Did you guys start the Two Minute Hate without me? DAMN YOU!!!

Rock the casbah!

I've had Iranian landlords. The husband was nicer and larger of spirit than most.The wife was pretty, and usually nice, until things didn't go her way. Then she went from English contralto to Persian jet taxi.

Jesus, did every Iranian Farker wake up and jump into the thread or what? It's God vs Allah!

Giltric: Zionists Tectonic Weapon.

...would be a great name for a Jewish Drum N Bass DJ/punk band/hip hop group was my second thought.

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...

They invented these things called pockets.  Check into them....

That was a pretty trollific headline...

Hey libbo subby, have you forgotten about all of that precious, precious crude oil infrastructure.  Typical libs.  Hating oil.

UNAUTHORIZED FINGER: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!

/otherwise, good point

Forget it, even the educated liberal Farkers can't tell one brown-people country from another.

And the poor sots are packed nose-to-tail in Tehran, which makes it a very attractive target for the spaceborne earthquake ray we used to fly around on the space shut-.... huh, must be mounted on the ISS now.

Oh how cute, he thinks they stopped flying the Space Shuttle.  They did.  On NON-military missions.

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?

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.

liam76: Fun fact, if you are using self selecting samples and only looking at raw numbers you can't really make a claim about a country being the "most" anything

I'm not making scientific claims, just observing general trends and making general statements. The fact that enough respondents came in from Iran, a nation that blocks huge swathes of the Internet, to even register demonstrates a higher-than-average interest in atheism.

Iran has a strong, but quiet, atheist population. They also have a great metal scene. And when you go to someone's house, you'll be hard pressed to leave without having a glass of wine.

And yes, popular sentiment is against the government, and why wouldn't it be? The nation is run by incompetent kleptocrats. While the older population still remembers the Iran/Iraq War and may hold some loyalty, it's the post-war Iranian baby-boomers who don't. And just like the American baby-boomers of a generation before, they're a large population discovering progressivism in their 20s. Ironically, these 20-somethings are the largest threat to the government, and they exist because the government actively encouraged their parents to produce large families to replace the generation lost in revolution and hideous war.

More fun facts from Iran:
At the 30-year memorial for Khomeni, they had to ship in mourners from the hinterlands and other countries to make the memorial look good. They couldn't find enough people in Iran willing to attend. Many of them didn't even speak Farsi.

A Persian tradition is to throw coins at a coffin as it passes. At Khomeni's original funeral, people weren't throwing coins- they loved him so much they were throwing bills. The bills were wrapped in dogshiat, but hey, bills!

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.

"Nothing of value was lost"
"Hey, that's totally inappropriate. Plenty of those people LOVE the west and are totally willing to suck our freedom boner".

Yep, sure is enlightened in here.

Well, at least SOMEBODY has their priorities straight!

Sub's headline proves the rule:

Dicks get clicks.

Dick headline, Subby. Dick headline.

I am a woman! we don't do pockets... they completely ruin the dress... i'd rather walk home for hours during an emer.... wait. :P

Iranic.

Iran is like the NY Mets .  You may like the players, but boy do the guys up top really suck.

That's right subby, Iran is nothing but suicide bombers. There's no way it could be full of millions of people who just happened to born there and simply wish to live their lives.

Aw, come on Subby - it's Iran, not North Korea.

They might have an industrial infrastructure that's the envy of the mid-20th century, but it's still an industrial infrastructure.
