Three Americans hikers were imprisoned in Iran after crossing the border from Iraq. Are you concerned about safety?
Yeah, that was a sketchy situation, but we're covering all of our bases and getting permission from their government to travel there. We'll be smart and abide by all of the rules. Not saying there's not a chance that something will go down, but that's what makes it an adventure.
Speaking of prisoners, we have the highest amount of imprisoned people for the longest durations of time of any country in the entire world. More than 2.3 million people are locked up over here, a shocking amount of them are completely innocent. I am mystified at the way my country deals with problems, especially when interacting with other countries, like Iran. I am not afraid to travel to Iran. They will for sure grope me down less than our TSA.

Could it be that those other countries you speak about have no qualms about implementing their death sentences?
Iranian women aren’t required to wear burkas. They can wear pants & a long jacket (manteau) and head scarf.
However, things are more relaxed on the ski slopes. You wouldn’t know you were in Iran
I was aware of that.
I have read reports that things are becoming more strict in Iran lately.
I have read of the morality police roaming about and beating women who show too much skin.
They have been getting more strict
>>How do you even respond to comments like these?
Reminds me of this other time when....

Patty Hearst
Heard the Burst
Of Roland's Thompson Gun and bought it....
She is a typical sheltered rich girl from Vermont and her career as a pro is over. I see her at the US Open of Snowboarding with her hippie, has-been brothers.

Those were just the ones with overdue library books...
Can’t fix stupid.
“a shocking amount of them are completely innocent.”
That’s a load of crap they’re all innocent, just ask them...
