Reply to: Programmer Sentenced To Death In Iran

[yetanotherbob]

Just another reason why Iran, the way it is now, won't be missed much once this problem gets dealt with.

The way it's governing regime is now - a theocratic, fundamentalist, corrupt, retrogade bunch of clerics.

I don’t know what constitutes uploading p0rn in Iran but it has nothing on some Mullahs who were arrested for running brothels. They get-around is to bless couples with a temporary marriage lasting two hours.

Two hours?
When my mate disappeared through a door in Amsterdam, he was back out in 15 minutes!

Have we done this?

Fair-minded peace lovers at it again.

Since when has the totalitarian corrupt regime been ever described (except by itself, possibly) as Fair-Minded peace lovers?

By confirming Saeed Malekpour’s death sentence after an unfair trial, the Iranian authorities are sending a message to Iranians not to freely express their views, or even to help others to do so, including on the Internet,

Someone who can put up a website is not a programmer.

According to Wikipedia, the first official use of Great Britain was 1474, roughly 500 years before we abolished the death penalty. So I'm not sure the two things are connected.

To clarify - its just one of the many Great things Britain accomplished through the ages - I mean what have the Brits ever done for us ?



Does haughty Gaul invasion threat?
Then let the louns beware, Sir;
There's wooden walls upon our seas
And volunteers on shore, Sir:
The Nith shall run to Corsincon,
And Criffel sink in Solway,

Ere we permit a Foreign Foe
On British ground to rally!

We'll ne'er permit a Foreign Foe
On British ground to rally!

They get-around is to bless couples with a temporary marriage lasting two hours.

I heard the above myself and apparently there is indeed a temp marriage license - I guess it costs a few bob too !!!

Anyway the above is no surprise as the Koran itself highlights that all man created institutions and Nation States are corrupt - becaise they are not directly from the Devine - and you can find this notion in all the Abrahamic scriptures the Bible and Torah.

It’s another one of those confessions on TV. Whenever I see those type of confessions I immediately believe they are forced and invalid. There should be some sort of international convention banning public confessions on TV.

It's relevant because normally once someone is out of jurisdiction of a particular place (ie visiting other country) then things done there normally only covered by local laws.

Tricky with the web though. If he put the site up while not in Iran and then returned home, the site still exists so isn't he still committing a crime (if any of it were true)?

How is that relevant?

AtW, I would expect you to be in favour of death penalties considering your penchant for guns. No?

No, I am not in favour of death penalties in general even though some scumbags commit such crimes for which they certainly deserve death.

[AlfredJPruffock]

No state should have the power of awarding the Death Sentence - Iran nor the USA.

The UK did the right thing in abolishing the Death Sentence.

You see thats why we are refered to as Great Britain.
