What do those of you who believe that the media are injustice, think of this?

David asked:

I think reading this in 5-10 minutes would be better than listening to the news for a lifteime.Plz don’t think I’m a very old person.Just 18.A university student studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.This article has two parts: 1.Cultural and general info and music 2.political info.If you wanna get enlightened and shocked read it from top to bottom.
Hi.I’m Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don’t let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don’t like).Thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don’t even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.That’s why you don’t understand a few of Iran’s laws.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, they wear very fashionable clothes.Maybe it’s a kind of immitation, but still it’s got an unique Iranian style.You’ll see lots of beauty qeens on the streets that are just like models advertising fashionable clothes! Most part of their hair is out and they wear a lot of make up, also wearing scarves is a part of our culture.Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmics (which is bad for our economy)! People do whatever they wish to and some of the things they do, don’t fit our culture at all, however it’s normal in Iran.You’ll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagined before and how the real Iran is! It’s wonderful.Everything’s so great if you don’t take unemployment, inflation and air pollution into account which I guess are common problems in many other countries. Many things have changed so far.I can’t even compare Iran with 5 years ago, let alone comparing it with 30 years ago!!!! After all, nearly 65-70% of Iran’s population is considered the new generation (The youth) and they’ve transformed everything.

Some people think women don’t have any rights in Iran! Women are overtaking Iran. They’re treated very well.They’re the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities cos they’re so clever.They get the best jobs cos they can do jobs much better than men.They’ve got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to ask them a great amount of money according to the law which most husbands cannot afford, so they’ll be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that’s just because in Iran such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing DJ / pop songs.Anything! I’ve put a sample here.I feel foolish for sitting here explaining ordinary things to you.

Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourselves they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was ruled by those freaks (Taliban).When you think of such things, try to think of the racism in your country too.I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and that 60% of Iranians are Persian and 30% are Turkish! I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There’s nothing mysterious about it!(The media are very good at making scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I’m sure you don’t know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don’t hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. For instance this 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions and there are many many KIDS like that.You don’t know that Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don’t the media talk about them? They just can’t summerise everything in one word “nuclear”, although we’re proud of it cos having nuclear energy means a country is developed.Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran
