by anonymous111.2 on Sun Nov 29, 2009 10:50 AM PSTYou are correct. Gom not only approved me, but they also gave me a grant (in your face, buddy)! As far as the Indian Institute of Science, I tried contacting them, but my call was answered by a call center in Krala, and I was placed on hold for two hours, after which a "supervisor" told me that he has to check on the matter and he will get back to me within 5 business days. He didn't tell me if Thanksgiving was included in the "business day" calculations, so I'm a bit confused as to whether or not the time to respond has expired.
As for the American Association of Science and Technology, they must be in contact with you, because they called me a "d**khead too.
Yes Ahmad_, I'm sure there are more than sex reasons
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Sat Nov 28, 2009 01:14 PM PST...why this regime is doomed.
Yes, but...
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Sat Nov 28, 2009 01:11 PM PSTHas your position about the Cold Nuclear Fusion Theory been validated by the American Association of Science and Technology, Indian Institude of Science, and Gom Theological Seminary of Sciences? Well, I take it back. I'm sure Gom will validate your position without any problem; so what about the other two?
MPD
by anonymous111.2 on Sat Nov 28, 2009 10:56 AM PSTWell, there was that one instance when you blogged on the Cold Nuclear Fusion Theory, and I disagreed with you because my position has always been that high compression ratio and mobility of deuterium CAN NOT be achieved within palladium metal using electrolysis which result in nuclear fusion.
In response, you became angry and called me a d**k head.
MPD
by ahmad_ on Sat Nov 28, 2009 05:12 AM PSTI agree 100%
but there are more reasons for this regime to be removed from the face of the earth.

What do you mean by "he almost never disappoints,..." When did I ever disappoint you? Show me scientific results, validated by the American Association of Science and Technology, Indian Institude of Science, and Gom Theological Seminary of Sciences.
Hi Nadia,
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:12 PM PSTMy application for a sexist disclaimer was not approved because it was not scientifically written down. I'll try harder next time.
It's been proven
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Sat Nov 28, 2009 08:13 AM PSTIt’s been scientifically proven that religion extremism will drastically improve status of peons in a society. For example take the case to Ali Khamenei, he used to make people cry for panj toman per sermon, but now, as the Supreme Leader of an Islamic government, he makes the people cry for billions of dollars.
Or, take the case of a certain person who could not have made it one notch above a paasabaan under the previous regime, hustling for a bribe, but now, under the rule of religion fundamentalism, he is a sargord, demanding scientific application of the author's personal sense of gloom and doom to an entire nation.
Or, take Qom. It used to be a dehkoorh, but now it is a world class religion metropolitan.

by anonymous111.2 on Fri Nov 27, 2009 07:07 PM PSTno sweat. See, MPD is a gifted writer with a sophisticated sense of humor, the kind that I can only hope of matching someday. Every time he writes a blog, I throw him something with the hope of seeing a witty comeback, and he almost never disappoints, like what you see here below.
Disclaimer missing

Major Pirouz:
by vildemose on Fri Nov 27, 2009 05:12 PM PSTWhy do you feel a need to declare your rank and file in the Islamic Republic armed forces to come to this site and spread your official propaganda? Do you think your admission to being a military man from IRI gives you more credibility as a propagandist??? Or do you want to intimidate people?
Sargord= means Major in English
Sargord Pirouz: Who issues
by vildemose on Fri Nov 27, 2009 04:32 PM PSTSargord Pirouz: Who issues your paycheck? are you a member of IRGC?? Do you live in the US??Are you an official military spokesperson/propagndist of the Islamic Republic? What is exactly your mission on this website or here in America?
Dear jenaab sarvaan,
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Fri Nov 27, 2009 04:03 PM PSTYour sense of humor is weirder than mine.
Doom? You're deluding yourself.
by Sargord Pirouz on Fri Nov 27, 2009 03:48 PM PSTI understand the author feels these articles to be unfair, based on his/her sense of current Western liberalism.
But exactly how these articles "doom" the IRI is not explained.
These articles have been a fixture of Iran for 30 straight years now, and that "doom" hasn't happened. And, based on the latest WPO poll, 90% of Iranians polled inside Iran are satisfied with their form of government.
I suggest the author take a step back from their own personal sense of gloom-doom, before applying it unscientifically to an entire nation.
I know the difference between sex and six
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Fri Nov 27, 2009 02:28 PM PSTI meant to say "sex reasons", meaning the reasons that are related to gender discrimination, which will cause the demise of the IRI regime, and I included six of them. I'm full aware that there are more than six sex reasons, but I meant to give six sex reasons so to cause confusion between six and sex. I wanted to cause vex between six and sex, but what fun would it be to copy and paste six reasons without saying sex somewhere! I think it's a natural reflex to go berserk whenever there is mention of sex. Don't forget to flex your cortex.
:O) smiley face, meaning no problem.
Sorry dude
by Bijan A M on Fri Nov 27, 2009 12:40 PM PSTMy stupidity for not getting it. Should have known better...
Never meant to insult you. Apologies, just in case.

