Persian ... Iranian .... Im Proud To Be

[p3rsian]

I'm proud to say: "I'm Iranian!


No, I am not a terrorist,

nor a wife beater.

I don't live in a tent or in a desert.


I speak Farsi, not Arabic.

Iran is pronounced "EEEEE-RAUN" and not

"I - ran" (it's not track & field) .


News flash:

Iran and Iraq are two different countries ,


the Middle east is a region and NOT a continent,


And camels are not our way of transportation.


Belly dancers are NOT strippers and it is an arabic dance, it never came from Iran.


Each time you play a game of chess to improve your intellect, keep in mind that it was Persians who gave you your game.


Iranian women are
just as outspoken,
just as intelligent,
just as beautiful,
just as liberal,
and just as fun
as the European women.


What the hell is "soccer"? We also call it Football.


Iran is the first country on earth to have a lion (male) and a sun (female) for it's symbol; and the colors red, white, and green for a flag,


a sleeping beauty anxious to awake and show herself to the world.


And although asleep still the best of the Middle East.


Allow me to introduce myself:


I'M IRANIAN AND MY LAND IS IRAN! IRAN VATANEMAS!

Good for you, now go back there. You got one more day to fly back with that guy. I hope for Iran's sake that it actually happens, but part of me is looking at it like a potential Children's Crusade. A lot of noise, and a failed trip.

That's a little uncalled for. Why can't he be proud of his heritage? It's not like he was saying he supports the current government of Iran . . . just saying he's proud to be Iranian . . . gee, kinda like saying you're proud to be American, but not supporting the current people in government.

If you love it so much... get the hell out of here.. good riddance... one less asswipe to deal with...

what the **** !

[Grafalgar]

Wow. Thinking some people need a vacation

Anyway, good for you p3rsian. If it's one thing I've learned it's to be proud of your history, where you came from, and what defines you.

<-- Happy South African

Are you posting some mass-forwarded email off of some Iranian listserv? The formatting just makes it seem like all of those "keep scrolling down for the great message!.....now send this to seven other idiots you know!"

no it was on some other forum

It reminds me of the annoying Irish one I get every year around St. Patty's day (if there's Irish in my lineage, it's pretty slim). I know it's just trying to disprove stereotypes, but when you're already educated enough to realize those are just silly stereotypes, it's way more fun to just make jokes instead.

....which is why whenever I see some Asian guy's picture, I always say he looks like ShawnLee. Shawn's good people, though...he knows I'm joking.

I'm not knocking him, for once. I'm just saying that this thread, in conjunction with the other one, makes it sound like he wants to go back and be part of the revolution to turn over the revolution. Really. No, really!

But do I really?

i know p3rsian hasn't made many friends on the forums with his attitude, but people who like to yell "go back where you came from" make me sick. are you completely ashamed of your heritage tupac, that you feel no need to celebrate it? anyone middle-eastern has to handle some pretty narrow minded stereotypes right now, so people who stand up to it and show pride instead of shame should be applauded! i'm half vietnamese, and my mother was born in the north (communist half during the war)... does that mean i should never mention anything about the viet culture cuz it's now a communist country? should i "get the hell out of here" because i believe that despite it's current mess of corruption that there's still good things that came from vietnam?

ever gone to another country? americans aren't very well liked! but does that mean you should walk around ashamed for being an american?

btw, maybe you're too busy being an asswipe yourself, but notice, p3rsian didn't attack you or your country (i assume you're american, but correct me if i'm wrong) in his post... he just expressed a bit of pride over his heritage.

[xsiled2]

its past heritage when he starts with the my land crap.

Sorry, I have to agree with Tupac here... All P3rsian does is complain about America and say how much he hates this ****ing place and can't wait to leave. He comes here, takes advantage of our educational and employment systems and then plans on leaving. Add to that being a self-centered egotistical ass, and ya, I'd have to agree with Tupac.

[Cantacuzene]

YEah but Iranians worshipped fire for like 1,000 years. How smart could they have been.

[nickel]

i think he is a pot stirrer.

just curious, p3rsian are you moving back to "EEEEE-RAUN" after you are finished with college here?

[Jcranmer]

Good grief people! What is with all the hate for this guy??

P3sian doesn't seem to be able to post anything without damn near everone ripping his head off.

Use the search button, searching for p3rsian's post. You will see where all the animosity comes from. he only has approx. 300 posts. I would say look at the ones with a large post count (more than likely flamewars) and you can see why.

because in addition to being a self-centered, materialistic ass who is willing to lie to other people just to make a buck he does stupid **** like this

[Yossarian]

then block him. hit the ignore button. it's suddenly become very popular to hate p3rsian, and it seems like he can't even make the most mundane post w/o being attacked.

i know he makes some very bad posts, and i don't care much for him myself, but screaming insults back and forth isn't exactly going to make him go away, as he's still here after some very lengthy flaming. so why get your knickers in a twist over him?

here, try this

Persian....Iranian....I'm Proud To Be

Really... because we couldn't tell that from your sig and your constant reminders? There's not a thing wrong with being patriotic but it's not kind to shove our noses in it.

it's suddenly become very popular to hate p3rsian,

Heh, for the record... I've been bashing persian since way before it was popular.

I meant handle (your sn)

[eSDee]

I thought it was a nice post. I know quite a few Iranians and they are pleasant, proud people. It's always a good thing when we can experience a different culture.

That said, p3rsian is a douchebag. But he's getting better.

Follower!

I Bashed on him before everyone, take it bitches!

[ialsohaveadream]

I have yet to be offended by P3rsian. I was just commenting on how much I hate those cutesy little "be proud of yourself" mass-forwarded emails, and his post reminded me of those.

It doesn't bother me when he calls Americans fat, or writes about how much he misses his country. Everyone gets homesick. If DF writes about how he misses FL, people don't get all over him.

If anything his posts may be a bit "different" at times, but I have yet to see anything that has really annoyed me. I AM however having a hard time watching everyone rip him a new one for posting damn near anything.

If you do find his posts "different", please at least try to remember that he is from another culture. Can you even imagine how different things must be in America compared to IRAN?

Finally if you really can't stand him, please either don't read his posts or use the ignore option, some of us (me at least) are sick of reading the flames by other members everytime he posts.

Frankly hardly anything ever bothers me on this board, but this is really starting to get out of hand. To quote Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along!?"
