They should all get out of Iran asap.

[Scape]

Freedom isn't free. Time for a general strike.

Iran is quickly resembling 1930's Germany.

Nazis everywhere, they just use religion instead of facism.

[GreenTiger]

If I were them I'd get out of that country fast before they really start to take revenge.

[Scape]

Or they could fight back and take what is theirs.

Note to all, Reason number one the right to bear arms should not be infringed upon!!!!!

Imagine these protesters were armed!!! Iran would have a new goverment right now.

[PJB]

I wonder how much news out of Iran doesn't get out.

[Scape]

Curious, is the right for a person to bear arms on par with a state desire to bear nuclear arms?

[Lemmy]

No, because the American right to bear arms doesn't apply to children.

[Scape]

Elaborate...

[Lemmy]

Well, I'm loathe to do so because my comment was largely flippant and I disagree with the right to bear arms. But, the USA is, comparatively, an 'adult' on the world stage, as are France and Britain. Iran and North Korea are children. If and when they grow up, I'd support their right to bear whatever technology they feel necessary for defence. Not right now, though, just like 15 year-olds can't buy guns, even in Texas.

The ability of the whole armed population to harm their neighbors or other countries is very remote. Looking at what these mad mullas are doing now, who could say what they'd do with nukes.

I though the soccer team were abroad when they did that. Now I bet they wish they were.
