Yep. And as always taking an interest in the politcs of Iran is pointless because they are nof no importance to us.
Your point being? Maybe if the regime was gonna be overthrown sometime soon I could see your point. Right now, this is just a little squabble.

A little squabble where a fucking child got killed because the fucking government has no toleration for free speech.
How does a child dying make this any bigger? It's a government repressing opposition which is a very common occurance throughout most of history. Whatever demographic is hurt or killed is irrelevant. It's the numbers and most of all, organization.

@The Man and Munitek: A group of people, even the majority of them, being against the government doesn't make it magically collapse. These are just protesters as far as I was aware. If they iintend to actually force a revolution they'll need to organize more.
Get as many dissidents across the country as they can, ensure international support and see what they can do in the way of arms.
Are you intentionally being apeshit here or something?
It doesn't matter how many die or not, it's fucking wrong and saying something so fucking disgusting shows a deliberate lack of concern for your fellow man and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
The only reason I can even think of someone saying something so asinine is because they've lived a sheltered life free from all of the horror of the world and enjoy the freedom that such a life affords them, so they just don't give a shit
You sit in your fucking air conditioning with your nice computer and go on about how it'd pointless to care about a region of the world where people don't get the smallest rights you consider a given, and die every day on bullshit platitudes. God forbid you give a fuck.
I'm being apathetic, not apeshit. I don't want children to die but it happens. Whether it's natural causes or a serial killer or a brutal government, people will die. Getting upset won't change that and it might make it worse.
Clearly you don't care.I see. I'm sure you were raised in a totalitarian 3rd world country then?
I care. I just don't see how a child dying somehow makes things more horrible.
A fact? Bullshit. A child dying because of a government's inability to tolerate an assembly of people who in fact started this shit peaceably, DOES MAKE IT WORSE.And you sit there in, where was it, Texas? And you spew self-righteous crap about me not boo-hooing over some kid I don't know dying. I'm speaking logically and you're blinded by your arrogant morality. I said a child dying doesn't make things that much worse and that's a fact. It has nothing to do with me caring or not caring.
How the hell will getting upset make matters worse? Unless you're an utter bellicose idiot like John McCain who wants to throw the West's support so far behind the reformers to make the general populace of Iran see the reformers as puppets of the West, a little bit of outrage is a justifiable response that will probably even encourage people to get off their asses and change things for the better.I'm being apathetic, not apeshit.

A person doesn't need to have lived under a dictatorship to understand oppression, but you aren't demonstrating even the remotest trace of empathy. I'd expect a response like that from a goddamn sociopath.I see. I'm sure you were raised in a totalitarian 3rd world country then?
You certainly aren't acting like it.I care.
Are you fucking serious?I just don't see how a child dying somehow makes things more horrible.
BAWWWWW, how dare people give a shit and try to make the world a better place. If you seriously believe the crap you're spewing here, you're a disgusting human being.And you sit there in, where was it, Texas? And you spew self-righteous crap about me not boo-hooing over some kid I don't know dying. I'm speaking logically and you're blinded by your arrogant morality.
Are you fucking shitting me? Again. Attitudes like youre are the only reason the Holocaust happened. Because good people sat by and did nothing. "Oh well, shit happens to innocent people, it's not my fault." That is what Hannah Arendt described as "the banality of evil".I said a child dying doesn't make things that much worse and that's a fact.
Wow. You think gunning down children is appropriately rationalized because it's "a government repressing opposition"? If you were a cold-blooded mercenary like the ones they're importing over there to assist the basij, they would fucking love you.
That's exactly what the reformists are trying to do. Again, I invite you to go back and educate yourself before injecting your barbarically ignorant dialogue into a conversation between adults.
A fucking innocent child died, how the fuck is that not significant? Little things matter. And an innocent child dying because a tyrannical government is too frightened of free speech to tolerate it is not a little thing in any way, shape or form to begin with.No. It's just being shown that it's not that significant an event.
Children have more life experience than anyone else ahead of them so I absolutely do not understand why a child's death is not worth more getting upset over than the death of some old man. Regardless, all human life is sacred, and the fact that an innocent person was killed for expressing an opinion is absolutely worth getting outraged over.My intial point here was that unless Iran is experiencing an organized revolution, they're not that important. And Dacon came out saying a child died. That's not a valid counter-point. That's a blatant moral argument where you place a child's life above others and I don't much care for it.
She's not "getting hysterical over someone disagreeing with her," she's getting hysterical over a person responding to real-world oppression by spewing amoralistic bullshit that sounds like a speech from a goddamn comic book villain.And how is getting hysterical over someone disagreeing with you adult? It's very chi,ldish to me.

The kid has become a fuckin martyr for these people's cause and brought about outrage in the people, how is that not fucking important?

How many innocent people have died in this country's short life? And yet we're still here. This is what you don't seem to understand. A person dying won't change everything.
Bullshit, all deaths are fucked up, it doesn't matter if they're a soldier or not.So he's a symbol? That's different. A person dying is like a soldier dying in a war...it really is irrelevant to the overall scheme. But if he's transformed into a rallying point, that's very different.
Amazing how human beings both glorify and demonize death to cause more death.
Clearly because we think all other deaths are acceptable.Better that then getting killed over absolutely nothing. That happens quite a bit. Why aren't you outraged over that?
That's fucking retarded.I don't place any person's life above anyone else's so a child or an old man, it doesn't matter.
You don't have any fucking morals and you're projecting that bullshit onto other people, saying that there's no point in them caring, and that I have a problem with.I've already said this. Morals are subjective. I have different ones than you or Dacon. Dacon seems unable to handle this.