by anonymous111.2 on Fri Nov 27, 2009 12:02 PM PSTit was a joke. lighten up!
Very clever MPD
by Bijan A M on Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:07 AM PSTand creative too.
I'm just wondering why then is everybody jumping at Fred for his call to remove (overthrow) IRR the most realistic way he knows?
What good will it do to just sit around and whine and complain? What is wrong with supporting the opposition to succeed in overthrowing these beasts?
BTW, Anonym111.2 it is sex reason (no mis-spelling). take a look at the pic in the blog (haalaa 2 zarit oftaad?). Take care
I think
by anonymous111.2 on Fri Nov 27, 2009 10:03 AM PSTyou have misspelled six.
Solution: Deporting Akhoonds from IRAN!
by Maryam Hojjat on Fri Nov 27, 2009 08:53 AM PSTin order to cleanse Iran from barbaric Arab Book & its influence. By the way, It is only solution to a free IRAN. These criminal monsters have shown they are not IRANIANS and affilliated with Arab's world much stronger. Therefore, Send them off to Hezbollah in Lebenon, or to Hamas in Ghaza. They have already paid for their future to them!
Payandeh IRAN & Iranians

by yolanda on Fri Nov 27, 2009 08:29 AM PSTHi! MPD,
Thank you for the link. I read the whole article. It is sad! Apparently IRI feels nothing wrong with the picture! A couple of days ago, I watched soccer final Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake on TV, I had a great time even though Galaxy lost.....I thought about in Iran women can't enter Azadi stadium to watch soccer games with guys....it is so unfair. Girls want to have some fun, too. I really hope that IRI can make some changes with soccer, maybe let guys sit in one section of the stadium, girls the other section, or guys sit in the west, the girls sit in the east, or guys go to Azadi stadium from January to June, the girls go to the stadium from July to December....they need to let girls participate in sports, politics, job market, etc....I know that Iranian girls and women are very smart and capable, they deserve a lot better than what they have right now.
Thank you for your blog!

Strokes, wrist cuts, acid in face, rapes, dismemberments,.......
by pedro on Fri Nov 27, 2009 07:46 AM PSTSo much for seperation of religion and state. I can't believe that we Iranians offered our country with both hands to these Islamists/barberians, then stood back and let them fill the pockets of any country that kissed up to them, their relatives, their friends and themselves plus a bunch of hungry arab orphens raised killers to beat our mothers in the treets and rape our daughters in illigal prisons, then they go on insulting us with their stone aged laws and signs to distiguish the arrival of emam zaman.
We invited them into our country, we gave them the golden key, we trusted them with our wealth, and our lives. They came in threw acid in our faces, whiped and humeliated us in public, cut wrists, pulled eye out of suckets, raped, tortured and killed, our best and the brightest. I do not undrestand, why why why?.The history books warned us, we did not learn our lesson. Can someone tell me why?
There are many many more reasons ,but .......
by jasonrobardas on Fri Nov 27, 2009 07:23 AM PSTthe six you mentioned clearly exhibits the undemocratic, biased , male dominated unfair status of the Islamic republic .
