Do you think we should colonize useless parts of Africa and overthrow Mongolia and create down-trodden massive futuristic dystopic visions of the future by allowing crime to run rampant while those of monies live a hedonistic lifestyle where whatever their taste they can satisfy it with ease, instead of jail people being shipped with some dollars and a shithole, where we can experiment on otherwise controversial decisions like no censorship and legal organ harvesting clinics, introducing new ways of utilizing older technology, and its a place where if you're willing to buy the ticket, you can take any ride you want, though the landscape is filled with dangers and pitfalls, where the end of the line folks, poor, curious, or insane can go and live it up at their own risk?

It could have been our final tribute to his memory.

But Yogurtman is dedicated to wiping out all traces of Theldorrin now that he's dead.

I'm not damaging the board any and my unicorn I type out once a week or so of a post often gets missed. Nobody gives a shit and this threads pussy itches,

Its not possible, Mike; I have worn out CoP, need to strategically employ my high level spells and have a couple back up Garudas and Laksimi's, and get myself a Bishmon. I'm a back up born, two Garudas, and a Baring and Antsa away from defeating Babel and claiming my throne of the deep recesses of Madali's mind. SMT 2 is completely impossible and playing through ToA does not interest me because ID be doing it so I could get the refined greater flightstone and do another 135 hour playthrough so I can buy all my artes. And 10x experience.

My colonization was a serious idea ;_;

I am losing interest but without the board I get depressed, so DONK. BLOG. IT.

I might have mentioned this before, but my issue with the American's attitude towards towards Iranians is with both political idealogies, both conservatives and liberals.

1) Conservatives say that Iranians are not like them, therefore they should hate them.

2) Liberals say that Iranians are like them, therefore they should love them.

In certain circles, the disagreements between the two mindsets are clear. The conservatives attack Iranians by, for example, claiming they are all muslim fundementalists. On the liberal side, they defend Iranians, claiming that Iranians are just like Americans since the young people like wearings jeans or drinking coca cola.

At first, this would seem that the liberal perspective is to Iran's advantage, but both are dangerous and wrong for us.

Americans should reach a stage where they could say that,
Iranians are unlike us, but we should love them anyway. This would be the point of enlightment and the way forward in international politics. But year after year, and century after century, the difference between the two mindsets means bad news for the weaker country.

Because a certain group of the population will justfiy attacks because of the fundemental difference between the two nations, and the other will attack because they think that the people are so like them, that they will LOVE being changed.

To a liberal, if an Iranian is like them, and if they don't think the current laws and norms are wrong, then to them it is obviously a minority government oppressing the majority, therefore, it would be logical and reasonable to either remove the government or do all they can to support any opposition.

Americans, as other white powers, should accept Iranians and their differences for what they are, and leave them me.

Reading multiple news articles over the years, combined with western blogs and forums, and probably hundreds of thousands of comments, has shown me that the liberal is as dangerous as the conservative, in a way, maybe even more. Because the latter at least is more honest and upfront about it, therefore it is easier to handle and manage. But with the liberal, they are sure they are doing the best thing for Iranians, and their anti-war brigade and rallies is always the end result of years of demonizing the country and paving the way for it. That is, liberals set the stage for war

A significient amount of US and Friends' money is set aside for propaganda war against Iran. THere are many examples, but one interest aspect is the support they provide for setting up satellite tv stations to be broadcast into Iran. I think the trend started in the 90s with a host of political and biased news stations. Aside from the initial attraction it had to the Iranian public (it was all so different than what they were used to!), people soon got bored of the bias and the screaming, old farts that would constantly insult the Iranian government. After a while, interest in these programs waned off.

Which meant, that financial capital was then provided to stations that had a higher level of quality. Some examples are "Voice of America" dedicated 24 new service to Iran, Radio Farda, and BBC Persia (started in 2009, months before the western supported green attempted revolution).

