I'll be sure to tell that to my Iranian friend who explained to me why some people call themselves Persian instead of Iranian, when the area formerly referred to as Persia by Westerners, is in fact referred to almost universally as Iran now.Originally posted by DamageXThat is not the reason at all. People from the country of Iran are Persians, have always been. They don't say it out of fear of persecution, they say it out of pride.
From Wikipedia:
"Until 1935, the country was referred to in the West as Persia, although Iranians have always referred to their country as Iran".
But you're drunk, so you know more than anyone else...

Every single Iranian I have spoken too has referred to him/herself as Persian and each and every single one has told a story about the great king Darius and his descendents. I'm sure you're right though, I have never bothered to check it up.Originally posted by AsianDivaGirlsWebDudeI'll be sure to tell that to my Iranian friend who explained to me why some people call themselves Persian instead of Iranian, when the area formerly referred to as Persia by Westerners, is in fact referred to almost universally as Iran now.

Just proved my point - they are Iranian (i.e, you didn't say every single Persian I have spoken to has referred to his/herself as Persian, you said every Iranian did).Originally posted by DamageXEvery single Iranian I have spoken too has referred to him/herself as Persian
You'll understand tomorrow, once the buzz wears off...

No, you didn't prove shit. It's not what WE call them, it's what THEY call themselves. But sure, I suppose I'm too drunk to argue with you.Originally posted by AsianDivaGirlsWebDudeJust proved my point - they are Iranian (i.e, you didn't say every single Persian I have spoken to has referred to his/herself as Persian, you said every Iranian did).

Many (if not most) Iranians that have immigrated to the U.S. and other countries were fleeing the changes taking place in Iran. The U.S. doesn't admit many pro-Iran immigrants, while they welcome anti-Iran dissidents (the CIA and other government agencies like to recruit them as well).
In an effort to demonstrate their rejection of the current government in their former homeland, they refer to themselves (and teach their children to refer to themselves) as Persian.
Doubt me? What percentage of Cubans or Vietnamese people in America are pro-Castro or pro-Vietnam compared to the percentage that are anti-Castro or anti-Vietnam (or indifferent - such animosities fade as people become assimilated)?

You mean Cubans don't say they're Cubans or Vietnamese don't admit to their Mandarin roots?Originally posted by AsianDivaGirlsWebDudeDoubt me?

I already answered your questions. Apparently you are unwilling to understand, or incapable of understanding my answers.Originally posted by DamageXso you mean you can't even argue successfully with a drunk person, but instead have to resort to posting "funny" pics?

Bask in your drunkeness, because you are correct. I cannot succesfully argue with a drunken person. Why? Because you are drunk and therefore not in control of all of your faculties. It's like trying to explain calculus to a kindergartner or trying to teach a dog to talk.

The FUNNIEST thing is that you are backing down, ASSUMING, based on my statements, that I am, in fact, drunk. Yet you are incapable of making a point, hiding behind the excuse that I am drunk. Let me remind you, that should be MY excuse, not YOURS.Originally posted by AsianDivaGirlsWebDudeI already answered your questions.

Dude, once again, I've already answered your questions. As I stated before, you are apparently unwilling to understand, or incapable of understanding, my answers.
Whether you are drunk or not, with you as you are tonight (drunk as you said you were, or lying and actually sober), irregardless, it's still like trying to explain calculus to a kindergartner or trying to teach a dog to talk.
Quoting your first post in this thread:
Persian = Iranian (we only differ on why people choose to refer to themselves as Persian or Iranian).Originally posted by DamageXFucking assholes, I'm gonna spew shit and insults, just like the average motherfucker here on GFY, and tomorrow I'm gonna come back clean and innocent and wonder what the fuck happened!
It's not that complex...
