Iran executes 2 Gay Teens.

Az hitting the nail on the head...

If the communists had seized Iran they most certainly would have come after Kohmeini. If he had escaped he might have formed a resistance movement and may have eventually prevailed. If he prevailed there is no guarentee that he would have been greatful to the US.

I really like the unwritten axiom that the US would help anyone bar Adolf Hitler, as long as he's against the USSR.

Gepap:

I would slap you if I could for that insinuation.

a) off-topic piece of friendly advice - never post this sort of crap. It just sounds stupid - and you don't really have to look around as to the reasons why.
b) I am not insinuating anything. I am saying it clearly: you give out this vibe that you're actually quite pleased about this situation. It's opposite to what you've written, [q=Gepap]sadly[/q], but this is the vibe you're transmitting, this caricature of the anti-american poster, almost up to the level of being this sort of equivalent of the Bio-mechanical Sean Hannity comic book. I am sorry, Your posts aren't silly, or stupid, and are very well-thought out, and I like many of them. I really can't explain this, but it seems that I am not the only one getting this vibe. There are no idiots here - in all seriousness, this is a very intelligent discussion board. I don't think it's me assigning any stereotype of posting style. As I've said, I really can't explain this.

But you know what, that would have been better than pruposely betraying our supposed love of dmeocracy, which made us forever lok like massive hypocrites to Iranians.

forevers a long time, gepap. The iranian population is relatively young, and from what i read, increasingly focused on the last 25 years, not on the Shah, and certainly not on the coup of 1954.

Can we please focus on the fact that two teenagers were killed?

Least we have names and ages now.

Is that how old they were at the time of the crime, or when they were put to death?

Were they convicted of raping the 13 year old, or was that a smoke screen?

I don't give a **** about your advice. I will state my feelings clearly, and if the children here are too pathetic to deal with it, their problem, not mine. My statemnets will not be ruled by "fear" of the idiots around (Drake being a wonderful example).

First, I don;t give a **** about "vibes" either. The idea that I would find the death of gays in any way ammusing is deeply insulting.

As for this "anti-American" bull****, you know what, anyone who speaks of "anti-American" should be dragged into the street and shot for terminal stupidity, allowing us to cleanse the gene pool.

What I am sick of is the gross moral hypocracy and insanity running around, here in poly and around the world. I am sick of people talking out of their asses, without a clue about the real implications of their actions- I am sick of peop[le spouting "truths" that they have never themselves examined, to see if they actually know what the **** they are talking about.

People are free to disagree, but people who argue a case they themselves have never trully examined (their own) lower and cheapen everything, and these threads are full of crap like this. The utter insanity of anyone thinking that war (which would kill thousands) is somehow even a remotely sane action in response to such an event is either nuts, or needs to grow up and spam elsewhere.

And this happens endlessly here on Poly. People spout off their "thoughts" (if you can call the posts of certain people that) but it is painfully clear they have never even considered the basis for their statements.

And no one in Serbia alive for the last 500 years had anything to do with the fields of Kosovo.

Its called "history books".

I wonder what kind of vibes this statement's throwing out...

GePap didn't strike me as such an easy target before.

Maybe, "pray Gepap doesn't become dictator because when that happens your death will be extremely painfull and bloody"?

Yeah, that works.

There are too many negative energies in this thread. I think I'd rather leave for now.

[Drake Tungsten]

Dude, you're the one who finally broke GePap and got him to reveal his true colors. Be proud.

On a more positive note, Iran leads the Islamic world in theological justification for transsexualism and surgical gender reassignment.

When Mahyar wants to feel normal she goes to the clinic of Dr Mirjalali - Iran's leading sex-change surgeon. There are women who were men, men who were women and those like Mahyar waiting for the operation they believe will be a sort of rebirth.

Dr Mirjalali says in Europe a surgeon would do about 40 sex change operations in a decade. He's done 320 in the last 12 years in Iran.

"If you saw them out in the street you wouldn't realise that one day they were the opposite sex," he boasts.

The doctor will use parts of Mahyar's intestines to create female sex organs. He warns it involves five or six hours of difficult surgery and weeks of painful recuperation.

Mahyar loves to go to cosmetics shops - and try out new nail varnish for her long manicured nails and discuss with the amused female shop assistants the best sort of foundation cream to hide her stubbly chin.

" I want to suggest that the right of transsexuals to change their gender is a human right. "

Hojatulislam Kariminia

The sight of a man wearing make-up does turn heads on the street. Islamic tradition does not allow cross dressing - a man should only dress in male clothes. But that is not to say Iran's religious scholars are antagonistic to transsexuals.

Hojatulislam Kariminia wrote his doctoral thesis on the implications of sex-change operations for Islamic law.

He is a leading expert on questions like does a husband or wife need the permission of their spouse before a sex change operation? Is their marriage automatically annulled afterwards ? and what happens to the wife's dowry money or inheritance if she becomes a man ?
