Top Iranian General Killed in Airstrike

[oldbadger]

I'd have to know more about the country & the security.
Please...no tedious analogies to make some point
which you could just come out & say.

Already demonstrated.
Please..... no tedious pretenses that you didn't understand......

The EU are known appeasers of Iran.

Just a sec.........
After reading hundreds of your posts over matters about Islam, Islamic countries, etc etc..... would I be right in believing that you have a driving thrusting agenda against same?

If I'm right, how can we read any of your comments as objective viewpoints?

 

[oldbadger]

So you understand it isn't always accurate but you will take what you can get..

That might apply more accurately to extreme right wing Trump followers, actually. All you have to do is adjust your 'always' to 'ever'.

 

[Shad]

What does that mean.
Polls showed that Clinton would get elected by the American electorate. And she did.

Polling was used to predict electoral votes too you know.

Interesting.....
So many Limey fops are as war mongerie as our loonies.

I feel sorry for the Iranian people and what Islam has done to their country.

This man of Iranian heritage tells it like it is –

The above is a propaganda bypass.

The Shah was right when he said the Mullahs would take the country back 1500 years.

I hope they shed theocracy some day.

Perhaps the problem is that your understanding of Iran is less than excellent?

I'm no expert either. But I'm commonly appalled by what American people think that they know about Middle Eastern countries, and our history there.

From your comment, I take it that you must be someone who actually knows a lot about Middle Eastern countries.

Since you interjected yourself into the conversation, and since you know a lot about Middle Eastern countries, you can explain how someone in Iran can use a Religious Forum based in the US.

You might want to investigate the phrase "I'm no expert, either".

But yeah, I spent some serious time getting to know a batch of various people at a mosque in Bloomington, Indiana. The things I learned from them were quite eye-opening.

[Heyo]

Not in the current situation. A foreign threat is usually good for the status quo.
But I think they will eventually. The Persian mentality is more like the Western than that of the Arabic countries.

It seems so to me too.

I'd like us to shed our slavish devotion to capitalism. But the capitalistic leaders are not much more likely to allow that than the theocratic leaders of Iran.
So I'm not holding my breath for either happy outcome.

Better results than a slavish devotion to socialism.
There's a reason you people don't emigrate to such places.

That's a bit tough, innit?
I'm a Brit, @Kangaroo Feathers an Oz, etc etc. Why shouldn't a Mid East Muslim come to RF as well?
@ Chinu is in the Punjab ...... The whole special thing about RF is it's international membership.

I assume that he has a computer & internet access,
as do all the other posters from around the planet.
We need Iranians' input especially now.

Yeah, they will grow up into strong, hardy men and women. It is the fault of their parents. If they go to school, they will get books, dress, one time food free of any cost. Education for poor people is completely free in school, college and graduate levels. Actually not sending children to school is a crime in the books, the problem is that we have a population of some 1350 million people. The children do not get any money for helping their parents. They are doing it because they are there. There are many people who have risen from the poorest strata of the society to highest positions.

"The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE) is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between the age of 6 to 14 years in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. India became one of 135 countries to make education a fundamental right of every child when the act came into force on 1 April 2010."
Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 - Wikipedia

The bottom line is in America we have laws against child labor. In America, children must attend school until age 16.

In India, you say there are laws ensuring that children receive an education, but that they don't because they have to help their parents.

By helping parents, you mean...

No it's not.
And anybody who looks at objective data from socialist places like Israel, Denmark, New Zealand, Canada, and such can see it.

There's a reason you people don't emigrate to such places.

No, it isn't about tolerating capitalism.
I've got family here. Many are oldsters who need me, and my partner.

If we could pack up our parents, kids, grandkids, assets, etc.,
we'd be out of Christian Capitalist Trumpistan faster than you can drive to an antique metal fetish club.

NOTE:
1960 The first oral contraceptive, Enovid, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as contraception.

ALSO: If there are over a billion people, why do children have to work? One would think that there would be enough adults to do the work.

Yes, the above is sarcasm.

The official investigation concluded Epstein hung himself

The official investigation into the murder of Seth Rich is that he was killed in a robbery gone wrong.

If you doubt the official story in the Epstein case could you not doubt the official story in the Seth Rich case?
why or why not

As I said in a previous post, way off topic. My apologies for including Epstein in my original post to you because you seemed to be in favor of assassinations...

Would you endorse the assassinations of Trump or Pence? Would you endorse the assassination of The Whistleblower? Do you endorse the assassination of Jeffery Epstein?

You did not respond to the main portion of my post regarding the assassination of Trump and Pence and The Whistleblower.

Uh-huh. Pretty happy with my initial point, actually. I suggest it is you that fails to understand the amount of indoctrination you recieve. That's OK, you can't help it. It's one of those "fish have no word for water" type things.

Perhaps you can give some examples of the type and "amount of indoctrination I recieve".

Brainwashing is something of a loaded term, but the American national cult is what I'm talking about. The myths of your founding and founding fathers are practically religious.

Actually, you asserted:

I suggest it is you that fails to understand the amount of indoctrination you recieve.
​

I asked for examples and the best you can do is respond vaguely about the myths of the Founding Fathers - without being able to provide any real examples.
