There are no clubs or bars in Iran (that is common knowledge to most of the world) but really nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to a house party in Teheran.

Every repressed attraction to the opposite sex, every urge to have a beer with your lunch, every desire to have a "happy hour" after a long day's work, every desire to give your partner a kiss at a restaurant forms into a tidal wave of absolute debauchery consisting of heavy drug use, massive alcohol consumption and, unfortunately, not-so-safe sex. With unemployment so high, inflation that doesn't cease, and a generation of youth that have lost ALL hope in their national government, the best thing you can do, for the time being, is pour yourself some illegally imported Russian vodka, light up a cigarette, and watch the world, as you know it, go to hell.

Funny, I never saw Iranians as the ultra party type, and I've known a few.

Ok. Here we go again.

May I ask what is your point? I mean, and I've been there -- Iranians have some great parties and do a lot of naughty things. No surprise, they are human. So am I. I enjoyed a lot of good drinks (especially home made wine) in Tehran and the company of a woman. What's your point? Every society has these contradictions, their rebellious youth and their fanatics. So what is the point? It is nothing special except for those who don't have their human head screwed on properly. What is your point?


So what is your point other than just trying to vilify?

DD, you have to stop calling people names and slinging so much mud. For Christ sakes, the article Junior posted was actually PRO MOTHERFUC$ING IRANIAN.

Where is the vilification in that post? The only vilification I ever see is from you! Time and time again you demonstrate your inability to critically think about what you read, and to place it in the proper context. You need to stop.

Go away dude. You contribute absolutely nothing at all.

I will. First, we know Junior's agenda. Second, read the language he uses in his post. Third, the blog is a "junior' rated link. Fourth, the blogger titles the article, "The Persian ABYSS".

Please read and if necessary use a dictionary. Just another smear tactic against Iranians, wholesale from the other side.

abyss ( ) n. An immeasurably deep chasm, depth, or void. Sometimes meaning without substance, hope and evoking despair.

So? Hey young Iranians like to party like most people. Only a flamin' pie eater would ( or could ) refer to them as being "naughty". The problem is that in Iran if they are caught having fun, they go to prison. In the States and other places in the west, they merely wake up with a hangover.

1) His agenda, eh? This is exactly why I say you don't have well developed skills of critical reasoning which help you put words in context. This article is about how a totalitarian system is failing to control the masses.
2) The language he uses? His whole post is taken word for word from the Jerusalem Post. He didn't use his own language. Now, if you had actually read both the article and the post, you would know this.
3) I think your third point and your fourth are the same. In effect, an ad homonym. How totally unlike you!
4) The title is talking about the gulf (abyss) between the younger people of Iran and the messed up government.
