Such Generosity



Iranian women will be allowed to attend soccer matches for first time since the country's 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a decree posted on his Web site Monday.

The article goes on to say, "Women would sit in separate sections of the stand, away from the usually raucous male fans."

I guess even ruthless, bloodthirsty lunatics have a good side.

Sheesh.

Soccer?!

Err, is this supposed to be a reward or a punishment?

Will they force women to go?

woman: don't give them any ideas.

caz: heh heh. I'd much rather play soccer than watch it.

I don't understand why the women don't revolt en masse. Sure the men would kill some of the women, but the can't kill them all. I think I'd rather die than live like that.

Isn't it in soccer stadiums where countries like Iran publically execute people?
I wish someone would take this guy OUT!

Crazy...seperate those poor women so the overenthusiastic males won't be tempted! Oh brother...what century is this anyway? :O

That's exactly what I thought, WomanHonorThyself!

Pretty soon, those mullahs would be burying them up to their heads underneath the grass and launching soccer balls at them.
