I think reading this in 5-7 minutes would be better than listening to the news in a lifteime.Plz don't think I'm a very old person.Just 18.A university student studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.

My question is: what percentage of what I say is acceptable to you?

Hi.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.

The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don't like).Thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, maybe a nightmare for us and vise versa.That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels have a serious influence on people,the most fashionable clothes are worn by Iranians.Maybe it's a kind of immitation, but still it's got an unique style, only there are scarves that don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of their hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran, since people have got used to such acts and behaviours.You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagine and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.The Iran you know, is related to at least 40 years ago.At present, everything's so great if you don't take unemployment into account.Even at that time Iran was not a bad country either, but many things have changed so far.

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the prize in France in 2005?Iran's full of music and they're all current pop /Trance/ DJ music.The best you've ever heard.I've put some links at the bottom of the page to some Iranian music.If you like you can just right click on them and choose "save as" to download.I do recommend you to try Iranian music.

Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're treated very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the their husbands have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford. (so, they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into stadiums and that's just because IN IRAN, such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.I don't think girls would go there, even if they're allowed to do so.Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and thet we're Persian not Arab!And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making good scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated,sophisticated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions that the biggest scientists haven't ever managed to.You don't know that Iranian students and spotsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology,maths,physics,anything! Why don't your media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran

A few weeks ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and now it's signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single sign of that.What I found instead? "Prez Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" The media have gone mad.They'd put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they would never talk about facts!Some interesting facts: Iran is the pionier in medicine and gnetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The head of Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian.The best designer of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian.One of the top 5 movie directors in the world is Iranian.(you've always heard about Spiel Berg I think!).Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in building dams.The 4th highest tower (Milad tower) in the world is in Tehran (which you can visit in the following links).The strongest man (the lift-weighter) is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians.It's the only country that has all 4 seasons during the year AT THE SAME TIME.That means while it's winter in one part of it, it may be summer / spring in another part! And as you all know, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug which you all know.Persian literature again you know that is so famous.Persian culture (which is now westernised and only a little has survived!) According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world for foriegners with Dollars of course not for us! (Cos our rate is different) Who do you think is building Dubi?Arabs?No my friends, Iranian architectures, engineers and traders funding them, cos they don't think building the same things in Iran would be beneficial for them, Since the media scare tourists away from Iran.There are many other things.It's endless.

Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working, intelligent, ambitious, not realistic, not so religious, not so generous, not punctual, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.

Some people think, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)

It's now 2007 and people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!

See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.If you think I've been admiring Iran too much, that's because you'd do the same thing if you were looked down nearly everyday for some false reasons.

I thought it's better to clarify some political matters as well:

Some of the Americans I chatted with (not all of them), said here in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuck them!! Now, this is so odd, their media is good at putting comments, it's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I really don't get the point why our polititions disfame themselves by talking about the things that have got nothing to do with us.Does verbal defence of Palestians cause them to have a better lfe?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran. like picking up some specific sensitive phrases from among a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and putting so many bad comments on that.No sane person would take it serious, cos everyone should have known by now that 99.99% of what the media says turns out to be wrong and the same percent of what it predicts would happen, never happens!

First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone, if our government complains about some injustice that's now going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? We don't hate Jews, nor do we hate Americans.They're both nice people.If they're media are fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in thier shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Although ordinary Iranians don't care about world affairs, I've got to say that for us Israel is not equal with Jews! Israel is a govt, Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of the Iranians.No difference.And two of Iranians parliment members are Jews for your info.Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?That's so funny, Christians and Jews are both God believers.We've never disrespected them.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing, it means that where you come from and what you're religion is, are not important for us at all.And I wonder why some Muslim countries think there's a problem between Shittes and Sunnies, it doesn't make sense in Iran.

I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn't have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked anywhere?There's no proof of that.That's what even nuclear agency says.Only Iran's oppositions are pulling Iran's leg, otherwise what we're doing is legal.What they ask us to do is illegal and nonsense.

Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel, he was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Be concious! Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country, while most countries have nukes and are clearly threatening Iran to nuke us! Good isn't it? Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth!Still this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.If I want to tell you the whole thing, it'd make another long article! Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems who were killed by Saddam aren't important at all! 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 690000000 population, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News web-site) I know Americans don't like it either, but what can they do?

This probably isn't what you expect to hear as Iranian music, since people in the world think Iranians are traditional or something! I've also put a link for you to read the translations.Iranian music would be the most rytmic and it has the finest tune and lyrics that you've ever heard.You can read the translations here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!

