I am not such a thin skin

Not at all mate, whatever that is.. I'm just busting your chops.. You're cool

Busted:

But I'm saying the same thing, how am I busted?

Since "the damage is done" as Russell put it, how about now you give us some new cold-hearted insights into the matter, Amir?

But why Mehrbod? why would you choose to put yourself at the mercy of my sword, when you have your whole life ahead of you?

You're obviously very smart, and had a good education, but that aside I see you as someone who never wants to disappoint or displease anybody, and tries his best to be kind to them. This over the top "niceness" could be a direct result of living in Canada. Something that if true, would mean you're not half an Iranian you would like to be, because the main trait of our great nation is extreme jerkiness! You don't seem to be pretentious or shallow, which is truly rare among Iranians living in that part of the world, But there is a nauseating air of nobility around you, I'm guessing old money? You're an optimist to the point of "naïveté", That's not good, things almost never work out for the best in the real world. This optimism is a bit contradictory too, because you seem to be interested in History, and nothing good ever happened there(It's the documentation of human failure).. Is that enough, or you want some more?
