seriously people, do you not realize he's a trolling alt?

Really? I don't see it. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable member of FARK to me.

Thanks for your support.

BINGO!! Conservative media my ass. Have you ever watched any of the big 4 news broadcasts?

What year do you live in? There is more to media than 4 news broadcasts.

rastjr: Were you the guy that asked for something I know about the Iranian people and I did?

You said they are Persian, not Arab. Congrats, you finally said something true. Beyond that though, you know nothing about the people. Your Weeners about how they hate the US more than Ahmadinejad was flatly false, and you ought to admit you made that up. Just being a college grad and having professors that traveled the world (congrats, all of us have) doesn't make you any more worldly than a hermit.

That wasn't actually a compliment. Seriously, if you aren't a troll (and that's a big IF), you have to provide actual data and sources to back your claims. Your answers, thus far, have been sanctimonious and vague proclamations of truth, none of which you have been able or willing to verify as true when asked.

Fark is a great place for conversations, even when they get snarky. Having the conversation is important, but at some point there has to be substance behind it.

/still thinks it matters where you are from before you tell people not in your situation what they can and cannot have to defend themselves.

In an earlier post I mentioned EU-Iran relations. Now here's a proof (new window) that they just love us. Still, they've freed three people (new window) who worked in the British embassy.

Did you guys see this:

Iran blocks opposition party newspaper?

Also - I haven't watched FOX since the Farrah/MJ brouhaha - has Shepard Smith continued his good coverage of the situation in Iran?

Everything I know about persia, I learned from Ubisoft (new window) and 300.

so in basically this is a glorified twitter message, not a news article. yay for journalistic integrity!

Kinda par for the course in these threads.

Yay for state-run media!

So I answered a question but it still isn't good enough for you. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about. I'll find some other people who like to discuss issues.

rastjr: I'm not a trolling alt.

Way to welcome the new guy. Do you throw a flaming bag of shi! on your neighbors porch too?

It's hard to keep my spirits up around here. Everyone is so concerned with labels.

Man up, this is Fark. If you can't take it, go back to lurking.

liam76: So if Bush came out in direct contradiction of the constitution and declared martial law after McCain lost, said he was going to keep the presidency, told the military to enforce his will, and then fired the head Joint Chiefs of Staff when he wouldn't listen to him. Would you call it a coup if the military listened to congress, and the supreme court and kicked the president out?

Yes.

You impeach a president, you don't have the military and supreme court "kick him out."

Fireproof: yogaFLAME: The more you tighten your grip, Khamenei..

That'd be the joke.

If it wansn't a compliment than by that logic everyone on Fark is a troll. That can't be true. It seems like most of you are pretty cool guys. guys that I could be friends with.

I can take it man. I'm tough. My mom always said "when you get knocked down, get up"

Tatsuma: bookman: Thanks, Obama!

While people who want to discuss Honduras can go to the appropriate thread and people who truly blame can go to Free Republic, trolls can go fark themselves.
What's all this talk about Honduras? Sounds interesting, can you fill me in Tatsuma? Please keep it under 500 words and sort it chronologically in point form. M'kay? That'd be great, thanks.

I think I agree with RodneyToady's post from 2009-06-30 11:44:11 PM in this thread.

I love the list of supportive nations. It's like a who's who of human rights violations and oppressive regimes.

I'm surprised people are claiming the revolution is over. History shows us these things take time, especially when driven by the people as opposed to the military. This is far from done, and the regime is scared as shown by the rumors of executions.

/Oh the wearin' of the green.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, granny's beating off the rustlers. Late as ususal....

Any news about/from PK and CFI?

I'm not thoroughly convinced that all of those nations gave their support. But, I believe a few of them did.

Hey Tats - where the iranian employees of the British Embassy arrested AT the embassy, or...?

Witchydiva:

*sigh* I'm afraid I have to agree, too.

Take heed folks. rastajr is showing you all how it's done. He got some fairly intelligent folks to bite. Then when he had them in a lather, he purposefully tried to be a tad more obnoxious in what I think was a "here I am, a troll" style. People continued to bite.

