Ahmadinejad's sex scandal
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems...5/s1912815.htm
Ahmadinejad under fire for embracing his old teacher
At a ceremony on Tuesday ahead of Iranian teachers' day, Mr Ahmadinejad was photographed and filmed by state media stooping to kiss the woman's hand and then clasping her arms in an embrace.
The ultra-conservative Hezbollah newspaper, which is not related to the group in Lebanon of the same name, criticised him on the front page.
"The Muslim Iranian people have no recollection of such acts contrary to sharia law during Islamic rule [since the 1979 revolution]," it said.
"This type of indecency progressively has grave consequences, like violating religious and sacred values."
The elderly woman, who was not named, wore thick gloves along with a headscarf and long black coat, meaning that Mr Ahmadinejad avoided any skin contact.
But his action raised eyebrows because according to sharia law, it is forbidden for a man to have any physical contact with a woman to whom he is not related.

I advice you to avoid sentences having the word 'thunk' in it. You don't want any trouble, believe me. Next time I won't be so polite so watch your step.

Actually, maybe it indicates that Ahmadinejad is entering disgrace. If the ultra-conservative newspapers are allowed to lambast him about this "scandal" (that would require the mullahs' agreement), then Ahmadinejad might be utterly pwnd in the next elections, having neither the reform nor the reactionary vote.

What's wrong with thunks?
Ahmadinejad should show some respect and restrain himself from such innapropriate behaviour!
Two points, two flats, and a packet of gravel please.
Can I have a packet of gravel too mum, I mean dad?
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
I never took interest in these questions during my studies, but I recall reading / hearing that the case is different with elderly women, who are not considered sexual, just like it is a different case with little girls for the same reason, do not have to wear burkas...
Shari'ah rests on fall premises, but is mostly logical and often influenced by common sense.

You don't need a coat. You're as asexual as a little child or 100 yo grandma.
I'm trying to be reasonable. I don't like the idea of shari'ah, but it's not like it was created (only) by people with no brains. Often it shows a lot of common sense. For example, it forbids creating images of men, but that does not apply to toys.

Ok, so where is the common sense in this?

Another reason the West is superior - our sex scandals are more lurid.

Just goes to show that even Ahmedinejad is relatively moderate compared to some Iranians...

C'mon! Find a better example than that toy thing. That doesn't prove common sense.
How much longer can we, the west, hold out against their indefatiguable shield of morality? Isn't it obvious that we are destined to destroy ourselves in a morass of depravity while their virtuous nations soldier on after we're gone? Shall we not embrace our doom even as we salute our more worthy successors?

I thought Fox news was really, really desperate for something to fill the day's tabloids with when I saw that article. Think: hobbies, fitness, MMA, comic books.... there are a lot of things that can fight boredom people. Don't sink to the level of squabbling over a kiss on a hand someone did years ago.
Here is an interesting scenario to check out. The Vietnam war is cool.
