During the 2008 Greek riots, a 15-year-old was also shot dead...

...how easily you forget.

So, does the Greek incident strike you as democratic or do any of thse incidents?

Greece’s Human Rights Portfolio…

Had Greece had snipers on the rooftops looking out for targets and banned all the worlds media from watching then we could have had a debate on this. Fortunately they didn't, cause they wouldn't so we won't.

There was no need for a sniper as he was executed from just a few meters away! :roll:

But anyway, you’re now scrambling to save Greece’s face…(what compels you to do that???) and I wish you luck because you’ll need it! :lol:

Let’s face it DT, you’re unable to handle international events with impartiality.

End of story.


I tried to ignore the fact that you introduced Greece into a conversation about Iran and then ask me what compels me to jump to their defense!!(which I wasn't but must admit I'm getting a little frustrated when everything we start debating ends up into a Greece slamming session.) Not that I have a problem with Greece being slammed, just that this is a thread about Iran and here we are talking about Greece again.

I'm gonna have to open up a thread about "carpentry in early 16th century Bavaria" and watch how we direct that one towards Greece as well. :lol:

Once again, Iran who is ran by clerics and its assembly of experts can appoint the top job of Supreme Leader is not a democracy.

Where did you see the democracy in Iran? And feel free to compare to Greece if you like :roll:

GR! you know very well that boy was unfortunately hit by a one-off stray bullet ricocheting off the pavement. The Basij Militia in Iran are deliberately killing protesters ... many!

Your thread was flawed from the start as it was based on the assumptions that…

1. The election was rigged.
2. The demonstrators are demonstrating for “democracy”.
3. The second placed candidate was proposing democracy!
4. The demonstrators are of any significant number out of Iran’s 70m population!

..and you were totally ignorant of American and Israeli propaganda which obviously did a perfect job to your inexperienced mind.

A total flop of a thread! :roll:

Screw the elections and it seems you're not up to speed with current affairs these days. Switch that channel off from the history channel and watch the news a little. There's a huge wave of demo's going on in Iran that are more than demo's in favour of one candidate. They're snowballing into calls for a democratic govt.

Now, unless you're gonna sit there and tell me these people do not deserve a democratic govt while you shout about it for Cyprus I suggest you move onto another Greece bashing thread with your "experienced" mind.

A dude called the Supreme Leader rules their country and you're telling me about American propaganda?

we have a friend who is iranian . he is at home now in tehran, with his family.
he always said that the young people were waiting for a revolution and that they would rise up and fight.
they are fed up with not having the same benefits as us in the west.
we have been very worried about him, but feel if we phone it may cause him problems ,because of all the diplomatic stuff going on right now.
the last thing he needs is his brit mates calling! if he needs help he knows to call us.
good luck to them, they are going to need all the luck they can get.
