Spaced Lion: All political bullshiat aside, that piece on Middle-eastern plate tectonics and geography was fascinating reading.

I know, right?

If only India would quit forcing itself on Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan, the region would be a lot less seismic! ;)

I was considering saying something but then I read your profile and saw that you're a card carrying troll.  That takes all the fun out of it.   :(     You should be more covert.


Louisiana, Arkansas's power bottom.

I'm not even sure what that means but if you would like to insult my home state, you're going to have to come up with something for So Cal  (bonus info:  I've never even seen a sitar in person)



How can you seriously be from So Cal and not know what a power bottom is?

I take it from the headline that Subby was in Iran then.

Stimied in a Rut: Half Right: That's not nice, subby. A majority of Iranians don't at all support the regime, and like many aspects of Western culture. It's not entirely their fault that their leadership sucks.

/More importantly, Persian women are hot.

I agree with all of this and also all the Iranian people I've met have been wonderful, friendly and insanely smart people. Sometimes people's worldviews are terrible because they are just ignorant.



Can't really be said enough.  And subby's a jerk.
 
  2013-04-09 01:16:01 PM
ginandbacon: The fact that this headline got greened justifies some real soul-searching on this site.

And yet it won't.  Because some largely terrible people occasionally make a mildly funny joke.

Hey, a new stupidhead conspiracy theory. Where are they conducting those stealth shuttle launches again? Because, kind of hard to hide that exhaust trail. Also, too, are all those shuttles now on permanent museum display mockups?

Parmenius: That said, nobody deserves to have an earthquake wished upon them, even by the most trolltastic asshole.

I'm not sure.

If we could get an earthquake that ~just~ affected Fred Phelps, I think most of FARK would be ok with that.

I sure don't know where they're launching from, that's why I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere.  They're stealth, by definition you can't detect them.  I don't think the display shuttles are mock-ups, but it's pretty obvious that more shuttles were constructed than NASA officially lists as existing.  These nameless extra ships still exist, and will be used to regularly boost military satellites to orbit, as well as resupplying the cloaked reptilian battle platforms orbiting the earth above all major developed nations.

Actually, they are kinda White. Even the name "Iran" comes from "Aryana". Heck, most of 'em aren't even swarthy. They's just like you and me!

Much of the Iranian youth is very west-friendly and hates the theocratic establishment.

elleeffe: elleeffe: Kevin72: elleeffe: Shat my pants... pretty much.
In the office in Doha, Qatar - conveniently located on the opposite side of the arabian gulf..
everything starts to shake - we immediately evacuate the building [i work in an oil company, so we take evacuations pretty seriously, even when they are drills]
can't go back to fetch car keys, wallet, phone - the building needs to be assessed for damages.
and then, the security guards tell us to vacate the area [straight on the sea, lovely view] and to reach a high point as soon as possible due to a potential Tzunami alert..
it sucks people - managed to get home now, thank goodness one of the few 'higher points' in a completely deserted and flat land, and I am pretty shook up.
i hope everyone in Qatar is safe...

Do you go to work in a swimsuit? Do pants in Qatar be forbidden to have pockets? How in the tarnation can you not have your keys, wallet, and cellphone in your pockets at work?

tight dress = no pocket
sowwy

oh and when i wrote pants, i meant pants, not trousers!


Oopsie. How dare I presume yiu to be male. My image of that part of the world did not enable me to imagine a female at work there. Congrats!

/Reminds me of 1975 visiting the University of Michigan and a student working there had a button on saying "how dare you presume I'm heterosexual". I had never even heard of being "openly gay" before that.

mbillips: sethen320: DamnYankees: Go fark yourself, Subby. Iranians are people.

Yes but I believe subby was referring to the fact that they are brown.

This is the most tiresome trope on the Internet. Most "brown" people are that color because they live in sunny, hot climates and get a tan. Most Iranians are no more "brown" than Italians or Spaniards. Same goes for Arabs.


Italians and Spaniards aren't white anyway. I consider them brown as well.

I don't understand why the Iranians insist on developing nuclear energy.   Did they not learn anything from the earthquake at Fukushima?  Nuclear power plants and earthquake-prone fault zones don't mix.  People can be their own worst enemy.
