Sex

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

In this post I am going to talk about my experience about sex in Canada. So, please leave it here if you are not interested in reading nude ideas. I will not hesitate using explicit words.

What does it mean, sex? What do we mean when we talk about “sex”, “sexual”, “sexy”. Is “a sexy girl” a girl you, as a boy, tend to have sex with at the first moment you can? What happens when you live in a country in which all those “hot” parts of women are just visible out there in the streets. Do you think you are going to have sexual dreams all night, every night? Is sex before marriage moral? What does it mean “one-night stand”? How would you feel if you see a box of condoms in the health center desk. Close to the place where two “hot” young women are doing their everyday job, including smiling at you? Why people do not pick up one of those condoms and make it up with one of those sexy girls just there? What happens if in “American Father” cartoon, the boy, which is told by a bad guy to not to be his mothers son, proposes her sister to kiss him in the mouth. Will it result in a ten-times increase of incest? In “Family Guy” poor father realizes that his dog has always loved his wife. So what?
There is an Iranian answer: “Sex? What do you mean?” There are also Iranian facts. Sexual problems are responsible for more than half of divorces in Iran (see). Many of these so-called “sexual problems” are just misunderstandings (I know personally couples with such problems). A very rude question, how many of us know sexual spots of human body? Also, how many of us have searched the internet for it, and have received the answer from mysterious sources which may or may not carry the truth. So, isn’t it important to know her/his body to satisfy her/him? See this article including a full analysis of the problem (see). There are lots of more articles in this area (see See).
There is a better answer: they train children at schools. There are special places in U of M where you can consult about the guy you wish to stay with for just one night. It is no Taboo. If you ask them why they are talking about sex to this extent, they will answer you “are you ashamed of it?” or “so, isn’t there all those books containing hundreds of recipes out there? What’s the difference?”
Really, what is the difference? Although, rather than sex, you can not ask your Iranian mother if you are having problems passing your water!
Just to make a happy ending, see how a naked woman body is not always pornographic (see). Specially, see the “statue” section (see). She is a woman with no hands. She got pregnant and they put her naked statue in Trafalgar Square.

My Chinesse Friend

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

I’ve got a chinesse friend. He is a Ph.D. student and has come here last August. He is a nice short-sighted boy which is ready to laugh. He asked me about Azadeh and told me that he has got a girlfriend back in China. Then I asked him the funny question “is it OK in China to have a girlfriend”? His answer was more like the image in the right. I tried to make it easier so I replied, “you know, Iran and China are so similar blah blah blah”. At the end I knew two important pieces of news,
  1. Even in China, people think about economy. So, being communist does not mean that people should live in hundreds of limitations and in desperate situations.
  2. My friend was surprised about the way I was talking about Ahmadinejad. He asked me “so, you do not support your gvernment?” Even chinesse people love their government.

My nice laughing friend left my desk, but not my mind. You know, I was recently watching Ahmadinejad’s sit-down comedy about the goblet of fire.

Red Beard

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

Read this article to have some information about how Tehran stock market is working (see). Just to let you know, it is from the official site for Tehran stock market. Briefly, the article includes an interview with a controversial guy which is playing around in the stock market, collecting money. He has been behind bars for what he does and he is still doing it. A funny point: his last name is Ahmadi, so similar to Ahmadinejad. He is carrying the nickname “red beard”, so much sounds like pirates’ names.

Canada

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

Baztab talks about “Canada’s new trick against Iranian briliant youth” (see).

I have reached to this conclusion that Canad is not actually a country with the Iranian assumption about a “country”. In my opinion, Canada is more like a community or a living-place. In this way, it is not so clear what means to say “I am canadian”. Technically, it would mean like “I have been in Canada for some years” or at the best point “my ancestors came to Canada some decades ago”. I have a graduate course in which nobody is “Canadian”, four Iranians, four or five from eastern asians and that’s all. In this framework, Canada is a place to gather and live in peace. And I mean it when I say “live in peace”. Now, why should this community of people which is actually collecting sharp minds using universities and a nice attitude, may decide to harm coming people? This is like this: You are a sharp guy and you are living in a country governed by Ahmadinejad. Then they give you permission to come to Canada and they support you in exchange with the work you do. At the moment that you recieve your Candian citizenship, you feel how much you owe to this “country”. Hence, you start to work around the clock to make a living and raise decent children. Isn’t it great? They need you and by just not bothering you, as Ahmedinejad’s flock do regularly, they buy your love. Please give me the answer, why should Canada reject a working calm youth to enter Canada and work there? In my personal experience, when I went to Canadian embassy in Tehran and told them that I am applying for a student VISA, I saw see that they treated me as a real important guy. At least compared to all those people around the embassy that were trying to come to Canada with other excuses. Canada is the place to live in peace and I don’t think Baztab guys can digest it. I would appreciate if I can contact any of these “Iranian students” who has written this letter (see).

