We all get free or almost free or cheap, decent education in Iran, how about you? how much university debt do you have?

Care to speculate on why Saudi Arabia itself isn't accepting Syrian refugees?
What I understand is that Saudi is already home to ~1 million Syrians and the government says they have granted residency visas to 500K more since 2011 -- not as refugees, but as residents. I can't say for certain if they are refusing more refugees or why. But I would guess that the political consequences for such a shift in demographics would be too complicated for the (rather rigid) system of government in Saudi to…

We don't need your freedom, we are free, you are slave of your credit card company and bank, mind your own business. -- An Iranian
I think most westerners think of freedom as the ability to do what you want when you want. This means freedom of speech, freedom to travel, freedom of censorship, freedom of dress codes. I'm not claiming other nations are completely free, they're not. But Iran is free? Not even close.

Well I went to a paid university in Iran, the quality of education wasn't good either. Almost 1% of people get that "free" education you're talking about.
you went to paid university because you were not smart enough to get into free one, I went to free one, AmirKabir University of Technology and studied computer science for free. I like to know where did you get your 1% from?

You need to explain why this is not working in Europe before going down this path. None of the terrorists in Europe were lacking in access to internet, porn, ... Any lf that. Yet they still kill. In fact if most of the isis fighters do co e from the west, that goes for most of them too. So imho this explanations doesn't work.
Because they taking revenge.my whole comment hinges on two base.first let middle East alone.( after that you are not going to encounter terrorist like those). And you can work peoples mind simultaneously to show them how stupid is their religion. Let middle East alone.West has 50 year of stupid policy history in middle East.invasion a country, are you fucking kidding me.do you want bring democracy with that.yeap,of c…

"Since the act of accepting a gift can create a sense of unfulfilled obligation on the part of the receiver, gifts are sometimes refused, depending on the situation." This notion from an etiquette guide to foreign culture I think is relevant.
No, this one does not apply for free gift of education, but it applies to any gift that have some sort of monetary value, because when you educate people you enlighten them and give them ability of understanding true value of what they are receiving too. so you are wrong again. you give a man fish you feed him for a day ( your case ), you teach him fishing, you feed him for life ( education case ).

Maybe you're right and I'm not smart enough. But 1% of 1.7 million students who went Konkoor the year I went to is still a lot more than capacity of all universities in Iran. So your statement is incorrect. We didn't "all" get free education

you're incredibly overconfident. I'll leave it at that. good luck.
