No. You're 100% right.

You fools appear to be unaffected by logic, rational thought, and anything that resembles wisdom.

Cool.

(Aside - Husker, why do you insist on creating this fictional group of fools? We have enough real ones here.)

 An excellent quote.

But discerning the difference between the wicked and righteous is an unenviable task if done earnestly.

That’s right. Thanks for pointing that out — I realized I’d translated it wrong. The correct translation (which was done by James Ross back in 1890 and I found it here) is:
 

Quote

To compassionate the wicked is to tyrannise over the good.

Which, of course, is part of a longer sentence. The full sentence is:
 

Quote

To compassionate the wicked is to tyrannise over the good; and to pardon the oppressor is to deal harshly with the oppressed.

It may "seem simple" to you. I have no doubt that's true. Here's a link for you - Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia

Sometimes, when folks post with much ego and little knowledge, they aren't even aware they are being wicked.

None of this is simple. If you think it is, that should be your first clue.

Any notion that human behavior is a constant is childish.

you're just being a silly snake

Good one! Where could you have possibly got that quote from? You should really reference the author.

Would only seem fair.

it is simple, simon.

1979, they didn't like what we did. i get that. they took hostages. they have been at war ever since that regime took over.

not just with us. not to mention against their own people.

they funded terror in the entire region and europe and the world since that time. it hasn't stopped.

and again, not just with us.

if you don't see this as evil, simple simon, you really have a problem.

[Scouts Honor]

you have a person who has lived under the regime, and you explain away his feelings.

it's like all the people who fled from communism and warn everyone here about it, yet idiots like you still vote for it.

I see that. And, in particular, I see that 1979 was 46 years ago. Probably something you need to rethink.

The only verifiable idiot I see here is one who thinks he knows how I vote.

That's not what Trump has said the last day or two.

We both know Trump is an idiot. But to be clear, he's now complementing Iran and Iranians.

trump has made the distinction between the Iranian common majority and the secular regime extremists. The majority of middle class Iranians as Undefeated has indicated he sees it. Do you think this is a bad thing? Now reread your graphic.

the word i think you are looking for is complimenting

As you already know, the graphic wasn't directed at you. It was directed toward the poster I was replying to.

Why do you choose to be a turd about such simple and obvious things?

This is quite the sequence of events:

• In your post, you 100% commit to Iran still being evil
• Others then try to come to your rescue trying to pretend you didn't
• And you play dumb. Not willing to step up and be honest
  Now Iranians being called good people is not a problem for you.

And you have the nerve to call out politicians for being dishonest?

As my college wrestling coach used to say,
Look in the mirror and decide who you want to be. That's exactly who you are going to be.
