I dunno.....I kinda like PersianPride.
He's the only poster from the Middle East that I know so I like to get his perspective on things. Plus we've talked about Zoroastrianism before, which is nice because no one else I know has even heard of that religion, let alone know anything about it.

Hey Mario, Great book collection. If you keep that agitated expression I'm sure you can score a acting job as a extra on the sopanos |

Never said he wasn't interesting, but you got to admit: he can be a nut sometimes. |

At one point so did I, since have found him to be an arrogant intellectual snob. He also has a very low opinion of your average American. Expressed in French on the THC arrogantly believing no one would catch on. Then when he runs into a serious critic of his ideas he resorts to name calling and is very intolerant. Just feed his ego and you will heap praise upon you. I don't know I find him to be very intelligent but very shallow. |

I yelled at them for not getting a bigger one..lol. I had to put the rest of my books on my desk shelves. Yeah, I sleep with that cross. It actually scares some of the professors at my college. |

Yeah, PP fought in the Iran-Iraq war and hates Ronald Reagan for "supporting" Iraq over Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini. Like Reagan was going to support a country that seized our embassy and held Americans hostage for 444 days! |

I always put that look on when I need to put the fear of God in someone. But people are more scared of my dad. He's got the face and the body of a mobster! Later, Zach. |

I think I scare people enough with my shaved head. They either think I'm 1) a neo-Nazi or 2) in the military.
I'm hoping they assume the latter one..........

I thought about wearing my grey ARMY t-shirt to the college campus, but haven't done so yet. I may end up doing it. If there's anything I like doing, it pissing off liberals. The idiots there have a protest every day, be it about world peace, the Iraq war, the environment, etc. |

For your own sake Mario......don't do it. The vast majority of Americans support the troops but college campuses are a whole 'nother ballgame. I've never had a problem with professors (in fact, professors always single me out in class when I wear it and always say nice things about the military) but the students are another story. I get dirty stares, comments, etc. Never mind the fact that I'm training to defend their lives....they don't care. However, I was stopped a couple times walking to class by people wanting to thank me. That always cracks me up. I'm like....I'm only in ROTC . But it's so nice when people stop me and thank me....always makes me feel good but the opposite is out there too. so just watch yourself.....dont do anything stupid while wearing that shirt |

I used to get that a lot when I was at the Veteran's Day parade on Fifth Avenue. What I really enjoyed was this: We used to host drill team and raider competitions at our High School. So all the other ROTC battalions would come to our school to compete. Anyway, some of these cadets were so disciplined that every single time I walked by them, they snapped to attention! I didn't even get that with my own company. Anyway, after we saw them doing that, me and a few other of my officer friends would keeping walking by to make them snap to attention. It was really fun. ;D It's always better to be in a class with a few other friends from ROTC. I remember I was in a draft-dodger's class in HS. So there were a lot of us Seniors in ROTC. We would all sit together. He'd make stupid comments everyday, but we laughed at the guy. As for professors, I have a lot of them on my campus who absolutely despise the military, most of them being in the sociology department. But there are a few infamous American-haters in the Poli-sci dept. as well. Later. |
