Iranians don't hate us. It was a small faction that did what you described, and installed the Ayatollah.

For the most part, the ACTUAL Iranian people like America and in turn like Americans. The only ones that hate us are the extremists in power; which a majority of the Iranian population don't actually support.

I've noticed this from most Iranian Americans I've met, but always wondered how much their views align with the actual Iranian citizens.

I have seen and heard much more anti-American sentiment from everyday Arabs, especially those from the Levant.

I only know what I see on Persian news networks (satellite based), or what I hear from family that lives there. They tell me most people there absolutely hate their leaders and government, but they are so oppressed that there isn't much they can do. Many live in fear.

About Arabs... coincidentally Iranians seem to really hate arabs; at least the ones that came from Iran. Like they are straight up racist against them 😂. If you are close to any Iranians who immigrated here, then chances are they won't even try to hide it from you.

It's hard to blame them for living in fear, given the punishments we have seen many dissenters get hit with.

It's why this woman walking in her underwear is a lot like "tank man" from China... someone who knew their punishment would be severe but chose to act on their beliefs anyway.

Yes, I have noticed this. 😂

I also notice that it persists with people who aren't particularly religious and do not care about the Saudi Arabia/Iran proxy war.

He's an idiot... They're basically saying "actually we're just doing a little bit of fraud, and not election interference".

I find this guy a total dbag. I could go on and on about all the illegal shit he pulls, but that's best left for another thread. I would be disgusted with him no matter which candidate he supports.

Pretty sure most people are smart enough to understand that he's intentionally trying to buy votes. What's fucked up is that I'm pretty sure our courts won't do shit to him. Even more fucked up, he has top security clearance and all kinds of government contracts. Our government should care, but I'm confident he'll be given a free pass or just a slap on the wrist

I wish the dude would go live on mars already.🤦‍♂️

This is fascinating. Snow fell in the Saudi desert, in a region that had never seen snow in recorded history:

There was a fascinating study done on weather and patterns and the earth warming and how its moved on its axis i'll try to dig up and link to ya.

The entire base of it was that the weather had changed since the time of Christ so much it was plausible that when Jesus walked on the water ,, it was a slightly frozen pond with water still on the surface.

Some people are as ugly on the inside as they are on the outside. These women need to be locked away from society.


An investigation that began in February showed that employees working in an elementary school classroom for students with special needs within the Smyrna School District would allegedly “throw objects at the students, yell at them, and call them names,” per the release.


According to police, Johnson and Donahue are accused of feeding Takis with hot sauce to a student with special needs in late 2022 knowing the child had a digestive disability.


Additionally, Lomax allegedly hit a student in the face and sprayed the victim with a water bottle as a “form of discipline,” police said. Authorities have not released further details regarding the investigation.

There is a special place in Hell for scum like this.

An one day , I hope I'm in charge of it. (y) :devilish: 💯
You know how I specifically feel about shit like this. One of the few situations where I wouldn't be upset about being thrown into an orange jumpsuit and some shower slides for a while.

Here's a crazy one. Toy company Mattell accidentally promoted a porn website on their packaging:


Toy manufacturing giant Mattel apologized over the weekend, after customers noticed a tiny inadvertent advert for a pornographic website printed on some packaging for dolls promoting the new movie Wicked, which premiered on November 3 and is rolling out in movie theaters in much of the world later this month.

"Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the US, which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page," the company said in a statement. "We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this."

Entering a URL that omits the word "Movie" takes users to a rather different, age-restricted website.

Putin has gifted North Korea with dozens of animals, including lions and bears:


Russia has gifted North Korea zoo animals after being given thousands of troops to fight in its ongoing war with Ukraine.

The animals were escorted by officials and experts from the Moscow Zoo on a government plane to Pyongyang, according to a statement from the Russian government issued Wednesday.

An African lion, two bears, two domestic yaks, 25 pheasants, 40 mandarin ducks and five white cockatoos were sent to North Korea, according to the statement.

How do you think our animal friends feel about having to move to the DPRK?

A ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Hezbollah:


A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah held on Wednesday after the two sides struck a deal brokered by the U.S. and France, a rare feat of diplomacy in the Middle East wracked by two wars and several proxy conflicts for over a year.

The agreement ended the deadliest confrontation between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group in years but Israel is still fighting its other arch foe the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The USA deposed an elected leader and replaced him with a man who would look out for western interests. That would make me radical if it happened to my country. The end result was a leader who it would be fair to say was much worse as far as the west was concerned.

We have a history of fucking up countries that don't want unchecked capitalism. It has nothing to do with spreading democracy. It's about money like everything else in life.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah seems to already be breaking down:


The Lebanese army has alleged that Israel violated the current ceasefire "several times" on Wednesday and Thursday.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah began early in the morning on Wednesday.

"The Israeli enemy violated the deal several times," the Lebanese army said in a post on X, while accusing Israel of "air violations" and "targeting Lebanese territory with various weapons."

The Lebanese army said it was following up on the ceasefire violations with relevant authorities.

Earlier, Israel said it fired on southern Lebanon after detecting Hezbollah activity there.
