@Moosebot where are you? :(

@Mooseman where is @Moosebot? :(

@Joe where is @M.A.R.?

@M.A.R. where is @Joe?

M.A.R.

@Sha where is @Moosebot?

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. probably in Mooseland

Mooseland, Nova Scotia

Mooseland is a small rural community in the Musquodoboit Valley area of Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, on the Mooseland Road, 68 kilometres (42 mi) northeast of Halifax. The area is known to have deposits of gold and is the site of the first gold discovery in Nova Scotia. Mooseland is home to the Otter Ponds Demonstration Forest (www.opdf.ca) - a community forest initiative on publicly owned lands that aims to demonstrate uneven aged forest management and restoration of the Acadian Forest along the Eastern Shore. The Otter Ponds forest is approximately 1600 acres (647 hectares) that...

oh BTW, @M.A.R. it's good thing you don't play chess....

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard Why?

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. rferl.org/a/…

would be a shame if you'll be punished because you played against me, for example.... :/

@Moosebot come back from Mooseland and kill @Dro

M.A.R.

Nah, such articles are usually hyperbolic

Shadow Wizard

8:20 AM

@M.A.R. it was also in our local media, they do check before publishing so it's probably true, not fake news.

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard Well, everyone in Iran and outside Iran with an Iranian name has been either extremely right-wing or extremely left-wing.

It's tiring

And it's been like this for 40-something years.

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. hmm? Sorry, lost you on this...

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard I'm explaining why I always sigh when I see such articles

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. since the radical Islam took control over Iran?

M.A.R.

It's not really that radical.

More like a cat that fights back if you step on its tail.

Shadow Wizard

8:24 AM

@M.A.R. they publicly call to destroy anyone who is not Muslim, how isn't it radical?

M.A.R.

Everyone is either exaggerating its accomplishments, or its failures.

No one likes to see the bigger picture.

@ShadowWizard So are you suggesting that Jews and Christians aren't living happily here?

Because that's not the case.

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. dunno about Christians, but Jewish population in Iran dropped from 100,000 to below 10,000 and likely will keep dropping until they are all gone. True, they're not killed by the government or anything like that, but surely not feeling welcome either.

M.A.R.

There's no racist or bigot's agenda running here as far as I can tell. That's India.

Shadow Wizard

India?

isConfused

M.A.R.

There is however a recent trend of calling anything that smells government-y as bad

@ShadowWizard Yeah, it seems political parties clash badly in some cities

Shadow Wizard

8:28 AM

Anyway, you say that the government did ban those teenagers, but it's not a big deal?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard I'm saying I can't say for sure what exactly happened unless I happen to talk to those teenagers.

There's a damn lot of misinformation going on about Iran.

A glimpse of which I think you experienced in the recent US election

But in the end, all governments are the same

They will defend their existence

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. well, I know Trump exaggerate about Iran, that's for sure, but we have a left-winged newspaper in Israel which is against Trump, and I saw the report about the chess players there.

If it was fake news, they would have used it against Trump, believe me.

They did it with his false claim about terrorist attack on Belgium couple of days ago. (or was it Sweden?)

M.A.R.

I can't be sure, still.

I sometimes hate all the media in the world.

I want the news, not an analysis of it, dammit

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. well, that's impossible, I'm afraid. But I understand your frustration.... @Dro also try hard to research and learn the truth about things and need to read lots of sources to reach it.

1 hour later…

Shadow Wizard

9:36 AM

@M.A.R. anyway, this is the original article I've read:ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4925288,00.html you can Translate it probably. Your own local media didn't mention any of this?

@ShadowWizard sometimes, its just common sense, for example, whatever Donald Trump say, has to be shrugged off and thrown away as rubbish. Other times, you have to understand after reading a lot. Usually, local and international stories are different, like Pakistan's war on terror (read good taliban and bad taliban)
