    On 11 May 2018, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme leader of Iran, posted a picture of himself reading a Persian translation of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury — a famously damaging account of the first year of the Trump presidency:

    I understand the OT section is the area where every thread is about how much everybody hates Trump and that's cool and annoying at the same time and all but to this blindly hate while kind of promoting this guy for his trolling is rather ridiculous. Let me show you why

    https://www.outrightinternational.o...o-worst-form-moral-degeneration-homosexuality


    Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, today warned Iran's high-ranking clerics against the "flooding of ravaging moral decay" by the West, specifically the legalization of homosexuality.

    Today's comments by the 76-year-old Iranian leader were made during his 40-minute meeting with the 88 members of the newly-elected Assembly of Experts, a council of clerics that is responsibe for choosing the country's Supreme Leader's successor.

    Ayatollah Khamenei had a captive audience in the room with him: Iran's former president Hashemi Rafsanjani, current president Hassan Roouhani, and the head of Iran's Judiciary Ayatollah Amoli (all three are also members of the powerful council).

    Ayatollah Khamenei claimed that "there is no worst form of moral degeneration than [homosexuality]." He warned them that the West's sexual freedoms will not stop at legalization of homosexuality and will one day lead to legalized "incest and even worse."

    Ayatollah Ali Khamenie, the highest ranking religious and political authority in Iran, also criticized the West for not allowing the opponents of homosexuality to freely speak up their minds.

    http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/tzvi-kahn-irans-ideological-war-on-homosexuality/


    Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has described the West’s legalization of gay marriage and refusal to criminalize homosexual acts as the results of the broader licentiousness that supposedly pervades its culture. Iran, he said in a speech last year, faces a “destructive flood of moral decadence which has originated from the West and which is overflowing into the whole world. Today, you are witnessing the characteristics of this moral decadence.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...death-2/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.699709d0fd05

    Iran: In accordance with sharia law, homosexual intercourse between men can be punished by death, and men can be flogged for lesser acts such as kissing. Women may be flogged.




    So while we can both agree that Trump is an idiot, I would say this guy is and has been a worse impact on the world. But hey as long as he trolls trump, hes great right?

    Yes, every thread. Even the threads that aren't about Trump secretly are.

    Do you ever start a thread about something you like? Enjoy? Or just complain in the threads you don't like?

    I just did the other day. You know the Childish Gambino video. I didn’t complain in this, I just pointed out the hypocrisy within it.

    Sorry I don’t enjoy posting about trump 24/7. I actively stay out of those threads. I don’t get the fun. Very rarely does a thread about something else come up. If I see some stuff not related to politics that’s interesting or would make good conversation, I will start posting, how about that.

    Like either animal is safe there. Wasn't the 60s when Iran was more open and free? Bet the animals long for those days.

    Britain is so repressive, it's clear they've not evolved in any way since getting their ass kicked out of America.

    Sheep is actually a New Zealand joke not Australian, even the Aussies make fun of them for how many there are there. New Zealanders are kind of sensitive about their culture being mixed in with Aussies..... ie nobody touches their sheep.

    I have family in NZ....never heard that joke from them but my drummer for a couple years was from Melbourne and he told me the joke....so in a sense...it's Australian to me. He used England as the butt of the joke though
