<p>Not that it should matter, but
I'm a girl.
On the dartmouth ed roster.</p>
<p>However, you obviously need to win this argument.</p>
<p>If I say, you're absolutely right will you feel better.</p>
<p>If you will: you are absolutely right.</p>
<p>If you don't have to be right, well, you know the answer.</p>
<p>Peace</p>
<p>yeah, carrerra, you're right. i guess i took offense b/c i don't know thestonedpanda, and I am an Iranian woman. Truce.
Peace everyone!
Edit: To think that my petty "Low SAT for JHU?" thread would lead to this amount of debate... interesting, yet purely CC.</p>
<p>For the record, the comment was not directed to the Persian friend. It was a description of Persians via her friend. It was not a conversation between friends but a description of Iranians through his friend.</p>
<p>I thought Fountainsiren was right to mention that it was in bad taste.</p>
<p>I respect that.</p>
<p>And the words were the persian friend's (although, as I said, she might have been drunk at the time).</p>
<p>Pointing out something is in bad taste is a far cry from what fountain did.</p>
<p>and if you're going to pick straws let me ammend my statement (since the more rational people have arrived at a truce), "but just remember [people], if you ever complain about persian women <a href="or%20if%20you%20ever%20have">or men</a> (and im not saying you have or that you guys might do it more than others), you're more guilty than i am. (or if you've ever used the word sefeed or haven't reacted towards someone who has used it like you did to me!)"</p>
<p>Stonpanda,</p>
<p>Fountainsiren, graciously steped away from this dispute. Perhaps you will do the same.
I am also a woman. In fact, three of the people posting here are women so I'm not sure how to take your "just remeber people admonision."</p>
<p>Three Iranian women say they don't like the way you refer to Iranains (Tashi87, Fountainsiren, and myself).
One (ethnically Jewish) man thinks it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>You feel you know better what we should prefer to hear.</p>
<p>It's best to let it go.
In four years you may or may not feel differently.</p>
<p>God bless you.</p>
<p>The girl herself doesn't feel my statements were out of line (and that man was iranian). But no. I personally don't think my statements were that big of a deal. You have the right to feel what you want. </p>
<p>I do not think fountainsiren graciously stepped away from this dispute. Nor do I think she graciously entered it. She too made sweeping generalizations (and assumptions). What GT said was rational, and is an ideal to which I can agree. I ostensibly did not mean to offend anyone.</p>
<p>G-d bless you as well.</p>
<p>wait sorry i am nto being insensitive, but its a common myth that muslim people in the middle east are not allowed to shave. ( not talking abt middle eastern americans). Anyway i agree, CC is hardly the place to make such a statement. ( stonedpanda if we were with you we probably would have got it )</p>
