I can feel your pain. Sorry Though. It is how it is.
"...dictatorial agenda..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 11:39 AM PSTFrom taxes we pay to the side of the road we drive on, are based on a degree of dictatorship which is euphemistically called "indirect democracy".
Preserving the sanctity of a "normal/natural" family is my, as you call it, "dictatorial agenda".
Oxymoron
by KouroshS on Sat Mar 13, 2010 11:14 AM PSTAll Social issues at one point, would harbor the potential to be viewed as "self-serving" matters. You are promoting a dictatorial agenda here. What do you suggest we do? Ration Rights and determine who gets to have what rights?
You should accept them as they are, as they should respect how you view their lifestyle. Don't get tangled up with each other and we all will be fine.
As a general matter
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 11:10 AM PST[Human Rights should not, and can not be used as a ticket for a free ride on every single self-serving social issue.]
As a general matter, no argument there.
As long as the human rights of all citizens including the Homosexuals is guaranteed, which it is not in Iran, which is the topic of this video.
"...human rights of all citizens must be protected..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:20 AM PSTHuman Rights should not, and can not be used as a ticket for a free ride on every single self-serving social issue.
Ms. Dadvar
by capt_ayhab on Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:10 AM PSTI second you on Rachel Maddow.
She is my favorite commentator, highly intelligent and most of all the most unbiased and fair journalist which, with all honesty should be a MODEL as a true journalist.

Now you are adding innovation to the requirements of "Abnormal"
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:06 AM PST[Mozart did not overhaul the musical notes, or instruments according to his, as you call it, abnormality...]
You see how dangerous it is. One could stretch this Normal/Abnormal thing to as far as suits one at the time. Human rights of all citizens must be protected.
"...a notorious killer, is viewed as normal..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:01 AM PSTDid my logic make you consider Charles Manson as a healthy person? How did it happen?
The Lesbians have abnormal sexual tendencies. They should not be allowed to raise a child in a household where mom#1, and mom#2 sleep together.
"...Mozart was abnormally talented..."
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 09:36 AM PSTMozart did not overhaul the musical notes, or instruments according to his, as you call it, abnormality...
Shoud he have done it?. Only within his private space; maybe

Holden: No need for insult
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 09:12 AM PSTBased on your comments, I assume, you believe abnormal means unhealthy. I totally disagree with you. Because, Rachel Maddow, a compassionate, intelligent and highly accomplished woman, who happens to be lesbian, is considered abnormal(unhealthy). Charles Manson, a notorious killer, is viewed as normal(healthy). There is something fundamentally wrong with this kind of logic.
Normal and Abnormal is a dangerous standard
by Mehrban on Sat Mar 13, 2010 08:59 AM PSTWhen it comes to human rights.
Mozart was abnormally talented (he was abnormal). Should he not have the same rights as others?
The question should not be if someone is normal or abnormal. The issue is the protection of human rights for all citizens.
"...young woman in men clothing?"
by Holden Caulfield on Sat Mar 13, 2010 08:13 AM PSTSince I assume you are here under your real name, I refrain from a poignant retort.
Your psycho-analytic remark, however, is duly noted, and refuted. Let's go, now, back on the issue of abnormality of homosexuality. Shall we?
Holden
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 08:00 AM PSTIs your avatar the picture of a young woman in men clothing ?
A bit Goth
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sat Mar 13, 2010 05:36 AM PSTThe photo definitely has a goth feel to it. Reminds me of some people I used to know at Berkeley :-)
There is nothing strange or abnormal about being Gay. The abnormal part is in those who get so upset about it. Live and let live. If you don't like it; then don't do it.
tabar The Newcomer ...
by Darius Kadivar on Sat Mar 13, 2010 03:03 AM PSTNo it's called having a Sense of Humor which You seem to lack dramatically !
Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover !
If as a newcomer to this website You don't like what I blog ( which many others do and follow my contributions over the past ten years on a wide Variety of subjects than your selective choice) That's fine with me Brother but instead of lecturing me I suggest you focus on your own limited contributions First.
Best,
DK
you're all right as usual!

by tabar on Fri Mar 12, 2010 06:05 PM PSTIf you don't have anything of value to say why do you waste your time posting idiotic videos? Don't you have a life? Isn't this type of behaviour considered spam?
Lol well I suggest
by tabar on Fri Mar 12, 2010 06:02 PM PSTwe ignore Holden, it's clear logic isn't his forte

Je bande aussi
quand j' pense à Léonor
Mon dieu je bande encore
Mais quand j' pense à Lulu
Là je ne bande plus
La bandaison papa
Ça n' se commande pas.
Please don't sample...
by Holden Caulfield on Fri Mar 12, 2010 02:29 PM PSTAcceptance of homosexuality, as a normal lifestyle(which in fact is not), falls within the realm of Political Correctness. Beware of the fact that in the PC market, you can't hand-pick. Things, are packed in bunch; from freedom to execution and practicing sharia law to let say Jack & Abdullah getting married. Capiche?
Very Powerful

Thanks Kayvan, this is great work.
Being a Basiji cult
by vildemose on Fri Mar 12, 2010 06:16 PM PSTBeing a Basiji cult memeber or a Hezballah groupie is a mental disorder recognized by DSM XI as severe loss of gray matter that makes up a bulk of a functioning brain and a 'human'. In fact, all basijees and their clans are clinically certifiable. They are a danger to the public and themsleves. They should all be thrown in insane asylums. Deal with that bigotted homophobes.
Holden, here is a test for your personality/mental disorder:

Born with being gay... but abnormal???
by capt_ayhab on Fri Mar 12, 2010 02:02 PM PSTHow could a factor that they are born with can be considered abnormal???? Lets stop defining it as abnormal since it is normal for so many people[men and women alike] thorough out the world and history.
Blacks are also born with color of skin, are they abnormal? Women are different[biologically] from men, are they abnormal?
Being a criminal is abnormal, being a bigot is abnormal, having ONE eye[due respect to all one eyed people] is abnormal but not being a gay.

Homosexuality is NOT an abnormality
by Rea on Fri Mar 12, 2010 01:48 PM PSTAbnormal are those who consider homosexuality to be abnormal.
Some "S" words to discuss, or fret over...
by Holden Caulfield on Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:35 PM PSTSanctity of normal family...
No such a thing as "child adoption" for homosexuals.
Homosexuality is an abnormality but , .......................
by jasonrobardas on Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:26 PM PST...... there should be no discrimination against them . They deserve equal rights and equal treatment . The 'gay" issue is a human right issue .
It is not fair to be biased against them because they did not make the choice . They were born that way . We are not prejudiced against people who are " color blind" . As long as they are not hurting anyone " live and let live "
Exception is a rule of nature
by Kooshan on Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:48 AM PSTSo they are not normal; exceptional is an anomaly to a normal phenomena.
Mr. Tabar
by capt_ayhab on Fri Mar 12, 2010 10:26 AM PSTYou really should be proud of yourself for being so honest about your feelings.
Every single DECENT people on the earth should be proud of you as well. Homosexuality is not a "disease" nor it an "abnormality" as some bigoted posters shamelessly making it to be. We are all created in the image of the creator.
Respectfully
