Don aziz!

I hope this post finds you in good health. I find the information on the Lion, Sun and Sword very telling. What you provided appears to be a cylinderical seal! I love those.

I thought the Dildo worshipers are already in power with their symbol on the flag! Hold on, let me look - yip, sure thing it is a dildo.

I am all for a chetah on the Flag.

Ghorbanet and thanks for your blog!

Don, Don King, is that you Don? I like your work! Sepas!

Omid, what do the center of the your Iranians flags display, if anything?

That's a shame

Keep the option open :O)

Spanking...

should never be abandonded as an option...    0:D

What a shame.......because I stopped doing so

several years ago. I felt it was time to move beyond my societies expectations on behavior modification. It is what happens when you take so many Psychology classes at the university. :o)

I prefer spanking ;o)

Ha Ha Ha....how funny......I am now

a lion and lioness tamer. However, I do take a different approach. It is time to leave the chair and whip behind and modify others behaviors with acts of kindness. :o)

I'm sure even Omid Hast would approve of such a new method  of behavior modification.:o)

Behavior modification

Nadia, don't forget to bring a chair and a whip!
(And a spare set maybe for me...)

Roar!
Rosie

Omid Hast :o)......so I hear you may need

assistance with some behavior modification. Perhaps, I can be of some assistance. Always there to help a friend. :o)

Omid,

I'm in contact with jj about what seems to me to be hacking into cyberidentities.  It WAS cute when the "hacker?" and I performed a Mazdaist/Sufi purification of KS's soul, but it isn't cute here on this blog. It really can't continue...the MOST important benefit of registration is PROTECTION of one's cyberidentity.  It really is....

 Oh, and I got mad today, TWICE.  One about an anti-Semitic slur to me, and one about me "defending" KS because I'm covertly a Muslim hater.  I got mad, really mad.  I released Nefrat.  I was surprised.  I almost never do...but....I did....

because you see....we're human...half animal, half angel....the gray area in between is where we THINK we live but really....we're half animal, half angel.

ROAR!
Rosie

I have been told

I have been told, by more than one person,: “don’t get mad”. So, this must be a flaw in my character. I am sorry. I must overhaul my behavior.

There, you happy now :O)

Omid, it's not that simple...

I tried to go in unregistered as Omid Hast, as I did as Kouroush Sassanian when the same thing happened on his blog, and the system stops me, telling me the name belongs to a registered user. So either the person doing this has a glitch which allows him to do it,or he's hacking in.  It may be very elementary hacking, but it's still hacking.  I don't know if it's the same person, but when he did it on Kouroush's blog, the intention was...more than benighn..it was actually to be helpful...to show how split Kouroush is between his Killer Shark and KiaroStami incarnations....I suppose I should notify jj and fouad about it at this point though...it's really not cool to keep doing it....or if there's more than one person doing it, also uncool.....I don't know what I'll do or when....I suppose I should...

Omid Hast.......no I did not.....Sepaas for

asking. I never ever go under anyone's name verified or nonverified (not even to prove a point). Lord knows I have enough with my own three registered accounts. It is why I really only deal with one.

 Answer to deleted reply question:

Well, I think there can be a domino effect to the situation. For example, I attached my reply to your comment, then someone attaches their reply to mine and the process continues. If for whatever reason your posted comment gets deleted then Yes, I do believe the system would automatically delete a bunch of comments at one time. Remember it is only a machine. It cannot tell the difference between good posts and abusive ones. It will do what it was programmed to do. It is not subjective.

I will look into your other questions and reply back to you.

Registered users:

I also wanted to let other registered users know that once someone attaches their reply to your comment, you cannot edit your comment further. I got the following of the actual iranian.com in which it states

Comments can be edited by the author until someone replies to them, after which they cannot be altered.

 I finally figured out why sometimes, I could not go back and change a comment of mine. It also means you cannot move up a comment you made up the thread once someone attaches their reply to yours.

PS: Yes, the unverified Omid Hast posted as you but notice he has a chicken avatar, his name is in black lettering and next to him says not verified. People have to question the identity from whence the source comes. Someone did the same thing to Kouroush Sassanian only they are being the light and not darkness. So everybody knows it is not the real KS.

Also,  someone posed as me a couple of months ago as Sasha and they had my name in blue letters but next to my name was (not verified). They insulted Niki using my name. It was before we had avatars next to our comments. Also, before I posted any blogs. Now, the majority of people on this website know who I am, what I think and my writing style. They will think twice before they believe an imposter.

Nadia,

Did you post under unregistered ‘Omid Hast’ to make a point?

I understand that by clicking on “reply” the comments is attacked to that post and consequently may get deleted, but is there other ways that posts are “attached” together and they are deleted in bunches?

Do you know about “Message Center”? Is this what Rosie T. refers to as “Message Box”? I am on the “Contact” link, but why am I not on the list in the “Message Center”?

I did not post

I did not post “this is the case of unidentified deletions!”, and I don’t know what this person means. The sentence is not a question, but an exclamation. So now I get it, even an unregistered person can post under a registered person’s name, as it is done by the unregistered ‘Omid Hast’ for the registered ‘Omid Hast‘, and so quickly too. So a person is trying to make a point. It looks like a person is turning the game upside down on our heads. Maybe this has been going on for awhile, but I wasn’t aware of it.

Also, any replies attached to

a deleted comment, gets deleted also. It is how the system is set up.

 It is why some harmless posts are deleted because they were attached to a verbally abusive comment that was deleted.

Nose...mish-mash

I wrote it because Omid specially requested ithat I respond twice.  And it's a complex and important issue. But if you read what I wrote you'd find it isn't really about rhinoplasty at all--it's about endemic addictive consumption in the soulless Westoxified global village. So I doubt I'll make much money with those views....thanks for your concern for my financial well-being, though. 

