  • Okay, we know that your governments have their own little points of view, but we have ours.

  • up till about 112 seconds (on the countdown) it was really quite good and the it just became a jumbled mess of rubbish - horrible transitions (if any at all). im sure you can do better if you work on it!

  • No left channel??

  • It's merely a bunch of confusion by English speakers, that's all- they want to sound technical. ;)

  • Um, the BBC is THE most respected and trusted new organization in the world...

    And as for the Persian Gulf thing, that's politics. Don't forget about all the Arab who favor naming it the Arabian Gulf...

    And African news services (which I watch sometimes on American public television) also report the same things as the Beeb and Western media.

    Also, the BBC is DEPENDENT upon Russian transmitters to broadcast in Central Asia, so if anything, they have an interest to be biased TOWARD Russia...

  • PML: I think these comments had been gone too far.Let's stop it here

  • ali67888:

    STFU! Why do you talk about Shah/Mullahs and all that crap? What the hell has politics to do with the legitimacy of the name of the language that we speak? As I have already said (if you're not convinced, take a look at the PDF), Parsi = Persian. Farsi, on the other hand, is an ARABIC alternative name that is ONLY used LOCALLY. In proper Iranian, it's called Parsi. The name Persian is the proper English name, thus the name Persian (meaning Parsi) should be used by English speakers.

  • clpro: The problem does not always have to be related to linguistics. In the case of Iran, it's much deeper than this. The agenda of Ayatollah BBC is straight-forward. The problem with BBC is not just what happens right now or 10 yrs ago. My problem with BBC goes back to Mossadeq's time - a time BBC was actively spreading all kinds of lies about him, in favor of the coup. Btw, have you even forgot about the Chinese Olympics boycott campaigns? What about all the Tibet pro-separatist BBC articles?

  • wow what a hardcore persian ... farsi = persian and dont correct me cuz im iranian myself. the word Farsi is used even by linguistics professors at my university so shut ur mouth and dont insult people! go suck shah's ass and then mullahs cuz they are both the same shit

  • If not why there is BBC Chinese and even my mother tongue, Cantonese?
