Okay, maybe I should have written "13"

What would you say is the percentage of Iranians who meet this criteria?

But if we give Iranians shit for electing a murdering kidnapper we are racists. Face it Frankie, you are being a hypocrite.

I don't care how expensive groceries are, when a country willingly elects a real life criminal (not a bumper sticker criminal like Bush) then they are subject to ridicule from the rest of the world.

Just so ya don't think your punt went unappreciated.

My uncle is actually from Iran. He left right before the overthrow to come study architectual engineering in the states. His family was really close to the Shaw apparently, so he was never allowed back to Iran (though I do not think he wanted to return, other than when his father died). He is extrememly intelligent and speaks 4 languages I believe, and before retiring had one of the bigger architectual firms in Denver. Before you ask, he hates the Donkeys and loves the Chiefs... kind of odd, but that is the case. His kids love the Chiefs too and all are extremely bright. One was magna cum laude at pepperdine and works for some huge bank. Needless to say, they are the rich relatives.

First of all, America has been a country for longer than 150 years. I mean, for real? Less than 150 years?

Secondly, we didn't just arrive as barbarians, we're an off-shoot of Britain, where Britons lived as early as the 4th century BC.

And here again, you show yourself a dumbass. "stereotyping" is not on the same page as racism. Never have I said anything about the race of people, but the nations, customs and listed specific groups, govt, and linked terrorist acts for which I've drawn my conclusions.

It has nothing to do with the color of skin, it has everything to do with so many Iranians acting like assholes the past 30+ years of my life, including those sending shape charges and EFPs into Iraq to kill American soldiers. I have never seen you denounce those actions.

Have you just returned from Iran? If so, please enlighten us with your personal experiences there.

Big deal? We created porn & being fat.

No but I make it a point not to insult someone's culture and sure as hell defend mine from any ignorant verbal rape. This thread was supposed to be a cute bit of information that actually surprised me. But the usual CP ape(s) couldn't pass up the chance to throw poop at it.

That's Farsical to you sir.

I say damn close to 100%. I mean that of the regular Joes there, I'm not discussing the authorities.

You have a point here, but rather a weak one. My cry of racism was not toward you but to those who think that other people are inferrior to them because they might wash their anal holes instead of wiping it.

As for the election, when you are only allowed a small group of filtered candidates you "elect" the one who is a relative unknown who is promising economical reforms, and whose name is not Rafsanjani. As for him being a murdering kidnapper, I don't know if he is, because, just like you I have not seen any proof of that allegation.

Really. Have you recently returned from a trip to Iran? Please enlighten us on your recent, vast personal experience in the country.

I can't believe you bit on that.

No I haven't. But I grew up with Iranians, have a vast number of Iranian friends both there and in the U.S. who I'm in contact with. I have close friends and relatives that are frequently traveling back and forth and there are Iranian books, literature and magazines that I still enjoy.

Try again.

Why because I'm a dumb foreigner? ;) :evil:

So, and perhaps you've answered this question before, but what have the Iranian people contributed to global society in the last 500 years?

You're not a dumbass because you're a foreigner.

I'm guessing its genetic, the result of an accident, possibly a fall from an elevated position onto the soft spot on your cranium, or exposure to harmful chemicals during conception.


Allow me to help, Donger...They DID kidnap some British sailors in international waters, and their president denied the extermination of millions of Jews....and then there was that whole, Pesky "nuke Israel off the map" thing...

I'm actually curious. Every time Iranian contributions to society are mentioned, it's always 2300 BCE, for example.

What have the Greeks....? Yet I don't see Iowanian and the like insult them nor you pose the same question.

But anyway, my post #6 is just a sample answer to your question.

Get back to me the next time a Greek routinely bombards the board with "hey look, we invented pita bread" almost as often as a greek terrorist group funded by Athen...oh. Colleges are big fans of "the greek system"....

Then there is that tiny event that happens every 4 years, including this summer in China called....the Olympics......
and grecco roman wrestling, the hypocrattic oath every American doctor recites, Corinthian architecture, Plato, Aristotle, Mythology, fables, theater...all of which provide entertainment to Americans every day.

I ate a shredded beef Gyro the other day.


Its not like the Greeks don't have some smack coming. I lived in a dorm with 2 of them...they were fat, smelly and the butt of many, many jokes. I think Greeks are known for doubling up on other dudes almost as much as persian men. I think all of those wars between the two were really about sexual tension.

Frankie, I'm very dissappointed in you. You have completely turned this thread political.

more like a pissing contest... my goat/camel/dog etc is better for humpin' than yours

The ancient Greeks were the creators of more than one form of govt...including democracy.


how is this for appropriate.

"beware the Ides of March"

I take it that is the equivalent of answering, "Not too much"?

