You'd think with all of those centuries, mental genius and oil money, such a forward thinking, progressive society would have figured out a more affordable way to eat by now.


Personally, I think they had it figured out right after Algebra, but the zionist scum spies stole it to punish beautiful persian children.

Another brilliant argument. Why don't you right a book. Oh wait, you have to be able to read one first.

How many Iranians have told you about that danger? Please,.... just let Iowanian be the clueless jester here. You are smarter than that, I'm sure.

Ironic, no?:)

Actually he makes an excellent point. America has been a country for less than 150 years while Persia (and the entire mid east for that matter) dates back to the beginning of recorded time. In that short time we've grown light years ahead of everyone else. There has to be an explanation for that.

Im as patriotic as anyone here but a lot of "where we are now" is due to "importing" intelligence and people. From Russian rocket scientists to jumpstart our space program to captured German technology for the Atom bomb. <O:p></O:p>

Agreed. Yet you have to credit the system of openess we have established for making such knowledge transfer possible.
As DuckDog pointed out, there is a reason it happened here and not there.

100% agree.

Lots of Iranians carry American flags in Tehran, safely, its just that they're on fire and in the middle of Anti-American riots of thousands of people, blaming us for something we usually had very little to do with.

"Its snowing in Persia...DOWN DOWN USA!"


It doesn't really matter "how" the US has accomplished our leap to the top of the technlogy mountain, the Persian Empires were pillaging neighboring areas of wealth, resources and enslaving people for centuries before Columbus even thought of sailing the ocean blue.

Frankie will never admit his people do anything negative...We're all supposed to have a "YEAH IRAN" parade every time he looks for an achievement of those backwards peoples.

The problem with Iran is that the few rotten million spoil it for the other 11.

There's an ironic error in the above, I think.

Nobody should question the will it took by Americans to get this far this quickly. That there were lucky breaks and great timing, though real, is only a small ingredient in this big pie. That said, I resent, and so should any open minded poster here, that this makes any typical Iranian (or from any other nationality) automatically lesser than Iowanians of this world. That is racism to the core. The entire point of this argument is that people should be judged by their heritage customs and culture and not their political leadership.

I wonder, does that hold true of foreign views of Americans and George Bush?

:D

This actually is funny and original despite being such an ignorant statement.
