Protests in Iran
 

In Tehran, Iran, protesters have clashed with police. A 22 years old woman died in hospital in Tehran on Friday following three days in a coma. She was arrested by the Iranian police on 13 September for violating the law requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf.

I was reading about that last night. Their government is claiming "It was a heart attack" (at age 22 :lol:), but her father said she had severe bruising all over her legs and they refused to let him see the back of her head before they took her body away.

Beaten to death by the "Morality Police" because her hijab was "too loose". F*cking lovely. :roll: Skull bashed in because she might have had a few wisps of hair showing and that's "tempting" to the f*cking animals who can't control themselves.

Keep raising the f*cking bar, Islam. The inherent irony of "The Morality Police" smashing a girl's skull in for no reason will go entirely over your heads, I'm sure. But yeah, it's all about Peace and Love.

I hope the women over there go full-on revolt. Forget burning their headscarves, I wanna see 'em start setting their husbands and the politicians on fire instead.

Heard about this the other day via an Iranian citizen. Supposedly obvious signs of concussions, etc. Sorry, but this is what the extreme conservative kind of crap (to the level parts of this nation seems to be craving) leads to, harmful restrictions and overreactions to things, like hurting someone to the point that they die because of a clothing choice, and there is no sense to it. Bad enough there are dress requirements that, if not followed, wouldn't make the would collapse, but you'd think there might be reasonable "punishments" like, oh I dunno, a fine?

So some women dies because she had HAIR, that her deity apparently wanted her to have or it wouldn't have grown atop her damn head, by theist logic.

What they don't want you to know is that The Handmaid's Tale is actually an historical text that was written by a time traveler.

Getting to the point I'd just about believe it.

Also a time-traveler, can confirm.

Also, the Mets eventually win the World Series again. But I forget what year. So I think what you guys should do is just bet everything you have on the Mets, every year. Trust me on this, it's a lock.

You forget? Now wait, it could literally take you 0 minutes to go check. lol

If I were properly motivated.

And that'd be 0 minutes in "your time" but for me that'd be like literal years of searching and cutting through the chaff to try and figure it out. :lol:

I dunno, I think being able to return to the evening before you hit 40 sounds like reasonable pay off? lol

I'd rather keep going back to the night I lost my virginity but I like that you're thinkin'. :lol:

Or it's called Islam and their religion literally calls for the death of those who disrespect it, lol.

it's not the conservatives doing that. your Dem friends are literally running over republican teens because papa biden said maga is an extremist group that needs to be dealt with. and that's one death we know about.

So we're just gonna pretend the far right-driven abortion ban stuff isn't going to kill some women when something went wrong but they are forced to carry to term. 'Kay.

You guys over here ignoring that I said "extreme" to purposely exempt normal non-extreme conservatives from my comment. Hm. Moderates are so few?

Women talk about "exceptions for rape and incest, and fetal abnormality". Republicans say "You don't need them, that stuff never happens. Stop acting like stuff that happens .01% of the time is even worth talking about, it's not!"

One (1) liberal nutjob runs over a guy: "YOU DEMS ARE ALL OUT HERE PLAYING FROGGER WITH OUR KIDS YOU F*CKING LUNATICS OMFG"

I mean, I'd love to try and paint a more clear picture but the hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness rather shines a light on itself, I find. :lol:

As George Carlin once said, "You COULD just outlaw religion and ALL of these problems would take care of themselves within a couple of generations..."

because I personally think conservative and extremism don't belong in the same sentence. isn't that where alt right and alt left came from? if it's that extreme, it's something else, like islam.

as for 'one nut job'.... the MSM is controlled by the democrats. I only found out about that 'one nut job' by browsing twitter comments on the presidents timeline. imagine how many more go un reported cause 'doesn't fit the narrative?'

And I think ANY sensible thinking conservative agrees their should be exceptions to the abortion ban.

if you let the extremists on either side win, you get iran.

The story about the lone nut wasn't suppressed, it showed up in my Yahoo News feed in no fewer than 5 separate articles by 4am last night and I wasn't even looking for it. If the mainstream media is trying to squash the story then someone should tell them that's a bad way to go about that.:lol:

that explains it. didn't even know yahoo was around.

aol didn't have it either..... :roll:

I scroll Yahoo because it's like the Reader's Digest of internet news. You get a little of everything and then you make up your own mind.

I just caught this part. Maybe it wasn't on AOL because IT AIN'T NINETEEN NINETY-SIX GRANDPA LOL LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO :lol::lol::lol:

The "no true Scotsman fallacy" helps no one, it only avoids solving problems.

It's either acknowledge as an extreme faction within an ideology or those who are truly not extreme in their mindset (or actions) need to consider some rebranding to disassociate themselves.

Unfortunately we seem to have plenty of that sort.