I am lost for words...

Are you really 18???

I am sorry you felt compelled to write such an emotional gut-wrenching piece.

I am sorry that at 18 this is what plagues you.

I am sorry you feel the need to explain your country %26amp; culture.

I am sorry your overwhelming attempt to educate us will fall short (the majority of respondants admit reading no more than first paragraph).

I am sorry for our ignorance.

I found your writing an educational journey to Iran and learnt something about its people. I would enjoy similar essays for all countries of the world.

Thank-you for enlightening me on Iran.

Now that you have written this piece, let it go. Dont let these feeling burden you. You are too young. And its all politics remember.

I am Australian (now reside in USA) and I can attest not everyone holds the same view. As I said, its political.

Be proud of who you are and where you are from.

You dont owe an explanation.

What do you think of me?

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

I think you're very pretty. I wouldn't change a thing about you. For the formal, wear a light-colored dress that is simple and pehaps silky. Do a smokey eye. It would look amazing on you.

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

Go get an emo dress.

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

Now I'm bugged, Rosabella didn't tell you which eye to do smokey.

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

um for the makeup l dont know if its your skin tone or your complexion but it seems kind of uneven? maybe some foundation?

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

well i would go either black or red for you..i see you are already worried about what to wear in ur age. red with no! no! black eye liners just go for more of sexy appeal if u do that and red will most def. catch peoples eyes. black will be very good too, but it won't be as noticeful as red. ur black eye liner will go with black dress. if you like to dance have something not too tight around the leg region. i would choose something like this http://p.mii.instacontent.net/is.bluefly...

Billion Questions? Help Guys and Girls (pictures}?

damn your hot i wish i could take you. but i really like the dresses that r like mid thigh skirts and just a kinda normal color. you know its all good. send me an email and i can tell you more.

:) make up for semi? :)?

mysemi formal is coming up soon and i was wondering how i should do my makeup? i have long platinum blonde hair (i think im having it done in waves) blue eyes and fairly light skin. oh and my dress is dark purple with gold shimmer on it

:) make up for semi? :)?

i think you should use gold eyeshadow and maybe do smokey purple eyeliner. use a bronzer for your face and some blush with a pinkish shade of lipgloss. that would be super cute!have fun!

:]

:) make up for semi? :)?

You should definalty do a gold shimmery eyeshadow-no doubt. As for the eyeliner, try a dark brown or rich plum. That would look most amazing. =)

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

I have never been to a wedding before and I am 21. Its for old friends. I am only 5'4 and my boyfriend is the same height. So I need to take that into consideration for shoes. The wedding is the first week in May and I live in NY. It is at 2pm and the cocktail and reception isnt until 6 so I dont know how formal to be. I really dont dress up and dont know wear to shop either. I have blue eyes, light brown hair, and lightly complected. Oh and my boyfriend's suit is a dark green with a beige button shirt so I dont know if I should match or wear what I want. Any suggestions??

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Go to a department store like Macy's, Neiman Marcus, or Nordstrom and ask the sales people there. They will be able to help you out.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

wear black or other colors no white or really light colors

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Wear a pair of slacks and a nice blouse. You don't have to go all out..everyone is going to be looking at the bride not you

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

wear any nice dress, but just don't wear white or you'll take focus away from the bride.......

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

any black dress

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

baby blue dress... not too fancy.. like a church dress or something... flats or very little heel... it doesn't look right to be taller then ur hisband.. especially if u can help it.

shop at macys or just someplace that has dresses and look for a casual but nice dress.... dont wear white.. thats the bride's color.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Go to saks fifth avenue you'll find the right people to guide you

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

I would look at J. Crew

they have nice dresses that are formal, elegant and won't go out of style anytime soon.

One thing, DON'T wear white! You never want to compete with the bride.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

You dress like you would for church.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

u look great in every dress dear... so.... go ahead .. wear anythin and everyone will be lookin at u... be sure tat the bridegroom shood not go away with u after u reach there...hehehe... JUST GO... U LOOK GREAT!!

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Maybe you could wear a pant, dress or skirt suit with some feminine accents to soften it up. Spring colors, light and airy. Try the formal departments of Nordstrom's, Macy's, or bridal shops in your area. Most saleswomen in bridal shops are Very knowledgeable in what to wear, colors, styles, etc. Go For It. You and your honey will look great together!

