Iran gets the hump over camel price link to accident payouts

With soaring fuel costs, chronic traffic jams and the devil-may-care recklessness of fellow drivers, Iranian motorists probably thought they already had enough to contend with.

Now a new hazard has appeared to further complicate matters: rising camel prices.

Insurers, motorists and even President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have got the hump over a decision to link compensation payments for accidents on the country's notoriously high-speed roads to the market price of the slow-moving beasts more commonly associated with desert travel.

Iran's judiciary – which is independent of Ahmadinejad's government – has decreed that from next week compensation or "blood money" for relatives of fatal road accident victims should equal the price of 100 camels.

That will have the effect of doubling compensation payouts from 450m to 900m rials (£52,000). The judiciary spokesman, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, said the steep rise was due to a failure to link annual compensation rates to the price of camels in recent years, meaning awards had been artificially low.

You could not be educated an iota sense of daily etiquette lest alone subjects far more profound such as humanity regardless who the teacher would be.

Though some might divert you back to primary school education in the hope some magic light be fixing you, however, I believe that since the advent of American education spread across the world, the merit of education has been transformed to only "skills" for financial prosperity only. 

Having said that, I believe in the genes only. So as Naser od-Din Tusi
says:

"aankas ke nadanad va nadanad ke nadanad, dar jahle morakab abadoldahr bemanad."

 

So, you see, there is no hope for you regardless who work for to spread non-sense!

My heartfelt condolences on the anniversary of Imam Khomeini's death. Please provide me with your postal address and I will send you a copy of Tahrirolvasyleh if you don't have one at all.

You will be blessed by his wisdom of Islamic knowledge and know that it is in every Muslim's right to have sex with a nine year old,;to fondle under 9-years olds provided that no penetration of the vagine takes place; to have sex with cattle and it is permissible to have sex with one's aunt if you land on her accidentally following an earth quake.

I cannot thank you enough and the supporters of the Islamic Republic enough for keeping the memory of our blessed Imam alive. A man who has culurally enriched us and taught us humanity.

Spare us with your childish tactics, may ya!
