Just a matter of time until the Iran people get fed up with these idiots.

Wow... This is the most randomest thing ive heard yet. the funny thing is that i have several relatives who live in Iran. After talkin to them, they were as shocked as me :S

Reminds me of an article that i read from the NATIONAL POST that said how Iran was makin every citizen wear colored clothing depending on what was their religion, a christian was to wear black, a jew was to wear blue, etc (these are guesses not excatly sure which color they were) anyways a day later wen we discuss this article in class (world issues) i found out that it was written to promote discrimination and hatred. and other newspapers such as the TORONTO STAR published another article statin how the NATIONAL POST's article was just BS.

so lets see how this turns out to be

Err, hasn't France been doing the same thing for a long time now? The Walkman became the "Baladeur" for example.

Yeap, some other words too. Emails, chewing gum, etc....

Try reading this book as I have had several times; Nazism is more than the holocoust, it was also about the suppression of free thoughts and liberties.

I think fascism would be a better descriptor. I'd say what seperated Nazism with Facsism is that the former had a strong focus towards anti-Semitism.

Of course you can argue that Iran does have a tilt towards anti-semitism, although I see it more as an anti-Israel/anti-zionism stance.

Regardless, it's just semantics. I'd like to see a revolution in Iran soon.

I'd like to see one in Zimbabwe More. I've lived there for six years, and I tell you it was certainly the best place in Africa, very beautiful, very nice people, but its all messed up now. Iran is one country which follows true Shia culture internally, and if its gets too modernised/westernised(?) all that might fade away. Besides, who wants to see western culture everywhere they go, its good to have places that are different.

from the dictionary:

Nazism: a form of socialism featuring racism and expansionism and obedience to a strong leader

Calling a whole country fucked is racist, its offensive to me, i dont know why you say that, i dont see anything wrong with the country. Id say USA is the fucked up country fucking around with everyone else. I was talking about their culture and if you think that Shia culture is fucked up then fuck you. I was answering to firecats post about there being a revolution, you ignorant being
