Alert | Posted By JasonY on 07/09/2008 1:04 PM Posted By RichTig on 07/09/2008 11:43 AM Should the Dutch be persecuted because they don't want to educate people intent on "wiping Israel off the map" ? I don't think so.
Correct, but alot of your average everyday Iranians could care less about wiping Israel off of the map. Stereotyping is stereotyping, ban everyone studying nuclear technology unless they pass a check or ban no one. Doesn't make sense. Remember also that at one time Iran was our ally. My Iranian co-worker was trained by the US Navy.
Then they destroyed our embassy and held our people hostage for 444 days. You can call it stereotyping all you like. But as long as the Ayatollahs are in power, I paint them all with the same islamic brush. | | | |

Alert | What's with all the Thomas Jefferson quotes? Do you have any idea who he was and what he stood for? I do. I'm a half-breed American Indian who was born on a reservation. I know from reading American history how he treated my ancestors and others with darker skins. In my opinion, he was just a little strange! Here's just one page of thousands available about Mr. Jefferson from Google. www25.uua.org/uuhs/duub/articles/thomasjefferson.html | | | |

Alert | "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive."
--Thomas Jefferson
The Declaration of Independence is a pretty nice piece of work I thought. Most of original settlers treated Native Americans like crap I strongly agree. My grandparents came from Europe though, so my hands are clean... Out of all the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson was the best and brightest IMHO. What tribe is your family? I have known some Native Americans over the years, awesome people. | |

Kind of ignorant don't you think to paint all people of a certain nationality as bad? Didn't other infamous people in history do that? Hmmmm.... | |

Alert | I figured the second half was comparing me to god. God flooded the earth and killed everyone (good and bad) except for Noah and the family. While I agree with the idea, I would never compare myself to god, but you can. | | | |

Alert | lol.....you're funny. I wasn't comparing you to anyone.....here is the quote.....
"Didn't other infamous people in history do that?" -- doesn't refer to God, since he isn't a person per se
Dictators and ruthless people in history have stereotyped people based on nationality or race. So for you to say all Iranians are evil kind of puts you in that category no? Small handlebar moustaches do not suit you.... | |

What brought you to Arizona? After 5 years, I'm still trying to figure that one out. I know that question wasn't directed towards me, but I wanted to respond. | |
