Other - Society & Culture - 9 December 2006

If they aren't vegans then they're total hypocrites. I'm so tired of seeing scenester types wearing trendy suede shoes, talking about how cruel fur is. If they could afford it I bet they would wear it too, and somehow justify that. I'm not into fur, I don't own any, I don't think it even looks good most of the time, but animal rights activists are total morons sometimes. I have yet to meet one who is sane and logical. I don't see any real difference between eating meat, wearing leather, or wearing fur. People who say that it's "less of a waste" to kill the cow, eat it, and wear it are totally missing the point. Does it really matter if the animal was killed for its meat or its hide? It was tortured and killed anyway. Our society is the most wasteful one on the planet. An animal's corpse will at least rot naturally, and not harm the earth. And people don't even eat all of the cow. They kill it to selectively eat the good meat.

It really sucks... is there any hope for me, or will the next two years of my life be wasted forever?

Because frankly it seems ridiculous that is the case. This country has a situation where if a man acts naturally he is considered a "pervert" because of absurd feminism, and don't get me wrong I'm incredibly left-wing but this country has such oddd views about natural behavior being wrong. One incident was where I heard that staring at a girl counts as harrasment. Harrasment? That's called flirting. So clarify why is America the only country that's like this why can't it remain the values that countries like England, France have? A balance betweeen the Muslim's view of gender roles and this country feminized culture would be a great thing.

And they pose a diferent set of ideas... Why do some people condemn them as conspiracy theories? and ultimately dismiss them without a second thought?

Are they the stupid ones without imagination?

A rich top class businessman or an executive sips a glass of wine or a peg of scotch with his dinner; the poor man enjoys his dinner with the liquor made by local company bought from the local wine store while having dinner. They both do this thing with his family members. But why a middle class man feels shy to do this?
Now it is proven fact beyond any doubt that a glass of wine red/white or peg of liquor along with dinner is good for overall health of human being. Especially Red wine fights against cancer in women and strengthens bones and prevents bone decay with age. This why the reason even Jesus Christ had a glass of wine during the Last Supper. The Indians especially the middle class always think about traditions and all that stuff do not enjoy life to it’s full extent the way people western world do.

Wouldn't that save lives? Wouldn't it be better to provide a public transportation system for them and keep other people safe and alive?

Hi.I live in Iran.Please read the following translations for 5 Iranian pop music and tell me which one you like the best.The singer's albums were chosen as the best pop music for the best and the most meaningful lyrics and the best melody in France.If you like to listen to them just e-mail me and I'll send them to you in no time.Cos I'd sent them to 7 Americans and I don't need to attach them again.They all loved them.

First:(mahboobeye shab)
when the night steps in the gardens, the flowers cannot breathe
when the darkness rains (comes down) from the sky, the blooms become sad
when the darkness doesn't allow the flowers to breathe, the "love flower" stays awake at night
she (the love flower) doesn't allow the night to have any effects on her, her smell can be felt even at the other side of the gardens
if (someone) puts the love flower in a vase, and plants thistles all around her
(even) if (someone) walls up all around her body (existence), (even) if everyone accuses all of her fibers
(even with all these difficulties) the smell of the love flower makes its way to the beyond of all the stone walls
(and) the love flower, has a shelter in the heart of the blooms
at nights when the flowers are sitting in the darkness, and they all have closed their eyes because of the horrer of the night
(and) when their body trembles becuase of the fear of the darkness, you "lover flower" are the shelter for them

Second:(yaade man baash)
you left (me) and your memories have sat down in my mind
without you I'm the prisoner of the impossible wishes (ambitions)
you didn't keep me in your memory (you didn't think of me) but, I broke in the memory of you
I didn't fall in love with anyone but you, (because) you're far from me
sing with me and think of me, think of me (keep me in your memory) without any excuses
when the moon is awake, think of me with all your love
if you be (with me), it is possible to pass the (unfortunate) events
and) it is possible to learn how to burst into flames, in the fire of your love)
if you're away (from me), if you're not (with me), (at least) be the breath of my cry
till the end of the world, forever, keep me in your memory (think of me)

Third:(Tasavvor kon)
Imagine.Even if it is hard to imagine.a world where each person is truly fortunate!Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!Everybody free, totally free! no one in pain, no pain!You wouldn't read in newspapers that whales committed suicide!Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder,no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements!Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!even if you'd lay down your life on this!Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,where all wars of the world are included in ‘The Ceasefire Treaty'!!a world where nobody is ‘The Boss' of the world!people are all equal!Then each person will have an equal share in each single seed of wheat!No border, no boundaries – motherland would mean the entire world!imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!

Forth:(Booseye Baad)(club mix)
The kiss of the autumnal wind whispers to the lonely leaf unmercifully that you'll be the victim of the autumn
The new green leaf loses its green color, it drowns in the kisses of the wind and the horror of the new days
It (the leaf) abandons the tree and wanders around in the alley (becomes homeless), an alley that is the reminder of the gone and futile days
It (the leaf) sits down in the corner of the alley, stares up at the sky, thinks of the past, and feels pity for it (with sadness)
(It thinks of) the days that the alley was under my body's shade, and the kind lover tree, loved the smell of my breath so much
My share of the wind's kiss, what can I say oh my gosh, was all getting yellow-colored and faded, and dying and being forgotten

Fifth:(Panjareh)
When at sunset, the rain hits the (window) glass
All the sadness in the world is in my chest
In the rain drops, my choked voice breaks (intrupts)
I don't want anything but a window anymore
I sit down behind this window and sing
I wait for your arrival under the rain
Under the rain, waiting for you is very different
Sounds like I love you more when it rains
Sometimes when you come, you put your head on my shoulder
You take all the sadness away from my heart
But this is only a dream, a dream behind the window (glass)
When I'm awake, sadness sits down in my throat again (I become sad again)

sorry, if it was too long.And also sorry for the gramatical mistakes.The rest of them are as beautiful as these, but I haven't translated them yet.
