Can anyone give me a thorough description of the day-to-day life of a person living in Iran right now?  For example, what is it like to go to work or school in Iran?  Are there police patrols like in the U.S.?  Is oppression something they see everyday or is it more covert?  Thanks!  Any online resources would also be really appreciated!

Hi I have been living in Iran as a christian for the rest of my life. Iran is a great country. The image that they have represented to the world has been false. There are some obligations regarding to the law.women should wear scarfs in the streets but not like the ones which are wearing the arab muslims. Girls are so fashionable the scarfs are coming in different colors such as pink blue...\n The girls should wear the same scarfs in the school. Every year 65 percent of the ones who are entering the university are women. They are occupying some high ranking jobs in the society. There are police patrols with the new mercedes benz cars  everywhere and I could tell that the traffic is Irans worst part.\n I'll be glad to tell you more.

The Iranians I have met have been very friendly and good people. Unfortunately, they are ruled by evil mullahs preaching hate. They are oppressed by the evil theocracy that took over after the Shah was deposed, and suffer without freedom or liberty.\n\nBut, except for some of us, nobody - not the UN, not the EU not the Democrats - give a rat's tail about the people of Iran. They're too busy hating Bush, hating Israel and hating the USA to actually care about anybody.

I consider myself to be a rare species in this country(USA) because I respect every culture. Especially Iran. The people are very beautiful and loyal to their traditions, it's wonderful!

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

Some of the basics are, 8 hours sleep no more or less.  A well balanced diet, & Physical activities.  Physical activity releases a chemical in your brain that actually causes you to be happy.  Another thing find a reason to get up every morning.  Find a group of people that you can help everyday.  Helping others will help you.  In Iran you should be able to help someone.  Start a small group of woman and discuss ways to better your surroundings.  May God surround you and bring you peace and joy.  May peace be with you

I'm from an  Arabian country so, I do know this country very well. it's safe but   there is no freedom when you go there forget about  the freedom ,you won't be able to do whatever you want cause it's conservative country ,, they are strict but in general don't worry about  the safety it's safe, \nvenus

Iran is basically a weak country militarily speaking. But it could be a major pain in the ass handled wrong. Their military is basically jury rigged. But it is better than anytime since the Shah's fall. And they are the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. So take your pick. Power is half might, and half strategy.

I'm glad to see that, at least an Iranian Muslim said that they respect Jesus and celebrate New Year there.\n\nBut, I'm guessing the lady is not in Iran, but a refugee here.  Because the media we see about Iran, after the Ayotollahs took over, is horrifying!?\n\nThey'd stoned a woman to death for prostitution and hung a gay couple, recently, in Iran.

Aren't the French in chronic revolution? Strikes are the norm. Nightly car burnings are the norm (not even counting the recent Muslim commotion). It's a highly unstable culture, glad I'm not there (the few days I spent in Paris were more than enough for me).

Ough! I'm an Iranian! I think Iran's national team deteriorated in the world cup. Noone played well. During the last week, I heared lots of jokes about our Goalkeeper and Ali Daei. Iranians didn't expect those losses! So, I think they'll face the team with anger!

I have a friend who lives in Iran and he wants USA to bomb and come into his country cause he says his government is awful ( the women gets acid tossed in their face if they don't have their veil on right ) Now that's bad when a person wants his country to be in war. but then again if Bush is still in office we will be going there next.

Hi.  i have a cd of Iranian traditional music. ( I brought it at Borders).  I liked it very much.  I imagine your popular music must be also very good.  By the way I love iranian filmaker Majid Majidi's movies: Bacheha-Ye aseman (Children of Heaven), Baran, etc.\nI am glad you are happy.
