dieseltaylor Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 That's a quality effigy. Who says Iraqis aren't creative and industrious. I almost smell a presumption that "creative and industrious" as in the Anglo idea is considered the only correct possibility. : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Viljuri Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nah, the Mediterraneans are creative, and lazy and pompous, whereas the Teutons are industrious. (And way too hierarchical and lacking any sense of humor.) The Anglos are financial, first and foremost. (But their cuisine and culture isn't that developed...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hey, if they had been brave enough to burn a Saddam effigy 10 years ago, we never would have had to go there. Nice to see a free people having fun though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Scandinavians are still stuck at the level of trying to learn how to pry seeds out of pine cones. They do have some cool chicks though.

Lars Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Since you enjoyed that so much, here's one from Iran Ah, but we're not running Iran. Let's see the pic of them burning the Ayatollah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Let's see the pic of them burning the Ayatollah. How is Ayatollah a symbol of USA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Viljuri Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 About Ayatollah Khomeini, two words: "French connection". But there's even more, as even a far-fetched Inuit connection exists! One word: Marja. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Have we always been the Great Satan? I thought we used to be the Little Satan and the USSR was the Great Satan, until they went belly up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredder Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Have we always been the Great Satan? I thought we used to be the Little Satan and the USSR was the Great Satan, until they went belly up. I get confused with this stuff as well, and it only gets worse. We now have The Chosen One as our leader, so how does that square with us as being the Great Satan? Does that make The Chosen One the devil? Or are we now The Shining City on the Hill with The Chosen One as Our Beloved Leader? It would have been so much simpler if McCain would have won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Ah, but we're not running Iran. Let's see the pic of them burning the Ayatollah. How dare you mention the words burning and Ayatollah in the same sentence?! Now you are going to have to appologize to the entire Arab world and go into hiding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Viljuri Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Everything would be so much easier if Miroslav Satan would play for the Devils. But then again, Ayatollah did issue a fatwã against Salman Rushdie because of the Satanic Verses, but Sir Salman is an Indian, and not related to Dick Cheney, so where is the Evil Dark Hand of Karl Rove in all of this? It gets so confusing... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 How dare you mention the words burning and Ayatollah in the same sentence?! Now you are going to have to appologize to the entire Arab world and go into hiding. Why would the Arabs give a crap about the Ayatollah? Anyway, I have always thought that a good business plan would be to open a store in the Middle East that sold American and Israeli flags, Bush effigies and cans of Zippo fluid. Plenty of customers. You could even do a sideline in burn ointment for all the idiots who get flash burns from setitng the fuel-soaked flags alight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigduke6 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ah, but we're not running Iran. Let's see the pic of them burning the Ayatollah. I would say the effigy of the Burning Bush (Biblical reference, gettit?) is fair evidence you also are not running Iraq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a free people having fun though. +1 The fact that they can do that without fear of us frog stomping them is pretty cool. I hope they enjoy the freedom while it lasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
