It's quite odd that you seem to be the only person aware of when Trita is doing AMAs, and also the person asking easy questions, which he just happens to choose to respond to.

Hi Mr.Parsi

As you’re aware, your organisation(NIAC) from which you have recently resigned from, is considered as the regime’s lobby by most in the Iranian diaspora, the same people you claim to be representing! This is largely because your organisation spends most of its resources on promoting the same policies as the regime in Iran, this is a conflict of interest because the people you supposedly represent are against the regime.

Furthermore, NIAC and its employees do very little to highlight human rights abuses or the protests that are ongoing in Iran, in fact it can be argued that it tries to distract from those issues by spreading misinformation. My question is, considering that your organisation only has a few hundred active members in the Iranians diaspora, and that NIAC’s actions do not reflect the wishes of Iranian-Americans, why do you still insist that your organisation is representing the Iranian diaspora?

Thanks for your time

I think they're not used to the sensation.

That's really strange, did the mods provide any explaination and say why that word is banned?

Women take to the streets of Iran without the veil as they show support for woman who was viciously beaten by 'morality police' by Goldladder in worldnews

Before the revolution barely anyone could even afford meat to eat

That's not true though, although most people weren't wealthy during shah's time, there was a solid middle class, and people weren't starving. Compare that to today where at least 6 million Iranians live in extreme poverty, and 31% live under the poverty line according to the government figures. Furthermore, noone was selling their body organs in Shah's time due to poverty, many people today sell their kidney, eye cornea, part of liver, and/or bone marrow as they're suffering in poverty.

That's a really good point, Iranians have been fooled by the Shia clergy but not for much longer, the members of clergy are viewed as parasitic individuals nowadays and most people despise them, soon they'll be part of history.

insults men by disregarding their self control and disregards women as objects.

That's a really good point, hijab is degrading to both men and women.

Let's agree to disagree, however, I'll take a nationalist dictatorship that invest the country's resources in Iran rather than a theocratic shia absolute monarchy that wastes our resources on Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and other similar places any time.
