[QUOTE=TH89;38602710]Some writing by a friend of mine that's very relevant to this stuff (yeah he talks about Afghanistan in the beginning cause it was in response to a picture of Iran and Afghanistan):[/QUOTE] I love how your friend conveniently leaves out key details about Afghanistan, such as that a Soviet-led coup toppled the government and that the new Soviet backed government went on a political purge, attempting to kill everyone who opposed them. The idea that the entire Afghan resistance was designed by the USA is a myth. All the US did was provide weapons and money to them(actually to the Pakistani ISI, who then distributed it to the mujaheddin cells). Also, your friend trying to label Iran as 'a peaceful nation' is ridiculous. Are they the demon that the U.S. and Israeli governments often claim they are? No. But you can't look at the Iran hostage crisis and their large political purges and claim they are peaceful. And my last point, trying to say they have more political freedom now then they did then is ridiculous. They still have an absolute leader(the Supreme Leader, whom has the ability to appoint the generals, chief justices and the people who decide who is eligible to run for president and parliament). It's barely different from having an absolute monarchy, the only difference is the way the succession works.

[QUOTE=TH89;38602710]Some writing by a friend of mine that's very relevant to this stuff (yeah he talks about Afghanistan in the beginning cause it was in response to a picture of Iran and Afghanistan):[/QUOTE] Wow, that just makes me really sad. To think that the middle east could have been such a great and enlightened place if it weren't for the likes of the cold war and the Britain-American desire for control, such a real shame. It just seems that the wests constant attempts to defeat communism during the cold war has just lead to a global unenlightenment, I mean if you look at America pre cold war, they had some pretty decent policy, especially under the likes of FDR who was actually pretty socialist for a US president.
Well then I just want my country to stop trying to fuck the middle east over the resources there a little off topic though has relevance. Though these religious idiots should fuck off that say that women should not study. I would say that women can be just as good with men as intellect goes so just let them study and make some good advances in technology and become something great.
Fucking extremists

I want the days back when you could wear the equivalent of a miniskirt, like under CYRUS. Thousands of years ago Persia didn't give a shit if you were a woman, you got equal rights. Now these pricks in pair, Khomeini and Ahmadinejad have fucked up the place with that religion, as heretical as it is to the Old Empire's values.

[QUOTE=laserguided;38604146]Glorious, proud and strong communist mine workers and farmers serving for society. Much better then Taliban Afghanistan.[/QUOTE] because regimes the soviet union has installed/supported have all fared so well right?
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;38607959]because regimes the soviet union has installed/supported have all fared so well right?[/QUOTE] what about china
Not good, not good at all. This shit seriously shouldn't be happening... Do we have any authority down there? Or a say in politics?
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;38607959]because regimes the soviet union has installed/supported have all fared so well right?[/QUOTE] To be honest, it's not like it's any less repressive right now.
this is not good
[QUOTE=etrius0023;38607995]Not good, not good at all. This shit seriously shouldn't be happening... Do we have any authority down there? Or a say in politics?[/QUOTE] really...?
In my opinion, since the rise of the internet, the women now have standards to compare themselves to. Eventually as time goes on, the Iran gov will get more pressure from outside to give women universal rights like western powers. Hell, no need to even invade them; Let Capitalism and the internet take them down slowly.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38607987]what about china[/QUOTE] Because China got along SO well with the USSR right? Mao and Khrushchev hated eachother's guts.
[QUOTE=galenmarek;38608318]Because China got along SO well with the USSR right? Mao and Khrushchev hated eachother's guts.[/QUOTE] It was still founded with Soviet help. The Communist Party of China still exists today, and it still runs China.
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;38607959]because regimes the soviet union has installed/supported have all fared so well right?[/QUOTE] They had ample support and were of course.. atheist, but the west shipped fuck tons of guns into the region and soviets pulled out due to some losses. Then the country was fucked for 15 years and its still fucked today because of those very same weapons the US shipped into Afghanistan.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38608453]It was still founded with Soviet help. The Communist Party of China still exists today, and it still runs China.[/QUOTE] China is not communist in practice. I can also say it was founded with German help as well with some officers being trained by Germany and in some cases outfitted with German equipment. It would have went even further had the Japanese not intervened and forced Germany to stop. The CPC was not created just because the Soviet Union endorsed it. Edit: Anyway lets not get off topic and turn this thread into one about China
I've always thought that the Iranian government was wacked out paranoid (and downright delusional) but this just fucking ridiculous!
Knowing how stuff works here in the middle east, they usually outright ban genders from certain fields like gynecology. But this does not make sense or is islamically justified. Secondly, need a better (or lets say iranian friendly) source. From what I understand is that they have put a quota on the number of females applying for certain programs (a bit of an exaggeration in the title) Alot of universities, esp in asia have that sort of thing already. Its not only specific to gender, but society class as well, like, so and so number of seats reserved for students coming from families who are serving the military and other stuff, for donators, etc
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38607987]what about china[/QUOTE] China is slowly transitioning to democracy atm. The government doesn't want to upset the lower classes because they have been fed glorious communism for quite a long time. Its a lot like when the USSR collapsed.
DESTROY IRAN 2012
The Soviet Union fucked over Iran big time, it also didn't help that America and Britain made a bunch coup d'etats that came back and bit them in the ass, and yet they're STILL doing it.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38608453]It was still founded with Soviet help. The Communist Party of China still exists today, and it still runs China.[/QUOTE] China is practically just a one party capitalist state now.
So what CAN they study? Pleasing your husband 101?
Holy shit we should totally go bomb them or something, ya know? Like we normally do to these middle eastern countries.
