Iranian babe thread?

I thought photoshop was the ongoing meme with Iran right now.

Nice headline, subby. +1

INTERTRON: Iranian babe thread?

It's bad mojo to ask for boobies in the boobies.

Cock blockers.

The woman was "improperly dressed and in an obscene situation," Press TV said.



Time to use some peaceful, scientific stones on her.

The man had "indecent sexual relation[s]" with an Iranian woman in his car, Iran's Press TV reported, citing Iranian police.

So they were holding hands?

85 tools. Add a chain and you've got a mace, making it 86 tools.

The "sexual relation" occurred after the diplomat promised that he would marry the woman

What wont we say for a little road-gobble?

No, that would mean the death penalty. They were looking at one another in an inappropriate manner. Rumous has it that she may have removed her headscarf, but that sounds like a fabrication by the decadent Western media to me.

WTF? Why does the Swiss embassy in Iran have a U.S. Interests section?

Dear, does this glad bag dress make me look fat?

Theological Farker: WTF? Why does the Swiss embassy in Iran have a U.S. Interests section?

As the United States does not have diplomatic relations in Iran, the US goes through the Swiss embassy, IIRC.

This thread is relevant to my interests, actually. Pretty interested in getting into foreign service at the State Department and specifically working on the Iranian situation.

Yes, I know the risks. However, I think it's one of the better callings in life, and, well, hell, someone's gotta do it. The entire world would benefit from better US-Iran relations.

Might have something to do with some radical islamists in Iran storming our embassy, imprisoning our people for 444 days, and sweeping Jimmah Carter out of office. Link (new window)

Since then the Swiss have been kind enough to handle some of the necessary dealings with those kooks.

Imagine that. I just learned something. On Fark. Early in the morning. Whoda thunk it?

I personally think the tweezers suck!

Wow, that's just terrible. You know what we should do? We should overthrow their government and prop up one that shares our values. We'd be greeted as liberators.

/of course, since I'm talking to a Republican, I guess a repressive theological regime pretty much already shares your values.

I imagine heads will roll over this diplomatic incident.

I've had premarital sex in Iran, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

/It's also important to know, that for me and most sane people in Iran, these acts take place in a residential home, and not out in public so the police can catch you. If you go to Iran, by all means, have fun. But don't be stupid.

Doesn't Switzerland take care of US interests in many other places where the US have no diplomatic relations (and vice-versa)? They had in Libya. They have in Cuba. And they represent Russia in Georgia.

Got a couple books for you to read. "Children of Jihad" by Jared Cohen. It's about an American Jew (you know he was scared) traveling across the middle east and talking to the youth of Iran, Syria, Jordan, Palestinian refugee camps, and northern Iraq (Kurdistan, basically). Very enlightening book, and definitely important to anyone wanting to know what is going to happen to the Middle east in the next couple decades.

Also, "My life as a traitor" by Zarah Ghahramani. It's a true story about a college student that was arrested for questioning the regime. Pretty frightening stuff, I think. It's also a good look at what life is like in Iran. Sad to say the woman in the news article will go through what Zarah did.

I can get some Amazon links if you want them.

They most used tools on my Swiss Army Knife

The Mavrick: /of course, since I'm talking to a Republican, I guess a repressive theological regime pretty much already shares your values.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Let's bring a radical version of (X)ism to this country and force/coerce 98% of the people to embrace it. We'll wage verbal warfare with the Jews, supply weapons and moral support to the countries surrounding the Jews, and build some ICBMs and start a nuclear program to finish the job that Hitler didn't quite finish. We'll force women to walk around in potato sacks, since men suddenly won't be able to control their baser instincts and stone the women if they get out of line. Let's have street corner executions with a building crane to raise dissenters by their necks, just to keep the folks in line.

I'm sure other countries will wholeheartedly support our new theocratic regime with a group of zealots with fingers perched above the nuclear football, as we sink back into the 7th century.

\ But go ahead and worry about that guy and his family that go to Church on Sunday, pay their bills and taxes, cause they're the 'type' that make you lose sleep at night.

INTERTRON: Iranian babe thread?

I did that a few weeks back. Don't remember the exact date/link, have it bookmarked on my work PC. But feel free to look for it.

Theological Farker: WTF? Why does the Swiss embassy in Iran have a U.S. Interests section?

So Iran's smartest students can get visas to study in the U.S. Iran has an interests section in the Pakistani embassy in DC too.

Same here. People thought I was nuts for wanting to go over there when we reopen our embassy, but my excuse is that I want to be the next hostage in Tehran. Seriously though, I'd feel safer there than in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or any other South Asian /ME countries. Iranians and Americans are much closer than recent history would have one believe.

/tried learning Farsi, but it is too farking hard for my old honkie ass

Police said they spotted the car with diplomatic plates in a parking lot and caught the diplomat. The woman was "improperly dressed and in an obscene situation," Press TV said.

Diplomatic Immunity!

FTFA: secretary of the U.S. Interests section of the Swiss Embassy.

Yeah, but does it have a mini-crossbow or blowgun?

/missed it by that much.

Will definitely check them out; thanks for the suggestion.

Or you can talk to people that have and still do live in Iran.

I'd be real interested in learning more of what your friends dealt with in Iran, if you don't mind sharing. How scared are they on a day-to-day basis? Are they afraid of a Hitler-type "Final Solution" scenario?

Wow. I can't believe some people really think this is what it's like.

If you're joking, that's not funny. If you're serious, then I would surmise that the answer is "no".

Persepolis:

No, I'm not joking. It's just that it's hard to know how crazy the mullahs really are. So, once again, are they afraid of religious persecution? I didn't mean to insinuate that I wanted the regime to do this (I don't know where you got that) or even that I thought they wanted to do that.

But we're talking about a religious minority in a strict religion-based government where said government has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, how does the Jewish population view their government? It was an example that was a bit extreme, I'll admit, but I really want to know how scared the religious minorities are of the nut cases in charge.

/Maybe saying Hitler was going to far?

With some anxiety, but given that Jews and Muslims have coexisted in Iran since Islam was introduced there, there is no reason for them to expect that they won't continue to. Culturally, they are still all Iranian, and that's much more binding for them than religion is dividing.

It just gets difficult when the minorities try to move up in the govt or military. Not very different than it used to be here, as well as any other country. I know an Iranian Jew that ended up defecting after he was "relieved" of his job in their Navy. According to him, he was treated with extreme suspicion and canned a few years after joining. Not that they knew that he was Jewish, but when you don't join in the frequently encouraged prayers, you're viewed as an outsider. Atheist, Christian, Jew, doesn't matter. He wasn't "one of them". So when they wanted to "question" him about espionage or something, he hopped on a bus for Turkey and knew he couldn't come back. His parents were slapped with a fine, and now he wears his star of David proudly on his neck.

What the govt there does is stamp out organizations that are a threat to the regime. Think NAACP-style NGO's. They won't tolerate that.

The Israel factor is very misleading. There has been a very effective conflation of Jew-hating and Israel-hating. Personally I view the two as being entirely exclusive of each other.

There is only one religion in that country that is truly persecuted and that is Bahai. Other minority religions just experience discrimination like they would anywhere else.

Thank you for the clarification, and I'll look into the Bahai. Thanks.

Treatment of the Bahai has been horrible. It's one of the worst aspects of Iran, by far.
