It's nice to have free speech

For example, Iran just banned mullets.

I wanted to post this in the "love USA" thread but I assume it's been deleted.

Seems to me the more crap like this that they pull the quicker they are going to get run out. The old line is going to die off eventually. Progress is a hard thing to hold off. Communication is instant and at some point the young folks in Iran are going to say enough is enough.

I'm in favor of free speech everywhere, but I might actually support a ban on mullets.

Seriously, this type of nonsense seems desperate. People will only put up with totalitarian governments for so long.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Those Mullahs have good taste.

THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

The loss of one freedom, no matter how insignificant, is the loss of all freedoms. Let's say the government here banned the mullet, and people just kind of laughed at it, and went along because seriously the mullet is a joke. But now the government sees that people will swallow stupid laws like that, and it's a pretty quick downhill slope to requiring written permission (in triplicate) to take a dump.
Even if you think a freedom is as insignificant as having your choice of hair style, you need to be willing to defend it.

^^^ Exactly!
Oh and the people are fed up - the uprising over the election is STILL going on - it is just not being reported in the MSM...

it is a matter of time before somebody ships the students some AK's and the fun really starts

Seriously, I do think that Iran is within a decade of having some serious internal problems... Again.

This is way to long more like a couple of years.
