He Didn't Say "We Have No Gays in Iran"!
by HHH on Mon Mar 15, 2010 07:38 PM PDTThe moron president said:
"We don't have (as many) gays in Iran as you do in America".
The girl translated it wrong then by the time she tried to correct it people booed.
He is right about this. In America there are more gay dating posts in dating sites than straight posts. During shah when straight sex was OK and free we hardly had more than 1 or 2 gays in one area. Now with a ban on boy/girl sex men have resorted to all kinds of perverted sex including homosexuality.
Did I mention I hate rap. Rap is 1 letter short of CRAP.
I hope it leaves Iranian music as fast as it entered it.
I don't see how it could be true if they are devoted moslems.
by obama on Sun Mar 14, 2010 09:07 PM PDTI am not saying it is impossible, since if they cannot have women, I wouldn't be surprised if some, not all, would want to have something that doesn't get pregnent.
As for the photos of men holding hands - we know better. The guy says it is a feminin culture. The idiot shows his ignorant of the culture or want to demonize it. How many times have we held the hands of our friends whom we were close to emotionally, before we came to the west? This kind of stereotyping is done as a campaign against these idiots who are really disgrace to men! Photos are always are re-touched in the villages which is all of afghanestan. non-sense!
The commentator is a paki who works for the western media and falsely describes how taleban was formed. Taleban was formed by the coordiantion of Pakistan and the US in order to control Afghanestan.
That's fascinating. It
by benross on Sun Mar 14, 2010 08:46 PM PDTThat's fascinating. It confirms the previous comment. Thanks Yolanda.

by yolanda on Sun Mar 14, 2010 08:27 PM PDTThis video said that in Afghanistan there is (was?) strong homosexual tradition that older men adopt young boys as students, lovers, and concubines.....

I found this video when I was reading about "Taliban" in Wikipedia. The video link is listed in Wikipedia. I am not 100% sure if the allegation is true.

This article & S.F gay comedian Irani of Day! we're going gay!
by obama on Sat Mar 13, 2010 08:13 PM PSTGood! The Green movement is dead and now we want to change this site as an educational tool to convince all these anti-gay Iranians how dead wrong they are for believing in what they believe in! We all should start embracing the gays, otherwise there is something wrong with our brains or/and culture!
Slowly, but surely! I guess, we need to start the division, now that we overthrew the regime! Brilliant! Aren't we?
Phobia
by capt_ayhab on Sat Mar 13, 2010 03:13 PM PSTA phobia is an intense and deep fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. The main symptom of this disorder and abnormality is the excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared stimulus. When the fear is beyond one's control, and if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.
Homophobia being one case that we see amplified by the gentleman Holden over and over and over gain in his repetitive and bigoted comments.

Dear Holden
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 03:41 PM PSTI need to sign off. But let me tell you what I think, you can not find a universal standard or argument against the rights of all citizens including homosexuals in a society with a civilized legal system such as the US. All you can safely say is that you do not like their practices and that they are against YOUR moral standards and see if anyone will consider that strong enough based on which to deny homosexuals their un-alienable (according to the US constitution) rights.
On the minority/majiority issue please note the majiority can not vote the rights of minority null. They are considered unalienable (sorry).
I am not sure about your economic model, please provide the exact math.
Homosexuals in America are among the highest earners.
have a great weekend.
"...they are not worried..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:56 PM PSTI am sure you understand what a financial/economical model is. It has nothing with my being worried. Its sustainability is the main, let say, factor.
Therefore, a homosexual population lives off heterosexual population like a parasite. No derogatory remark intended.
The homosextual population
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:41 PM PSTby not having children has more dispensable income and can care for its retired parents much better. And if they are not worried about the next genration to support them, why should you be.
"...she should not inherit..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:41 PM PSTThe heterosexual financial model is the natural way of collecting tax/manpower from one generation in order to provide for the retired one. An aging homosexual population, therefore, becomes a financial burden to the natural one.
There is no problem with "she", and "her husband". With, or without a child. Why?
What is a heterosexual financial model? Children?
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:19 PM PSTIf it means children, then should childless couples be denied same rights as couples with children. So if a woman does not have a child she should not inherit from her husband?
"...the purpose of Homosexual sex is not reproduction..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:07 PM PSTWhich takes us to the next level of our "little talk". Homosexuals are asking for the same financial benefit which exist in the natural heterosexual societies, such as marriage, inheritance, spousal retirement, etc. These benefits are built based on, and sustainable, only, upon a heterosexual financial model.
I wish you a good weekend too
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:54 PM PSTTackling the issue of overpopulation by the practice of homosexuality is like mandatory size reduction of people's stomach in order to fight food shortage in some parts of the world. Or is it?
There is no confusion :-)
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:53 PM PSTThere is no confusion, the purpose of Homosexual sex is not reproduction. They are not confused........
Holden
by Rea on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:43 PM PSTLet's cut it short, B/S.
Live and let live.
As for "any confusion between the two is unnatural", you certainly belong to the other kind, unnatural.
"unnatural"
by KouroshS on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:35 PM PSTWhat is Unnatural is the energy you are expending pushing your agenda. That is what is truly Unnatural. Peace Out Amigo,
Holden
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:34 PM PSTI can see that you and I are very different. I believe in "law of logic". You believe in "law of nature". Logically speaking, overpopulation has become a serious threat to mankind survival. At this point "reproduction" has little value in sustaining the human life. It is more of an animalistic instinct that needs to be satisfied.
You seem to be more of a black/white thinker. I am more interested in abstract thinking.
Have a good weekend.
"...matter Senior..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:21 PM PSTWhich takes us to the interesting subject of differentiation in body systems, namely, digestive, and reproductive. Any cofusion between the two is unnatural.
Holden
by KouroshS on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:15 PM PSTCould not agree more with you Senior.
You do realize that though In this case You are the Minority and Your M & J certainly can not be tolerated LOL. Well said.
Holden
by KouroshS on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:13 PM PSTNatural Laws of survival Are Natural laws which can not be defined or determined by You or anyone else for that matter Senior.
SO techincally Homosexuals are free to be part of the nature and practice what they do based on those very same laws.
Mumbo Jumbo??
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 01:06 PM PSTYou are right. I could not have said it better. Then the majority rules. No minority mumbo jumbo allowed.
"Sorry. I don't understand..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:54 PM PSTNo, they are not formed in the vacuum.
They are only, and very simply based on the natural law of survival which includes "reproduction".
KouroshS
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:47 PM PSTI agree with your comment. However, I am very interested in Holden's response to my question.
Mumbo Jumbo??
by KouroshS on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:40 PM PSTIndividual characters ARE natural values which COLLECTIVELY form Social values.
Quit playing with words.
Holden
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:34 PM PSTSorry. I don't understand your statement. Are you saying our social values are formed in a vaccum?!!
Sensationalism?!!!
"An individual's sexual orientation..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:20 PM PSTIndividual characters are irrelevant to the natural, and social/collective values.
A society can't be run by sensationalism.
Holden: You missed the point
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:04 PM PSTAn individual's sexual orientation is not a reflection of his/her character.
