Idea of Family, Vs - Battle, see who wins! (which side wins)

In Iran, idea of family is

- 20 to 35 people, and 100 or more if extended

- wedding inviting all the known family members would be 300 seats guarantees

- everyone is called an uncle or aunt for precise relation recalling can be hard

- often one member is regarded as nosy, for they always gossip and get involved into private matter too frequent

- young people don't know their grandparents as much as their siblings and cousins, but they don't know hollow wood "stars" that much either

- their heads are jammed with schedules, not bothered with brand names and to-buy shopping list

In Africa, idea of family is

- my mother might be my cousin

- that chiwahwah looked mighty cute in them jeans

- 900,000 to 15,000,000 is the standard family size, for anybody here might be the girl, or the Dad

- weddings involve booze, public dance and occasion invaders

- no idea of year, everyone is either young, baby, mature or old, for everyday is summer

Let's now compare to this country's idea of family:

- 3 to 6 people, at max 8 or 9

- strangers, strangers and more strangers attend weddings, often cousins don't even come, not because they don't want to but due to unsynchronized schedules and distance obscurity

- small wedding, mid-size wedding or big wedding

- Coke is my homeboy, Lowlywood celebrities are my friends, and brand names are my key family members

- my head is so full of commercials and their spasm energies that I just want to roll a joint right now. I've never seen a cow before, and what's strawberry, does it grow on trees? How come I never seen a watermelon tree of french fry crop on Discovery channel?

- I know the idea of gay. I am well familiar with the term dawg and knows how to use it, but who is Tesla or Nicolas Tsar?

- as for my family, my parents had been divorced and married twice, I've never met my grandpa, only my grandma and only once, while my aunt Sally moved to Melbourne last year, I see my biological father once a decade. He is a she now, since the gender change. Her name is now Jordan.

Now onto fun, the idea of fun in this country has become:

- going shopping by self, onto a shopping spree, instead of visiting friends and family or young toddler's baby showers or birthday events

- indulge in long sitting session whether in couch, on sofa or in front of LCD screens

- dreaming about making fifty thousand a year, ignoring obvious social problems that are very quickly ramping up heading towards hitting themselves later on, a giant chain cataclysm. The goal usually gets accomplished by idling in places and finishing rotten quality assignments but state-stamped assignments though

- being allowed to have freedom, being permitted to go to park

- writing tauntful and sickly spit on Basebook and other "social" mediums

- mocking everyone and presuming one self is great, not really to feel great, but to seriously prevent from mental breakdown from catching a sight of reality

- being venomous to others though the road to self-development is perfectly open and available 24/7 at free admission price
