The laws on women took a step backward in 2024, when a series of restrictions were clarified or codified by the old Khamenei. Nonetheless, Iran isn't Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or the rest of the Gulf monarchies. It's not India, where women are theoretically protected by law but are dirt poor, can't read, and still suffer from widespread sexual violence and discrimination. Iranian women are educated and work as engineers, lawyers, doctors, and other serious professions.

See... you say all of that, and I hear just the opposite elsewhere. I don't live there. I don't know. Neither do you or anybody else who doesn't. And the media is not to be trusted. Depending on which source you're listening to, you're going to get an entirely different story. And both "sides" of the media have proven to us over the years that they don't deserve any of our trust.

But what you did just do is post a picture from the 1960s that may or may not even have been taken in Iran and tried passing it off as what life is like for women in Iran today without doing any followup on it like Ted or Second would because it served to bolster your argument against me. Meanwhile, the only two types of pictures I've seen of women in Iran today were either head-to-toe coverings marching in the street in praise of the Ayatollah, or women refusing to wear the hajib while smoking cigarettes and burning pictures of the Ayatollah.

Iran doesn't behead babies or cut women in half. I dont know where Trump gets his delusions from. Probably Netanyahu. It's not a terrorist state, and I'll bet you can't name a single act of Iranian "terror".

Well I guess that all depends on whether or not you believe that over 33,000 protestors were just murdered at the hands of the Ayatollah little more than a month ago or not. If you do believe that, is it not terror if it's done against your own citizens? Would it not be terror if Trump ordered the military to murder 33,000 US Citizens and they followed through on those orders, just because he was doing it to his own people and not to anyone abroad?

And as far as I'm concerned, Iran has been funding terror all over the world. Maybe you don't believe that either. But paying other people to do your dirty work and funding terror by proxy is very much enacting terrorist activities and is no different than doing it yourself.

Quote:
It's not ... or at least, it wasn't ... a threat to the USA.

You say that. And the only other people that say that in America are the Lying Legacy Media, Democratic Politicians and the 11% of crazy always-protesting leftists who hate our country. I'm not sure why you're in alignment with them on this issue, but again, I'm going to look at who's saying what and you're not with good company right now.

Quote:
It is now, tho, thanks to Trump starting a war with them and assasinating their religious leader. So if Iran assassinated our President, well, wasn't Trump the one who started down that path first?

No. Because of all the reasons stated above.

Quote:
No, I'm not a huge fan of Iran's internal laws. But what it looks like to me is that Iran is struggling to develop despite sanctions, and to raise the standard of living for everyone. So, Iran's not perfect ... neither are we ... but that doesn't give us the right to attack and cause widespread death and destruction, and to act like the terrorist state that we are. If we were REALLY concerned about Iranian women, we'd trade with them on terms that would bring their standard of living up.

Actually, it looks like it is time for Trump to declare victory and leave. The Iranians will go back to normal. Ship traffic will go back to normal from two weeks ago, before Trump started killing Iranians. But Trump wants "Unconditional Surrender," meaning nothing will be normal until Trump orders the US military to go home because Iran will NOT surrender. Other Presidents have declared victory and left when the enemy would not surrender. Nixon and Vietnam, for example.

And how well has any of that worked out for us in the long-run, you fool?

Your suggestion to just be a pussy and continue on with the status-quo and continue the managed decline of Western civilization is not an acceptable option, and anyone who still has a few neurons firing and isn't a dopamine addicted fucktard who is unable to look even 15 minutes into the future rejects your proposal outright.

UNLIKE YOU I actually listen to a lot of different "sides" bc, believe it or not, there are more than just anti- and pro-Trump outlets.

One person is Dialogue Works host Nima, an Iranian engineer who lives in Brazil. He's a balanced interviewer on geopolitics, and he was in Iran during the protests. One of his guests turned the tables and interviewed HIM. I learned that the people he was with were getting their 'news' from Farsi- language broadcasts from Britain, which I found odd. Another is Scott Ritter, former Marine Intelligence who did weapons inspections in Russia for our “trust but verify" nuclear treaties, and the other was targeting during our war in Iraq, and then became a UN weapons inspector in Iraq. So he has spent a great deal of time in the mideast. He has many insightful things to say about Iranian politics, Iranian foreign policy and so forth. He's the source of stats on women's education in Iran. Which BTW is bolstered by the various State Dept/ CIA hand- wringing NGOs, which- for all their complaints about women's rights in Iran, acknowledge that women in Iran are well educated and economically as well off as can be in that sanctioned nation. Foreign-based women's rights groups. Pepe Escobar, Brazilian-born reporter who literally travels the non western world, and has been there recently.
Prof Marandi, Iranian in Iran. The Duran. Larry Johnson, former CIA. Too many others to name.
If I had to pick out the most eye-opening interview tho, it would be Scott Ritter's. I hope you work around that broken link, it's really worth a listen.

Just bc I grab headlines from ZeroHedge bc they're convenient doesn't mean that's where I get my info.

They're in the streets, SIX. You won't see that in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. And if their biggest complaint is the hijab, they don't have much to complain about. Compare and contrast to the Gulf monarchies, India, or most African nations.

Well I don't like arguing with you, personally, and I don't want to do it anymore. Like I said, there's nothing we could do about it anyhow, and I don't trust anybody on any side saying anything. And I don't believe there's any point in trying to figure out "the truth" because I don't believe that anybody opening their big fucking mouth about what's happening from any point on the political spectrum really has a fucking clue about what is really going on.

We're almost 1,500 fucking days into the Ukraine/Russia thing, and the Lying Legacy Media and Democrat Party are trying to use 2 weeks of the Iranian conflict to split everyone else into factions.

And it's not working.

The support for the actions against Iran have increased over 3% in the polls over the last week and show no signs of slowing down.

If those assholes with IEDs in NYC were actually successful with their bombs the other day, support for the actions against Iran would have jumped 20% in the same time period. We're only 1 major successful terrorist attack stateside from having near GWB approval ratings for the actions against Iran, and it won't require any grand happening like 9/11. Doesn't even matter if Iran were responsible for it or not, because you know as well as I do that most people are fucking idiots and major events like this shift public perception to the extremes really quick.

Oh, one more thing: Biden didn't destroy our oil production. All oil fields have a limit of economically recoverable oil, and fracked oil fields are more limited than others.

IIRC (from my job. We have a lot of old oil fields around here so I had to research this) the difference is that fracked oil is "tight" oil. Instead of oil flowing in-between sand grains, the oil is held in deposits of harder, more compressed/ consolidated rock like shale. In order to recover the oil the rocks literally need to be exploded (yeah, like with dynamite) and a proprietary mixture of water, sand, surfactant, and antimicrobials are injected under pressure to keep the rock fragments apart so oil can flow.

Then the recovered oil and fracking fluid need to be separated. Each well needs to be regularly "stimulated" or oil flow stops. Its a relatively expensive operation. Not as expensive as tar sands but not cheap, especially when you've more or less tapped that area.

What limits oil production is high interest rates.

Muslims are pure trash, plain and simple, Sigs.

My mind is made up about that because it is the truth.

I am 100% behind anybody who is for removing all of them from the US borders and eradicating that evil cult worldwide.

We don't have to agree on anything, so I'm just going to ignore anything you post to me regarding this issue from now on because I like you and I don't like shit talking you.

They're fucking dead, so good news there. Nobody was killed too, so even better news.

How many times do you think they're going to miss the target or throw IEDs into crowds that don't go off until they're successful?

Get all these fuckers out of our country before we find out the answer to that.
