LOL...There is irony in the fact that Iranian Propagandists can use American forums to deride our way of life.
It is because our government trusts it's people to decide for themselves what is true in a free market of ideas and opinions. We enshrined this principle in our founding documents.
I pray someday that you might enjoy the same, in the meanwhile please take no offense that I find your propaganda unconvincing and that I have no intention of responding to your baiting.
Again...just to drive my point home...would you like to comment on the Iranian government and thier failings? Any criticisms of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad you would like to offer?
You are unable because (a) you work for the Iranian Government or (b) You would be arrested...or likely both.
Either way your inability to do so discredits everything you have posted.

No...No they didn't. And you don't deserve to be somewhere where you have to post nonsense like this to survive. Best wishes.

Could we keep this too a rational discussion based in reality and not invisible sky fairies?
You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to . . . .
Errr no, I say things based on reality. You say things based on fantasy.
Next time you stone a heretic to death for displeasing the lord, let me know how that works out for you in a court law.
Really?
You're going to turn a fine propoganda/hate America thread into whether God exists?
Don't believe in him/her/it/they?
Fine.
YOU are free to believe however you want to.
I am also FREE to believe the way I want to.
Pity some other counties are not so FREE with beliefs.

Well im not too sure about that, especialy after the NDAA Martial Law.
But my point is, I do not believe it too much to ask that people here can have a rational discussion without the interjection of contradictory none sense thanks very much.

But this was just a media game manipulating people inside Iran
God blessed Western Farsi media channels were just claiming that there has been a fraud in the election (mercenaries inside Iran were helping them) , some people who were manipulated got emotional and then they got what they deserved
Because they were taking country into a state that majority of Iranian people didn't want it.
I don't say brutality is what I support , but when some manipulated people are going to do what majority of people don't want , there is no way but forcing them to stop.
The Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI) is now partially owned by the Revolutionary Guards and, in practice, is under their control. The Organized Crime Surveillance Centre, which was created by the Revolutionary Guards, and their official website Gerdab have actively participated in tracking, identifying and arresting netizens. On 20 May 2010, Ebrahim Jabari, one of the Revolutionary Guard commanders, officially confirmed the creation of a cyber-army, which has been responsible for the targeting of “destructive” networks and the arrests of hundreds of netizens.

First, I find it funny that one could blame the media for manipulating the people inside of Iran.....after all, the media in Iran is controlled by the Iranian government. This raises a perplexing contradiction:

Get over yourself. You've proven just with this thread how threatened you are with actual freedom. You talk as if you know the subject, but from the time I've spent with Middle East cultures, I can assure you that if exposed to actual freedom, some (like yourself) would probably soil your tighty-whitys.

Free Democracies protect minorities as opposed to beating and imprisoning them.
Minority rights are a cornerstone of democracy because every member of the majority understands that they are in some way, in some belief, race, gender, religion, political opinion... or have been at some time in the past or will be in the future...a minority
Minority opinions are protected USA, because everyone at some point will be in the minority.
I find the concept that you would vehemently defend your government beating, arresting, and killing those with a minority opinion...well, sad. There has to be a better gig for you there?
It is another principle of freedom in the USA...happy to educate.
Maybe if you had a free and competitive media...?
By the way...I wouldn't trust the Iranian government estimate as to what the majority of Iranians think

Wow...you had that stat quick at hand. What's you day job again?
let me ask you this...the word "founded" caught my attention...pre-revolution? They owned by Americans now? How many free, American owned, news organizations are based in Iran today?
Not talking about CNN, BBC or other news that the Iranian people hack from sattelites when they are desperate for News from the outside.
I'd be interested in a list?
