*** Wear Green or black. No flags!! Signs only. ***


Background:
13 of Aban-November 4th, is the anniversary of the take-over of US Embassy in Iran. Every year the government of Iran marks this day by taking to the streets of Iran, burning US flags along with the flags of other nations it views as its enemies. This year the Green Movement has decided to use this date in the opposite direction, to call for all Iranians both inside and outside Iran to come to the streets and announce this day as a day of friendship and solidarity amongst all people and the end of hostilities with other nations.
United4Iran Southern California, in support of such a call will use this day to let the world know that the struggle for democracy and human rights is alive in Iran and that the people of Iran will use every means at their disposal to take back what is rightly theirs. We ask you to show your support by wearing green on November 4th and joining us outside the CNN Building from 5-7pm. Let us make 13 Abaan, November 4th a Green Day of Peace & Solidarity throughout the world.
  Wednesday, November 4, 2009 *** Time:  5:00pm - 7:00pm *** Location: In front of CNN Building *** Street: 6430 W. Sunset Blvd.  Los Angeles, CA * * *

Thank you so much. You are always  very nice to me.

I don't know which comment of JJ's you are talking about. I don't read so many thing here. Actually I think, I'm already spending too much time here, giving my other priorities.

But overall, I came to the same result as yours, reagrdig "who is who" and what is "really" going on here behind the beneath ;)

I too, want to stay our of all this.

Long live with the ignorance!

They say: Ignorance is a bless! and in this site, I would rather to stay an ignorant......I don't know if I would like the turth.

About JJ's comment: I really  don;t know nothing. But I can say, i like him very much :0)

Lies and more lies.

You should seriously be ashamed of yourself. You are a disgrace to all americans and what their culture stands for.

This would not have happened if you had kept your mouth shut and refrain from making comments about me to ID and other inquiries.

I don't understand why JJ doesn't close this blog? He should do it last night already.

He's enjoying this blog. That should be obvious by the way he came in here and deleted some comments which weren't at all offensive, while leaving some that were even threatening violence in place, Souri.

As for directing my ire at people who deserve it, after JJ's praise for regime propaganda last night, when he makes such a big show of supportuing the opposition, I no longer feel like I know who is who on this website. And that's why I'm not particpating anymore until I feel like I've got a better handle on what is really going on here. I've only been commenting in this thread because KS decided he wanted to keep stirring things up here.

However, I'll honor your request and not comment here any more either :)

Your rediculous comment of YO MAMA DOES NOT LIKE ME WITH A CANE, was so outrageus that one must be so outta his or her mind to not be ready for whatever that is going to come to him as a form of retaliation. I do not beleive your most dumb and insane justification of using YO MAMA in a line as a normal and routine event in America. That is such an insane, pathetic thing to say,

You Liar. I called YOU a redneck and I NEVER NEVER NOT EVER called the whole marine a bunch of mass murderers. Shame shame shame on you for LIES AND EXAGGERATIONS.

 

 

Yo momma" jokes are pretty routine in American culture. And I can't change the fact that I'm American! I don't understand why KS started calling me a racist after that... makes no sense whatsover.

Thank you for your concern. Obviously someone does not want to accept the blame here and keeps on foot-dragging and points to others and Justifies such nonsense on the basis of ; well, what do you want me to do? I can't do anything about the fact that i am american!

As god is my witness, This mess was not initiated by me. Had my name not Beenbrought up behnid MY BACK, and comments made about me , at the beginning of this thread. He think he can rant and rave and then justify it and by accusing others, whitewashing everything. I am sorry but i Do not fall for that shennanigan. he can try his luck with someone else.

Thank you ladies for your wise comments:)

The two remind me of Shaq and Kobe Bryant. They also reminds me of Ebay bidding war, only 2 bidders left. They also remind of electrons and protons 'cause they are revolved around each other.

Peace out! 

Best wishes!!!! Both of them are smart and tenacious!!! I respect them!!!

baba, goftam stop it please :)

by Souri on

Please please!

Stop it now.

I've been disgusted of all those conflicts and bad form debates, lately.

