amen to that brother
just because one has gotten away without any accidents all his/her life while on a handsfee, still doesnt make it a good idea imho

and in other news (im not going to start a new thread for this)
16 year old kid gets married AND gets a week off from school in Saudi
Saudi school gives pupil, 16, honeymoon break | GulfNews.com

want to bet that the bride is not allowed to get in MOST of the rides in an entertainment park because of height restrictions

That's appalling. Not a single mention of the bride and the school principal is quoted as saying "We offered him and his father our heartfelt congratulations." The poor girl. I can only assume she is just a child too.

This is wrong on so many levels that I am speechless! What a personal insult to the person! Why didnt he just walk away from it all? Nazis anyone?

Oh FFS! Of all the issues that KSA is facing they are bothered about haircuts. It's all about keeping control. Imagine if people were allowed to think for themselves!
