Iran's Election Day
 

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/...ion/index.html

NOOOOOOOO!!!! Why does Ahmadinefuckup have the lead!! What is wrong with my people? I really hope Iran choses someone a bit less fucked up for once in their lives, hopefully someone who knows how to shave, dress, and not say messed up shit!

why?

what's wrong with ahmadinejad?? or are you trying to pander to the westerners on here? you forgot we're Canada and not the states

in terms of concerns for the state he's done very well, globally he might not be so welcomed but really only in the USA/UK since he's anti USA policy

there's no reason to hate on him

anyway only 19% of the vote is counted so far of which he has 60+% of the votes


even the vaunted discussion on the holocaust is blown out of proportion by the usa because they don't like him they twisted it etc to give him a bad image (this topic alone is worth a book so i wont bother and am prepared for ignorant remarks)

Besides don't believe everything the U.S. media tells you. I know they're reporting saying that the people want change, but that probably isn't the truth.

Besides who cares. Iran has never invaded anyone, or will.

Dude, the anti-semitic shit is pretty well documented. You can't blame that entirely on the media.

So you're saying that you want someone who openly denies the holocaust, says that there are no homosexuals living in Iran, continues to persecute people for their religious beliefs to run one of the most unstable countries in the world? Let alone he continues to enrich uranium for "power sources", not for nuclear bombs. It's like saying, oh North Korea were to keep re-electing Kim Jong Il, if they could.

Iran doesn't prosecute people for there religious beliefs. In fact there are about 10,000 Jews living in Iran.

Also Iran is the most stable country in the Middle East.

Ever heard of the Baha'i faith? You my friend need to do some research

Edit: I did the research for you http://iran.bahai.us/

you mean anti-zionist.... ;)

there are no homosexuals in iran, srsly.

hes a pretty chill guy, i hung out with him

true story

he doesn't deny the holocaust he denies elements of it, he doesnt deny that jews were killed either

but there is much evidence etc to suggest (the most educated of WW2 agree) that there are discrepencies on how things happen and he just wants to discuss and research that... (probably to piss america off as well because america is so staunchly supporting only 1 viewpoint)



anyway he's not even in control of foreign policy and the nuclear situation of Iran some cleric is

I don't get it... so the US wants democracy for all, blah blah blah yet here is a country that has a democratically elected leader but because they don't share the same views as the US, they are all of the sudden in the Axis of Evil? Democracy is a double edge sword. It reflects the wants and needs of the majority and it's not always pretty

I don't think you know how there political system works.

The absolute ruler is not elected and he has the final say on who can run for president.

usa only believies in capitalism it doesnt give a rats ass about democracy

The place is all rioty, moltov cocktail and government buildings burning down and shit.

Sounds like the people didn't take kindly to the rigged election.

the opposition would have called it a rigged election regardless of the result


if he had won by a small amount they would have said there was voter fraud and the difference in votes being a small amount is believable

with the margin soo lop sided they're still calling it voter fraud but on such a massive scale? thats much less believeable

you take this 'don't believe the media' hype a bit tooooooo far.

has nothing to do with the media.... the media doesn't know either they're just speculating and taking the words of anti-iranian groups....

its just a matter of reason

infact my comment had nothing to do with the media... -_-

There is no way of knowing if they were rigged or not. Election monitors were not allowed. But if your not allowing election monitors there has to be a reason why. Most obvious is that your cheating.




"Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli warned that any demonstrations needed official permission, and none had been given."


Stuff like that makes me laugh.

^^^ yea that was a retarded comment, on another note that guys a billionaire



election monitors are in place for 3rd world countries it'd be demeaning to Iran to accept that

not only that who could they trust to monitor the election without fearing they would side with the usa and claim voter fraud (especially in hindsight when americas nemesis Ahmadinejad won)

Election monitors and scrutineers are at all elections including the US and canada. Mir Hossein Mousavi the person running against Ahmadinejad wanted to have his people at polling station to make sure nothing funny was going on. He was not allowed to do that.

A lot of Mousavi supporters are young and use Facebook to campaign for him. A few days before the election facebook stopped working.

so your reasoning is that ahmawhatever won by such a large percentile, that fraud isn't likely?

or to reinforce claims that it was "rigged", i wouldn't be surprised if the US was paying for Mousavi supporters to continue riots (they've done it before and recently)
