the avatars provide.

Now you have got it tamarin! They create noise and I suspect that you understand what you mean when you say noise. I would much rather be judged on what I say as opposed to what an avatar depicts. And of course an ape doesn't depict an idiot behind the avatar but instead relays a subtle message that the user is clever. Of course some of us look at it and come to the conclusion that the user is not clever at all as opposed to seeking attention. I think that's the purpose of avatars when it comes right down to it.
actually to be fair I change my avatar regularly. Usually because I found a picture I like. I don't intend to send anyone much of a message except possibly that I have a sense of humour.
Educate yourself on the connotation of the word 'ape' and get back to me. Or preferably don't bother because I see there is nothing to be gained in talking to you.

an official brandishing a cane repeatedly lashes the back of a man found guilty of breaking Iran's morality laws.
Wow - sounds almost as bad as Stacey Koon beating the sh*t out of Rodney King or of the thousands of instances of brutality boasted of by Mark Fuhrmann, each of which was done with impunty and called heroic by Rush Limbaugh.

I suspect from the Iranians I've talked to, that most Iranians are awaiting a moderate leader, that is the way their society is going. As someone said, there is drinking there, and women walk about in plain clothes without much fear. That aside, every once in a while it seems the Government there has to make an example. I suspect if we leave them alone, they will come out alright.
Poking the lion in the Cage (ie. giving the radical/fundamentalists new zeal by invading) will only make matters worse, and destroy the forward momentum they have in Iran.

On the bright side, you won't be flogged or put to death for having just said that. In fact, you can make it a campaign platform and run for office.
That's the difference. It's an important one.
