that list of dislikes is looong, life must suck so bad in saudi.


most outrageous was the objection to J&J's dot baby application that they think might host porn material. Any credibility they had went up in flames with that one, they didn't even read the application.

maybe .stone-to-death-women-who-are-raped would sit more favorably with the morality police.

I was thinking they might like virgins.

See what happens when you suppress people's sexual urges too much? They start seeing it in everything... .baby used for porn?

From Wikipedia: "Any kind of sexual activity outside marriage is illegal in Saudi Arabia, but there is no restriction on the age of marriage. For instance, in 2008 a Saudi court refused to annul a marriage between an 8 year old girl and a 58 year old man"

Sick fuckers.

t is unclear how many people have been executed for sodomy. Some of the official news reports on persons convicted of sodomy seem to provide conflicting opinions.

Public movie theaters have been unofficially banned since the early 1980s, although there is some public discussion about lifting this ban,[15] with a four day film festival being allowed to exist [16]. Home movies, including VHS and DVDs, are allowed, if they have been censored, and sold in many stores. However, Saudi Customs agents do keep a list of films that are not permitted to enter the kingdom, and will be confiscated.

Satellite television exists in a legal gray area. It used to be illegal, although the ban was oftentimes ignored and recent polling data suggests that over ninety percent of Saudi households have satellite television.[

I find this offensive. Why should virgins be banned?

the dot halal objection seems odd....

but everything else seems reasonable on the SA chopping off of hands model .....
