Linda Howard4 said:Look, in our previous discussions, people constantly bring up the Nobel Prize as if it’s some ultimate, infallible yardstick for measuring an individual's worth or achievement. We all know the general idea behind it—what it represents and why it exists—but I’ve developed a healthy dose of skepticism regarding how the winners are actually selected. Just like anything else of this magnitude, I'm convinced there's another side to the coin that doesn't get much airtime. It would be genuinely interesting to dig deeper into the actual mechanics or the politics behind the scenes. If anyone here has any concrete insights or specific details on how these decisions are really made, I’m all ears.
nimbleranger19 said:Look, nobody's out here claiming they aren't a developing nation or pretending they don't have TVs and modern gadgets. My only real question is where you're getting this idea that Iranians graduate more students every year than we do in the States. Obviously, if you're looking at percentages, it might look different, but let's be real—the quality just isn't on the same level. American universities are leagues ahead of anything coming out of Iran.
BTW, building satellites, rockets, and messing around with nanotechnology isn't some magic yardstick for actual progress. It’s basically just burning through massive piles of cash. The rockets the Iranians are launching today are pretty much what the West was using fifty years ago, so they aren't exactly cutting-edge technology.

nimbleranger19 said:For real? What kind of achievements are we even talking about here?
Name just one single thing invented by an Iranian (and they gotta be educated in Iran and actually living there, too).🤣
nimbleranger19 said:Seriously?
Where on earth did you pull those numbers from?
silenteagle11 said:Now I finally get why there are so many "educated" people in Iran🙂
(madrasa = an Islamic school where they don't teach anything besides Islam🙄)
silenteagle11 said:How many madrasas are actually running in Iran anyway?😲😁😉 ...
Richard Wilson4 said:These brave fighters fighting for freedom from those evil Americans are out there threatening girls just because they dared to learn how to read and write, instead of staying cooped up at home in some ninja squad waiting on their master...
If it wasn't so depressing, it would actually be kind of funny...
analogfalcon38, you got a sister?
Would you let her go to school?
velvetmarlin24 said:What kind of nonsense is this? I have no clue where you get the idea that the Middle East is some model of democracy. Give me a break. In a place where you could be executed just for being gay, or where pedophilia is justified by holy books, you've really lost your sense of reality.

velvetmarlin24 said:I certainly have my reasons to doubt them. I think you're exaggerating a bit; you mention American crimes, but what about Muslim bombs and other attacks? Are those just justified or made up out of thin air?
I see right through people like you.
It’s fine to criticize the West, but the moment someone tries to look closely at the Middle East, suddenly everyone is a liar or a conspiracy theorist... Come on, grow up and see things for what they actually are.

velvetmarlin24 said:The point is simple: everyone loves a story that favors them.
I’d bet anything that even Fox News would cite themselves as a reliable source if it meant publishing something that benefited Muslims.

boldgardener93 said:How pathetic. You're using double standards. You condemn one group (rightfully so) but then start making excuses for others—saying maybe it was revenge or they were sick or whatever. If you want anyone to take you seriously as a conversationalist, you should probably apply the same rules to everyone. And hiddengardener84 is right to demand proof that anyone here actually glorifies them (specifically him); otherwise, everyone is just going to see you as a liar.
frozendrifter7 said:It could be madness, a sickness—because, frankly, I don’t think anyone truly sane and healthy can stomach killing children—vengeance, perhaps he lost a family member to a Palestinian suicide bomber on a bus or something similar, and there are plenty of other reasons. Breaking into someone's home and murdering civilians caught in the crossfire is a war crime; I agree with you there, and it absolutely deserves condemnation. But what about these terrorists and suicide bombers lugging around five or six kilos of explosives? To me, they are nothing more than criminals, yet you and people like you view them as heroes, martyrs, or freedom fighters. It sickens me—just as it sickened me two years ago when I watched the Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

hiddengardener84 said:Oh yeah? Then how do you explain a Jewish criminal breaking into a house and murdering three or four kids for no reason? Did you even read the post about what these Jewish criminals do to children?👎 That can only be called a war crime and genocide, just like what Hitler did to the Jews.
velvetmarlin24 said:analogfalcon38 mentioned that both the British Independent and the Norwegian New York Times are reporting this.
So, suddenly these foreign outlets are reliable sources for you? I guess they aren't just tools for mass brainwashing Westerners anymore? Is this because the article happens to favor your side, or did the author or the owner just decide to switch teams?
frozendrifter7 said:First off, we’re talking about semantics here. A "bomb attack" is fundamentally different from an "airstrike." You have Google at your fingertips—just type in "bomb attack" and see how many results link it directly to airstrikes? Absolutely none.
Second—and this is the crux of it—it’s about intent. A pilot or a munitions expert is targeting enemy combatants or terrorists; they aren't out there looking to slaughter pregnant women, children, or the elderly—the civilians. Suicide bombers and terrorists, however, go out of their way to kill civilians. They couldn't care less if they blow up a commuter bus full of people heading to work, or trap a crowd in a theater with explosives, or—heaven forbid—capture a soldier just to decapitate him and mail his head back to his mother.
You're comparing apples to oranges.

velvetmarlin24 said:Yeah, right. I can't imagine anyone else saying that besides analogfalcon38. It’s just empty rhetoric at this point. Maybe things would actually get sorted out if those Islamic extremists would just leave everyone alone.