:drool:

I just looked it up. There have been two Iranian-born Nobel Prize winners, and one of them was a Brit.

304 American winners.

The fun part is watching Iowanian beat Frankie's brains in while Frankie calls him stupid.

Hey Frankie, you remember that one time when you thought to yourself "You know, I bet ChiefsPlanet would really dig some news about a cool archeological find about Iranian animation, thousands of years ago?" How did that ever turn out?

Greece was never a target of Bush/Cheney saber rattling with the blind support of uninformed idiots like you. I do this BECAUSE of idiots like you and not to spite you. Not only do I worry about the innocents there (including folks I know) but I do my part to point out the idiocy that led to the Iraq bloody mess (with the support of idiots like you) and that a worse mess than even Iraq is not benefitial to us. I know this stuff transcends the boundaries of you comprehension, but there is a majority of open minded posters here who may be interested and might benefit from my little attempts to humanize the people you hold in violent contempt. And before you throw this terrorist accusation, show me one Iranian terrorist,... ever. Better yet, Iranian-Americans are one of the largest "foreign" groups in America. Have you ever heard of any significant Iranian Mafia? Why is that? That speaks to the cultural level of those people. Doesn't it?

All of this is the Greeks' contribution in the LAST 500 YEARS? Again, my friend , your cerebral limitations let you down. Donger's question was about the last 500 years. But if you want to get a little history education let me try to simplify it. You talk about Democracy but know nothing of this:
http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/08/16/...-human-rights/.
And while you are at it you might want to check out on whose scientists, philosophers and literature pretty much saved humanity from devolving while Europe was festering in the dark ages and Europeans died in hordes from deseases attributed to dumping their shit in their streets and streams. They call them Islamic Scientists, but guess where most of that was happening.


OMG, now I get it! Your rage is because you've been abused by some Iranian men.

Shut up dude. ;)You opened the cage door and let the ape(s) come out..

Did you read post 6? Let that be a start and go googling.

Examples please.

Yes, I saw that. It lists many Iranian scholars. But, what have they accomplished?

No Novel Prizes, as far as I can tell.

So, again, what have the Iranians done to contribute to world society recently?

Oh, it goes on here in America even today. There were a few cases recently. It's even in our early history with the Pilgrims. You can tell a lot about a people by the amount of and type of laws they have. The Puritans had hundreds of laws for such a simple settlement. But if you look at the case load from then they had trouble with bestiality, incest, babies conceived out of wedlock and adultery. In fact a 14 year old boy was hung for doing it with five animals including a turkey.

http://www.break.com/index/ken-lee.html :shrug:

You're right Flunky...I have been abused by a couple of Iranian Men. I unknowingly got into their filthy, stinking cabs and my orafactory senses were severely assaulted. It was worse than huffing skunk ass blast might be.


Your concern for the innocents of Iraq is noble.....I wonder if you've seen the monument to the war with Iran that lasted nearly a decade, where the Iranians lobbed chemical warheads into Iraq with wreckless abandoned.

Oh, well isnt that special!

What do you want from me? Anger, hate, a diatribe? :cuss:

Or did you want to hurt my feelings and pad your CP cred? :(

I will appease you my masterful american overlord:

"OH NOESSSSSSSSSS HE MADEZ FUN OV MY FAMELY! IT HERTZ SOO BAD!! I IZ SO SAD NOWE I THINK I WILL CRI!! WAHH WAHH WAHH!!"

signed,
boy related to a foreigner who has 'browner' skin than you


As for Greeks and inventing democracy; I just thought I would add that Plato saw it as one of the weakest forms of government. Which is true, it is a rather pathetic limp dick of a governement, but oh well.

This thread's like a big "kick me" sign.

I am getting confused on why any of this shit matters? Iranians or Americans, a person is a ****ing person. But I forget, we must WIN! Winning is all that matters. GO AMERICA, were up 304 to 2!!!! YAYZ!! Same goes for the other 'team' though, who gives a shit if 'they' made the first animation? It wasnt even actual Iranians, it was their ancestors, of which a great majority are our ancestors. It isnt like the same god damn tribes have always lived there. By that logic we should keep score on all things the indians did before we got here, since we now live on the same land they once did, obviously what the accomplished in the past should be considered an accomplishment for us in the present!

While I understand that everyone in Iran isn't as ****ing untarded as their fearless leader I also think it's important to note that we don't have a card-carrying KKK member in the white house either.

This nation has supported terrorists that killed our enemies. We've tried to assassinate leaders and political figures. Our government is not innocent.

On the other hand, even during the cold war, I can't remember a president stating that we need to whipe someone off the map. That we should do so.

The opinions of the people in a nation are completely irrelevant if they aren't willing to
force their government to mirror them...

