One of our abiding cultural traits, as Persians, is that we don't take shit from anybody. We may have to tolerate it for a while and bide our time, but we don't forget, and we come back fighting.

Hear, hear!

I caught a brief snippet on the news of Ahmadinejerk getting crowned for the second time - the media quoted him as saying he "wouldn't tolerate any disrespect, blah blah" and I thought, yeah, enjoy it while it lasts, assberry, because a LOT of people would love nothing more right now than to kick your smug little smirk in. I heard quite a few high-ranking officials refused to attend the ceremony, and from my (limited) understanding of such cultures, refusing to show up at ceremonies like that constitutes a big, big insult - which says volumes about how well-liked/respected Ahmadinejad is!
