Stampede kills 56 at funeral for Iranian general slain by US

Wth is wrong with these people? They can't just get in line in an orderly fashion like civilized human beings?

Savages!

 

Thoughts and prayers

 

Perhaps, that's because you can't see past your own moral vacuity.

What you are either unwilling or unable to understand is that there are Iranians who don't share your problem and view Soleimani, his colleagues and their supporters as deviants. Not only do these Iranians include ordinary citizens, they include none other than Ruhollah Khomeini's hand-picked successor, Grand Ayatollah Hussein-Ali Montazeri, who was placed under house arrest by the supreme leader of these deviants, Ali Khamenei, for declaring them and their political system "condemned and illegitimate".

Another thing you don't understand, is that you are insulting and degrading the Iranian people by attempting to normalize the views of the deviants and deviancy you are defending, and this the typical of the offensive poverty of expectations that one commonly encounters with ignorant and arrogant Westerners. It's because of people like you that decent ordinary Iranian citizens have to keep telling people outside their country that they are not terrorists and terrorist sympathizers as you would have us believe.

 

So what you’re saying is that much like the United States there are people who disagree with the government, and of course people who do. Got it.

 

Nice to see you referring to a mass murderer who was drenched in American blood in such respectful terms. Would you like me to describe the sort of person who finds it lamentable that an enemy of his own country and humanity lost his "Innocent Life as a result of Trump's Impulsive Actions"?

While I appreciate you taking the time to inform everyone who's side your on, permit me to point out that the people who trampled one another are solely responsible for trampling one another. Trump did not render them incapable of controlling their bodies and gathering in public without trampling one another. To suggest otherwise is, to put it generously, irrational.

 

Is that your summary?

No, you didn't get it...

 

Guess not. Care to break it down for me?

 

Our perhaps our Muslim brothers have reached a stage in their humanistic state of morality that they don't need us to fight their own psychopathic brothers and sisters in the Islamic State anymore.

Either way, I agree that now would be a good time to part ways so we can further develop our humanistic states of morality and charity on our own.

 

I've already broken it down for you.

 

Not well enough, I guess.

 

It's been broken down, and broken down, and broken down..... At some point you just have to walk away.

 

It's not their fault. According to Andrew they died on account of Orange Man Bad's Jedi mind tricks.

 

I'm there, sister.

And thanks for your moral clarity. That was quite refreshing under the circumstances...

 

Ahh! Thanks for clearing that up for me .

 

I was just being facetious.

What difference does it make? They see him as a highly successful general who led the fight against the bad guys (ISIS and whatever). You guys don’t. It makes as much sense as Iranians mocking the families of those who lost American generals and soldiers (since they’re pretty much seen as dirty crusaders).

Yeah, well, my “guys” ceased to be rulers of the world a long time go. The Puritans who founded America were hard working, God-fearing, and respectable individuals. A far cry from the white trash in this thread, but all empires have to come to and end, now don’t they?

 

Got ya. I've already had one person take me literally with that term and I thought you were doing the same.

What difference does it make? I guess it matters to the people who are concerned about how other people perceive them and whether or not they understand why they think and act the way they do.

Obviously, everyone doesn't care about that, but I guess it matters to the Iranians who don't like being stereotyped as a bunch of terrorists and terrorist sympathizers and cringe at the thought of the video of that funeral procession being broadcast over TV and computer screens worldwide. Likewise, the negative perception of Soliemani and his supporters explains the different reactions to the funeral and stampede outside Iran and the region. Just as one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, one man's "innocent" is another man's trash.

So it would seem, and unless we rediscover who and what we are we're going to wind up just like the rest of them.
