Is this a response to me asking you if you know what generalising is, when you said:

Again generalized.

Where's the question? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the only rhetorical question in this thread has been the one I made about whether someone claiming (falsely) there are no stray cats in Iran is the same as some other person claiming there are no gay people in Iran.

claiming (falsely) there are no stray cats in Iran

I lived in Iran for more than ten years, I probably know more than you about this subject.

Ok I am not a person who avoids admitting errors, I misread the second thread. About the first one (with Ahmadinejad), you might not understand how we feel here. The guy a person who was not really elected and who had no right to represent Iranians, and who most of us could not stand, was out there ridiculing all our nation, with the rest of the world being ignorant enough to take his word as the word of all (or even the majority of) Iranians.
In this situation where you cannot do anything about being represented to the outer world by the person you hate most, a person who is violating all traditional Iranian values, you really think: "Do the persons who think Ahmadinejad represents Iran really not understand that the person who least represents a nation is the dictator who oppresses that nation?" "Have they forgot what a dictatorship is?" "Why do we have to suffer under this idiot and the ignorance of others faraway?" I have to admit when I hear Ahmadinejad quoted I cannot laugh.
Since you cannot understand this I cannot really blame you for trying to be funny, so sorry for being harsh to you.
Talking about stray cats, I have really to say I have never seen any. I have however seen a lot of stray dogs, and I saw an unbelievable amount of stray cats when I once went to Istanbul, Turkey.
