US invasion of our beautiful language

جناب ارتش آمریکا، بخدا اگر می‌دونستیم درک شما از زبان فارسی اینقدر گریه آور است که "کلمات من قدرتی‌ عظیم در بر دارند؟!" به گوشتان شعار سلحشورانه میاید و نه اشاره‌ای طنز آمیز به باد معده، خودمان مجانی‌ کمکتان میکردیم، دیگر تبلیغ نداشت. همانطور که جلو گیری از حمله به خاک ایران ایستادگیست در برابر نقض حقوق بشر ایرانیان، جلوگیری از شکنجه زبان فارسی دفاع از حقوق فرهنگی‌ ماست. حال اگر وقت خودرا بیشتر صرف آشنایی با مردم، تاریخ و فرهنگ ایران کنید شاید مفهوم شود که لزومی به حمله نیست و شاید روش های موثر تری در دسترس باشد. در صدی هم از صرف جویی مخارج توپ و تفنگ را به ایرانیان دات کم هدیه فرمائید و اگر عضوی شاکی‌ شد خودمان با کامنت می‌ریزیم رو سرش.     

I agree with MM too,

Javid Jan,

You did great sticking to your policy and letting the community know. But what are you doing about the same kind of advertising in the blogs? When there is numerous well-documented indications that people are doing much worse advertising (for example for bombing Iran), as a day job and getting away with it by simply not being honest enough to tell you who they work for.

When are you going to fix that? Don't these at least merrit some investigation?

God Bless US Armed Forces!

Like the Police officers, you hate them, you badmouth them, you disrespect them, ... until you actually need them to save and protect your little behind!

It's okay, be a hypocrite, while you can enjoy the American freedom and comfort provided, protected, and defended by the sweat and blood of the US service men and women!

If I were the US military, I would think twice before I searched for language and other types of help around Iranian.com! After all, you can't find a single reliable, trustworthy, and competent sole around here! 

......

I agree with MM that:

In many ways, some of the offensive blogs here are even worse than ads

Well said! I followed a couple of debate blogs lately 'cause I got 2 weeks off for the Holidays......it is shocking to read some of the posts and cartoons.....it is Iranians ridicule, denigrate, and revile Iranians.......I thought blood is thicker than water & they should have the basic respect for their own people.......I was very wrong.....

Sounds like an admirable job

If you can talk some sense into terrorist's heads it must be more like a special gift than a job.That's the way to end this war.I think that's not the just the Army's job,I think it's everyone's job as a human being so I say thanks for accepting the ad.As far their success talking sense into terrorist's head's,as long as their is Islam I doubt it's possible.It's probably another waste of money trying to talk to them.

Is this a legal disclaimer or what?

 you refuse adversts from US army because you do not accept adverts from "al Qaeda and Islamist republic of Iran armed forces or Israel's  MOSAD"?

Really I dont see the rational here. But never mind, it is your site and you are free to do what you want to do. After all, you live in the land of "free enterprise and democracy" and your rights to "free enterprise" is guaranteed by the US constitution which in turn is defended and protected most rigorously by non other than the united states armed forces! 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

We both went to enlist

And we were both rejected.

They rejected me for my accent! (too American they said) 

and they rejected Hazrate shotor for his attitude (able to detect bullshit, they indicated).

But meanwhile Iranian dotcom made good amount of money for its future sale's opportunities. There's a lot of money to be made these days if you own some kind of brand name right's related to Iran and Iranians.

توئم کشتی‌ ما رو با این تغییراتت... دِ‌ بگو دیگه

I really don't understand the nature of this apology. What is the true difference between JJ's direct gain, and my indirect one.

Remember: The West in which we all live in and benefit from was not built by Joe the starving artist, but by Joe the GI. I've stopped fooling myself for a while now.

And a bit on the technical issue: Only once, a site detected my Adblocker and demanded a nominal donation in return. 

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

MM Jan

You are right. JJ needs money to run IC and maybe we should support it. But I see no problems with military ads. Why not? If USA military had more Persian knowledge maybe it would minimize the chance of mistakes.

