I'm really interested in what they'd think of us if they heard our really heavy shit.

Iran, which has launched an annual summer crackdown on "immoral behavior", bans alcohol, narcotics and parties with unrelated men and women dancing, drinking and mixing. Western popular music is frowned upon.

Almost makes the police patrols at the shore seem like a cakewalk.

In my opinion - which is not authoritative, informed, or anything else but based on a subjective view formed by many articles on Iran - THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY NUTS.

We need to rock the casbah. hardcore.

Then again if I went down the street listening to Iranian rock music I'd probably be called a terrorist. Go figure.

No wonder they go and fucking suicide bomb the crap out of people. I'd be pissed as hell too.

I'd just become a regular 'ole mad bomber so I could keep doing it.

I don't know if I want their inappropriate dress to turn out to be jeans and a T-shirt or S&M gear, because I'm quite conflicted on which would be more amusing.

Sounds a lot like Bob Jones University. And, just like at Bob Jones, I doubt the "morality police" can ever really stamp out those who are going to engage in such activities anyway. Really, though, hasn't rock music been considered Satanic by just about everyone at some point or another?

Only if they're doing it right.

*snickers*

I'm going to the school right next to BJU.

I read about them, they make me laugh.

I think I might wander onto campus listening to the only Marilyn Manson song I have... "This is the new shit..." (from the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack. It makes me giggle)

My college has a "No Dancing on Campus" rule.

Yes, I also go to a Baptist School, however not as much is required at my school, we just have to go to chapel 2 days a week for an hour.

Plus I find it hilarious that you can have a gun in your dorm but you cannot watch a G rated movie.
