No, I’m just not one that feels the need to jump on every post in every thread.  I realize that is the inspiration for some one here, but we’re not all the same.  
 

I simply made a statement that history is important.  I can’t really help if people take offense to it. 

Jimmy gets paid per post.

How do you feel about these words: Honesty, morality, principles, ethics.

And now - the reality of the content of your posts concerning me - you display NONE of them.

You're just another snake on the internet with no integrity

Attacking a president, for no good reason whatsoever, who has been out of office half a year is being a poopy poster.

We've had a lot of presidents in the past. Didn't like some of them? Their time in office is now history. Get over it.

Hi @JimmySpeaks.

Sorry I can't quote your post, my internet connection is not good at the moment and the forum doesn't load completely.

About the "Death to America", I can understand how hearing this can feel really disturbing and offensive to Americans. Honestly, I feel the same way when I hear "Death to Iran" — and that’s coming from someone who opposes the Iranian government and doesn’t feel any strong sense of nationalism.

But the reality is that in Iran, even many of the hardcore supporters of the regime — the ones who chant "Death to America" and join pro-government rallies — usually mean it as a condemnation of U.S. government policies, not as a wish for the death of American people. Even Iran's Supreme Leader has clarified this several times in his speeches.

Since this website is about wrestling, maybe I can give a relevant example: many of Iran’s top wrestlers are actually supporters of the Islamic Republic. Most of them come from rural areas, where support for the Ayatollahs is traditionally stronger (urban families are less likely these days to encourage their kids to become wrestlers). These wrestlers' families (I mean top wrestler like Yazdani, Zare,...) probably attend pro-government marches and chant slogans like "Death to America.", but if you look at how those wrestlers interact with American wrestlers at international events, they have great relationships. They love guys like Jordan Burroughs and J'den Cox. Regular Iranian people also generally like Americans — they have warm feelings toward them, even many of those who support the government.

If you check out YouTube channels from American travelers who have visited Iran, you’ll notice a common theme: many say Iran was the most hospitable country they’ve ever been to.

I’m not trying to exaggerate — like I said, I’m not a nationalist at all. I just wanted to share what I’ve seen and experienced firsthand, and to make it clear that even those who chant "Death to America" or (very foolishly) burn American flags are generally expressing anger toward U.S. government policies, not toward the American people themselves.

I think each of our peoples respect the others cultures and people. the govts of all have good and bad ways of trying to gain popularity and strength and remain in power. Many of our govt policies were reactionary, to extremists. our help in removing soviet and British policy was muddied with the support for the shah, but then innocents were held hostage in 79. So now you have bad sentiment among voters and the people.  So the many innocent Iranians are grouped with this bad event bolstered by idology.  We also have many Iranians here living peacefully and denouncing some of your oppression and here of their struggles and imprisonment. Maybe many here are too uneducated please keep explaining. We do not see active rallies here denouncing your country only social media blurbs.

I knew a guy that worked in Iran before the Shah fell.   He said it was a trip.   Get a can of beans and it was a can of tomatoes.   Can of corn and it was a can of rice.   You just never knew what you were going to get there.

Yes, really, dimwit. You are lying.

You misrepresented my post. I didn't say those things at all:

  • "who thought that past presidents make no difference" - Nope, I didn't say that. They make a difference.
  • "their time is history and doesn't matter" - Nope, I didn't say that either. They matter.

Keep lying you POS. You fit right into the current political landscape... if it's not what you want to hear, you lie.

My actual post follows:

Get a backbone, find some integrity. Or just keep being a morality bankrupt snake.

Those are not my words (read the thread, dummy. It's just above.)

Those are your words, and your words are a constant string of lies.

What's really too bad is that a "constant string of lies" used to be a condemnation less than a decade ago.

Now, with the orange trumptard at the helm, it's just another day in politics. And people like you support that crap.

How ironic for a guy who talks about morality, honesty, ethics, principles, and integrity turns around with this doozy of a post.

Words I took from your dreaded comments.  The words you say then ignore as fact.  Like you being a snow plow driver from Minnesota.

How do you know? My dad was a Republican for years until he left California and registered as independent. My grandfather was a lifelong Republican who was asked to run for office as a Republican at least twice.

Arizona has closed primaries.  He registered as a Republican in order to cast a sabotage vote in Republican primaries.
