Do we have any members from Iran in this forum?

Maybe we should start a section "BMW E60 fans over the world support democracy in Iran". 5 mins later the whole forum will probably be blocked...

when i first looked at this thread, i didnt find much humor in it either. it really makes Americans look bad.

it takes an evil tyrannical dictator claiming victory to an election he likely didnt win just minutes after polls closed for Iranians to riot. Keep in mind people have been sentenced to DEATH for rioting in Iran. The footage and pictures of the rioting and police beating of rioters by police is gut wrenching, yet refreshing, to see oppressed people rise up in the name of democracy.

Americans? "HEY! We won a basketball game! LETS BREAK SH*T!"

thankyou sixcard for bringing this to our attention, as i didnt really take the time to think about the absurd difference between the riots. I hope if anyone else thought it is funny, they now understand that it reflects poorly on the mindset of some Americans.

But I'd also add that these political threads somehow take on a little bit too much life on here, while IRL people are too timid to make their thoughts and opinions known - and most importantly, make their voices heard where it matters! at least, from what I'm seeing these days - maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry, but I find it laughable that people riot in LA, well ...for any reason at all.
