So erm... western style haircuts are now illegal in Iran. Seriously.

 

 

 

Can you imagine if Tony Blair or Bush came up with, "Right that's it, no more blondes!"... hmm, wonder what'd happen then.

 

 

 

This has gotta be the clearest breach of human rights i've seen in some time, and all in the name of religion.

 

 

 

Comments please lol...

This has more to do with politics than religion. They're trying to be as anti-west as they possibly can.

Haha, and Dubai is trying to be as Western as they can.

 

 

 

However Dubai's got it right, they know how to make money, and that is to accept Western Civilization.

this is why we.. as proper human beings.. have the right to put all these backwards weird little countries in their place. If they cant accept that their way of doing things is just plain wrong then there is no helping them.

 

 

 

Seriously.. im fine with other religions but this is just taking the piss.

Didn't they also ban ties? Or did I hear that wrong?

Yeah, they've banned "Western style clothing", and you're probably right that it includes ties

So Iran is going to try to nuke the US or are they gonna just try to nuke the US?

 

 

 

Anyways it seems obvious that their president is a lying POS and their nuclear program ISN'T for energy but rather for weapons against Western culture. Hmm...

 

 

 

Anyways sucks to be an Iranian.

It'll be years before they have nukes. Their uranium enrichment program is good enough to perhaps fuel a nuclear reactor, but you only need 3% purity of the lighter uranium isotope for that. You need 90% purity for an actual nuke... so we've nothing to worry about buddy :) Let's just hope they get their house in order before they eventually do figure it out.

:shock: Iran FTL

 

 

 

 

 

This is absolutely stupid like you said......It is an utter breach of human rights...lol not allowing you to have a haircut the way you want it

 

 

 

Absolutely stupid ..what is this gonna prove.....that if you have a western haircut your going to act like a person in the western world.

 

 

 

 

 

Also btw watch out for President Putin..I feel were heading for trouble with him..Hes Becoming to confrantational

probably going to end up including anything that isnt a single black peice of cloth.. for women anyway..

I suppose on the bright side, it will mean less people have a ridiculous mullet style haircut ;) ;) ;)

This is ridiculous If we in Britain ban all Iranian women from wearing their traditional clothing i.e. head gear etc.. then weÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d get terrorist bombers everywhere and hell a lot of protests.

 

Next thing you know they will make it a law to live in a cave.

They should ban breathing... as people in the West breathe.

I dont see how this is gona work. In the "west", every single style of hair is common, or atleast existant. We have all types of hair... from shoulder length to bald to buzzed to.. anything. Turbans are so prevalent in the west now you could even go as far as to call them western (with eastern origins, obviously). So i dont really understand how this is going to work if we have every hairstyle in the west... Even no hair could be considered western.

Sounds like one big naked party in Iran \

They're all so paranoid. What's thier motivation or what the hell are they trying to achieve. Proud to be seperate from us infidels, ey? If you ask me they're holding up unity on this planet. My country allows them to immigrate here and assimilate with our way of life and still we get racial tensions. What more can we do? We open the door and say come in, be our mates and they still (in many cases) are afraid of assimilating. We need more ducation for them, in this country, at least.

That's really stupid. Who in their right mind would do this. If I lived I would change of country, run away during the night, make a revolt, something :o

 

 

 

Btw, about assimilation, you really cannot blame them. USA is the planet's meltpot, all cultures disapear in it, and replaced with the, excuse me, distateful american culture. I used to think the stereotypes about the american culture were exagerated, until I found out they were true. It's truly pathetic, I am ashamed for all americans who think highly of their own culture, they truly have seen nothing.

I wonder if they have succeeded Saudi Arabia in terms of horrible human rights. :-k

This threads not about the usa so take your antius [cabbage] somewhere else.

Highlanders=Anti-American, and thus, stupid. :P

 

 

 

Oh, Iran, what will you do next?

It sounds stupid but I'm not exactly surprised.

Highlanders=Anti-American, and thus, stupid. :P

 

 

What a [not] surprising statement coming from an american.

 

 

 

I never had anything against the USA, I even wanted to live there as a kid, until I saw what the USA really was. My beliefs are based on proofs, not on blind judgements. Unlike a lot of ppl, I am not biaised. That statement was really, honestly, stupid. Your not even trying to make any argument with it, heh.

It doesn't take Mystic Meg to see that this is going to go way off topic...

 

 

 

 

 

Please continue your little debate via PM's people.

The American culture is always changing. It most likely will not be the same 50 years from now. As immigrants move in and our population soars, our culture changes. That's unlike a lot of other countries.

 

 

 

And as for the 'distaste', you don't have to go by it. If all other countries mingle together and their cultures influence each other, what do you think the outcome will be? All cultures will 'melt' into one culture, with the majority having the greatest influence.

 

 

 

America has 300,000,000+ citizens and it's constantly growing. How can you NOT expect this to happen?

Oh and didn't Iran complain over The Three Hundred making them look bad? Oh and aren't they holding some Britains as 'house guests?'