I Shop So I Am

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

Everybody knows that internet is full of pornography. Once I had the statistics of pornographic content in the internet, because of doing some research on image-preocessing-based methods to stop nudity. I do not remember the actual values but I do remember that it was a real mess. Now, BBC reports that women and computer games are among the most frequently searched words (see). Though, these results are based on the queries by people not seeking pornography in the internet. The report concludes that, even if not searching for webporn, users of the internet are looking for non-important things. The question is, where the hell in the world anyone looks for some real thing? In Iraq, in “Mission Impossible”, or in funny relationship of Tom Cruise with his new girl?

Anyway, I did a small research of my own. I searched for these words in Google: Hatred, porno, Ahmadinejad, Nudity, Paris Hilton, Hope, Terror, War, Islam, Shop, Allah, Sex, God, and Jesus. This list is sorted in terms of number of pages divided by number of images, a funny measure, though. In terms of number of pages containing these words, Google shows this list: Shop, War, Hope, Sex, God, Terror, Jesus, Islam, Paris Hilton, Hatred, porno, Allah, Nudity, and Ahmadinejad. So, people shop and go to war with other nations. Hoping God loves all of us, and equipped with Sex which is the fancy part of all television shows, news on terrorism remember westerners that Jessus version of God is more important. Though, Islam is also top of the list, maybe because of hatred. The same list is made when we soirt the entries in terms of number of images found by Google.

Thanks God. Sex is not the most important thing in the world. At least, shopping and going to war are more important than sex. By the way, God is always everywhere.

As Plain As…

How to Pirate Movies

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

This may be not so new to many, but was really new to me when I first learnt it. When you live in a serious country, like Canada, if you are a movie-watching guy then you have to pay 5$ for renting one hot movie from Buck-Buster for a week. Being a student, that would not be your choice for sure. So, what is the solution? Torrent is the way, indeed. As much as I know, torrent is a new technology aimed at peer-to-peer data transmission. There are plenty of tools for hiring a torrent service, but the general story is the same. You share some files, and as you do not like those fancy copyright protection guys, you make a torrent. The torrent includes your address, but keeps your privacy. To download a movie you have to first find a suitable torrent file. You can go to torrentspy for example. There are several other torrent-archiving systems, but torrentspy is my choice. It contains torrents of movies, TV shows, also books and as it is a part of the internet, lots of pornography. Also, there are lots of nude ads in the pages, so be careful. When you’ve done downloading a torrent file, which is a small file of few hundred KB, at most, that’s the time to wait and count the bytes coming. Hence, you need a torrent client. I use bitcomet. Just search google and download the first version you find. Now, double-click on the torrent file and watch how it is being downloaded. Generally, if you have a fast line, you will have the movie in a few days. But be aware: Some files are compressed. Torrentspy gives passwords for them, which in my experience are always correct. But do not mess with the owners of files and what they ask for to give you the password. Generally, I would prefer files without any password. Also, be aware of health of files. Personally, I will not go for files which are not full-green-healthy. By the way, you can watch the movie as soon as you have, say, 20% of it in your computer. So, take a look and do not waste your time.

In my experience, I watch movies with a DVD-player. So, if you are in the same boat make sure that you are buying a DIVX-enabled DVD player. I bought a LG one for 99$. There are not so many DVD players that support DIVX and some of them are funnily expensive. If you are planning on using a DVD-player, make sure that you only download AVI files. There are also Real files which will not play on your DVD-player. By the way, you can find out the format of files you are downloading when you first feed them into bitcomet.

So, go on, do it, but, after all, what you are doing is essentially piracy. So, do it with your own responsibility.

Add-ins for Windows xp

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

Microsoft released a set of power toys (see). It contains a different Alt+Tab experience with some, realy useful, enhancements for LCD displays. More important, there is this new calculator inthe package, using what you can draw curves. I have always missed this one. I am going to see if there is a version for my Packet PC too. Thanks Billy.

Academic Paradigm of Clerics

Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran

This photograph is from a meeting about “academic paradigm” (see). It seems that Iran has changed too much. Because, as I remember, there were few cleric professors that time, I mean three months ago. Basically, there were no cleric professors in Sharif, except in that “Vali Faqih’s representatives”.
