    At just a few weeks past 29 I think I am the resident whippersnapper on the AMT.

    Yes, son, that is correct. haha!

    Regardless of age, I'm guessing most of us who frequent AMT are more culturally and politically savvy that the average person. I know that sounds a bit snobbish, but who here would deny it? :-D

    You are correct rr. By child of 90's I guess I meant "coming of age in the 90's". I was born in 74 but consider myself a child of the 90's.

    Actually, I'll admit I'm not on either front, but have learned much here, there and everywhere from those who are (or, at least, moreso than I).

    gambs, the whippersnapper...perhaps :D

    Interesting, the term "coming of age". I found that time of mine, that coming of age, sometime in the 90s, but I was in my 30s when it happened.

    Right time ;)

    I don't think you give yourself enough credit, H. You chime in on many subjects here on AMT and always in a well thought out manner which means you have at least some interest and knowledge of the various subjects. I honestly don't think the average person is that aware. I wish I were wrong on that! But yes, we are all learning here.

    That's it? Not that I'm wise beyond my years, but let me say I think you are beyond yours.

    Think I've got you beat by a few years at 24 (25 on Saturday). I consider myself a 95-year-old at heart, however :)

    I'd like to see the link to the actual online posting from Iran or the "affiliated" website.. Instead of the x degrees of seperation you provided. A link from fox which posted a story from an online right leaning "paper" online with no source material.

    Funny how this is getting posted right before Bibi speaks to Congress with the onesided we have no blame in anything israeli opinion on US legislation. Frankly Bibi, I dont give a fuck what you think. Step up and take responsibility for the actions of your government FIRST before you weigh in on anything else. You can send the checks back too while you are at it.

    The Fox article linked to the republished version of the article on Fars News (http://www.farsnews.com/printable.php?nn=13931105000142).

    That being said, I'd like to hear Godfather's opinion of why this is relevant on this particular thread.

    I'm in 100% agreement with you on Netanyahu: the man (and the Israeli government at large) has an opinion every country's actions, but anyone with the audacity to criticize Israeli actions is called "anti-Israeli". To me, that wreaks of deflection and refusing accountability.

    And me and Mickeyrat, I assume. Unless somehow that article has any relevance whatsoever to France and the Charlie Hebdo shooting.

    Don't want to have this thread locked because someone posted an article off topic.