The Persian recruits would tell them not to waste time with Rajavi. More understanding through translator and cultural advisers is a good thing. The could explain what Persian Gulf means to Iranian people and why it is important. They could explain why territorial integrity of Iran is benefit to USA. 

They could explain why how to approach Iranians. I think ti would be a good thing. At least they go in with their eyes open; not with lies of charlatans like MKO. Besides it provides money for running IC which we all use. 

Here is another idea:

JJ are there going to be shares available to public? I suggest some number be auctioned and we would all buy some. Maybe with a maximum per person to avoid too much influence. You could also charge a posting or subscription free. You pay a fee to post. Or you pay a higher fee to do blogs. There are just ideas. But ways to make some money and run IC. However there should be no favoritism based on money. That would destroy credibility. What do people think of this?

Well, whatever ads you have

It is your bloggers. And those who comment.

The rest is like 10,000 registered users.

Then I assume all military propaganda pieces

 be it american or be it Omarus army's latest camel dung missiles shall be treated by equal non-coverage.

Cheers!!!

JJJ can you "stop" these "new investers" from making money?

Should we also accept ads from the Revolutionary Guards, al Qaida, MOSSAD, North Koreans, Chinese military, etc...?

Sure why not?! All of these entities you listed post on i.com so why shouldn't they pay to be published?

But getting money to promote such ideas is another thing.

Promoting "such ideas" for free is even better!  Why pay when you can do it for free.  Is this what you're saying? JJJ with all due respect you seem to be one step behind all the time.  

Everything is sacred

... I should have added that

you are also absolutly correct on not wanting to be part of and subjecting IC to the game played by both sides Mr. J. 

Thank JJ

JJ jon,

I appreciate your gesture of showing your concern about that matter. This shows your integrity.

Happy holidays and best wishes for the coming New Year.

The good behavior of the people, warms our heart and make us thankful.....  And the bad ones, just make us to recognize and appreciate the good ones!

Ideas vs Business

mahmoudg: You can support any idea you like. This is a forum for ideas, even those who agree with war and violence.

But getting money to promote such ideas is another thing. We don't have to accept them. Any form of media has a policy on what kinds of ads it would accept or reject. It's not a free for all.

One of the best comments of 2010

Dear MM,

You have my vote for (one of the rare) best comments of 2010 :

In many ways, some of the offensive blogs here are even worse than ads that at least provide IC with some funds.

Bravo! 

Well said!

The good behavior of the people, warms our heart and make us thankful.....  And the bad ones, just make us to recognize and appreciate the good ones!

I do support the military ads

I also support Surgical military strikes on targets in Iran and so far i have not been removed!!!.  This is tantamount to selective censorship.  Islamic Ads, IRI ads, as well as Israeli ads, and on and on should be tolerated.  If items are selectively put up and pulled down, then what is difference between this and what Shariatmadari does in Keyhan?

Mutual Assured Destruction

Khar: Mutual Assured Destruction does not have to play out on the pages of iranian.com.

Should we also accept ads from the Revolutionary Guards, al Qaida, MOSSAD, North Koreans, Chinese military, etc...

I'm not against U.S. military ads. I'm against ALL such ads. We either accept all ads from all sides, or we make a policy not to accept certain kind of ads from any government or group.

JJ, If the Iranian.com

JJ,

If the Iranian.com users cannot afford to pay the measely few dollars you ask for during your fundraisers, then I do not see a problem with the US military advertising here.

As a matter of fact, I wonder why you have problems with military stuff, but not the Sara palin ads that were running here for a while.  In many ways, some of the offensive blogs here are even worse than ads that at least provide IC with some funds.

playing "Mutual Assured Destruction" game

Jahanshah Jaan, Mutual Assured Destruction game was the policy which prevented the super powers who pretended to blow each other up to high heavens for 40 years during the cold war. In my humble point the same is true here; they will not destroy each other they are in need of each other. One will be irrelevant without the other.

 On the subject of War your point is well taken and you are correct!

Don Quijote de la Mancha

;o)

I worry

Khar: Anything that has to do with war and violence has no place here. I don't care if it's the U.S. military or the Islamic Republic's.

No worries Mr. J...

The Ads will keep IRI supporters & Islamic Zealots in check! ;-))
