Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

One photo shows how quickly things change when religious zealots take over

 


When someone showed me this photo, I was asked where it was. I never would have guessed. No one then thought things would change so drastically so quickly:


Here is an image from Iran of a woman cutting her birthday cake in 1973, 5 years before the Islamic Revolution there. Just wanted to point out how things can change when the government gets religious.


By the way, if you want to see more pictures of life in Iran before the Islamic Revolution, click here. The photos are indistinguishable from others in any American city from that time period. Just please don’t tell me it can’t happen here.
