Whadya mean, again and again?! That's the first time I said anything like that around here!
But I can see your general point, and you're right. It's almost the same with all Iranians. Given the rotten state of our country, all that's left for us to be proud of is our past.
Mind you, UFO's don't exist either. People mention them again and again.

EDIT: Oh right. I just remembered I'd said that stuff before. Can't help it.
