(15,359 posts)around. I mean some of the nicest, polite, friendly college kids you could ask to meet. And I mean without exception. I work blood drives at a couple major college towns and universities. I can't say I ever remember a kid from that part of the world being the least bit snotty or trying to play being a badass. They are always exceptionally respectful and it's always been that way.
Go back to the late 70's when I went to school with a pretty good bunch of Iranian kids. Now those guys were a different breed. I mean that in a good way though! They were partiers, going nuts on their parents money over here! I loved those guys! Once the accounts got frozen with the Iranian hostage crisis, most of them left. One guy name Javad ( I can't spell his last name) worked on an asphalt crew with me one summer. Another buddy knew the companies bosses kid and got him on. He was the only one I knew that stayed and became a citizen. He's like a big time equipment operator that they send all over the northwest to run the big track hoes on tough jobs. I've sen him in action. That guy can tie his shoes with one of those!
