Random Thoughts Thread #3

Signed.

 

sealed and delivered..........

 

Are you checking me or something?

Anyways, it's absurd that a country where women cannot drive, where a young man was set to be crucified just because he participated in anti-government protests, where a woman gets raped AND receives harsher punishment than her rapists, and where religious freedom is pretty much non-existent, can lead the UN Human RIghts Council.
And those are only a few examples.

I know the world is pretty much fucked up atm, and the UN is a failure, but still...there should be millions of signatures because it's so ridiculous.
Even more ridiculous than giving a person like Obama a peace Nobel.

 

nope...never checking you....was too lazy to click on link before, and i like to hear people in their own words, too....but yes, that is a shame, and i will look into it...many injustices in this world....many.....

 

daMN...IF i DON'T HAVE TO GET TO ERRANDS RIGHT NOW.....DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.....AND all I wanna do is play....

 

They're an absolutely lousy country and were it not for oil---they'd be ignored. Which would not help women much there. Same throughout history. It's always the ones with biggest and most weapons and those of the population that feel entitled to rule others ruthlessly, regardless of morality. They ARE NOT civilized people in any sense of the word. If there was some kind of a god that loves to smite----those horrible
people would be smitten immediately!

 

It's crazy.

 

Saudi Arabia isn't rich. GDP per capita is roughly half that of the United States. And income inequality is much worse (meaning the average citizen is significantly poorer).

Your average middle class Saudi is a victim, not a criminal.

 

It seems he was not talking about the average Saudi citizen, Sitka. Otherwise I would have said the same thing

He seems to be talking about the ones in power over there. And as far as I know (there may be exceptions, but what do I know ) he's right about that. They're atrocious in their governmental rule in many ways. And they DO have money. Saudi government spend a lot on refugee help in Syria's neighbouring countries, probably in a way to buy off their guilt: If you hear some of their excuses for not taking in refugees themselves.... absurd.

 

It's hard to tell whether he is referring to the monarchy ruling their people, or Saudis in general and imported labour (referencing human rights violations).

 

I agree, it can also be read as if it is about any male member of saudi society. But then he would be wrong (or generalizing at best).

 

Political correctness on this forum has gone too far.
I really can't stand posting here anymore.

 

I hope that conclusion wasn't connected to above few posts.

I see both extremes regarding PC behaviour on here at times. But usually I just see the term PC being projected onto people/posts.

 

Ummm you're pretty much the worst.

 

Not really. I am not busy with being PC at all. Ever considered it just happens to be my sincere opinion. Why connect such a thing to it?

 

Referring to the Saud family and their brutal "leadership/dick--tatership." Why would I criticize the citizens , who are the victims?

 

the option of not doing so, is always one that exists. (or at least i hope it is)
its also a phrase coined to trivialize anything resembling a real morality.

 

I'll sometimes take long breaks from this site, thinking that I'll leave forever. However I usually come slithering back after I start to miss all the hijinks.

 

Suppose to rain the rest of the week.
