Re: Of course (none / 1)

What does the picture show? Plenty of ants or something, and then something on Iran? What is it?

Feeling stupid today...

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Of course (4.00 / 2)

Oh, it's a sewer! (Right?)

And all problems coming out of it. Ok.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

No, not OK (none / 1)

It says "shia = roach".

Re: No, not OK (4.00 / 2)

Where does it say shia? It says Iran in the middle of the sewer, not shia. Or am I taking you too literaly?

If so, you might be too. My "ok" was as in "ok, I get it" not as in "ok, all Iranians are cockroaches".

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: No, not OK (4.00 / 2)

Put that swarm of roaches next to a map of the geographical distribution of Shia. To claim that Iraq's Shia come from Iran, or Syria's, or Lebanon's is rather wrong.

Re: No, not OK (4.00 / 4)

In addition, what is the reflex that assaults one when seeing that cartoon? To stamp one's (heavy) boot on Iran.
