When media competes, the viewer wins! I'm pleased to announce that our efforts in television production is slowly starting to rub off on other Iranian TV Networks. A certain Satellite TV network, with the motto that there is nothing above them, stated not to long ago that they had decided to move away from sitting behind a desk and to go out and interact with people in the open, away from the studio, and to provide more reality tv style programs. >>>

Citizen of the world

I am a citizen of the world

Yet, I don’t have a passport

Issued by a world government

I have regard for all people

Not only my kinsmen and compatriots

I acknowledge the humanity of all

Without regard to their religion, culture or nationality >>>

Wrap it right

Fear of Chinese packages

10-Sep-2007 (2 comments)
One has to have nerves made of copper wires to unwrap some of these holiday gift packages imported from China. These packages are put together in such a way to withstand the elements, constant mishandling by porters, impacts against cargo containers, and onslaught of buyers who constantly try to inspect the items before purchasing them. Let’s be honest, when was the last time you purchased an item that was already manhandled. Somehow, we don’t like to buy things when their wrappings have been torn already. There must be a sociological reason for this, maybe fear of missing parts, I suppose. >>>

Roger's story

Did the attacks on New York's World Trade Center make him gay?

10-Sep-2007
Roger was a ladies’ man, who frequently scored dates with the prettiest girls on campus, as his perfect charm somehow got girls to give in to his dating demands. He did attend church regularly so the combination of church related activities and functions enabled him to meet a myriad of interesting gals. After graduating from college, Roger landed a sweet job with Morgan Stanley inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. He learned to enjoy the city, loved his job and a few years later fell in love with his neighbor, a young Asian lady attending Medical School at Columbia. They both attended the same church. >>>

گَرده اي از سرگذشت

برخورد دو جريان خواهان و مخالف تغيير آن ديناميسمي را به وجود آورد كه هيچ يك از آن دو رسته را ميسر نيفتاد تا بنا بر ميل خود بر آن بر مهار زنند و تغييرات را در جهت خواست هاي خود برانند. نگونبختانه، با اينكه قسمت اعظم اين گرده ي سرنوشت ها به نگارش در آمدند، گرفتاري ها تدريس، پايان دادن پژوهش هاي پيشين، و نيز بيماري مانع از اتمام پروژه شده اند. چند نسخه ازين طرح در اختيار چند متخصص ادبيات قرار گرفت تا از كمك و همكاري آنان براي نگارش گرده هاي پيرامون اديبان بهره مند شود. حال، نظر به توجهي كه اخيراً به برخي ازين «شخصيت» ها داده شده است، درست آن ديدم كه گرده هايي را كه نسبتاً آماده اند در اختيار خوانندگان قرار دهم. اينك يكي از آنان: >>>

فقها و فحشا

"گر تو نمی پسندی, تغییر ده قضا را"

10-Sep-2007 (3 comments)
پس از حدود سی سال مبارزه ی اسلامی با فحشا, بیداد فحشا هنوز یکی از ویژگی های حکومت اسلامی و حاکمیت فقها ست.روش های مبارزه ی اسلامی با فحشا, برای چندمین بار در تاریخ , در سی سال گذشته نیز تجربه شد. آتش زدن و تخریب محل کار و زندگی فواحش( تن فروشان ), سوزاندن و اعدام تن فروشان, شکنجه و اعدام پااندازان خرده پا , محجبه کردن تن فروشی و دایر کردن " شهرنو" های اسلامی روش های به کار گرفته شده از سوی فقهاست .علی رغم اثبات نا کارایی این روشها ی ضد انسانی و ابلهانه, مرغ فقها در بکار گیری این روش ها "یک پا دارد" و کوتاه بیا نیستند, حتی به قیمت گسترش حیرت انگیز فحشا و عوارض آن >>>
