Not only the recent/current generation of Iranians, but the old western cultures keep on stressing the value of the “family”. I maintain that the whole lovy-dovy concept of family is passé in the 21st century. And guess what, that is the best news for getting rid of the smelly old traditions and the Islamic BS in Iran.
The sooner we get rid of the Ayatollah’s incestuous family concepts of Islam (with Mohammad fucking a 9-year old girl, and the IRI men having seeghes) — and the Christian priests fucking the altar boys in the church, and the Jews imposing their superstitious rituals, the sooner we can get on with realities of the 21st century and the new set of moralities needed to let the Pope live happily in Vatican, the Mullahs go and live happily in Qom, and the Rabies go and happily prey in the Synagogues, or go perform fucking acts against the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
Let’s separate these guys hobbies and fairy tales from the affairs of the state. We can also extend the same protocol to the closely knit tribal families (such as Iranians) versus freeing themselves from the unnecessary strangling of the IRI family restrictions. What a relief to see the next generation of Iranians going out into the free world of blogs, and expanding their horizons beyond the stone-age concepts of God and religion.
Surely, you must have heard the horror stories of the majority of American families getting together on Thanksgiving, Xmas, or Reunions (Go and rent the “Big Chill” DVD from your local Blockbuster to see what I mean). It is a pain in the neck. They all hate it, because it generally ends up in arguments/hatred and horrible outcomes – to the point that they don’t want to see each other again.
Oh wonderful … Here comes bloging. What a relief. You don’t have to have any face-to-face animosity with the aging (getting uglier every year) members of the family. Wonderful… Who needs those family members with their pre-conceived, judgmental, and condescending ideas about you? I say, F*&k them. Join the blogs, where there is at least a minimal code of civilized conduct and a protocol of communication – free of family’s old soap operas/gossip, and patronizing behavior.