Nose !

Why don't you write several articles about the " NOSE ", since it's of interest of readers on iranian.com ?

Or better yet creat a website about that nose! you can get all kinda traffic there and make millions!

To Omid Re: About the nose

Well, Omid, it's a complex question and first of all we have to make a distinction between what is surgery and what is not,, and also between what is for aesthetics per se versus an artificially created "aesthetic."  And there's LOTS of blurry gray area.  BUT

A nose job (rhinoplasty) is a SURGERY.  An extremely painful, expensive one, and one that is risky too.  I knew a girl in junior high school who really had an abnormally grotesquely large nose.  It was like having an extra thumb or something.  In that case for her to have a normal life the surgery was worth it because she was essentially deformed. But most women having a "rhinoplasty" are trying to conform with artificial standards of beauty related to consumer capitalism's assaults on us to consume, as well as the ol' "Westoxification" in Iran.  They want to be something they're NOT because outside forces tell them to and they listen and they're ruining their natural beauty.  Any ancient Egyptian paintings show you that a large nose has always been considered as beautiful as any other.  I think a hardcore SURGERY like this should absolutely be avoided except in the MOST EXTREME CASES.

Okay, I know. We agree on this but I had to say it as a kind of a preamble because now we get into the murky gray area.  Othrodonture, liposuction, skin peels, and so on....where even the criteria for what actually constitutes surgery is blurred. You have to take it on a case by case basis.  Crooked teeth are ugly.  I bet that's universal throughout cultures.  I think orthodonture is fine..  Skin peels I don't know enough about. I think if they're not harmful, they're fine.  Beautiful skin is beautiful skin everywhere. LIposuction starts to get creepy because then you're entering the realm of these imposed values.  Trying to make women's bodies look androgynous--it started with Twiggy, it's a function of post-industrial consumer capitalism in the media age.  Whatever.  It's stupid.  But I don't think liposuction is harmful, so that's all that it is-stupid and creepy.  To me anyway.

I'd never encourage anyone to have liposuction. I'd encourage them to exercise to get their best natural body and then just live with the bumps and curves that are normal feminiity.  But where would I draw the line?  I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT DRAW A LINE.

The problem is we live in this consumer culture and everything is simply available.  It is no longer possible to draw lines and in some ways everything is out of control.  That is the reality; that's the state of play. We can see it most clearly with pornography.  Look what's available...but you can't turn the clock back, it is what it is.  I simply wouldn't draw a line.

Humanity is entering this stage of evolution where everything is so immediate and accessible that the only solution lies in proper upbringing, education and governmental involvement in educating the educators--the parents and teachers. And government is just us anyway.  WE have to raise people with a CORE so they know themselves when to draw the line.  The reason all this cosmetic "work" and pornography are so popular is because people no longer have a CENTER. But if you try to impose it from without it won't work and it creates totalitarianism.  All we can do is be patient and do the best we can.  It's going to get worse before it gets better.  But if we survive the coming challenges of war, global warming, drought, etc., we will HAVE to evolve. Because IT IS THERE and it is AVAILABLE.  What difference does it make ultimately whether it's nose jobs or tatooed eye liner, or skin peels or pornography or constant cell phoning and video gaming and eating sugary foods, then purging, or buying a new computer or new car every year...it's disastrous for the environment and for the soul.  It's about massive pandemic ADDICTION for the "haves" of the planet.  MASSIVE.  It pervades EVERYTHING.  It pervades this discourse we're having now.  You spoke about computer addiction on your last cartoon.  That's just another form of liposuction, see?

IT'S EVERYWHERE.  IT'S MOLOCH>  IT CANNOT BE REGULATED.  The change will come when we weather the coming disasters and we realize that the earth is depleted and we honor it and stop consuming so addictively...and raise our children like children, not like consumption machines..

There.  I've rambled.  I think I'm leaving it the way it is, no edits. I hope I haven't made myself as clear as mud.

Thanks for asking me privately to reply.  (I just want people to know I didn't write this because I'm on some soapbox or trip or something...)

Dear Rosie and Nadias

Thanks for the suggestion.

Shaida why don't you register?

The BIGGEST benefit is you get to protect your cybername.  After that it's just benefits and benefits...ability to flag posts, track your own posts, track others' posts, have extended conversations easily that way, know who's on-line, contact people off-line and make real friends (Nadia and I are very good friends now), not have to re-type your name every time you post, be able to edit your posts, makes submitting articles very easy....it's so simple...just register...there are NO bad effects of it, only benefits...

 Thanks for clarifying,
Robin

Shaida.........I did notice two different.....

opinions expressed under your name. It is not the only time that this confusion has occurred.

 It also occurred for someone named Anon and for me under a previous name Sasha.

I think that the only way to avoid such confusion and abuse by others is to register.

Dear Rosie and Mr V

I DID NOT WRITE that RUDE comment about Mr.V(I just wrote one comment and I thanked him for his video clip). Thats it.

I was really shocked when I saw the second comment with my name.

SORRY to say this but some PEOPLE are COWARDS even they can't use their REAL NAME OR EVEN PICK A FAKE NAME . I DO NOT APPRECIATE Who ever wrote that nasty comment under my name.

How do I know this person straight or gay? I don't even CARE.

This is the first time I wrote a comment for his video clip. I LIKE IT and again THANK YOU .

I can guess WHO did it (The heat and argument was between 2 people) .That person KNEW I am a female thats why he picked on me.

WHO EVER DID THAT, I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT FUNNY AND DON'T BE A COWARD WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SAY,SAY IT BUT DON'T HIDE YOURSELF BEHIND other PEOPLE'S NAMES.
