File under: Govt of Iran

#1 OK, anyone else getting really tired of this rhetoric?

Reminds me of a 'little encounter' in Colorado - outside havin' a smoke and the guy, trying to impress a gal, kept talking in an obviously fake accent about how much a police state the US is. I thought, if so, he would not be stating his 'anti-government' folklore with a total stranger there next to him so I ask, "What is it which makes the US a 'facist police state' where I can ask you that question. Reply: George Bush's policies (long story short, best most coherant part of the conversation).

Besides, just yesterday we read about a sgt and his juliet having to be bundled out of Iraq because the neighbors just would not understand; never said if she was sunni or shia IIUC.

#4 What have the ~~Americans~~ Romans ever done for us?

BTW, what has modern Iran done for the world? [Other than the usual death and destruction and trying to drag it back to the 8th century]

#6 swksvolFF: That was a great opportunity!

Catching someone who is calling the US a police state can be a blast.

Start out by saying: "You! Citizen! Stop!", then demand to see their papers. If they ask why, tell them that YOU are asking the questions.

Usually they will soon start to object, so you can snap at them "Do you know that if you do not answer my questions, what can happen to you? Do you expect to be arrested, beaten, tortured, and shot in the head in a basement for speaking out against your nation?, CITIZEN!"

"Of course not. I am NOT a secret policeman, and this is NOT a police state. But you *ARE* a dumbass! Enjoy freedom while you've got it, you stupid SOB!"

#8 Y'know, maybe it's not such a bad idea. We can spend a year or two developing some "clean" nukes - 50 or 60 thousand of them - and just wipe out all the cities of the Earth with them, killing the majority of their population at the same time. Then we can start all over and maybe end up with some SANE inhabitants, especially in the Muddled East.