However, even these were not as successful as they hoped. Iranians were getting tired of these biased news programs, and to keep the attention of the Iranians, stations tried to first, attract the people, and then try to indirectly influence their ways of thinking. The soft war was constantly getting fine tuned. For example, BBC Persia dubbed a lot of programs and shows into farsi, such as British TV Shows and documentaries, and at the same t ime, made special programs for Iranians, such as a weekly program on Iranian musicians and cinema.

Voice of America did the same thing by investing in special programs and even financed a sort of Daily Show look alike called "Parazit", which was sort of popular in the beginning, for its novelty, but like other ideas, it slowly faded away.

As these programs increased, the next logical stage for them, and to hide their intentions even furthur was to start completely non-news stations so that the unsuspecting Iranians don't even realize there is anything fishy going on. The soft war had to be changed and the propaganda against Iranians even more fine tuned.

After the unsuccsesful color revolution in Iran, a new stations popped up, this was Farsi1, which had NO NEWS and no TALKING HEAD programmes. All it had was cheap soap operas and sitcoms dubbed in farsi. Like all the other stations, it had its novelity at first, and Iranians, specially housewives, enjoyed the scandalous colombian soap operas. But this was yet another form of soft war, as people were not paying attention to being directly told, the only option was to try to attack and undermine the norms of the society.

Follow the thread, and you find that Farsi1 is enjoyed partially by Fox.

But even Farsi1 eventually lost its appeal. During all these times, there were obviously legitimate stations that relied heavily on advertising money to keep afloat which had no political agenda in mind, but while their content was more in line with Iranians needs, their purchasing power always remained and remains weak.

in 2010, another station made a splash, and this was Manoto1, another evolution to this propaganda journey. Dubbing soap operas in Farsi was not enough anymore, and Iranians got tired of them, and diverted back to watching stuff that was more in line with their culture. So, Manoto1 came to pull them back again. At first, Manoto seemed like a station that had no real agenda in mind. It had no news segments, no obvious agenda, and it was shown to be a channel targetted towards young people.

But three years in, and after attracting a fair amount of viewers, it has started to show its true colors. Its first year, it only tried to attract viewers, by investing millions in making programs themselves rather than dubbing foreign showns. For example, they have reality shows and a sort of American Idol (for Iranians) show. But after they found their way into people's homes with these non-threatening shows, they have started a daily news program that is extremely biased, a news parody show, and host of documentaries and shows that directly or indirectly attack the government of Iran.

Manoto1's funding is the most suspicious so far. They are head quarted in UK and their quality and inhouse shows point to a very high budget with no profit, given there has been not one advertisement in the station for the past 3 years. Who is actually footing the bill, for a station that has a cost of millions of dollars per year, is anyone's guess.

You're a college libertarian whose putrid mixture of freshman econ and Ron Paul talking points forms a smug, impenetrable barrier against the real world. So yeah, a regular snow leopard. Here are some references for you to check out:
www.wikipedia.com/laffer_curve
www.wikipedia.com/gargling_shit

MADali believes that he knows more than a WESTERNER because he can read online comments in white and brown languages. It is a tragic and profound image, MADali poring over the comment sections on public news sites, filing away these typical Western views, holding his finger to the West's very ideological pulse. "They can't know the Muslim world the way I know the Western world" he thinks, while in fast motion his fingernails and hair grow out and his eyes are a blur as they fly over miles and miles of the earnest proclamations made by retirees the moment after they finished reading a news story on the Yahoo! News.

I love it when MADali posts because I love to hear a single whining note sounded eternally and I like the note to be inchoate resentment of Western colonialism and I like the note to be coming out of an animal's butt

The worst my misunderstanding of western culture can result in is angry posts on the Internet. The worst western misunderstanding of iranian culture results in war and ever increasing sanctions.

Let's try to create a dialogue between our people, MADali. There will never be peace as long as the world is run by mealy-mouthed cretins like Vito who only view the Islamic world as a rhetorical prop to demonstrate their patriotism or their open-mindedness.
