    We are supposed to know...but we really don't...here is an example...
    Gas prices are pretty low here (about $0.01 a liter) because the government pays most the price to help the people. We have two kinds of gas at gas stations, a normal one (which is a bit cheaper than $0.01) and another one called "super", which is cleaner and better for the car which is $0.01...

    Now...everything seems fine so far...but last week, without any kind of notice, the government stopped paying for the super one, causing the price to jump up to about 5 times as it was before...they STILL haven't cared enough to announce it publicly...I found out about it at the gas station...it just happened...and no one dares to write about it in the papers and criticize, because last week they arrested a famous politician for criticizing the government in a paper.

    That's bad....

    And how is it with sharia? It is the main law in Iran, isn't it? Is it a really hard crime if some girl wears a miniskirt?

    yes it is...no one does it...they arrest the girls even if they don't wear the scarfs...stupid stuff, this isn't even in the sharia.

    Just be careful brother, Bush is gonna want Iran under his belt before he goes and even if Obama gets in we still may very well see war with Iran. I would suggest we all pray that this Neo-Con worldview ceases.

    You're absolutely right.

    I'll be at Ron Pauls demonstration outside the republican convention.

    You know it pisses me off Obama paints himself as this great bringer of 'CHANGE', bullshitting everyone.

    What this is gonna do is create a generation of skeptics, a whole generation of critical non-positive political thinkers.

    These are two catastrophic choices for President.

    In a better world Ron Paul is opposite Dennis Kucinich for President.

  11. What the fuck...

    ...I dunno whether I approve of this or am strongly against it. I despise racism in all its forms but sometimes I wonder whether certain actions like this are exemplary of the 'nanny state' we seem to be becoming...
