Did you get kicked out of Iran because you like hairdressing a little too much?Asshole, I lived in Iran. The Shah and his father brought many reforms, such equal rights to women and minorities, and turning the country into a secular progressive Western style country. Alcohol was legal and openly consumed and purchased by Iranians. Your claim is so outlandish and ignorant I don't even know how to respond. You are a know nothing blowhard.I watched president Carter on TV toasting the Shah on New Year's Eve, and thought it was one of the silliest things I'd ever seen, especially when the Shah lifted his champagne glass. And I thought "We're in a muslim country, he's celebrating an American holiday, by toasting with alcohol. Isnt this dumb? Doesnt he know anything about his own country? The people in his own country?"
