No Arthimis, I'm a fourteen year old Ukrainian girl living in a harem in
Dubai.

Someone earlier had mentioned the Occam's razor, which I think
is a useful guide line to follow when knowledge of facts are scarce.

Keep it coming Arthimis, I may not agree with you, but I love your creative thinking.

Oz, Harry Potter? LOL ... Are you an American or an Iranian who is raised in America or in the West?

‎I hope you and millions with your mentality and opinions on world's politics and affairs will wake up some day!!!

Having said all that, as Bertrand Russell rightfully said: "I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." ! :-)

That makes absolutely no sense dude. I think Harry Potter is more believable to me than your story.

Oz! Apparently you do not

by Arthimis on

Oz! Apparently you do not understand how I.R. is doing business in the past 31 years!!! This regime is installed by the world super powers to start with.... Iran is one of the TOP 3 producers of natural oil and gas in the ENTIRE WORLD, OK!!! Do you comprehend the caliber and magnitude ? The wealth of Iran is endless, so no matter how much I.R. supposedly loses, Entire Iran loses, Mullahs/I.R regime have an endless wealth, income and paychecks due to this enormous/endless amount of our wealth under the ground!!!

All these "fronts" are bullshit!! They are designed deliberately for sheeps like us to believe... I.R. is the biggest "Business Partner" with world Super Powers (mainly for their benefits) and has been working directly and indirectly for world 's super powers with the help and influence of different fractions within I.R. system, or else these bastards would NOT even exist by now!!! Meanwhile, the ugly I.R. gets their cut/ percentage, rules the whole nation and remains safe from any harm.... World Powers have different technics to exploit idiots like us 3 top producers of oil and gas. They own Saudi Arabia, They attack Iraq with military and work with I.R. behind the scenes...

Wake up buddy, Life is too short to remain a sheep!!!

I see your point, but still don't understand why no one is talking about the issues Afshin was talking about, rather than who pays his bills. I think in an honest dialog, you talk about the issue a man raises and not the man himself.


Tavana

"OZ" Dear

by Tavana on

That means in a land of “fallacies” you could hire a British speaking puppet for 100 times of its worth and ask him to act/repeat after you what the “wishful thinking” majority would like to see & to hear!! And that is how the regime puppeteers in our country are benefiting from such transaction!!

Your assessment of the IR business scheme makes no sense what so ever.
By buying something that is worth a dollar for a hundred dollars you're
only proving that the seller is making loads of money. How is IR doing
well through that transaction?

I still maintain that your first two links are complete nonsense and have
nothing to do with Afshin. That doesn't make me gullible, that makes
your links unrelated to topic.

Secondly, I still think that you can't disprove what a man says by simply pointint out to where he works. Does everything he say immediately become refutable because he works, or at some point
worked for Press TV? That is the lack of honesty in the discourse that I
was talking about Mr. Kadivar.

Ladies and Gentelmen, You

by Arthimis on

Ladies and Gentelmen,

You all know by now that I am perhaps one of the biggest Anti-I.R. people here!  But I think many have NOT really listened to him carefully! He is NOT necessarily supporting the I.R.! He is a journalist who is expressing his opinion (as unfortunate as it sounds...) It is very possible that I.R. is doing well because this Evil regime is the biggest and most profitable "Business Partner" of the most powerful world powers... For example, any thing Iran could normally buy for $1.00 Now has to buy anywhere between $100.00 and up for the same thing!!! Why? Because Iranians are dangerous! See, World Powers need an asshole like Ahmadinejad to justify their evil actions at the cost of Iranian lives and sucking our national wealth dry and to death.... Who in the right business mind want to let go of such fantastic business partner (behind the scenes) ??!!

I.R. has been working directly and indirectly with all those world powers that toppled Shah! It must be as clear as a day light to everyone by now!!! C'mon nation...

dear God, Please Free Iran and Iranians from this nightmare!

Those links you have don't make any connection between Afshin and Press
TV. Even though I don't deny that connection, but those links are BS
dude.

The capacity to hear

by oz on

The capacity to hear anything other than what we like to hear is nonexistent. Hence, an honest political discussion here is a fantasy.

Well, at least the IR is doing a good job with its propgandists

by Anonymous Observer on

on the airwaves.  The guy is articulate and--for those who don't know his background-- kind of convincing.  By contrast, look at what they're stuck with here on this site.  A collection of transparent and incompetent liars, paranoid schizos, fools and American white trash.

all you have is "reflex".

People know not to look for any kind of reasoned and substantive analysis from you by now. I think your snap judgement based on clothing fits the bill quite nicely!

Reminds me very much of Vladimir Posner the USSR articulate propagandist back in the 70s-80s during the cold war. This is laughable attempt at bullshiting the viewers :o))))))).

He got that Islamist Rapists’ Press TV look.  Is he connected to that bastion of avoiding truth at all cost wishful thinking outlet?
