Population quadrupled over the last quarter century. 50% population under 25. 80% renting their homes.

Re: Saudi Womans driving day

The Saudi women drivers shown on Sky News this morning seemed to be much better drivers than the males I remember on the roads..........

Making more babies isn't necessarily a good thing (not saying it is bad, just saying that it isn't necessarily good either).

Not me; in the grand scheme of human rights progression, I'd rank letting local women drive as waaaaaaaaay below infinitely more important concerns like: abolishing indentured servitude, human trafficking, rape/abuse of poor migrant workers.
