Adding video to channels (Animation, Politics) - requested by ant.

this would speak to my soul if i believed i had one.

This should be on CNN. Let see if we can drum up controversy over this.

Americans don't care.

Stuff like this forces them to think, and thinking is their least favorite activity.

Besides, they get a real hardon out of calling people "Islamo-fascists."

hmmm, well the vid does present quite a few inaccuracies... but one thing i do agree with is that it's clearly apparent that the bulk of iranians, most heavily represented by supporters of their current islamic republic, begin their 'timeline of problems' at 1953, and by this i mean their blame of the united states

unfortunately, for both them and us, it shouldn't begin there... there's quite a bit of prior history that truly puts both the events of 1953 and the current situation in much better context - most notably the flawed notions: that the us 'put the shah in power' ... that 'mossadegh was popularly elected' ... and that 'the soviets weren't involved through iran's communist tudeh party or tpi'

leaving for work in a few, so don't really have the time to go into it atm... but if anyone's interested, i can go into far greater detail and give excellent sources, which might increase our understanding of this very muddled account of history

You sound distressed.

Allow me to "liberate" you.

"Why do you talk like a fag?" This quote from "Idiocracy " reminds me of you. You are probably just being a POS troll, but if you came to the US , you would be arrested for being a dick. You shouldn't speak for the American people, and don't confuse the people with their government. I think a lot of us US citizens recognize the difference between the mostly young Iranian population and the evil regime that runs their country. Also, most of us can admit our government has done some shitty things in the past. Instead of pointing your superior finger at us and saying "Stuff like this forces them to think, and thinking is their least favorite activity." you should just stick that finger back in your ass before any more shit falls out. Merry Christmas.

Way to go taking offense at something that wasn't even aimed at you and is no way as offensive as you make it out to be anyway.

Um do you realize that in the movie Idiocracy it's the morons who use that line, because they can't think of an intelligent reply and instead resort to personal attacks? Ironically, that's exactly what you're doing by calling Rougy a dick, and proving him correct in the process. Hilarious!

Ho ho ho!

Must have struck a nerve. Did I remind you of you?

Most Americans are fucking idiots, and that's the sad truth of the matter.

And yes, I'm American.

Why for Ron Paul supporters, of all people? If there's anything that lot needs to be watching, it's "Lithium For Dummies".

I explained the 1953 overthrow to my friend, after reading All the Shah's Men, but he thought it was a far-fetched conspiracy theory.

Couldn't help but think of Robert Newman's History of Oil and how the history of Iran fits in to global *worldaffairs. Persia has had rough century.
