Okay question:  A Persian friend of mine gets all up in arms when you say she's Iranian.  Is this a common schism?

@Tomokata: I have a Persian friend who does the same. He says it's because the term Iranian is associated with the current government there and by calling themselves Persian they distance themselves from the current state of the country. Kinda like calling a Russian a Soviet.

That's because they aren't Arabs. Arabs are African, Persians are Asian.

Persians actually tend to look down upon the Arabs.  "
Because Persians have always been far more "civilized" (and by that I mean forward-thinking) than Arabs. Just about everyone in Iran has a cell phone whereas most modern-day Mesopotamians still transport themselves on camels and are yet to discover a certain hygiene product called toilet paper.

Arabs are Arabians, from the Arabian peninsula, they left Africa a looong time ago.  The Moors/Berbers are Africans through and through.

The Arabs are more African than the Iranians though. "

Not only that, but there was the Iran-Iraq War which went from 1980 - 1988. A 8 year long war.  That sparked a lot of animosity between the Arabs and the Iranians. "

Yes. There was that too.

Btw, It's not strange that there is a tension between Persians and Arabs. After the muslim conquest of Persia they forbid the Persian language, persecuted the zoroastrians, and totally destroyed everything.
I have nothing against Arabs, but I hate when people call me Arab.
I hope Batman visits Iran in Batman INC and sets things right..

@Edamame: 

However, is it then fair that Israel itself has nuclear weapons and its neighbors don't?  Doesn't that create an unfair power status?      
 

That's how the world operates, lol.  But, in all fairness their President sort of has implied he wants to "wipe israel off the map" LOL

No. The President of Iran said that the Holocaust never occurred. He also said that Israel should be wiped off of the face of the Earth.    I still don't think that having nuclear weapons (this goes for any country) is a positive thing. LOL"

Map... Earth, eh, same difference.  I'm not saying having nukes is a positive thing, because, well, it isn't.  Nothing good can come of it.  I was happy to hear President Obama wanted to reduce America's nuclear arsenal.  Naturally, people went "RABBLE RABBLE WE'LL LOOK WEAK AND BE DEFENSELESS"... Turns out it was like, a really, really trivial amount and we still have the capacity to nuke the world =/

Well, Russia still has a lot of nuclear weapons left over from the Cold War. Now that the USSR is officially fell apart, the former Soviet Socialist Republics (excluding Russia), all still have some nuclear weapons.   China also has the second highest military expenditure in the world and the Pentagon is getting quite concerned about that because China always wanted to claim Taiwan, while we said that we would protect Taiwan from Chinese invasion. "

Well, there are multiple problems there. 
1) "Communities" aren't the "bad guys" at the moment, so the public's focus isn't directed there. 
2) "Terrorists" are, so, yeah.  We're all supposed to go "OMFG THEY'RE EVIL AND HAVE BOMBS!" 
3) The countries you listed would put up too big of a fight for the US to push around ;)

Yep the US along with Russia still pack an insane amount of Nukes, we could probably chop off like 70% of them and still have the majority along with Russia.  
Whats even more hilarious though, is the simple fact we will NEVER use them to begin with. 
 
      
 
    
You guys have to remember folks, the current Administration, NO the current President is destroying the country, WHILE not having done a thing.  
Truly and evil evil nazi socialist communist man who wants government hands on your medicare or other government run programs.  
 
On that note, Sarah Palin needs to read up on what Ronald Reagan actually did during his presidency.
