CITIZEN_2015

Listen you discredit yourself in public when you make statements like this. In fact I say you disgrace yourself. People read my posts too and I have clearly said as long as they do not impose their way of living on others and it is a personal choice I have no issues since they have the right to choose the way they wish to live for themselves but when you lie and accuse me of respecting the people who use their freedom to oppress OTHERS (something that I have opposed post after post) then you badly discredit yourself. It shows also weakness on your part to put false words in my mouth. Really!!!!!!!!

Listen you are preaching to someone who has fought for women's rights all his life especially the rights to wear what they wish. But it goes BOTH WAYS. If I fight for women in Iran to wear make ups and mini skirts as they used to do when a socially democratic government was in power then I also have to fight for women's rights in say Saudi Arabia if that woman chooses to wear the hijab when she comes to Canada as painful as it may be.

You have no respect for people's choice then you have no respect for people. Only what you say is right and everyone else must respect YOUR choice or else. Reminds me of other dictators running a middle eastern country. You are all the same in opposite directions. Your way or highway or jail.

Their ideologies become repressive ONLY if they try to impose them on others but it is NOT repressive if they choose them for themselves.

I have responded in the other post. RESPECT THE CHOICE people make for themselves. YOU are NOT superior to anyone to decide for others what is good or bad for them WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE??

No you stop there. I said hijab is a symbol of repression of women because in some countries the repressive regimes imposes those who do not wish to wear it then to wear it but it is not a symbol of repression if a woman chooses to wear it out of her personal beliefs. If there is a religious group requiring men to wear a collar and then a man who strongly believe in his religion wear the collar out of his own choice I have no problem with that. You and other gentleman must learn to RESPECT THE CHOICE. YOU are NOT superior to anyone to decide for others what is good or bad for them WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE??

Yes it is really. It is ALWAYS a woman's choice. You tell me this!!!!!!! Yes of course hijab is a symbol of repression of women. In Iran is particular which enjoys highly educated and advanced population more so the female population and a backward repressive regime is forcing them to wear hijab and many women are fighting back hard in various ways against this extreme stupid repression. Forcing anyone for any reason wrong. Who are you to decide what should be forced on another human being? If you say forcing a woman against her choice is not bad then you are as bad as the ayatollah in opposite direction.

I have so much of respect for a woman's choice that I am ready to tolerate that as ridiculous and out of place as they may look. My tolerance ends when they want to change our way of life or try to force their way on other muslim women. This is a free country. They are free to live the way they wish but if they try to impose their way on others then I say to them get the hell out of here and go back to hell house they come from.

No I clicked too early. It was meant to agree with the second part of quoted statement but by mistake I also quoted the first part which I wasn't fully in agreement so I edited what I quoted.

It is always a woman's choice. Forcing women to be hijabless is as bad as forcing them to wear hijab. We don't go as low as some dictatorial regimes who force hijab. I agree with the second part though.

Interesting article entitled "Change coming to Iran" https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/07/change_is_coming_to_iran.html The current situation in Iran is indeed dire. Resentment of the Islamic regime aside, political, economic, and social grievances have driven Iranians into the streets. The protests are the largest in the country since 2009. Protesters' chants and attacks on government buildings upended a system that had little tolerance for dissent, with some demonstrators even shouting "Death to the Khamenei!" – referring to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – and asking security forces to join them. The protesters have been chanting for the return of Prince Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the former shah of Iran, Muhamad Reza Pahlavi. This is particularly significant. For now, there is no unifying force among the anti-government protesters. The time for a change has arrived. The majority of the Iranian people refuse to be fooled and intimidated any longer. They refuse to obey orders from the beasts of Allah currently ruling Iran. Iranians have recognized the fundamental weaknesses of their oppressors. With a little help here and little help there, they can be transformed overnight from seemingly subdued and helpless sheep into mighty lions. It is time for the Iranians to strike, gather forces, organize, and especially demonstrate in the streets in increasing numbers, even in the face of massive, gruesome, bloody repression by the Islamic rulers who still have a powerful armed apparatus at their disposal. It is time to unleash the wrath of the Iranian people on the Islamic zealots. It is time to become even more defiant and end the barbaric theocratic regime by massive participation in a freedom revolution.

The ball missed the French player and hit his hand accidently. He did not move his hand to hit the ball. The replays clearly show that it was an accidental hit not an intentional handball to change the path of the ball. It was a kick by his foot that changed the path of the ball Regardless it appears French are winning but a wrong call resulting in a goal always destroys the moral of the victim in this case the Croatioans. It is sad.

It is a stupid call on penalty. That was not a penalty as the Croatian player did not hand ball deliberately and he was in a natural position accidently hitting the ball, In fact the ball missed the Franch player and hit his hand not other way round. Shocking decision and shocking that they assign such an weak referee for such an important match, the world cup final. I hope Croatia cab score back and win the game,because this would be the only fair result with an unfair referee. I will support Croatia in second half.

They stole from the whole world for a century taking their oil and resources not just my lunch money. Even America was a Brirish colony .....................

England 0 Belgium 2 England defeated again but they become number 4. They didn't deserve to be even among the top 8 if it wasn't for pure luck playing against weak teams.

