Saudi doctor presses for right to pick husband - World news - Christian Science Monitor - msnbc.com

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Samia is a surgeon who, as she says, is "supposed to be a grandma by now."

But she's not even married yet. As with many women in Saudi Arabia, choosing a husband was not solely up to her. Her father and brothers demanded that she marry a cousin, and, she says, beat her when she refused. For the past five years, she has lived in a shelter for battered women.

I'm responsible for people's lives," says Samia, now in her 40s. "I want to be responsible for my own life."

political expediency stinks.
 
A couple of things come into play as to why we support the Saudis.

We are dependent on their OIL, and they are dependent on our cash.

As long as they want the money they are less likely to become our enemy or go after Israel.

The whole time the we support the Saudis their schools teach the Wahabi religious movement which is behind extremist Islam, and they teach hate against the West.

To drive,
Both drivers and house of saud are insured,
Even their insurance is insured,
Both two ...
People, however, are on the mercy of accidents,

This is ‘quick democracy’.

It certainly does, however it is a standard part of everyone's foreign policy. We've always done, and always will.

Well it certainly is a compromise, and a matter of surviving in the world as it is.

You have to divide by zero to understand it, but that's only theory. I would advise not trying it.

Drive means practice to reach ends …may be honeymoon,
Drivers drive practice to reach ends …they may be a maid and an ex-imf chief,
house of saud is a vehicle,
Insurers say good-bye while seeing off them for a good drive,
Insurance strengthens the belief of drivers that the journey is fruitful,

What exactly in it that you do not understand???
 
Do you remember prince Charles’ tour of Bharat in 1980s???
He checked most of Bombay film actresses to find out exact copy of his desire of bride!!!

He checked dancer actresses,
He checked extras actresses,
He checked social family film actresses,
He checked drama actresses,
He checked tragedy actresses,

Whether prince is from al saud, al victoria or al khalifa,
They all do such things,
With hundredth glass of whisky in hand, they check wisely and enthusiastically,
They praise, they promise, all under whisky,
They drive the world under whisky,

They are famous for such things,
Sometimes, they are kept constitutionally,
Sometimes, They are created democratically,
Sometimes, they are installed for general installations,

a conversation between a prostitute and a prince:
------------------------------------------------------

Hello Dally,
How are you prince?

You are late Dally?
Oh yes sorry, I was invited by another daily guest at westminster,

Your ring is expanding Dally,
No no dear holy prince, I was just understanding democracy from that guest,

What the f*** with you and democracy, Dally?
That guest was explaining every root from Piccadilly to parliament,

Come here Dally, I don’t pay you to improve your understanding,
Shut up you apes …you … prince,

O an honorable prostitute! don’t you know culture?
O you ape prince! don’t you know manners?

I am a prince!!! I don’t show manners to honorable prostitutes,
And I am royal prostitute!!! I dissolve your dirt,

Come here, I want to take this time from another root,
Oh, what root sir?

From here .. touching this line …walking boundaries to boundaries …to this juridical out,
Who says you are a prince? you are a sick,

Oh, this is your opinion. Keep your opinion secret open your understanding,
OK ape prince, OK holy prince, OK bread giving prince …take my all innocence I ever had.

monarchy is a constitutional vacancy for conducting injustice in the whole world,
Supporting them is very very very important.

Then, you should join ‘Whitehouse school of understanding’ to understand monarchs more clearly. Whitehouse administration manages it all. This institution has produced award-winning pupils on monarchs. Such pupils deliver lectures on international forums directly …live from the institution or from palaces of monarchs and you watch such pupils on tvs with amazement on daily basis. This institution has a processing plant where they process monarchy and democracy under the leadership of constitution.

I don't think the failure here is mine, TBH. Gibberish doesn't make sense to anyone.

Becaue it would be unfair to not support them but to support our enemies.

Our hearts are just too soft and our compassion too deep - like a cesspool of filth, putrifying in it's own steeping boil akin to the most foul of all septic tanks.

So, you stand with monarchs to engage ‘enemy’???
May you please allow to consult Diana about your ‘engagement policy’???
 
We love em.
We literally: kiss em, hold their hands, hug em, and smoke cigars with them at the White House.
Why?
Oil, and greed.