Futuristic Papyrus? No........

Being a successful and "one of the most educated" communities in the U.S. is not an achievement for you? You have to research this yourself. How about reading on Omid Kordestan, Senior Vice President of Google's Global Sales and Business Development. Or how about this guy?: http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/omi0bio-1
Or how about this gal?: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/m...larehzadeh.xml
Or how about this dude?: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2005-033
Or how about this woman?: http://www.apbspeakers.com/themes/de...oundation.aspx

These are only a few cases that come to mind immediately. You need to research it yourself if you are truly interested in an answer to your question.

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL
That was on your planet. On ours it was Saddam's chemical weapons provided by us, the U.S., with full knowledge of his intentions that were used against Iranian troops and border villages. You really have to quit listening to the voices in your head.

How so? I'm doing pretty well and enjoying exposing the Neanderthal(s). This is kinda fun.

You had to go and pull the ****ing IT card, didn't you?

Like it's not bad enough the Chinese and Japanese are building all our $#it you had to go and remind us that we're also paying the ME to program and maintain it for us...

Watch yourself, racist. Recent evidence points to Neanderthals being either every bit or very close to our own intelligence...

As a nationalist the bolded part made my eye twitch...

Thank you. Now back to the original thread which was merely an interesting tidbit of information posted as such. The "Iranian" part was merely a tongue in cheek attempt at silliness since everyone here knows I'm an Iranian American. Some folks here need to get a life.

Did you move from there to here or are you as Iranian as I am German?

Meaning you're an American with ancestors from somewhere else.

You keep your cartoons. My Krauts will continue to kick your a$$3$ in cup play...:)

Born there. Moved here after HS. Really I look at it as a lucky situation and a gift from life. I can pick the best values of both cultures; toss the worst and enjoy jokes, literature, music, food, traditions etc. equally from two different countries. Makes for double the enjoyment of life. That's a gift I have always underlined for my son who was born here to Iranian born parents. Whereas I consider myself 50-50 Iranian-American culturally he is perhaps 30-70. His (future) kids will be 100% American, I guess. It's a fascinating process to observe, really. But then I'm easily fascinated.

Geez, lighten up. Just because you have ties to terrorists organizations doesn't mean your a bad person. Look at Obama, people seem to like him.

Those are Americans, are they not?

Not by birth or upbringing.

I asked you about Iranians, not Americans of Iranian origin. I'm well aware of what this country offers to those blessed enough to become American.

So, again, what have Iranians living in Iran done for the world over the last 500+ years?

I'm doing some math here. Did you help the Shah load his solid gold toilet on the plane?

So you are disqualifying Iranians who assert themselves when given a chance. That's not a tribute to their culture? When political climate inhibits their ability to make a difference they are scum of the earth. I get it.

No, I'm saying that Americans of many national origins have contributed much to society.

What have Iranians contributed recently? How far back does your excuse of political climate inhibiting their ability to make a difference go back?

I came here before the Shah was deposed. But he had many gold things, but i doubt he had gold toilets. That's actually a Saudi concept. Do your homework my man. :)

You type really good English for being Iranian!

It's in the blood you know. After all I'm Iranian (born)! ;):D:evil::)

(Do I have enough emoticons there for some on this bb to know I'm being silly?)

We seem to be in a circle here. Hopefully we'll get a chance to discuss this face to face. Right now I don't exactly know what you want.

It's quite simple: Americans of Iranian birth aren't Iranians.

You and I have disagreed on this notion before. So let's not go there again. All I say is a light doesn't come on in their heads the minute they get their certificate of citizenship here. They don't instantly get smarter or more talented or less lazy.

Don't waste logic on that dumbass, donger.

Indeed. It seems the smart ones leave and come here.

Don't worry Iowanian. I'm sure there are pretty good Rectal Surgeons in Iowa City who can fix that burning sensation.

:banghead:

I found this on Live Leak.

Iranian toilet.

Hey, it's the America's-been-a-country-for-less-than-150-years guy.

I am a terrorist. I dont believe in God though... so I dont feel the need to bomb and blow shit up over stupid shit really, but hey that doesnt make a terrorist, that can be found in rednecks too. I need to make a venn diagram.

i just reported you to homeland security. they should be by to pick you up within the next ten years.

Sweet man! Thanks! I didnt want to pay back my student loans anyhow.

you should have them paid up by the time they find ya.

Ahh don’t worry they will work it out of it during your stint at <ST1:p<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Guantanamo</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Bay</st1:PlaceType></ST1:p

No, I think I have longer than 10 years, so if that is the case, then I will just hold off on them for a while. Besides, isnt Obama going to win? Dont you guys think he is a terrorist or something? I would just get a good job or something wouldnt I?