I said I will be leaving the site.

Now, it is so much disappointing to see you two, arguing over petty subjects like the little boys!!

Go to some other debates and confront people who deserve your anger please! 

You are wasting your productive energy here, over nothing.....

And belive it, you are making some other people, very happy!

Stop fighting each other. Know to identify your adversaire and your fight, please.

EPC: No, I'm not telling  you  what you should do or not to do. You called Kourosh's comment "offensive" and I explained to you that he said that, because of your "offensive" joke.

Now, would you two stop it please? 

I don't understand why JJ doesn't close this blog? He should do it last night already.

Are you seriously saying I should be required to set aside American culture in order not to offend people from other cultures? In America? You know, I don't deliberately set out to offend people, but if somebody is going to make malicious comments to me the very last thing I care about is whether or not my replies conform to the cultural norms of another country.

Saying something offensive is a normal in american culture? Just because it is common and routine , that makes it routine? Wow. Where did you learn your values?

On the other hand, for a young person to imply somebody older than them is an invalid due to their age is eggregiously offensive in American culture. It just isn't done. And that's what I sent him the "yo momma" joke in reply to. I thought it was a pretty tame response. I'm sorry you disagree.

You have no idea how old i am and it is time to stop making your stupid and rediculous surmises. You do not qualify to say what is and what is not "eggregiously offensive" in this culture. Once again your arrogance and Pride is clouding your judgment.

.

 

I doubt KS could go into any bar or nightclub in America and say things like that about the Marine Corp and walk out again on his own two feet. The US Marine Corp is part of American mythology. I seriously doubt he could even make such comments about the Air Force without having a major problem on his hands.

 Why would i want to go to a club and say those things ulness someone as violent and as bully as you would want to provoke me?

However, I didn't take him up on that one. If he wants to dig his own grave, who am I to stop him?

What is it you are afraid of ? Go ahead. Take me up on it. let me see what you got.

And i doubt if you could enter in an Iranian community, bringing your you mama jokes, and walk out on your two feets!

Please don't go there, dear! Seriously.

You said an offensive joke, please assume your action and apologize.

Kourosh's joke about your cane, was in response to your comment about him being "too young" compared to yourself. Nothing condescending.

Also,we have been living  here long enough, to know enough things about the your mama and some other American jokes which are not always of a good taste.

I respect the fact that he served his country.

You called Marines a bunch of mass murdering ignorant rednecks. God help you if you ever find yourself recieving the same amount of respect back, from a Marine.

And by the way, are you aware "redneck" is an ethnic slur?

You're all over the place.

How is so? 

 Learn how to come up with well reasoned positions, and how to stick to them without contradicted yourself from one minute to the next.

 Learn? ha. Look who is talking about Learning. I will try not to contradict myself. I leave that Job for you.

 Arguing with you is literally like arguing with a child, and it's getting tedious. Please don't comment at me anymore until you can come up with something worth reading.

The same way i feel arguing with you. Putting your foot dowm and making noises until you are heard. Wanting to read something worth reading from someone who is used to typing up rubbish and bullishness is so How do you say? HYPOCRITICAL.

Souri jaan.

I did my best with this man to stay on civil terms, i even stood up for him  him the other day onone of those blogs. against him being bashed and insulted as being the "only american" on the thread, and the fact that he should not be talking and making comments about iran and iranians they way he did. DId i get a thank you? Hell no. Instead he kept on mocking me on every point that i made on Mr or Ms. Oktaby's comment and Went on unnecessary and boring Lenght to List his honors., which i did not need to know at all.

Now. I respect the fact that he served his country. But Given the way he talks to me and the condescending manner thathe often assumes saying " you are too young to know things " and thinking that he is always ina position to give me advice or correct me, Is so uncalled for. That is arrogance and too much pride  and i can not deal with people who exhibit such behavior.

Thank you for correcting KS on his insulting comments about the USMC, but I think even you underestimate how offensive most Americans (regardless of politics or affiliation with the military) would find those comments to be. I doubt KS could go into any bar or nightclub in America and say things like that about the Marine Corp and walk out again on his own two feet. The US Marine Corp is part of American mythology.

