The move comes amid a wave of public floggings of mostly young men charged with consuming alcohol or harassing women.

That's sick...



Oh, wait a minute. By "floggings" they aren't talking about... er... "flogging the donkey", are they.... you know. "Wrestling with the cyclops", a.k.a., "boxing the clown". They're talking about tying someone to a post and hitting them with a whip or a stick or something. Got it.

Iranian officials further banned drinking, eating, bathing, sleeping, and breathing. but only for women and young men.

There goes my money making idea: Spuds McKenzie, in women's lingerie, stripping to "Pop" by N'Sync.

Did I read that headline wrong? I expected to see dogs wearing panties and dancing to music.

Public flogging, drinking, and harrassing women. Sounds like a fun time to me!

Everything's on a continuum - the Taliban probably still think the Iranians are degenerates.

Won't panties just be that much more special if they're illegal?
 
2001-08-20 03:39:15 PM
Does anyone have a list of everything that's banned there so far? I'd love to send a Fark care package.

See what happens when you have an Islamic Revolution? No doggies in panties...er doggies and panties.
What would I do with my weekends?

What this does is give them the idea that all americans are deserving of death, which sparks up the suicide bombers and such.

The USA is still bad, but the people are worse. Kill the people, thus freeing the land to be holy.

Haw Haw

They must think the United states is a giant Frat house, imagine what they thought of Bill Clinton's escapades.

Why don't we just get it over with and nuke the crap out of every farking Islamic country.
 
2001-08-20 04:07:07 PM
Good for them! I agree that women should not be allowed to wear underwear!
 
2001-08-20 04:15:20 PM
So I guess my international dancing, pantie-wearing dog show will have to be rescheduled.

Islam sounds pretty stupid.
I'm glad I'm not a brainwashed, Allah worshipping drone.

"...naked mannequins without clothes..."

Hello, Department of Redundancy Department...

So does this mean that naked mannequins *with* clothes are okay?

Hmmmm lets see if I get this right.

Islam is afraid that western influences will disuade people from a "good life" in the name of Allah. So to prevent this they deprive people of what they want and slowly thin out their numbers by flogging and killing people that don't tow the party line.

Eventually they will either have an all out revolution or there will be nobody left. At least the Amish are smart and realize that to win you have to play the game. They realize that their way can't go on forever without changing so they make concessions to pacify people.

I give Islamic religion as it is now another 20-30 years MAXIMUM before its gone.

Oh, I don't know.... "totally gone" is a bit extreme. I bet like anything else, there will always be little splinter groups, and the more moderate, mainstream Islamic factions will probably always be around, just like how most Christians aren't in fact bible-thumping, angel-tossing Chick-freaks... most of them are moderate, mainstream believers in something they were brought up to believe.

The radicals will eventually burn themselves out, as well as lose membership to "the real world" as 1st world "culture" and technology simply become too widespread for those bass-ackward folks in Iran and Afghanistan to avoid. It's only a matter of time.

Cranky: Bravo!

It's truly ironic that people who value their cultural and genetic "purity" are ultimately self-defeating (separatists, isolationists, supremacists, and the like). Variety is more than the spice of life - it's good for the genome. Isolating a culture is the surest way to putting it at an evolutionary disadvantage. Not to mention, it invites all sorts of genetic diseases into the culture. But this argument doesn't mean much to those that probably don't believe in evolution.

hmm...western influences? well...ban cars, planes, bikes and most modern weapons...i won't say gunpowder, since it was invented in china, but i will say most modern weapons...

I've outlawed panties in my household -- if my wife wears one of those little sundresses, she knows not to wear anything under it.
 
2001-08-20 06:24:24 PM
Is murder still legal in Iran?
 
2001-08-20 07:09:57 PM
Too bad Islam doesn't outlaw machine guns, chemical weapons or suicide bombers.
 
2001-08-20 08:30:03 PM
Y.Dload, I beleive under Iranian law it is legal for a man to kill his wife if her dowry/treasury what ever, is not as big as her family promised when they married or if she cheats on him.
 
2001-08-20 08:42:37 PM
I once farked an Iranian woman whose panties were this (--------) big......... Ughh..... never mind......
 
2001-08-20 08:46:53 PM

Do the world a favor aim your nukes at afghanistan and iran and push the red button. That would be great no more muslim fanatics and less nukes.
 
2001-08-20 09:26:34 PM
You know, maybe they are onto something. Maybe I am just getting old but maybe there is such a thing as corrupting influences. I don't think our way of life has always been good for us either.
 
2001-08-20 10:28:33 PM
We always smash the Muslims...

but


WHY ISN'T THE MORMON CONSPIRACY UNEXPOSED???
 
2001-08-20 11:17:28 PM
I was just joking about the murder thing, sort of.
 
2001-08-20 11:44:24 PM
Next, they'll be busting farmers for growing fruit or veggies that look like boobies!