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

For an afternoon wedding a nice dressy dress like one would wear to church would be fine. Since the reception and cocktail period is later you still could wear the same outfit.

You should be able to find some appropriate at a place like JC Penny's, Marshall Fields, etc. You might want to pick an outfit that will compliment your BF's suit, you don't have to match.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Wear a dress BUT don't dress prettier than the bride. It'll look like YOUR the bride instead of HER!!!^o*! Go to like Macy's!

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

may be ,you can wear light pink skirt to join wedding.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Keep it simple and classy. No bare shoulders or mini skirt.

No bright colors like lime green. No large prints or big old polka dots.

Find a simple dress in aqua or coral. Find a flat closed toe shoe in a bronze metallic(will still be good for fall). Wear one significant piece of jewelry. Keep your hair simple. Do not wear too much perfume.

If you want to - ask your boy friend to wear a tie in the same color as your dress - just for the fun of the connectedness.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

I would wear a dress with some sort of pattern on it so it goes with your boyfriends suit but doesn't look like you planned to match with each other. Maybe something like this dress with a little cardigan over it.

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/...

Just don't wear white! Have fun!

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Don't worry about heels because your bf isn't very tall. You want to look good, wear good shoes--heels are a must!

It would help if you said what type of shape you have, that is a very important factor in deciding what looks good.

Since the reception is early evening, I think that you can't go wrong with a basic black cocktail dress--that means it is right at or slightly above the knees.

If you have nice arms, go for a sleeveless and bring a wrap--that is where you can add some color--a nice pink pashmina or blue, to go with your eyes, but, I think that baby yellow is great for spring.

Make sure you have a nice, small bag that will hold, ID, lipstick and not much else, this is where the maxi bag is totally inappropriate.

J Crew has a nice line of dresses, but it is tricky buying on line if you don't know your dress size very well.

Go to a good department store with a friend whose style of dress you admire, have her help you, or ask a worker.

Get a good black dress that fits fabulously and is simple and elegant. Even if it is a little pricey, it will be worth it, you will wear it for a long time and the next time an event comes up, you will be prepared.

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

I would suggest a just above the knee dress, that way it is not to drab, or risky, a little more class.

For the colour it is always a good idea to find out the colours of the brides maid, and try to stay away from this colour, but you can try and complement the colours they are wearing. This way you fit in but don't look like you are a wonna be brides maid lol.

Try and find a complementary colour of your dates suite that way you both look hot together, don't to match your dress to his suit, try to find coplementry colours or match your dress to his tie or his shirt, but not to his suit.

A brown dress may look great beside his green suit, and maybe find a tie for him to match your shall, because May can still be a little cool outside specialy at night. Maybe he can wear a rose colour tie and you can get a rose shall or burgandy?

Good luck

Never been to a wedding before what to wear?!?!?

Very short skirt and nothing on the upper part

of your body. Any matching shoes are fine.

Don't you think reading an informative long question is better than aswering to lots of ordinar

I think reading this in 5-7 minutes would be better than listening to the news in a lifteime.Plz don't think I'm a very old person.Just 18.A university student studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.

My question is: what percentage of what I say is acceptable to you?

This article has three parts: 1.Cultural and general info 2.music and 3.political, so plz read it from the top to the bottom.

Hi.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.

The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don't like).Thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, they wear very fashionable clothes.Maybe it's a kind of immitation, but still it's got an unique Iranian style.You'll see lots of beauty qeens on the streets that are just like models advertising fashionable clothes! Most part of their hair is out and they put on to much make up, also wearing scarves is a part of our culture.Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmics (which is bad for our economy)! People do whatever they wish to and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran.You'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagined before and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful.Everything's so great if you don't take unemployment and air pollution into account. Many things have changed so far.I can't even compare Iran with 5 years ago, let alone comparing it with 30 years ago!!!! After all, nearly 65-70% of Iran's population is considered the new generation (The youth) and they've transformed everything.

Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! Women are overtaking Iran. They're treated very well.They're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities cos they're so clever.They get the best jobs cos they can do jobs much better than men.They've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to ask them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford, so they'll be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's just because IN IRAN, such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.I don't think girls would go there, even if they're allowed to do so.

Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and that we're Persian and some Turkish not Arab! And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions.You don't know that Iranian students and sportsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran

A few weeks ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and now it's signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single sign of that.What I found instead? "President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" The media are injustice.They'd put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they would never talk about facts! Some interesting facts:

Iran is the pionier in medicine and genetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The head of Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian.One of the best designer of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian.Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in building dams.The 4th highest tower (Milad tower) in the world is in Tehran (which you can visit in the second link).The champion weight-lifter is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians. And as you all know, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug and Persian literature, many Persian poets and scientists that are so famous.Persian culture is now westernised and only a little has survived! According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world for foriegners with Dollars of course not for us! (Cos our rate is different: one Dollar=about 950 Tomans!) Who do you think is building Dubi?Arabs?No my friends, Iranian architectures, engineers and traders funding them, cos they don't think building the same things in Iran would be beneficial for them, Since the media scare tourists away from Iran.There are many other things.And also, Iran is a very independant country.It has nearly all the developed industries and technologies and doesn't need other countries to survive! That's why the unfair U.N sanctions don't bother us! The list is endless.

Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working, intelligent, ambitious, not realistic, not so religious, not so generous, not punctual, impatient, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.

Some people think, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran.Did you know that Iranian pop music has won the prize in France in 2005? All Iranian songs are current pop /Trance/ DJ music.I send them to my American and Canadian chat friends and they all admit that it's the best music they've ever heard.They specially love the beat.

It's now 2007 and people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!

See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.If you think I've been admiring Iran too much, that's because you'd do the same thing if you were looked down nearly everyday for some false reasons.

I think it's better to clarify some political issues as well:

Some of the Americans I chatted with, said in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The media are good at putting comments.It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us.For example does verbal defence of Palestinians cause them to have a better life?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran. like picking up some specific sensitive phrases from among a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and putting so many bad comments on that.No sane person would take it serious.

First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone.If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? We hate neither Jews nor Americans.They're both nice people.If their media are fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in their shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Although ordinary Iranians don't care about world affairs, I've got to say that for us Israel is not equal to Jews! Israel is a govt.Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of Iranians.No difference.And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?That's so funny. Christians and Jews are both God believers and respectful to us.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing. It means that where you come from and what your religion is, are not important to us at all.And I wonder why some Muslem countries think there's a problem between Shiites and Sunnies. It doesn't make sense in Iran.

I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? Which logical rule admits that it's logical to say a country is guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that she's going to do something wrong?!!!! Has Iran ever attacked any countries?There's no proof on that.That's even what nuclear agency says.Only Iran's oppositions are pulling Iran's leg.What we're doing is legal.What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegal and nonsense.Iran is a peaceful country.Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could invade the countries in our neibourhood just as what Seddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relationships with all of them.It could be a good example to some countries that just follow their interests.What is interesting is that the countries which accuse Iran of different things have been, and are still accused of the same things!!! This could be a modern and innovative form of philosophy and logic!

Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel.He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they both could live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country.While some countries which have nukes are clearly threatening Iran to nuke her! Good, isn't it?

Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth! again this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all! Over 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 69000000 population within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima %26amp; Nakazaki and vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a mith.Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?

Obviousely, some countries are using Iran as a victim to put the blame (their own faults) on Iran.And which country is better than Iran to be a victim?They've made the whole world believe that Iran isn't a peaceful country and represent false image of Iranians by making insulting movies like "300" .

I know Americans don't like these either, but what can they do?They can't control what the media says.I hope someday the media would end all this instead of playing a negative role in the world.

This part is just for Americans who would still argue over unimportant things: Those of you who say why Iran says "Death to America": 1.America means the U.S govt not the people 2.The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfreids/boyfriends! Strange.Isn't it? 3.Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake.right?) 5.The U.S govt helped Seddam to attack Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed lots of Iranians 6.America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Gulf and killed 200 passengers for no reason 7.It's always botherng Iran by sanctions, displaying false image of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away from Iran and is always harmful to our economy, development and credit 8.It's always despised the Iranians who travel to the U.S at their arrival (even ordinary ones, university students, sportsmen, scientists etc)

To those who are upset with American hostages taken for 444 days: 1.It's related to so many years ago and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be cheos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy.Aren't they? 2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and keeps denying that they're diplomats.Now you decide who has the right to be upset with whom.It's exceeded the level of tit for tat.

It's better for both countries to forget about the past conflicts and to have peaceful relations.The two govts are like 10 year old children jumping at each other verbally, but we as the people of these countries MUST NOT have any conflics.You know something?All govts are hateful.I just said the above things because it sounds unfair when some Americans talk about 444 hostage taking and I keep being silent.So sorry for that.I hope you agree on this one! Now, what do you think?I can't wait to see both nations in peace.It'd be marvelous!

Thanks.

