Thank god I got a job! Or, he really wants a BIIIIIG government job.
How long should hajaga let mollas control him? I would not even waste a minute (or penny) on politics.

Yes that's a very good idea. Haji......

by Rosie T. on

why don't you go to downtown Vancouver and draw pictures of the tourists?

Re: Rosie

by Toranj (not verified) on

I surely don't know what is hiding behind the names. This applies to almost everyone anonymous.
What I try to say is that the way hajaga expresses his views portrays him as a commie or mojahed and we know what they have done to Iran - more damage than Mollas. His way of propaganda resembles the TV shows in Rangarang that the leftists have.
The point is for how long the great people of iran has to pay for animosity among some factions of the nation. Our history is full of traitors and ajnabi-parasts and they come in every uniform.
If Hajaga was in the war fighting to kick saddam out, he can be more proud to consider himself a hero than cursing this and that - Just like many other soldiers and pasdars I've seen living a normal life, being successful in good'ol US of A. True they have bitter memories but the fact that Hajaga built this image of loosing his life for nothing in return except aghazadeha climbing up his back and exploiting nation's wealth. There are many fake characters built up for the sake of destroying our unity and peace. You know what Shah's subs exploited country, Aghazadeha did it, do you want to tell me that the next Tarajgar-mardan who will assume power won't do it? In our culture, the stealing is good if I do it but it's bad if someoneelse does it!
So, Yes All I get from the character (his writings) he has built for himself, portrays someone who is blinded by hatred. This type of character is not only necessary for betterment of our country but it's detrimental to it's future. We need some characters who are visionary and pragmatist. No room for people who are driven by their arrogance and hatred.

Mokhlese tamame kasani ke janeshan ra mokhlesane dar rahe vatan dadand va ya be khatar endakhtand. Damshan garm. Man fekr nemikonam anha ke intoor raftand baraye jang, az nazare roohi kam avorde bashand! Chon midanand ke baraye che raftand.

If he truly likes to make a living, I suggest him to go and sit in downtown and draw cartoons of tourists - There's big money in it! It fun and satisfying for a kind soul like hajaga.

Khar / jaan

Yes I read a post somewhere here from a guy who actually said he got blown up while f-ing a khar during the war. I think he said he lost limbs. Someone questioned him and he insisted it was true.
Funny, huh?

Toranj...

by Rosie T. on

I'm pretty damn sure Haji was in the war...

But what if there's only a one percent chance that Haji was in the war? Are you willing to risk the damage you could do to him by saying that he wasn't, even if it's only a one percent chance? Don't you know how that war destroyed the soldiers' lives?  Would you want to take a one in a hundred chance of destroying one life even further?

 To what end do you say these things? Why?

I found this in the archives a few weeks ago.  I think it's the first time Haji ever contacted this website. Perhaps you'd like to see it.

Are joone ammat, Hajaga!!!!!!!!! in your dreams you were in the battlefield. Not even on Saddam's side of battlefront!!!!

Why??
What I would have liked to do at the time would have been to delve into your brain, and find out what your rationale was for your thoughts and actions which lasted over 10 years!!
... with your background... why? What caused the enormous change of heart, and back.. and for so long??

Collective sigh of relief

Collective sigh of relief for all Iranian.com readers: khoda ro shokr ke shaheed nashodi. That hezbolahi ass of yours should be whipped for what you did. Even if you don't believe in it any more. I think we should all contribute to giving mohammad a good kotak.

The amazing thing about the photo of Zahra...

by Rosie T. on

is that, there she is, a "nun with a gun" so to say, and...

did you notice the Cross in the background?

Four years ago when all this "began" for me, I saw a picture of the Martyr's Fountain in Mashad in Chelkowski's and Dabashi's "Staging a Revolution", and I knew then that in some profound way, Shia Iran is a VERY Christian country....

and as a former Hispanicist, of course, I mean a very PROFOUND kind of Christianity...

War is simply horrible...

by Jesus (not verified) on

Let there be no doubt that any Iranian with an ounce of Iranian blood can not begin to completely appreciate the sacrifices made by all of our soldiers. They defended the motherland with their sweat, blood, youth, and lives.

Let there also be no doubt who was responsbile for the war! It was not America, nor Israel, or Europe. It was that evil Saddam, instigated by another killer Khomeini, and his gangs who continued the war beyond '82 to enrich themselves, and consolidate power.

All these degenerate IR supporters of Iran's nuclearization tell us to learn the "Iraq Lesson". How about you degenerates learning the Iran-Iraq war lesson. This is not an issue about nuclear power, this is an issue about a dictatorial, mass murdering regime trying to stablize itself by acquiring nuclear weapons. They could care less about Iran's welfare. The ahmaghinejad gang are taking this country once again to the brink of war, as that evil khomeini did with his Qods, Karbala statements.

No Iranian would stand by if a foreign country says that the path to Bombay is through Tehran. Why would we think, or should expect that Israelis, or Iraqis would stand while IR was and is making those kind of statements.

Thank you for sharing

by EDS (not verified) on

Really interesting and presented well too. Contrary to the self-deprecating comments you like to make (I really do not know why you are so found of it,) you are a good writer and an excellent story teller: simple, from the heart, and easy to read English.

As for the content, it truly does appear that the chances of war with Iran is growing. If others within the regime do not manage to reign in Sepah and Ahmadinejad then unfortunately I think it is a near certainty that the US will bomb Iran, really mostly for the sake of Israel. And as your pictures show unfortunately war is always devastating no matter what.
