why do that when you can ski in canada, switzerland, usa, france, austria, new zealand, japan, chile, argentina, and all those other places?

I cant believe i just watched that. That was the biggest piece of crap bleeding heart liberal propaganda. First of all, obviously indigenous mountaineers aren't going to be Islamic fundamentalists... Idk what this kid is trying to get but if he's trying to say that Iran making nuclear arms isn't a big deal then he's a huge retard. If he thinks just because a country has a couple of mountains with powder justifies the right to back off a rogue nation arming themselves with armageddon then he is sadly mistaken. Plus they suck at skiing. Oh yea, if everyone just beat off all the time there would be no wars either.

that doesnt mean their mentality isnt wrong and that we should just accept their rogue islamically ideoligical mindset. In other words, just because they dont have nukest yet, doesnt mean we should go around supporting them and saying that their "label" is a lie made up by western countries trying to oppress Iran.

Moreover, the argument that the people appear to be peaceful in one given market and is therefore, sufficient basis to extrapolate the the idea that the head political regime is peaceful isn't valid. Most of the German people under the third reich didn't hate America or England, and look at what happened there. People were brainwashed and feared into hating us.

We don't know their mindset, though. It's all speculation that Bush is trying to support with spun/false information on their uranium enrichment program. Iran is not a threat, so we should leave them the fuck alone. It's as easy as that. Compare it to arresting someone for a robbery they haven't committed yet because they went and bought a gun and "look" like someone that would rob a place.

um, idk, but didn't the usa invade iraq having told the world that iraq had nukes and were gonna kill everyone?? that turned out great didn't it?

i think you'll find the problem in the middle east is not the american people and its certainly not the iranian or iraqi people. its people like rumsfeld, cheney etc who make woeful efforts to disguise their greed as the main incentive behind their interest in the area, but perhaps most of all, the problem is israel, and the strength of the jewish lobby in the us.

don't get me wrong, i'm not racist, my girlfriend is jewish, but the reason middle eastern leaders hate america is not because they hate western principles or western people, its because they hate israel and the fact that america supports israel.

as such, i think you'd find most if not all iranians/iraqis but have no problem with you as a westerner- they might even be insulted that you assume they would...

idk, whatever, feel free to rip my p.o.v. apart i just kinda made it up as i went along...

Just to let all of you brainwashed hypocritical liberals...
Youre all wrong. Just because Iran hasn't fully developed nuclear arms yet doesnt mean theyre not going to become a threat. Its better we stop this problem now then when it becomes too late and when it can escalate into a cold war. Was one not enough for you big-government liberals? Do you need more CIA's and FBI's? Going back to the retarded robber analogy, If you saw an arabic male between the age of 16-28 scouring for airplane tickets, clutching batteries, wires, a digital watch, something that looked like modeling clay, a bomb making manual, and a Koran, and then went to his house, checked his internet history and it was all on how to make bombs, how to fly airplanes, and islamic radical media, you wouldn't just dismiss him would you? You would flag him, tell him hes concerning you. Even then, it doesnt even come close to matching up to a country who has taken american hostages before enriching uranium.

And youre also wrong about the part about middle easterners hating westerners. You could not be more blind and ignorant. All of you are chasing a white elephant... or however that saying goes. The radicals in question, now im speaking on the islamic fundamentalists, the guys like the pushtun and other young, militant, male led organizations, genuinely hate all others that they view as infidels. They believe this because their living conditions are so poor, the weather is so hot, that they view this current life as nothing compared to the afterlife where theyll get a thousand virgins and meet allah and mohammed. In short, thye generally hate jews and freedom loving peoples who give women equal, or near equal rights. Now this doesnt apply to all the iranians, just the select few radicals. The problem is, its these select few individuals who govern the country. Now when the bush administration labels iran as a member of the axis of evil, they really mean Jomhuri-ye Eslami-ye Iran and the ayotolla.

Pick up a Scott Ritter book. He's a former UN weapon's inspector and has been to Iran many times over. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Honestly, you don't have the slightest clue.

PS- I'm republican, and so is Ritter... jackass.

There's your problem...the fucking UN is a joke...sorry to intrude Mr. Hussein, but the americans, the russians, and the british intelligence agencies all seem to say that you have WMDs, may we check at so and so military facility in two weeks...great!...see hussein's not such a bad guy, why would he move WMDs if he's not a bad guy?

Oops, Jumister, looks like you just contradicted yourself a little bit there.

Maybe you should go back to the drawing board and rethink your tactics? Interesting username in the context of the debate by the way...

Shut up. You sound absurd. Calm down.

They also ski in Lebanon, one of the most fucked up countries on earth. Where are they skiing on the "enjoy" trailer? That place looks dope.

Allright a danish film crew went last year, i couldnt find the actual clip but i managed to find the trailer for the movie it was in: http://youtube.com/watch?v=N0Y0d7YrAl8

What they said about it was that: It is they driest powder you could imagine, there are nobody to compete with for the fresh because nobody is good enough to ski it, the lifts are all 2nd rate russian lifts from the early 70s, when the were there they couldnt set a foot without releasing an avalanche because it was the first snowfall of the season, everything was incredibly cheap down there also they had an amazing time seeing the culture there...

if you want to convey a relatively unpopular point of view, or to get your point across to people with opposing thoughts, it's best not to patronize.