Don't you think reading an informative long question is better than aswering to lots of ordinary questions?

A society that believes in God without question or evidence will likewise believe in any crap its political leaders who are in pursuit of their own personal agenda profess as the truth. It is quite obvious that American Republicans want capitalism in Iran so that American companies can gain wealth; and it is quite obvious that Christians want Christianity to dominate the world. And guess what - America is currently run by Christian Republicans, which means their main objective in life is to eliminate all opposing religions and to institute capitalism across the universe. What currently stands in their way? Non-conforming Eastern societies. "Democracy" is NOT the right of the Iranian people to reject capitalism, but rather the right of American Christian corporations to invade Iran.

dude i would NEVER read anything that long, if i wanted to read a book i have a few excelent one's right here. not even a small portion of what you wrote would be acceptable to me.

did not read your question just the headline

Don't you think reading an informative long question is better than aswering to lots of ordinary questions?

You are just like the energizer bunny you keep going and going and going. You didn't get any answers last time because your question was so long and boring. Now you rephrase it and ask the same thing again. If you really think that you are speaking for the general populace of your country you are wrong. Our govt is of the people. So if you are saying death to the American govt. you are saying death to the American people. Here's your answer to what % of what you say is acceptable to me. 0% and that's the percent that is believable to me also.

Can somebody suggest me some good head-gear to hide my receding hairline.?

Im 25 %26amp; losing my hair fast. Please suggest me a head-gear to conceal my baldness. Im a software professional and cant wear a cap over a formal outfit. Or please suggest any other better way to handle this.

Can somebody suggest me some good head-gear to hide my receding hairline.?

Just shave the rest off then it will not notice.

Can somebody suggest me some good head-gear to hide my receding hairline.?

buy a set of male hair clppers and trim it short, a no 1 is good. other than that use a marker pen to colour it in.

Can somebody suggest me some good head-gear to hide my receding hairline.?

Men really cannot wear head-gear other than hats, first of all. If you must wear it with a formal outfit, the only thing that comes close is a nice, 1940s style Fedora. That's the only thing you could reasonable pull off with a suit, or formal clothes. Unless you're a cowboy and want to wear a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and a bolero tie.

Can somebody suggest me some good head-gear to hide my receding hairline.?

Depends how bad it is but personally I am receeding, 23 nearly 24 and used revivogen for a year now. I have noticed an improvement in the quality of the hair in the receeding area and it has not got any worse as of yet. Do a search on google pal! Its worth a try and if not, dont be arsed, just shave it off. Grass doesnt grow on a busy street

good luck

How should I do my makeup?

Okay so I've been experimenting with makeup for a little while but when I do it, it doesn't look the best. I have short, ashy brown hair with bangs. My skin is pretty light, almost pale and I have dark brown eyes. I am wondering how to do my makeup. In detail, if you could, what kind of makeup should I wear. What is kind for fun, what kind for formal, what kind for casual/quick. I'm sort of at a lost here...

How should I do my makeup?

FUN= a light but colorful eye shadow, some dark brown natural mascara, and a light blush to add some color. also a cute lipstick or lip gloss in a bright color!

FORMAL= dark brown eyeliner applied in a thin line with some black mascara, red lip gloss, and sparkly bronzer. also a natural tan or light pink eyeshadow would be cute!

QUICK= mascara, blush, lip gloss!

hope i helped, and i recommend clinique or neutrogena products!

How should I do my makeup?

Try a little bit of eyeliner and mascara if you have shorter lashes than normal.

Deep colors are good fr eyeshadow,

like blues and purple

but it can end up looking dark and scary to some,

so for a more playful look, go for pastle blues or greens.

If you try golds or browns or wine colors, go a little lighter than usually.

:33 Ari.

How should I do my makeup?

There is lots you can do. I'd go to MAC and have them give you a makeover. They'll answer any questions you may have and they'll give you whats best for your face. I think all you have to do is spend 50.00 on their cosmetics.

How about liquid liner, thin line in black, on the upper lash like, brown shadow, black mascara and eyeliner on the inner eye? I think that'd be great on you :) but like I said, if you want to find your best look try going to mac.

How should I do my makeup?

for fun; just a green or blue eye shadow with a little eye liner foundation that suits skin colour, with a little hint of blusher should give you a little more colour on cheeks

casual;the same but use a little liquid on upper eye lid or you sould not wear any foundation

formal;liquid,eyeliner,lighter shad of eye shadow and again foundation with blusher
