Hi all. When I think of the past I understand that our government was putting pressure on women to wear scarves. I thought what a bad government it is. And now that I am 18, I understand that I was wrong. Why? Because our young generation has a great interest in western cultures. Now wearing scarves is just a way of showing that I am a Moslem. Some of the girls and as far as I know most of the girls living in Tehran wear flashy cloths and more than half of their hairs fly out. Nearly 80 percent of Iranian girls are really beautiful. And not wearing scarves and putting extreme make up increases their beautifulness and turns them to angels! But the problem is that there are always sick people who would misuse this. I do not know is it good for a girl to be looked at as a sex object? When I was browsing on the internet (on BBC News web site) I found an interview with two Iranians (a boy and a girl) living in the U.S. they said in Iran we could not dress like this and when we came here we thought how free and lucky we are! I wonder how stupid can they get to point out such a stupid thing? If they lived here now they would not say that. Those Iranians who have escaped to the U.S are all timid people who could not face the reality and have always searched happiness somewhere out of their own homeland / religion / and culture. If you take a closer look at such girls and boys in Iran you will notice that some of them (not all of them) have unreasonable behaviors that do not fit our culture and religion at all. We mainly consider them as hooligans. Such things may sound natural to you but for us it is a disaster! I daresay there is nearly nothing left of our rich culture. And this is just fault of satellites. I remember that about 10 years ago government prevented people of having satellites. And now I understand that they were right. Now almost every one has a satellite and government does not do a thing. I can already see that children have changed a lot. They know things that they should not know. They know things that are so early for them to digest and that have caused them to have conflicts with their environment. Young boys and girls would like to mimic things that they see on satellite channels. And every other week they do strange things and they call them {fashions}! I think such boys and girls who claim that they are not (or were not) free in Iran probably have mental illnesses. Such boys and girls say we want to change. But I am asking you is this a good way for changing? I think it is only a good way for ruining your own culture / forgetting your religion / and doing stupid things. As I told you before now everything has changed in Iran. Women are capturing our country. Women are taking all good jobs, good universities. Saying that women are not free here is total foolishness and surely it is because of ignorance. You may say what is wrong with you? Well I am a boy and I do not like to be unemployed. Why all good things are for women? Each country has its own culture and religion that is suitable only for that country. I mean our culture is suitable for us; it is not suitable for you and your culture is good for you not for us. Pay attention that I am talking about culture not religion or politics. What you know of Iran is just based on gossips and lies of Bush and Fox News! Sudden changes in culture would bring some problems along with it. Take Iran for example. People used to be satisfied with what they had. But now most of them are just thinking of money. I can feel that people show off their modern cars and their big houses. I am tired of this. I do not want to be proud. Is this a worldwide problem? Look at the wares, lies, accusations, insults, I think these are all signs of {the end of times} what do you think?
