Stuxnet Worms On
Numerous Stuxnet related stories continue to flow through my bin today, so brace yourself:
Unsurprisingly, Iran blames Stuxnet on a plot set up by the West, designed to infect its nuclear facilities. A Symantec researcher analyzed the code and put forth attack scenarios. A Threatpost researcher writes about the sophistication of the worm. Finally, Dutch multinationals have revealed that the worm is also attacking them. We may never know what this thing was really all about.
>It's interesting because Iran actually allows and pays for sex-change surgeries.
News flash, transsexualism and homosexuality are two very different things. Please note we are talking about a country with a FUCKING DEATH PENALTY for homosexual acts. This makes Turing's treatment by the UK authorities sound like a walk in the park.
>they have a fascinating culture, and one thats very different from our own in many ways.
Finding a death penalty for homosexuality fascinating? It should be horrifying. Same thing for atheism or denying Islam.
>Thats pretty much what he said.
Err, transsexualism and homosexuality are two very different things. Iran has a lot of social pressures to force homosexuals into subsidized transsexual treatment, which does nothing but victimize and humiliate homosexuals who have no problem with their gender, its what they want to have sex with that has the theocracts running scared. Theocracy is not a valid form of government. Stop defending it as fascinating. Its victimizing and horrible.
So your saying, because Iran has some different views then us, we should disregard all their culture, because there isn't any redeeming value in it? Seriously?
Be seeing you...
