Iran Confiscated Nobel Peace Winner's Metal

Link in title.

Shirin Ebadi, Nobel price winner from Iran had her metal confiscated from a safety deposit box a few weeks back.  According to Ramin Mehmanparast, spokes man for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this was done as a penalty because she, Ebadi, failed to pay taxes on the $1.3 million dollar reward that comes with the prize.  Ebadi feels that there are tax laws that allow her to keep the money without paying taxes on it and this was simply a response to punish her for her role in pushing for democracy in Iran and helping with the protest during this past election on Iran's president.  The Nobel organization in Norway has been very critical of this move since this has been the first time in the 108 year history of this prize anything like this has happened, i.e. taking away the metal of a recipient, and has asked that the metal be returned to Ebadi.

Here's my take: be fucking grateful that we don't live it that fucked up country.  This lady is a rebel rouser in her home land and the government is trying to fuck her.  She protested unfair human rights practices and the corrupt government and they said, "You talking to me? Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? You gotta be talking to me because I'm the only corrupt government in the room.  Let me prove how corrupt I am and find a way to hurt you."  Seriously, this type of corruption is the type that topples governments.  The people will eventually get fed up with this shit and there will be a civil war.  Always bet on the North.  Where was I, they wanted to quiet her protest of fraud and corruption so what did they do?  They acted in such a manner that only amplifies her protests.  Ebadi, this is exactly what you wanted to happen.  This only makes you stronger.  If by taking my shit, the government only made me stronger and a more sympathetic persona, then take my shit.  My underwear is in the top drawer, left side; my favorite t-shirt is the AFA gray one bottom shelf; and my gay porn collection is... never mind I want that.

Here's something to think about that would actually scare the shit out of me, is this government (Iran) just oppressive assholes like so many before them or are they just a big entity without any real fucking control?  Seriously, is this act something that president (I didn't capital that because he's an asshole) Ama-jackass-ima-jon (I didn't spell it right because he's still an asshole) sanctioned or is there just so many fuck-nuts running around with unchecked power that they think that they can do whatever they want?  Seriously, too many chiefs not enough indians?  It's okay I'm Cree, I can say that.  That second scenario is what frightens me, a influential government in the region of the world that is a breeding ground for butt-fuck-jack-wads that has no real central control and is attempting to gain nuclear power.

Listen, it's easy to say this is just one little incident.  Yes it is.  But there's one little incident in all of our lives that can lead to a major problem if we don't take care of it.  That feeling of having to take a shit.  Either you take it or, (1) you get plugged up for a long time and life sucks or (2) you wait too long and you're that guy that shits him self.  Bad example but a little warning sign that can signal a huge potential problem.  Seriously, go shit if you have to.
