Well that's just great. Next we'll grant refugee status to every woman from the middle east , because they all risk persecution every day.

Brilliant move.

How could a Catholic member from the "rednecked reformer racist party" come up with such thing

[wildrosegirl]

I know!

It's an embarassment to rednecks everywhere.

[Yogi]

Why not? Then they can all be given jobs in The House of Parliament.No one would even notice a few more co******ers there!!!

You have got to be kidding me. Everyone is persecuted now a days and looking for a free ride....

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to claim persecution because I'm a straight, middle aged, white male who has always worked for a living. Now who is really persecuted in this country.

[RUEZ]

Am I the only West Coaster that feels sympathy for them?

[QBC]

Evidently....

Well, you do know where the word sympathy appears in the dictionary , dont ya?..

No you arent RUEZ, but my terminology would be empathy.

I didn't think there was such a thing as a gay Iranian?
Thought they just made eunichs out of anyone with gay tendencies over there, they must've missed these guys.

Hmmmm, after watching Midnight Express, I would have thought they could have found a job in Turkey as prison guards.

That's right! President ImamadNinja told us there were no gays in Iran. Thus this is just a nicely worded offer that will have no takers because the identified group does not exist!

Gay people are still being persecuted in this country. there is alot of bias and discrimination that goes on daily.. in the work place and schools... but hey if it works for immigration ...

Of course he can claim there are no gays in Iran. The only live ones left are in Turkey.

Agreed. Some of my people came here because they were poor, others because they were pushed off their land.

I doubt either would have got here these days.

I sometimes think we have forgotten how we got here...
