Adding video to channels (News, Politics, Worldaffairs) - requested by NetRunner.

One of their best segments they ever had, I was extremely proud of my favorite news program.

If I had any points I would be so qualitying this.

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by moodonia.

Excellent segment.

I wonder what happens if a video gets *quality twice within a few hours?

This video has already declared quality - ignoring quality request by notarobot.

Ah, thanks sifty. Knowing is half the battle, the rest is not bombing innocent people.

Anyone who's interested in modern Iranian history and the situation today should read "Iran Awakening" by Shirin Ebadi (2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner). It's a fascinating book by a fascinating woman.

By far one of the Daily Show's best pieces. The real tugging part was seeing how many of the guys they had been in Iran joking with in interviews, getting arrested during the election unrest after. The series is something every westerner should have to see to understand that 'our' problem with Iran is the same one faced by most of Iran's people, their current government leaders.

While both the left and right over here argue about the tyranny we face here, and whether the solution is removing all sanctions against Iran or bombing it into the stone ages, the people of Iran are fighting to solve the problem themselves and literally risking their lives to change the direction their leadership is taking their country.

This was super-awesome. Apparently you can't pull a fast one as well on the Iranians (as you can on the Americans).

Thought this was an awesome idea...

....until I found out they're coming back. BA-DUMP chiiiing!

Governments need a 'bad guy' to focus the attention of their people on. Otherwise the people would focus on their own government and are thus more likely to figure out how their own government is screwing them over.

Re: irony and sarcasm - had a similar experience in China, it surprised me that they 'got' ironic and sarcastic jokes. Radically different linguistics but apparently humor is more ancient and universal.

Wonderful.


Whoa, that's the first time I've ever said that non-sarcastically

*quality

edit: well, I can't quality it, but it is the though that counts right?

Invocations (quality) cannot be called by aceofkidneys because aceofkidneys is not privileged - sorry.

Jason Jones is Canadian!!!

I can't wait to see behind the scenes of Sean Hannity's trip to Iran!
