Since when does Iran, who used to be called Persia, by the way, give a fuck?
snip
The U.S. Navy has invited outrage from Iranian advocacy groups, the Iranian government and Facebook protesters for making it official policy to call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf. Though the Navy claims it's been using the term for two decades, the Pentagon was bombarded with complaints over the past week after the language showed up in the Navy's official style guide online.

Fuck you, get the fuck over it, grow the fuck up and quit acting like retarded, spoile little brats.
If you had a legitimate beef with this, you should have spoken up twenty fucking years ago, morons.
Jesus Christ, you quit calling your own fucking country Persia ages ago.
Do ya still make those fancy fucking rugs there? What do ya call 'em, Iranian rugs?
No, they are still called Persian rugs.
I would have to think you all could find something a little more substantial to pitch a bitch about, seriously.
The last of the real Persians (for whom Zoroastrianism was the native religion, not Islam) left Iran when the revolution happened.
ReplyDeleteThe Muslims living there now simply want to piggyback on civilizational accomplishments from back in the day that they will never come close to with the petty theocracy that they've become.
Btw, for sake of clarity and unification in puriticism.
ReplyDeleteThere are no such things as "persian rugs".
There are "Jaipur rugs", "Bukhara rugs", "Khorasan rugs", etc.
The "persian rugs" came in play due to low education in general public, to slop dawn comprehension for prospected customers (fuck yes).
American consumers and general public due to fuck'ulty of English language in their own understanding converted all and any foreign words to simplify or protrude to make it easy to pronounce. English language is really stubborn and fucked up.

If you ask Iranians, say at the convenience store or gas station, where they're from, they'll say Persia, knowing that most Americans don't know that Iran used to be Persia.
