Another peek into the "Iranian Mind" so-called... more stone age hijinks.

Can't be more brain dead than banning bank regulators in the USA :(
As I have been saying for some time, one of the key factors in the 21st century is the confrontation of liberal (social, political and economic) with traditional cultures. This is happening within countries, among countries and among regions. It's not only a yooge factor. It's is bloody and is going to be bloodier.
This is one of the paradoxes of liberalism — forcing those who are traditional to accept liberalism imposed by pressure, law and even at the point of a gun. This is a big problem for both neoliberalism and neoconservativism, for example, which involve economic and political liberalism.
But it is also a problem with social liberalism. Iran's official condemnation of Valentine's Day is a reaction to social liberalism. Similar reactions can be observed elsewhere, including domestically in the US where traditionalists are also drawing red lines. And recall that supposedly liberal Athenian democracy condemned Socrates to death for "impiety and corrupting the youth" through a vote of assembled citizens.
Oh, and did I forgeet to mention that one of the chief purpose of the meeting between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill is to address the secularization of Western society that had been traditionally Christian.
We should ban it here, too. Along with Christmas and all the other fake holidays that are now just forced upon us to get us to spend money so that the corporate sector can make more profits and shit all over us.
Secret sigh of relief as Valentine's Day is banned.
Ban Valentine's Day? But chocolate is the last semi-healthy junk food over-marketed to US citizens.
If we ban Valentine's Day, how will we keep our obesity rates up?
And if we don't keep our obesity rates up, how will we pay for all the "health-repair" we currently get?
And if we don't keep paying healthcare workers .... what else will young citizens & immigrants do? :(
There would be catastrophic job losses!
What's next, Mike ... ban red wine too? :)
If we do both of THOSE things ... there would soon be a bordello next to every police station .... again.
Are you sure you've thought this through, Mike?
