Oh my God, you still don't get it do you?
I am NOT going to Iran to break the law. Surfing sensitive websites is more of a taboo than a law. If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that.
And I know you would love going to Iran, everyone would. It's a fantastic place to visit, with amazing people. That's why I feel such a strong need to protect Iranians against people like who spend so much time, money, and resources discrediting them.
Homosexuality is illegal, you're right but it's happening, and about Ahmadinejad, have you ever talked to an Iranian about that? Don't you realize the man is misquoted on a regular basis by the same media you buy into day in, and day out. Ahmad said we don't have gays like in your country, not that we don't have gays. "In your country" is another way of saying, our gays are not like your gays. He's basically saying the gay culture tolerated in America is unacceptable in Iran. That's not the same as saying gays don't exist. Of course, you have to speak Farsi to notice the subtle difference, but if you gave a hoot about truth, an reality in the Middle East, you'd have talked to at least one Iranian about that by now.
And how do you know I am planning to fuck anyone in Iran? You think I want to access gay sites to find sexdates? You are joking. I don't even do that here, in the West. I am looking to find Iranian friends to further my knowledge about their country, and culture, and most importantly, their opinions about people like you, in America, and Canada who are so against them. You make a lot of assumptions about my intentions in Iran without even knowing a single fact about me.
I asked you about site access to send Iranians messages, of course I will do that before going to Iran, but once I am there, I need to check my daily messages, and that means free access. That was the point of the thread, nothing else. Why you changed it to a political discussion is entirely in your court.
Perhaps it's karma? Judge an entire country, and culture and watch your own culture dissected for its despicable elements on an online forum.
And one of your is exactly right. I am looking to contact a hundred Iranian profiles, and of course they will show me how to do everything in Iran, but I thought maybe there's something non-Iranians could add re the issue of Internet proxies, and filtering systems in Iran.
I can see now some of you prefer to bash the country than answer my question. That is a direct conditioned response taught early on by the corrupt education and media system in your part of the world. It's sick, and unproductive, and you know it.
And you need to hear it.
Listen I never said it's the fault of the victim to get raped. I said in the Iranian legal system, any individual who takes a life is considered a murderer. One can be a victim, and a criminal at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense to you, and it never comes up as an issue in your cop, court, and police movies in America, which is probably where you get all your knowledge, but in Iran it's the law. And you said it yourself, in Iran you follow the law.
And those two boys weren't executed specifically because they were gay. You may remember sodomy was the issue at point, not homosexuality. If Iran considered homosexuality a death sentence, don't you think it would have killed more gays by now? Yet, all you have is the same picture, and story of those two boys, and NOTHING more.
In reality, one of the boys was much older, and sodomized an under aged boy, which is a combination of rape, and sodomy, which in the Islamic system is almost as bad as adultery, and one step further up on the list of no no's.
Your conclusion, therefore that Iran executes gays simple because they're gay is FALSE. In fact, Iran pays for sex change operations for both men, and women who feel like the other. The government takes care of the medical expenses of a portion of its gay population. Does America do that?
Of course, I am not saying Iran has a good relationship with homosexuals, quiet the opposite, but it's unwise to judge them based on that. It only creates an atmosphere of conflict, as Iranians always stick to their guns, remind you of anyone?
And on a final note, in the last few months, due to internal, and external protest, Iran's religious leader, Khameini has passed a fatwa declaring youth executions a judgement of the past. So, even in Iran progress is visible.
You just have to open your eyes, and ears to hear it, or is that asking too much (from North Americans)?
