President Ahmadinejad Speaks, at Columbia University and at the United Nations Options

[The Fanatic]

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/24/us.iran/index.html

The most interesting part of his entire speech is when the president was questioned about the persecution of women and the execution of homosexuals. At first he avoided the question talking about the execution of drug traffickers and people who "broke the law". When he was finally forced to answer, he claimed that Iran did not have "this problem" aka homosexuals in Iran , unlike the united states and other western nations. I laughed out loud when I heard this ridiculous claim. Perhaps homosexuals are not entirely "open" about their lifestyle in Iran because of executions, thus they do not exist and are not a "problem".

He also kept on claiming that the holocaust needs more research/scientific and scholarly criticism, as is true with other fields such as physics. However, he fails to realize or admit that there is actual forensic, eye-witness, and living people who can account for the holocaust, unlike some principals of physics.

Any other thoughts?

I have no problem with allowing foreign dignitaries the right to speak in America or about American politics. But when we allow an obvious enemy of the United States (someone who potentially jeopardizes our way of life) to come to our own country and speak about our practices is absurd. What makes his speeches any different over here than the shit he spews standing in front of his countrymen?

I know you're trying to be objective and open minded....but for fucking christ sake holy lord jesus and all things good....it's the president of Iran. He's said so much bad shit about America, stood with Hugo Chavez at hate rallies against America, looked at the camera and said he wants to erase the west from existence...AND YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT THIS FUCK HAS TO SAY? Do you honestly think you're going to obtain any worthwhile information from an obvious publicity stunt for his own agenda?!!!!!

Next we'll hear that Osama Bin Laden wants to make a fucking speech and you guys will want him to come in so you can "drill" him and ask him questions. We'll be giving him full protection because THAT'S WHAT AMERICANS DO!!Q!!#@!!!!
FUCK THAT




The only question these fucks deserve to be asked is where they want the bullet....in the heart or in the head

I'm curious on how Iran can potentially jeopardize our way of life. I have a hard time believing some 3rd world country (regardless of who it is) will destroy the American way of life. I guess we should watch out for the Ugandans next...

Oh btw, my friend came back from Iran. Said that everyone over there thinks that the prez is a puppet anyways and don't particularly care what he says/thinks. Most of the population is more concerned about living day to day than about politics (what a surprise in a poor country). He said that the image of all of Iran being anti-American soldiers willing to die for what they believe in is so ridiculously absurd. Finally, he gave an approximate end to this particular government within 20 years.

Oh and almost all places don't have toilets, so they shit in holes.
And no trashcans in the street so they just throw their trash on the road.

That's about it.
