Comments: Zinsky: I generally agree with you but I do try to not just nag here. I also come here to inject some positiveness in my life, exchange ideas and learn about the psychology of people. I think these are fun. The situation in Iran is sad and dire so if I don’t discuss it (nag) I will get depressed. But the main reason I come here to visit my friends including you that I care about. Old days we used to call people we cared about daily, today we may FaceTime and in this virtual world we do this
Comments: Shahin, I don’t judge people. I don’t have the moral ground to tell people what they need to do. I’ll do my best. Unfortunately, I don’t think anything I’ve done has resulted in much improvement in lives of people in America. That has been my goal. It’s not all god and mighty either. I wanted better life for myself and my kids/family as well as others. One thing I agree with most people is that doing what we do online in a football chat room is mainly nagging without any real action/results. I can come here 12 times a day and curse at IRI as most of us do but it will not help anyone but myself and others in the page. We feel better about ourselves and get the anger out about our homeland but nothing will change. I suppose online chat rooms are mainly for that. Exchange ideas, nag about things. If not nagging about the right things, go to another chat room and find people who are nagging about your nags!
Comments: Shahin, the difference is you were not just involved in politics. You were committed. And there is a difference.
In the "Bacon and Egg" project, the Hen is involved, the Pig is committed.
Comments: I serve food every thanksgiving morning. Except last year. We were eating Yamani on Turkey day.
Shahin, I did my share too with Dem party. Donations and everything. Paid $250 for a plate with Billy in 92. (That was cheap, considering). But when it came to the warmonger Neocons of the party (Hillary , Biden, ...) taking over, it changed everything for me. Still have hope that these hawkish criminals will give the party back to those who really care about the values the Democrat party stands for.

Comments: Shahin, A short, sweet, Timeless, classic, and a hauntingly beautiful song. https://youtu.be/lrpXArn3hII?si=imQvYOkbjOP8NhfW
Comments: Zinsky: Don't get me wrong, I have not done much either beside contributing to Democratic Party causes here or there (Farzad ![[wink]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif "Wink - ;)") ). I once as a young man did go collect signature for something. So there is nothing wrong with building a future for yourself & later focusing on your family.Oh I forgot I do go serve food every few years at St. Anthony's in SF ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Comments: As a 20 year old and saw a laser music show at the Griffith Observatory and what I remember was listening to Born to Run by Springstien on weed. The most iconic Sprigstein song in my opinion. The album you mentioned I love "cover me"
Comments: Discouraged *! My bad
Comments: I’m not the kind of person who brags about his activities in a chat room. I just tell you, I’m very involved in the politics of America. I’ve been involved for years. I don’t know if it has done anything to improve lives of people in America but I have done my best. I’m getting old and mostly encouraged about the whole thing. As far as Iran or Portugal, I haven’t done much to write about. Mainly because I don’t know how. I realize many feel written stuff online is activism. I think it’s just waste of time and only makes one feel better about themselves. If I actually live anywhere other than America and find a way to contribute, I promise you, I will.
Comments: One of the best concerts I have ever been to was "The boss". He was the first performer I witnessed performing more than 3 hours of rock. My favorite is "cover me", "Dancing in the Dark", "I am on fire". Here is "Cover me".
Comments: That's exactly right. Since you rightly decided to focus on yourself your family & your life and not to sacrifice anything for the sake of poor people of US, Iran or Portugal, the rest is just complaining or internal conflict & guilt. I settled this a while back during therapy
Comments: Anyone here digs Jonny Cash? https://youtu.be/-KqrjeScLSI?si=MnvJgz7-CkkFt7Io
Comments: Honestly, I’m not complaining for myself. I have it figured out. I’ll be fine. I’m keeping a place in US, one in Porto and another one in Tehran. I’m fine. I already have all 3 bases covered and paid for. Most Americans might have a problem. They do now and I don’t see it getting better for them. Maybe I shouldn’t care. Maybe I’m just not American enough to only care for my welfare. That is after all the beauty of capitalism. Dream big, work hard and crush the corruption. I will stop complaining (even though I don’t see it as such) and focus on my life and my family. The rest need to figure out themselves.
Comments: No as part of my retirement prior to medicare I figured when i retire in Portugal, I did not have to pay US health insurance. As Farzad said I am still a teenager. That was the buzz kill not that in retirement I still make 50k a month and have to pay $500 for Medicare. This clearly shows that if you make that much money you will still find something to complain and not do not want to express your gratefulness |
