Don't want to be an Iranian idiot?

[donniedarko]

Found this somewhere and thought it was amusing...

"Iranian Idiot"

Don't wanna be an Iranian idiot.
Don't want a nation under religion.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck Iran, yeah.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across this nuclear nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Suicidal dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm revolution Iran, huh?
I'm not a part of an Islam agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of fun-dementia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across this nuclear nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Suicidal dreams of tomorrow.
We' are the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to convince me.

Don't wanna be an Iranian idiot.
One nation controlled by religion.
Dis-information nation of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot Iran, yeah.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the nuclear nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Suicidal dreams of tomorrow.
We are the ones who're meant to follow.

thats a pretty funny takeoff of the original...
its a good thing we can't afford to completely wreck our economy to make TPTB richer. saner heads have won, for now. although it's not too late to "encourage" the Americans to expand the war on terrorism by pre-empting another country based on faulty intelligence.


American Idiot

That is great Emerald Dragon. What a wise reshaping.

Well done E. Dragon,

Iran is being demonized unfairly. DD seems to support much of the current rhetoric coming out of Washington. But I like your style.

[donniedarko]

Wow, give credit where credit is due. The first post was some guy's rewording of a current popular song by the band "Green Day" called "American Idiot". Emerald Dragon simply posted the original lyrics. I found it amusing as commentary about how most people tolerate bashing of the United States, but as soon as someone turns it around and bashes anyone else, they are assholes. His site was shutdown and the lyrics removed. Irony?

Freaked Out, how am I supporting current rhetoric? I just provide a devil's advocate to issues that most people don't have the balls to look at objectively. It's so easy for you people to accept unfair villification of the American administration without sound evidence. I have had enough of people jumping on a bandwagon of hatred because of the latest left-wing propaganda. Yes, the Bush administration has done many bad things, and seem to have no regrets about it. I definitely do not support their actions in Guantanomo, the invasion of public privacy and the concurrent lies and lack of respect. However, no-one brings those things up. They just jump on the "big" issues that they find easy to argue. So when you lie and state your opinion as fact, I am gonna call you on it.

For example, I am all in favour of Iran's nuclear program, even more so if they weren't actively enriching uranium unneccessarily. Technology has been developed that allows for efficient NATURAL uranium reactors that provide ample energy for CIVILIAN use. Why pursue an expensive and uneccesary nuclear enrichment program unless something was up? Their reason, "we are allowed to and therefore we will, and we don't give a fuck about your concerns". Read intellegently. If Iran didn't have oil leverage, it would probably have thought twice about flipping the bird to the rest of the world.

Maybe you are refering to my debate with you on the issue of the War in Iraq, what do you expect? Someone stated the war in Iraq was illegal and as I clearly demonstrated that is still debatable. Similiarly, if you argued that Bush led the public to believe something that wasn't clearly proven and that is wrong and violates his responsibilities to the American people, I would agree. But to state that he did so with malicious intent is merely conjecture based on a pervading theme of "fuck-you government assholes". How adolescent.

It is easy for you to republish the left-wing proganda that "demonizes" the United States, especially the current administration, so I chose the hard road and demanded that we look at things more objectively. I provided a counter-point to your arguments. Did this not provide greater understanding, did it not allow people to read information you would not otherwise have posted? I don't argue because I think I am right all the time. I do so to provide the OTHER side. Some people fail to realize that in the end, especially in politics and current events, what you are presenting is only an opinion and there are other opinions aside from yours.

*rant over*

Returns to happy thoughts.

DD,

I've have got no choice but to hunt you down and call you out. And since when am I leftist? Because I don't agree with the war? Please...

That's typical - dismiss dissenters as some sort of communist. Don't you think that's a little adolecent. Anyway, I did some more digging and the UN doesn't agree with you on this issue -- they've said the invasion of Iraq was illegal. I've posted the comment elsehwere in the forum where I hunted you down on some other thing.

Cheers,

[donniedarko]

I didn't call you a leftist, I simply stated that you consistently re-publish the same arguments that come out left-wing think-tanks (read propaganda). Nor did I say communist, however, you can infer what you wish. Who is making assumptions now? My statements were in general directed at your sources except for the following:


It's so easy for you people to accept unfair villification of the American administration without sound evidence.

Which you do, or at least fail to present sound evidence, take your pick.


So when you lie and state your opinion as fact, I am gonna call you on it.

Which you do, and I have.


It is easy for you to republish the left-wing proganda that "demonizes" the United States, especially the current administration, so I chose the hard road and demanded that we look at things more objectively.

Which you did.

Let's face it. I don't doubt that you are very nice person and have good reason to believe what you believe. Fine. But show it. Show the rest of us this evidence that caused you be this way. Try and convince those of us who believe otherwise. Hunt me down and call me out? Call me out on what?

[blue velvet]

hey there, I,m a slow thinker but are you for real. politics is always as personal as religion.Ones feeling and interpretation depends on how one was raised and what info happened to be on the news. so no two people will ever agree completely on any political proplem

[Nasik]

Huh? So where do you stand on all this?

[blue velvet]

have you ever been in situation, where you're so scared you can't move. the last thing on your mind is politics. try spending a night at the Cherry bank hotel

[Nasik]

Well, okay uhm. Yes, yes I have been that scared. In fact I have actually spent a harrowing evening at the Cherrybank - that was scaarrrrrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

But what the heck does that have to do with Iran? :smokin:

[blue velvet]

I really am out of my league in this thread, my gift in life is not here, must move on. I just feel big bussiness really runs most countries and play with the politician as they feel fit.

[trakyali]

One of the american citizen message to be heared. Watch it.

All ED did was post the original lyrics by Green Day.