I think that it all depends on the country and the degree of social advancement (or lack of social advancement). Fortunately in Iran which is an advanced country with highly educated population most women do not choose to wear hijab if they had a choice and the public has a high degree of acceptance towards hijabless women. The 50 years of progressive socially democratic advance Pahlavi dymasty is credited for this high level of tolerance and social advancement when a totally westernised society was born and the mullah tried and miserably failed to turn back the clock. The same is true for a few other socially advanced yet still Muslim countries like Morocco and Tunasia and lebanon where women have more rights and hijabless women are socially acceptable. On the other end there are some backward Muslim countries still living centuries behind and there hasn't been the environment for education and advancement of women and there is little or no tolerance for hijabless women like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen and Kuwait. And there some countries in between like Egypt and Jordan and Syria and Pakistan (in large cities). I hope that one day soon all Muslim countries catch up with time and realize the meaning of choice and understand the importance of equality and freedom for women.

I agree regime thugs is a better word than mercenaries for those who are paid to attack women and stab thirsty hungry demonstrators and those who are seeking freedom and democracy. However, the word mercenaries also applies to those who are paid (if unpaid then they are brainwashed as kactus said) to put fear in nation's hearts that the stability and integrity of Iran is tied with the stability of this brutal regime who over 40 years has completely destroyed the country and has resorted to extreme repression and mass muder and execution in order to remain in power (as an example Sadegh Zibakalam with big LIES who claims this on public debates that if the regime falls Iran will become Iraq or Syria). Or claiming that the nation's uprising against this extreme murderous dictatorship is because of the US paying the people to revolve and they have no reason or grievances. In both cases they are paid (mercenaries) or unpaid (brainwashed) people who help the regime to remain longer and continue the path of desctruction and hopelessness and extreme repression. This is UNFORGIVABLE. Iran has been through many regime falls and wars and NEVER disintegrated. Examples of which (Historic Facts) are the constitutional revolution, the fall of Reza Shah the great and its occupation by allied forces, the fall of Mohammad Reza Shah and its replacement by this Plagued Republic and the Iraqi invasion and in ALL these events Iran never disintegrated and iran's borders did not changed an inch because Iranians of all races and religions shared a 25 century of history and traditions and fought alongside each other against common enemies. Even when Arab Iraqis invaded the Arab majority province Of Khuzestan it was mostly the Arab Iranians who armed themselves and fought back against Arab invaders. So why the hell is that this time with the fall of this Plagued republic who itself is responsible for disconttents among the minorities of all kind Iran will disintegrate?? It goes against all historic facts that Iran always remains united and one country in spite of all past revolutions and military occupations and a revolution or a US military invasion and occupation will not cause disintegration of Iran either this time round as it goes against all facts and historic events of the past. Except what the regime is paying its mercenaries to say publically to scare the nation away from mass uprising which is underway as we speak. Death to regime thugs and regime mercenaries.

Iran Protests: Women are at the forefront of all the protests. Long live lion hearted brave Iranian women. The islamic revolution was carried out by fools, idiots and criminals but the true Iranian revolution is being carried out by brave women of Iran. https://twitter.com/search?q=%23IRANPROTESTS&lang=en Nazanin Esfandiati was arrested by regime thugs yesterday. She took video of the protests in the town of Borazjan. Free Nazanin Esfandiari. Maryam Faraji a civil activist has disappeared leaving her home. Sepideh Farhan a child rights actvist was sentenced to 6 years in jail for demonstrations last January. Nasrin Sotoudeh a human rights lawyer was arrested again for defending human rights and sentenced to 5 years in jail by islamic injustice department. When a brave nation rises up nothing can stop the revolution. Long live the Aryan nation and death to Arab mercenaries.

Or more likely paid female mercenaries who are paid to carry out the repressive measures by the evil regime against their own gender, which can only survive longer by extreme repressive measures, terror and intimidations. Most of the (male) basijis or revolutionary guards are not brainwashed either but paid mercenaries too.

When it comes to violence Iran regime (islamic Republic) don't discriminate based on Gender!!!!!! http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/07/12/graphic-photo-iran-slammed-for-shocking-flogging-man-convicted-for-drinking-alcohol-as-teen.html Only when it comes to rights and equality. So sad that a nation who brought in the very first Charter of Human riights 2500 years ago and whose culture was based on Zoroastrian belief of good deeds, good thoughts and good words must be now under occupation by the worst violators of human rights in the world.

Great to see England losing. S far they were so damn lucky. Playing against weak teams and winning narrowly on penalty kicks but eventually they ran out of luck.

Yes when the nation they are repressing is so boldly and couragously mocking the idiot ruling cleric on social media so publically in spite of all threats and extreme measures to repress they are utilizing then yes they must be losing control and I hope that they will be soon losing their heads too separated from their dirty necks. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/10/627840241/online-protests-erupt-in-iran-after-arrest-of-teenager-for-social-media-posts Iranians are protesting and mocking clerical rulers on social media after the arrest of a teenage girl for posting videos of herself dancing on Instagram. Iranian authorities may have intended her arrest as a warning to the public, but it has also inspired an outpouring of support from Iranians, many of whom use the hashtag, #dancingisnotacrime. Women posted videos of themselves dancing, or wrote messages in support of Hojabri.The Times reported on the thousands of online protests: criticism was sharp and bold. 'In this land corruption, rape or being a big thief, animal or child abuser, not having any dignity, is not a crime,' Roya Mirelmi, an actress, wrote under a picture she posted of Ms. Hojabri that got 14,133 likes. 'But in my motherland, having a beautiful smile, being happy and feeling good is not only a crime but a cardinal sin.'"

Is that how you debating issues by personal attacks? lefty extremist. Long live America and Down with the leftist commies.

University of Waterloo is the best school in Computer Science but the OP was asking climatewise and costwise. Quebec appears to have the least tutition fees however, climatewise maybe BC is the warmest place to be.
