Abgooshtymouse !
by African (not verified) on Wed Apr 16, 2008 01:51 PM CDTHow do you know that I didn't read the article?
How do you know that I didn't praise & admire Simin with another name here?
FYI, I was just messing with Hajiagha, because of his B/S comments and the fact that he makes everything Political & Sexual, even an extraordinary subject such as this one! Which deserves a lot of praise ...
You are making an assumption that is more like a show off on this comment section, but then again, your choice of name here explains it all... :-)
To Hajiagha and African
by Abgooshtymouse (not verified) on Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:39 AM CDTNeither of you bothered actually reading the article about her before getting lost in your own pet project of defending or attacking your points of view? SHE DID HELP IRANIANS! OPEN HEART SURGERY PATIENTS. It says so in the article.
I understand that facts never get in the way of people who are ready to get into hype. The fact is she is motivated by the feeling one gets when one does some good for the sake of doing good. It's a great feeling. You guys should try it, instead of mouthing off from your hard as stone perspectives.
Some people make things happen,
Some people watch things happen,
Some people wonder what happened!
Clearly you have picked which group to belong to!

God bless you! You make us

DIFFERENT BREED
by Anonymous123 (not verified) on Tue Apr 15, 2008 08:20 PM CDTI truly beleive that nurses are of different breed, no matter what their race or nationality is. I think by looking at these people, you can get a glimpse of what angels look like in the next world.
They help and assist anyone, regardless of race, ethnic backgraound, religion. They are true human beings. May God bless you and your family for generations in this world and the world to come.
You have been a beakon on hope and courage to all here.
Love
Why Africa
by Parham on Tue Apr 15, 2008 06:38 PM CDTIf you had read the article, you'd know she has been to Iran too.
Hajiagha!
by African (not verified) on Tue Apr 15, 2008 06:04 PM CDTHajiagha, You ask why???
Because:
-Iran is one of the richest countries in the world with the worst Government on the globe that is run by bunch of psycho/ thieves.
- Iran & Iranians are not just able to live a prosperous lives for themselves, but they can also help many other poor nations, had it not been for this damn I.R. criminals....
- There is no comparison between Iran and some of those African countries in terms of resources... So they are more in need...
And about your question on Blonde girls!!!!
The answer is : They simply prefer the African bodies & the size of their.... Something that you have a lack of...Otherwise, you would have not complained......... :0)
Do you need more lessons and help?
