Sic Semper Tyrannis

AO Jaan: LOL, GOL, and KJBJK!

Please make your lobbying for the resurrection of SmSam your highest priority!

God bless you and the rest of the patriotic Iranians!

Prof Ala - got your message

Although it was a bit garbled up for some reason.  What you say is really not that relevant.  We have people whose immediate family members have been executed by the IR and they're still supporting the "revolution," badmouth the Shah and claim that "reform" is coming.  

The IR has a strange attraction for some people.  I always wonder why Shah had so few loyal supporters at the core of his government when the IR has so many die hard followers, even among the educated and in the disapora?  There are many reasons for this, but one that I believe is particularly interesting is that the monarchial regime, by definition, was a closed members only club,  You would only be allowed in if you were a member of the extended royal family.  But the IR is open to anyone--so long as you can either: 1) swing a club or pull a trigger, or 2) propagandize on behalf of the regime.  If you can do either, you're in.  And that gives you a sense of belonging that you will defend, especially if you are a disillusioned, homesick Iranian. And at that point, what the IR has done to your friends and family becomes irrelevant.  Just so that you know, Mohammad Javad Zarif's father in law's property was also confiscated by the IR.    

I'm also very concerned about the rampant use of the smiley face

this thing: :-).  I have to say that I'm guilty of its occasional use as well.   

aka cheshmeh

I can't help but .. LOL

Why People Use LOL

According to Urban Dictionary, here are some of the reasons why people use "lol".

1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."

2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something
useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."

3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."

4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just
because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST
use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'" 

AO,

AO jan; okay.  You prove(d) that there are more information that IC members do not know (Check your message).   Only time will tell who is for our people.  Thanks.

RG and Simorgh5555

RG jaan: I think you have the best comment on this thread so far.  There are certain common characteristics among this bunch: older, out of touch, staunch revolutionaries who try to stay relevant.

Simorgh jaan: very funny. 

It depends in what context it is uttered prof.

On Holloween, it's good.  It denotes a cleverly designed costume.  Other times, not so much.  It refers to an evil character, which is usually a shared character trait of people who attend private chelo kabab parties with dictators and then advocate on their behalf.  

So, if the shoe fits...   

Sorry

AO jan; sorry.  Is witch a good word?

Oh no, Professor - I called her a "witch"

big difference.  Another user, afshinzad, called her a bitch.  Both comments were later removed.

Oh, I also said that she looked like the Crypt Keeper.  I stand by that assessment. 

TS-9 -e gerami

My list of admirers keeps growing by leaps and bounds.  They inlcude, but are not limited to the following:

-IR and its supporters; 

-Fat people;

-LOL-ing people;

-The "Greens;"

-Hamid Dabashi fans;

-Socialists; 

-Palestine-o-philes; and if I am not istaken: 

- dyslexics

SamSam

Why should he register under a new name? I have not seen him doing anything particularly "bad". I prefer him back with his original name and avatar. Getting new name is pointless. Particularly when we all know who it is. 

AO jan

AO jan;

Short memory, you called Soraya bitch not long ago. 

Prof. Ala - I don't recall ever calling anyone a bitch

not my style.  Moron, stupid, fat, etc. perhaps.  Bitch...never!

I also don't recall saying that I disliked ugly people.  Especially given the fact that I'm not really a pretty sight to look at.   

Divaneh, Anahid and Oon Yaroo

OY: you're right my friend.  I should be more proactive about Samsam. I emailed him and told him to re-register under a new name.  Look at the IR crowd.  They each have 18 different usernames, all of which talk about Israel nonstop.  Why can't we have a few usernames of our own?

Divaneh jaan: someone has to pay attention to the little things that matter.  For Darwnin's sake, how many times are we going to discuss Israel attacking Iran?

Anahid: I try to connect with my poetic soul.  I also have a video compliation of my recent trip to Iran, which I have posted on YouTube, but forgot to include in the blog.  I added a Michael Jackson to the video.  The NYC cabbie gave me the CD when I he was driving me home from JFK.  I told him I liked the music and he gave me the CD.  I'll post it below for eveyone to enjoy:

Jumping in

Mostly in response to Oon Yaroo. Why are we not having more people lobby and yell to get SamSam back? I know some around do not like me but this is not about me. It is about SamSam.

If you are really interested in good people then do something. Get off your *** and start lobbying to get him back. There was no reason to have hm banned. Then get into silly discussions about IQ. Sam wrote blog  and posts worth reading.

Way to go for better Iran.

AO does not like people who use LOL?  Okay.  He does not like fat people which is half of the USA population!  He also have said that he does not like ugly people, he has called people other names such as bitch and few other not so nice names.  Who are left? Poets?

Well, Souri jaan, you just LOL-ed me to death!

seriously, thanks for writing a comment that pretty much proved the point of the blog.

Roozbeh jaan

Well said. LMAO!

With regards to anger management, don't mention another AO classic and some reactions to it ....

You're Fat, I'm Thin. I WILL Make Fun of You!

Now I know what is wrong with me

Very good AO jaan

I am glad you find the most important things to address. RMI (Rolling My I [eye])  :-)

AO, I agree.

Seeing a middle aged to elderly Iranian man/woman with lots of "edeaa" (claims) of education, knowledge, etc, writing the short hand abbreviation style of writing  used by early teenage western kids in their electronics communications, tell me a lot about what those indivduals really are; a bunch of pretentious immature, ill educated  geriatrics , with lots of time spent on internet chat rooms and such..... 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

RMFAOL

.....just kidding dude! 

LOL,

What's wrong with all of you, guys?

You seem to have a real problme of "anger management"

You call people, stupid (because they use LOL too often !) or you call them whores (because they rally for this or that cause !) you call them cowards (because they don't agree with you!).....

Get a rest, baba!

Cool down!

This is only a website!

 Don't worry so much.

 Take one or two pills before coming here to read and write.

 and go take a walk under the sun (if you can)

Maybe this will calme you, dear AO.

Otherwise,

Consult a therapist!

PS_ For one thing I know, I use LOL, very often, and my IQ is .....above your ability to estimate !

Enjoy!

OMG AO, very funny

you know and your poem is rofl.

Dear AO, Let's respond to every LOL with a GOL!?

That way you can remotely and effortlessly dissuade the users of the LOL from using it!

BTW, what kind of a friend are you? Have you been lobbying the resurrection of SamSam yet?
