Some may choose to work and save
Some will choose to rant and rave
Regardless of which one you choose
Every road ends at the cave >>>

روز دوشنبه‌ی گذشته فرصتی دست داد تا به همراه استاد عزیزم رضا علامه‌زاده به تماشای نمایش تازه‌ی پرویز صیاد یعنی ((هادی و صمد٬ ده سال بعد)) بنشینیم.
نا گفته پیداست که نمایش با همراهی هادی‌خرسندی طنز‌پرداز معروف ساخته شده و البته دیدن هم دارد.

WAR

Chaaaaarrrrrrge....!

Despite millions of years of evolution, humans will fight

I guess there was a time when leaders, kings or generals, were in front, side by side, and in the trenches with their soldiers. Sure, they got the better horses, finer fire arms, had protection, got a tent with hot food, but they were there. They smelt the gun powder, saw the blood and were killed at times. Compare that with today's wars. Our leaders have a suit on, live in a mansion, have no idea how to fight and the only time they ever used a gun was in open range, at some pheasants who didn't shoot back. They are ordering "CH.... AAAAA... RRRRR...GGGE", when the only charge they have ever done was on dady's credit card.>>>

روزگار گندآلوده روشنفکران راست

آقای میلانی! زمانی که ناصر زرافشان چهره جسور و مبارز و محبوب مردم ایران شما را بی صلاحیت ، بیسواد ،كسى كه با باد مى چرخد ، عمله فکری نظام مالی و فاقد صلاحیت ادبی می نامد، اینها توهین و پرخاش نیستند. به اینها ترور شخصیت نمی گویند. اینها ارزیابی منتقد از موضوع نقد می باشد. به اینها می گویند نقد سیاسی. پلیمیک و جدل سیاسی و یا اجتماعی مهمانی خانه عمه جان نیست که فقط قربان صدقه هم بروند. رسم و رسومش با مصاحبه های انحصاری که شما اینور و آنور راه می اندازید فرق دارد. این جا هدف هندوانه زیر بغل هم گذاشتن و تملق گوئی نیست . اینجا نقد است و جدل و چالش >>>

Foreigners plotting against Iran?!

We have been unable to adopt Western values that have been far more superior

India was colonised by Britain for a very long time. As a result India is a democracy. I sincerely believe that the reason India is a democracy is because it was colonised by Britain. So, colonisation has not been that bad for India. If you ask me, I wish America comes today and colonise Iran, change it into an American state actually, and deprive me of my desire to have Azerbaijanis and other minority groups given special rights that they are entitled to (as I believe). I would be happiest. God forbid, this doesn't mean anything but a hypothetical fantasy, because in reality nothing but war would come out of it.>>>

One would think that a person with such reputable humanitarian background would be strongly opposed to sanctions and illegal wars of aggression. But contrary to popular French and world opinion, Mr. Kouchner did in fact fully approve of the U.S. administration's plan to force regime change in Iraq. >>>
