I don't know ehere to begin in discussing this utterly ignorant essay from a college student.

[John Valentine]

I’m gonna need a cryin’ towel if these losers keep up these heart-wrenching stories of passion and loss.

Or, maybe they ought to just get over it. Their guy is imploding and they are powerless to stop it.

[Always Right]

I don't know ehere to begin in discussing this utterly ignorant essay from a college student.

Don't argue with ignorance.

[N. Theknow]

after all those loans I've taken from family members, friends and the university.

Should have just flushed the money down the toilet.

Quicker. Same results.

[Rummyfan]

Stupefying stupidity on display here. She should go back to Iran and let someone with a brain take her place at college.

[ikka]

I had a difficult summer facing my birthplace, Iran, after many years with such dramatic, cruel changes.

Worried about the USA when you are from Iran? Yup, you are a "young skull full of mush".

Note the email address, indicating that author is from the laughable "ZooMass" a/k/a U Mass.

[basil]

I think it’s pure irony....they come here to gain the bountiful blessings this country has to offer—and constantly bitch about our way of life.

[dashing doofus]

This legal immigrant would tell her to thank the USA from the bottom of her heart for the education she is receiving here, paid in part by the generosity of US taxpayers.

[penowa]

"...I overheard a conversation between some foreign students."

Maybe this student should begin by eavesdropping on some American students if the object is to learn anything about how Americans think. On second thought, he probably needs to get off his campus and spy on some grownups, not students, foreign or domestic.

[facedown]

Second, I am beginning to lose all hope and start to believe that once again Americans are going to elect someone who is less concerned about public health, education, economy or peace and human rights.

Fine, then leave.

[laotzu]

Yes, yes....America sucks.

I would do something about it, but I'm having trouble budgeting my time. Starving children pretty much fills my day.

[palomonte]

she can always go back to Iran and get herself a vest full of ball bearings.

[montag813]

seeing Senator Obama sit on a dialogue table with nations such as Iran, which are angry at America due to years of mistreatment and damage.

This is all you need to read. All students at UMass should take notice of Ms. Saranj. Watch her carefully.

[PushinTin]

NEVER!! argue with and idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience....

What is happening to the US? A democratic process within a republic. In one word, freedom.

What is happening in the world? Bankruptcy, genocide, spread of violent Muslims, government control, increasing taxes.

In one word, oppression.

[econjack]

And there are all those scary talks on tax cuts benefiting the rich, encroachment on same sex marriage, or no plan for universal health care...

Yet another naive college student who's bought into the liberal philosophy. If she would just check out the facts she'd see that the top 10% of the income people in this country pay 66% of the federal income taxes while the lowest 40% pay none. Same sex marriage is not a marriage...period. Universal health care? We already have it. Show me one case where someone needing health care was turned away from a hospital.

Wake up, stupid! Part of the education process should be questioning what you hear and taking the time to verify it yourself. Clearly, you are doing neither.

[Iron Munro]

Another sterling example of the pitfalls of trying to educate someone beyond their intelligence.

Why do we even make space in our colleges for people like this?
She comes to America from Iran, where she can’t even flash a bare ankle, and starts complaining about our culture, our choices, our values.

I am sick of people like her.
If America isn’t up to her standards she should go back to Iran.

[Arrowhead1952]

First, I am not an American citizen,

I stopped reading right there. This idiot can go back to whatever hell hole he or she came from and enjoy the treatment the government gives him / her.

[CatoRenasci]

bet her mailbox is “full” right about now....
