I did not call you an IRI thug. I said your behavior in accusing others is similar to them. Do you understand the difference?

"I have been using this site for 2 years now and you are one the first so called democratic person who introduced yourself."

Again, my humble thanks for having such a great interest in me, all the way back to two years past.

I am a democratic person. But being democratic does not mean tolerance for those who are dictators in nature, such as IRI apologists (I don't mean you), or for those who enable the regime in one way or another.

"Just wondering what is your religious believe if that is ok to ask."

I am a morted and mohaareb ba khodaa, according to the IRI that is. But according to myself, I was born in a nasl andar nasl moslem family, was a faithful moslem in my youth, lost my faith, and now I am an agnostic.

P.S. I know your red lights are flashing, but no it does not mean I am against Islam, and no it does not mean I was brainwashed by neocon and zionist plotters. It only means that I am not religion material.

P.S. #2: Instead of busying yourself with my bad behavior, I suggest you focus on the entity that have caused many Iranians physical and psychological scars to have this behavior, namely, focus on the tormentor and antagonist, the IRI, not on an insignificant person like me who does not harm even an ant.

Dear Jamshid

Here you go again. You done it once more.

If you expect others to take your comments with open mind so should you. Anyone who disagrees with you is an IRI thug. That is how open minded and understanding you are. You do not even bother to get to know the person before firing away. 

I have been using this site for 2 years now and you are one the first so called democratic person who introduced yourself. I can tell you with confidence your attitude needs improving.

Just wondering what is your religious believe if that is ok to ask.

Your words and accusations remind me of IRI thugs. I'll let the readers take a look at your own comments and then decide which one of us is the hate raged person. Remember one thing: Accusing is easy, IRI thugs are doing it in Iran left and right. I suggest you choose a different role model.

Since you are trying to show yourself understanding why don't you conduct yourself like an understanding person?

Looking at your past responses and blogs one gets the idea you might be disabled or mentally impaired. DON'T you see this is democracy, one can express himself or herself.

Behave like a democratic person NOT a hate raged person.

In fairness

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

I do not see how anyone would want the IRI over Pahlavis. After 30+ years of hell. Pahlavis were not perfect. I could make a list also. But they were so much better than IRI. Why do people still harbor hated of them defies reason.

Notice

by jamshid on

how some folks here can't muster anything of substance against the Pahlavis. So what do they revert to in abscence of susbstance?

Fahaashi, hochi gari and arbadeh keshi. The usual tools of araazelo obaash in any country and society.

I could create a long list of critisicms on Pahlavis, all with substance and with strong backings. I could argue about these issues against the staunchest Pahlavi supporters by presenting solid and strong arguments.

But this is not the forte of araazelo obaash. Belittling, hochi gari and arbadeh keshi is their shining forte.

They remind me of Khomeini's thugs early in the revolution when they went after the "non-favorable" groups in order to silence them. There is a striking resemblence.


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Pahlavi

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

was the name of "Middle Persian" language. Reza Shah named his family after the name of Middle Persian. Yes he showed real patriotism. I know the haters don't know how to deal with it. Without Reza Shah we would not be anywhere near where we are now. If the Anglo Soviet invasion had not removed him Iran would be a lot better off now. If the Jimmy Carter ; British; idiot Marxist revolution had not happened Iran would be a heck of a lot more advanced now.

So all you Pahlavi haters why don't you go back and eat the fruit of your namk nashnasi and biting the hand that fed you? Yeh you f*** Iran up then ran away to the West. Now my family is scattered around the world thanks to you. Great job you did for Iran keep it up.

What did the Pahlavis do for Iran

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

reminds me of Monty Python Life of Brian:

Just substitute Pahlavi for Romans and you get it right. No thanks to the namak nashnas revolutionary assholes.

Xerxes:
The aqueduct.
Reg:
Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true.
Masked Activist:
And the sanitation!
Stan:
Oh yes... sanitation, Reg, you remember what the city used to be
like.
Reg:
All right, I'll grant you that the aqueduct and the sanitation
are two things that the Romans have done...
Matthias:
And the roads...
Reg:
(sharply) Well yes obviously the roads... the
roads go without saying. But apart from the aqueduct, the
sanitation and the roads...
Another Masked Activist:
Irrigation...
Other Masked Voices:
Medicine... Education... Health...
Reg:
Yes... all right, fair enough...
Activist Near Front:
And the wine...
Omnes:
Oh yes! True!
Francis:
Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if the Romans left, Reg.
Masked Activist at Back:
Public baths!
Stan:
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now.
Francis:
Yes, they certainly know how to keep order... (general
nodding)
... let's face it, they're the only ones who could
in a place like this.

(more general murmurs of agreement)
Reg:
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and
medicine and education and irrigation and public health and
roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what
have the Romans done for us?
Xerxes:
Brought peace!
Reg:
(very angry, he's not having a good meeting at all)
What!? Oh... (scornfully) Peace, yes... shut up!
