It was a police state then even though it is a worse police state now. After I arrived, my passport was confiscated. In addition, there was runaway inflation and I had to begin borrowing thousands of dollars from the school in order to meet my basic expenses.

I have no idea where this guy was, but it certainly was not Iran. I lived there in 1975-76 and there was no 'police state' nor was there 'runaway inflation'. I and my friends wandered all over Tehran without a care in the world and the Rial was as strong as it could be. That is, until the revolution started, then all hell broke loose.

Traveling oversea to some foreign sh*t hole is the surest way to appreciate America.

All the kids should be sent away for a year or two.
