I actually donot think there is anything wrong with the iranian government, the reactions we see in the media are simply a resultant of American threats...

the way to get past the threat of war against iran is to sway public opinion towards a peaceful solution. the u.s. is changing its president. there is hope. iran doesnt look to have anything going for itself with the current leadership. it will have to be the iranians themselves who promote change, just as they did in the late 70s. it seems to becoming a totalarian state where the voice of 1 quiets the masses by force. if you are iranian help me out if im wrong. kodahafez

Typical iranian guy =

Body type like a turkish weight lifter, stocky and square body, very disproportionate. Legs like timber logs.

Add to this tanned oriental skinned, like a solarium tan ON TOP of a naturally tanned, dark skin.
Looks horrible in every way.
Add to this, pitch black, steely scruff framing in a bleeched smile which is whiter than the white parts of the eyes (which are bloody because of substance abuse.

Add to this, waxed overarms with that solarium tan. Atrocity.

Only 2 types of ppl hate Iranians these days:
1. Certain Jews
2. Girls whose boyfriends have jilted them for an Iranian girl.
If ur not in the 1st category then I kindda sympathasis with you. You see Iranian girls can be real bitches when they put their mind to it. I know I married one myself.
The thing is u shouldnt really concern yourself. No man on earth is worth this much bitterness. Just think he didnt deserve u and move on with life.

Tapir nose?
No- I had my nose done 6 years ago.

If you ever go outside of London, Manchester or Canada you'll see a lot of people hate iranians.

So you fixed your nose, did you also fix your abnormally high forehead and the disproportion between body length and head size? No, didnt think so either.

Iranians are like walking meat balls.

the disproportion between body length and head size?
No- cant fix that. You are right- Iranians can be big-headed sometimes.
Actually, not so much big headed as not taking bollocks readily.
Actually, can you blame them?
I think they have been emboldened recently!
Yeb- it is all to do with that little pain-in-the ass- Mahmood.
Yeb- if he can stand up (all 5 foot of him) to Bush, Cheney & co, and tell them to go and fuck a dog, then what chance do other Iranian men stand?

*monotone persian drum music*

*tapirnosed waterheaded goatmouth iranian making horse-like clappering sounds while moving his hands in silly oriental dancing patterns*

Iranian saying "Zoo... Vaat doo yoo thiingh? Yoo laik vaat yoo zee?"

*monotone persian drum music*

*Iranian tapirface dances off making the sound of a donkey*

Haha-
Yoo laik vaat yoo zee?"
zee???- where they German Iranians?

Tapirnosed?
U got this thing about noses- ur so negative! Just think: When everything goes limp, a long nose reaches the part other organs cant.

Donkey noises?
Persian is one of the most beautiful languages- Donkey noises is a bit like Yiddish.

Hey next time some one tell you, Yoo laik vaat yoo zee?" Tell him:
Akh joon, ajab shoomboolie!!!! then lick ur lips.
U will find he will treat like a lady 4 ever.
Lol.
