my guess Tehran is one of the most socially advanced cities in middle east, probably the most advanced in whole region, where you have strong religion side but everything else runs like in a western country. Iranians are not radicals, less radicals than catholics i might say *points to inquisition*.
agreed with Myroria about sad society with info eating problem, although it's how we run, the way we get info isn't going to change for some centuries.
true that whoever knights it's their problem, but it's something the English should loose imo, 'lords chamber'? 'knights'? points to irreversible aristocracy, aristocracy rules the people, people have to eat it. All those ceremonies, knighting, lords chambers, court of justice where they use same outfits 300years ago or whatever. It's tradition i applaud it, but it's fit to a theater of reconstruction imo. It was this kind of things that led the English have million different things from other European countries that in my fucking honest opinion think they were made JUST to be different. "Oh the french use meters, let's use inches!" "The french use long scale, let's invent short scale!" "the french use euro, let's keep our dear coin!" "the french eat frogs, let's spread the word that eat frogs is disgusting!" ...things like that.
