Not to devalue your observations - which I consider quite likely -, but scientifically race does not exist with humans, and I am from Germany. It mustn´t make a difference for the brown shadow that floats throughout industrialized nations, but ... Paypal´s behaviour occured to many Germans, as I found out on my research. The lawyer I engaged finally had represented some of them against pp. My impression is that it has rather to do with critical voicings in public and on the internet. Pointing to established mafia routines, to unethical standards, to exploitation, gross environmental destruction and not at last to banks who in the basic way they profit are actually illegitimate in a democracy, and to their practise of instigating "national debts", hence looting the people twice: First by draining off from states budgets and secondly by squeezing off the private sector ... That mentioning I think is more likely to find yourself mobbed by banks. And not only by banks. If I told you how boldly I was deprived with my sues before German courts, you might hardly believe it. Who denounces the twilight apparently gets to feel it. - Having said that, I must mention that I am fond of my main bank, who are presented by friendly staff who goes out of their way when I need their help from abroad, like from Costa Rica or now. Really nice people. :O) Apparently the evil network, though mighty enough for broad applications like cleansing of critical hints on the internet, is not fully complete. Finally, the schizophrenia between official / inofficial decrees and actual routines must be taken into account as well. You know, like the DEA that is supposed to fight drug cartells, but as well engaged in drug dealing and money laundry ... In the same way you can be certain that the very bank that molested your father in the same time will kowtow to turbaned heads and their prey of billions of dollars seeking for deposit. Hypocrisis making for inconsistent images and routines. Ruphus

ORIGINAL: estebanana Arash, Did you tell the bank to go smell chos and hear your gooz? Nope my american fart buddy,,,, goozing and chosing infront of enemies was Ahmadinejad's method. Didn't work so good in the past for us. (though, i have to admit that i am still using this outdated and primitive method as you have witnessed) But now we have a new president, a more moderate one, who always smiles and never farts in public. So we adopted accordingly and simply said "thank you for closing our account", walked away, and opened another bank account somewhere else. Let's see how the new approach works ;)

ORIGINAL: estebanana Even more that G&C I like Persian food. Me too. Served with skillfully cooked basmati. Mmmmh! Something the Persians hardly get to see since years, with the exception of the wealthy. You will also find that sursprisingly many of the little people are not accustomed to the fine cooking of rice, with discrete grain. Rather will they let the rice boil and soak too much and get mushy. As I assume for original reasons of filling stomachs at less quantity of rice. Now they also need to do away with most miserable rice sorts, often times drawned in DDT. ... If they eat rice at all. Even potatos are now at luxury price there. But back to the cuisine: As yummy as much of it is, the incredibly small amount of dishes indicates the issues that makes the basic difference since the ancient times when Persians were intellectually leading. Since many centuries now the mentality there is the mentality of vegetating. Of indifference and insignificance. Of desinterest and cluelessness. A premisse of curiousity and passion for nothing. And a mere consuming attitude. There is hardly even basic differenciation with raw food ( potatos et al being just that, largely independently of sorts ) just as there is with anything natural / wildlife species. ( Folks not knowing the difference between leopard and tiger, etc.) I don´t know of any culture that is so estranged from nature. ( Kids growing up in apartments completely unfamiliar with animals, and when they see any they in place of becoming enraptured will all too often feel the need to torment the creature or take it apart.) Even just the Arabic term for animal ( "heivun") is the `elevated´fools idiom of disparaging and disdain. > Sorry for clutter, Stephen. I know.< That is on principle why the same small number of dishes is being eaten traiditonally without ever even aims coming up to try some new combinations and invent new recipes. The only contemporary addings are all imported. Compare that to the central European cuisines like of the Italian, French or Austrian with their countless of dishes. With hundreds sorts of cheese and bread and cooking methods and highly select combining and spicing ... Supplying sensational explosions one after the other for years in a row. There you quasi taste the development from backwarded to attentive and sophisticated over a course of 2500 years. A course of discovery, of trial & error and before all: curiousity about the options out there. Whereas with the Persians you see the opposite. From former pioneers of intellect to the diametrical opposite; neglect, carelessness and dissolution. It is such a shame. Cyrus The Great spinning in his grave. He could´t even be wanting to hear the contemporaries quoting his name as ancestor. For he was of entirely different tradition. Had the Dariuses not wasted his heritage on behalf of unprincipled triviality, and Alexander not burned down the remains, todays world would likely be leaps ahead from now and basically different. There are many points in history worth considering as decisive in regard of global tendencies, with some of them of dramatic relevance. And the waste of Cyrus achiements could eventually be the no.1 of all regarding past 5 millenia. Sadly, all the genius in the world seems worth little when administered by successive fools. Ruphus