Good stuff. One of the better I've seen.

I just wonder how many Fark logins he's gone through to reach this point. There's a familiar ring in the style even if it is now polished.

/clap

Witchydiva: Hey Tats - where the iranian employees of the British Embassy arrested AT the embassy, or...?

If they were, the Britons wouldn't be so "easygoing". I believe they were arrested on their way to/ from there, on Iranian soil. I'm not 100% certain, though.

Oops rastjr I meant.

CountDeMoney: Meanwhile back at the ranch, granny's beating off the rustlers. Late as ususal....

CFI seems okay, nothing on PK. NR is also still MIA, I think.

Thats what I figured, but couldn't find a reference in any stories.

Yeah, it's pretty much the who's who club of bullshiat countries.

Perhaps I've forgotten, but what about SA?

All I know about Persia I learned from "I Dream of Jeannie"

Interesting... Facebook pages for Mousavi and his wife call for national strike in Iran (new window).

And, LOL

@oxfordgirl Jerusalem Post claiming 6 protesters have been executed. paper not one I would trust always #iranelection @#iran @#iranelections

- The Jerusalem Post reports that at least 6 Mousavi supporters who had been arrested by security forces were hanged, and that others are being tried and risk the same fate. The Revolutionary Guard has announced the creation of a new unit, specialized in fighting organized crimes on the internet, including espionage, social corruption, and anti-Government subversive activities, as reported by the IRNA.


I'm sorry, but you cannot have "elections" if supporters of one side are murdered. Not yours.

My deepest sympathies to the Iranian people. Your protests showed how strong you are and how badly you want a say in governing your country.

May your strength and will provide the way to a truly free Iran. And may those brave men and women who gave their lives to the cause be honored.

Witchydiva: rastjr:
Your being emotional about. Trust me.

rastjr 2009-06-24 14:14:38 - what made you create that account a week ago today? Just curious.

What was that really annoying guy in the first Iran threads? LOL something?

malachesque:

No need to be sorry. Honestly I have always cast a wary eye towards the Red Cross and the Dean Healy debacle back a few years ago kinda solidified things for me. I thought maybe there would be a glimmer of hope as I have seen some reform from them of late... But I guess it is business and politics with the Red Cross as usual.

On the whole the RC does more good than harm but they have some serious organizational problems that obviously aren't going to be fixed maybe in my lifetime.

You tried and obviously lots of people appreciated it. It looks like you will keep trying other routes so good on you.

Just checkinging iran.whyweprotest.net and get a server down message..Just me or is the government behind it..

Tatsuma: Please, Farker T, tell us again how Bernard-Henri Levy isn't French since he's Jewish, and how he is stabbing France in the back.

Reserve your words for your own mouth, Tatsuma.

I posted and article yesterday (pops) that showed very clearly where Bernard-Henri Levy's HEART is, and it isn't in France.

IMO, you both share the SAME agenda, and your "concern" for Iran is limited to how it can serve your mutual Zionist goals.

Have a nice day.

Lagaidh: Oops rastjr I meant.

Oh, he'll be that, too, eventually.

gulogulo: And you are assuming all 20,000 that die from gunshot wounds are "innocent." Granted, some may be, but I'd be willing to be many are involved in criminal activities when shot.

And to your question, yes, self-defense it is entirely worth it.

Revolution is inherently a criminal activity. But I don't disagree with you - an armed Iranian populace would be guaranteed a different outcome in their pursuit of self-defense against tyranny. So yeah, it's worth it.

You said that he wasn't French due to where you think his loyalty lies.

I feel honored that you put me and BHL as having the same agenda, as the man is a world-class intellectual. I feel much better about sharing the same agenda as him, as I would with David Duke, were I in your shoes.

ahmadinejad: So, on the one hand, we tell everyone the CIA killed Neda?
khomeini: Right
ahmadinejad: And, on the other hand, we execute Protestors?
khomeini: Right
ahmadinejad: Works for me!
khomeini: Yeah, I figured.
