fucking arabs!!!!what do u know about iran???

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The protesters have a lot of guts. What would people do if someone bought an election in America? Would we be out on the streets risking our lives against the police? We would be using Twitter, but that's about it.

@TheArt4eva Nice to hear about your research, but my 1st question was your view on freedom, as a concept; thoughts?

2 question was about Irans current status, what do you think is important for Iran now?

When talking about language, I speak 5 and current Persian has a lot of Arabic words; the separation has been tried before (at the time of the Shah) but it was abandoned because the languages have been intertwined for over 1000 years now. The "purest" Persian (what ever that is) is Dari.

@Tahmmo alright then :)

well, right now im not in iran but from what i hear, is that we are losing our language. Im currently in 8th grade, and I looked through the books, almost all teh words were arabic... maybe im over-exagerating but we are not even learning how to speak our own language, only arabic. We are learning Arab's religion, obeying their rules, and iran is sort of fading away...right now all we need is some good leaders that give life to our country again....

[Tahmmo]

@TheArt4eva I was not challanging you man, just wanted to know the grounds for your opinion. Theoretically speaking; what is freedom for you? What is important for Iran right now?

[TheArt4eva]

@Tahmmo first tell me ru challenging me, or do u just wanna noe?

if u just wanna noe, well we used to be a free country even though when shah (king) was there, we still didnt have that much freedom , but at least we could say our opinions aloud. i watched videos from that time, no one had to wear hijab, people were free.... then, shah became really mean, and everyone just wanted to choose a new leader. ppl protested, and instead of better leaders we got motherfuckers leading Iran.

[Tahmmo]

@TheArt4eva What do you mean that is used to be so beautiful, but now is ugly? Explain to me if you can.

[TheArt4eva]

shut the fuck up, arabs. where u there when the sound of gunfires made my parents shiver? im 12, never been there. but guess what? I heard all the stories... and ive still been there and saw, the lessons they teach us at school, is trying to develope us as fighters for islam.

FUCK ISLAM!!! look wat it did to us! iran used to be so beautiful, look at it now.

so shut the fuck up, arabs. u were the ones were mainly blood thirsty for.

They will continue immigrating to and destroying Europe and their society, especially Sweden, instead of fixing their own shitty country.
