Nah, not if they pass a law similar to "one child" where you're only allowed to live to a certain age before being put down.

**Kerberoz** · 2012-01-05 09:54

"One grandparent" law. I love it.

Little bit of irony here. A US ship that is a part of the US carrier group that Iran said wasnt allowed back in the Gulf, rescued some Iranian fisherman from Somali pirates

Parents tell me that the EU has delayed oil sanctions on Iran by at least 3-6 months, citing their economic worries as the reason. GG see you next round Iran wins this one.
Here's source in BBC Persian. Can't find any English sources yet.

US estimates indicate our gas prices as a result will increase to near 5 bucks a gallon. I need a diesel D:

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a ploy to push the Keystone Pipeline. "Want cheaper gas Americans? Go Canadian! It's not terrorist oil!"

Doubt they'll let it come to that with election season coming up.

You're assuming the Chinese government will bother to setup a human social security system for their elderly instead of just letting them fend for themselves and let their economy grow unhindered. My bet is they won't.

**Hyan** · 2012-01-07 09:25

The elderly will go and riot on the streets. Total anarchy follows.

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-01-07 13:57

while they have thus far been effective at ramping down expectations for political freedoms and civil liberties throughout human history as economic freedom and affluence grow populaces come to more and more strongly demand the former. i wonder how long China's people will accept nationalism + wealth in lieu of human rights and a more equitable society.

Goddammit. I fucking hate this country sometimes.

Iran courts gave an American spy the death penalty. Possible shitstorm incoming.

Shitstorm from what? You really think we're gonna raise a shitstorm because we were illegally spying on another country?

**Dimmauk** · 2012-01-09 14:15

You can't just kill an American and get away with it!

**Ragnus** · 2012-01-09 14:37

Something about disavowing any knowledge, not caring about him, etc etc etc

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-01-09 14:44

the Soviets killed our spies all the time

the White House has already disavowed the individual saying he was not sent by the CIA and was not spying on our behalf, as they always do with these individuals, and it may even be true who knows.

either way all we'll give Iran over the issue is a sternly worded condemnation, if they even carry out the sentence

**Kuya** · 2012-01-09 14:55

There's probably some behind the scenes talk from the involved parties anyway to see if they can prevent the execution.

**Galkaeater** · 2012-01-09 15:05

not caring is what you would expect them to do if he was a spy
