From wikipedia: Al-Waleed is considered a proponent for female emancipation in the Saudi world. He has financed the training of Hanadi Zakaria al-Hindi to become the first Saudi woman commercial airline pilot and has stated on her graduatio

If you become a father, won't you be obliged to pay child support? That's a long term drain on your resources you might not be ready for and that would be unfair if the woman lied to you about birth control.

A day's worth of labour means a $2 pay in some third world countries. That's $60 a month, assuming you work everyday. Working for ISIS is a 6x raise, though admittedly with much higher risk.

I don't disagree with you; my response was to parent's comment about doctors who apologize.

Personally, I like the idea of air marshalls as well. It makes feel safer while flying. The TSA, on the other hand, definitely makes me feel less safe.

I haven't heard much talk about this in the media, but has anyone noticed that Saudi's latest bout of hostilities towards Iran, active military role, and oil glut all began around the time King Abdullah died and this new fellow wa

Is there a meaningful way in which we can act?

Did you try it with subtitles? I also assume it's easier if you're familiar with a language you already know. For example, it's probably easier to learn Spanish if you know English, as opposed to Arabic.

This happened to me recently. I asked a close friend if she had seen the Milky Way. She said yes, but I learned later that she thought that by "Milky Way" I was referring to the smattering of stars she can see from her mid-sized I

You can't attack Saudi Arabia because that's tantamount to the attacking the entire Muslim world. Not many Muslims I know have any love for the Saudi regime, but almost all have a huge emotional connection to the holy cities of Ma

I didn't read the article, but my gut instinct would be that the people this man was held captive by were foot soldiers. They are frequently illiterate people who are fed such "prophecies" as truth. I do contend with your sta

In my mind, the erosion of privacy and freedom - some of the most vaunted principles of the West - is the ultimate triumph of terrorist organizations like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. They can't beat us by strength of arms, so instead they'

Because they're trying so hard, and the only time I ever hear of people using Lyft instead of Uber is when Lyft is offering some massive promotion. (disclaimer: anecdote, but then again we're talking about vague feelings)

They are well respected and loved by a large segment of the British population, and a decent amount of people within and within the British Commonwealth. There's no reason to disrespect the views of those people.

No love for Elementary OS? It's based on Ubuntu so you'll get to use most of the Ubuntu-related assistance on the internet, and it's well near as pretty as you can get with Linux!