Souri

Gentlemen, if I may.....

by Souri on

First forgive me for the mistakes I willl do, I'm writing with a little handy which is not easy for spell checking.

I wish you two would stop this non sense.

EPC: Your previous comment to KS and your "you mama " joke were indeed offensive and completely out of line. Usually you are above this measure and have a better sense of humor. I got surprised! Maybe you don't yet know our culture very  well. This kind of joke,  about the family and relatives are very bad in our eyes. I'd react the same way as KS did, if I hear someone say bad joke in this way (and I'm a woman )

Kourosh: I don't understand why you bring the word "Marine" in every comment of yours? There's nothing condescending in being part of the Army (and Marine) 

You, on the contrary, do not have the privilege of not knowing the American culture. You must know by now, that the American are very proud of their Army. This is something which have been injected into their mind since the WWII. They see their Army (and the Marine) as the savior of the world.....and this is a general trend. They don't perceive the meaning of "Army" in the same way that it means for us , the Iranian and the middle East countries in general

Generally, we have been opressed by  our Army since the beggining of its creation. The American don't have the same vallue about their Army. While they maybe wrong, but they can't be blamed for thinkgin this way.

So, i don't think this would be appropriate to call someone names, just because they did serve in the Marine.

Anything that person says or does, could be evaluted and called under his own behavior and his own personality, regardless of "where" and "when" or "how" he has acquired that behavior.

I think, saying offensive words about the US Marine, is not something nice and can be offensive to some other readers who are serving in the Army or have their relatives serving in the Marine.

Please stay civil to each other and let us enjoying a good and intelligent debate which equal your true level of intelligence.

Thank you guys.

Do not shift the subject craig. It won't work. I do not represent this community, I am not as arrogant as you are, thinking that you represent a community i.e America.

 said that IC community would probably Like the fact that you withdrew from that PARTICULAR discussion. Making comments on a dead thread is not the same as engaging you ina discussion. Quit playing games. You are deluded.

Rest-assured The IC community would welcome the news of your withdrawal from discussion with open arms.

lol

Interesting that at the same time you take it upon yourself to state that the entire IC community does not want to engage me in discussion, you keep making comments to me in this dead thread. You aren't a member of the IC community? You are just their spokesman, eh?


default

Ah. thank god

by KouroshS on

Yeah, Good idea. You made so much noise out there anyway. You were really not making any points rather than hurling insults and accusations. Kind of like Trying to Bully yourself into the discussion. Rest-assured The IC community would welcome the news of your withdrawal from discussion with open arms.

I am loving the fact that by saying "keep on making those abusive comments, i am loving it" You are also making an abusive comment.

As for that other thread, I have nothing to say to the Q gang. If JJ doesn't opt to explain what he meant when he called that pro-IRI propaganda "balanced" then I'm out of that discussion. I already know what Q and his ilk think of the matter.

Take a chill Pill. Calm the F.. down. Relax.  You have done so much of jumping up and down on the other thread for one day. I guess you have made a habit of blaming your own bad and nasty and rude habits, on others. ha, Why am i not surprise.d

You know.  I guess Telling people "You are not too old to kick their ass" or Using "yo mama" crap, thereby insulting their familiy. All the good things that the US marine Taught you. In your Corrupt and dirty ideology does not amount to "abusive language" or "physical violence"?

You are showing the typical signs of a bully.  You bully people and then turn around and point the blaming finger towards them. And then you cry why your comments get deleted. Get a grip on yourself , You former Proud, friendly, Peace loving MARINE.

Anyone can go through these comments and see the threats of physcial violence and the abusive comments and accusations you made, you know? That's why I didn't flag any of em! Why don't you see if you can manage to at least behave like a 12 year old (rather than a 10 year old!) today, instead of advisng other people on how they should act?

I would rather have 11/04/09 be a day of bloodshed; especially the blood of those (islamic regime) bastards that took the hostages in the first place.

As an Iranian, I would find that to be a show of solidarity for the Democratic movement in Iran.
