      Just so we’re clear, you didn’t answer the question. Should different individuals have a choice about whether or not to wear a headscarf?

      Or is the answer that you instead believe that the choice wasn’t the interviewers but instead directed by, uh, “The West”?

        Absolutely, everybody should have a choice over that. The obvious problem with your line of arguing is that CNN could’ve easily found someone who would wear a headscarf to interview the Iranian president as well. The fact that you couldn’t see the obvious flaw in your argument really highlights the quality of your intellect.

          What argument? I asked you a question that you ignored. Thanks to getting to it eventually, and for answering the obvious followup that indeed you do believe this was orchestrated by “The West” (CNN). It’s really shed light on your reason for posting this as it didn’t seem to fit with last week’s theme of how The West is in decline and America was no longer relevant on the world stage.

          What’s it called again when a worker steps in to take the place of a worker who has refused to do something on principle because of their rights or conditions?

            You asked a loaded question which you tried to use as a hamfisted smear. I love the fact that you can’t understand just how transparent you are. Meanwhile, western regimes fucking around the world instead of spending resources on improving lives of people living in the west is precisely why the west is in decline. I see this is another direct cause and effect relationship that’s too complex for you to comprehend.

            Is your follow up question about scabs meant to go somewhere or you’re just attempting to be clever again?

              I’m sure I’m being very transparent, Yogthos. Why would I be opaque or obtuse? Life’s too short to spend a long time with some hidden agenda. For example, I’m sure if you were clearer about what you think is the direct cause and effect relationship between CNN interviewing or not a foreign leader and the decline of western civilisation, while I might not understand it, perhaps superior intellects might. As it stands, we don’t know, because you haven’t tried. You’ve just linked to a meme.

                  If “fishing” means “trying to get someone to explain why he’s posting memes to a news community, again”… yes.
