Saudi Arabia says "NO" to free speech

[PhantomWolf]

are you aware of the fact that this was originally NOT my claim?

It wasn't?

well, maybe we need to stop supporting dictatorships.

I guess you really meant "well, maybe we need to stop supporting Theocratically controlled Absolute Monarchies" then, right?

Thunder, you are aware that the US deciding to base their foreign policy on a 2nd ed Paladin's character sheet would absolutely ruin them, especially as China could just either call in, or sell US bonds and debts, and Saudi Arabia could just stop the oil flow?

Which would like harm those of us down here in Down Under, and up in Asia than it would the US.

Did you vote for Obama Parky? He's a foreign policy realist. He's only doing what he said he'd do.

King Abdullah is reform minded and liberal by Saudi standards. Parky of course, is outraged. Soooo outraged by America being on good terms with the King.

King Abdulla's health is in the crapper, so we have to consider what the next guy is gonna do.

It's a Monarchy of the very old fashioned kind. Rule is passed down by blood kinship.

Those Muslim countries with Secular governments are more tolerant of free speech. Muslim governments with religious governments you can pretty much forget it if your speech doesn't tow the religious/political line. If you are female, you better dress to code too.

It isn't a dictatorship. It's an absolute monarchy.

You do realise that there are more than two possible options right? If something isn't a representative democracy that doesn't automatically make it a dictatorship.


ETA and while we're at it, you're laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud?

No, he's laughing out loud or laughing off Lou of London.

I mean, keep up with the internet slang man. IDVSBW
