by Q on Wed Oct 15, 2008 04:47 PM PDTYour valinemats in Iran look so aweful that the only way left for you is to smear others and make them look as bad.
And then in the same paragraph(!!!), this:
many of the commentators in this site (mostly bacheh akhoonds, previously bacheh geda)
I think somebody has serious "oghdeh" issues. Desperate and angrily lashing out against anonymous poor people. I don't think the bigotry gets any clearer than this.
Jamshid Jan, you should understand that getting IRI paychecks via "ATM" is too tracable. It's all Western Union now. On occasion payments have been made via gold boulion FedEx-ed directly to the residence! You need to update your research.

A large percentage of the remaining 25,000 also enjoyed other types of financial assistance and grants.
In one of my visits to Iran, I had the unfortunate experience of visiting one of the offices of the education ministry. The talkative beardy guy who was running that office (nice fellow by obviously hezbollahi), proudly told me how the new revolutionary government cancelled most of those bourse tahsili, or in some cases even made the receipients to either return all the money or promise in writing to stay and work in Iran. Of course, I didn't need him to learn about this, I already knew.
He was proud that the education ministry still have the list of those receipients and how much grants and bourses they received from the Pahalvi regime. I wish they would publish it and make it public to shame them.
The Pahalvis owe Iran nothing. But many of the commentators in this site (mostly bacheh akhoonds, previously bacheh geda) still owe something to Iran. Your valinemats in Iran look so aweful that the only way left for you is to smear others and make them look as bad.
Won't work.
For now, times are good and so keep using your ATM machine, aka IRI, while you can, and make everyone else look like the thieves that you are in order to dilute your own thievery.
My take
by Ali P. on Wed Oct 15, 2008 01:21 PM PDTI guess if you ever GIVE to a charity, you can inquire into who RECEIVED any help. Bear in mind, the foundation has a responsibilty to the recepient, not to embarrass him by flaunting his name everywhere.
In all fairness, I never received any help from any of these charities, even when I could be the posterchild of "needy", nor did I ever- not so proud to admit- give to any of them.
So I reserve judgment on them.
Unreal
by Kaveh Nouraee on Wed Oct 15, 2008 10:52 AM PDTIt's amazing how stupid some of you people can be and still be a functioning human being.
What on earth makes you believe that you are automatically entitled to earn a scholarship simply because you applied?
You need to learn the difference between what are rights and what are privileges.

آن دانشجویی که میگه پول زیادی میگیره باید اسمشهم بده وگرنه قبول نیست. دوما که کلاس انگلیس 101 را باید دوباره بگیره چون "آی ام" را باید با یک "آپستروف" بالاش بنویسی. با اون پولها پس چیکار میکردی؟
Cyrus Scholarship
by annonymous (not verified) on Wed Oct 15, 2008 06:25 AM PDTI recall back in 1975 Shah's infamous sister, Ashraf, created a so called educational foundation to financially assist Iranian Students studying abroad. My friend Masoud whose parents both had passed away and was studying at Durham University in U.K. was an "A" student and truly in need of financial assistance. Turns out after making an application and conveying all necessary information, he never did receive a response. I guess just another joke/ show put on Iranians by the Pahlavis. Someopne ought to tell these imbeciles why bother with these sham tactics! Just go live the rest of your filthy lives with all those ill gotten monies.
im a student ....

این بورس ها
امیر کبیر جلوی دانشگاه تهران فقط برای خرید لبو داغ (not verified)Tue Oct 14, 2008 07:44 PM PDT
هرسال یکی دو تا از این گردهمایی ها برگزار میشود و خبر دادن بورس تحصیلی مطرح میشود ولی دیگر خبرش نیمرسد که کدام دانشجو و در کجا بورس تحصیلی را دریافت کرد!
زنگ زدم و سئوال کردم که آقا این بورس تحصیلی راچه کسی برنده شد؟
پاسخ شنیدم که بله یکنفر دانشجو برنده بورس شد ولی بعد از دو سیمستر کشف شد که وی تمام کلاسها را با تقلب قبول شده بوده است. لذا تمام پول بورس را از وی پس گرفتند و با پس گردنی از محل خارجش کردند.
پرسیدم پس آن پول که پس گرفتید چه شد؟ پاسخ شنیدم که آن پول را خرج کورش بزرگ کردند! حالا چی چیش بزرگ بوده دیگر ما نمیدانیم...
