      Why do you want to live in Saudi Arabia? Family, religion, culture?

      He doesn't want his women driving a car.

      Some of the planners lived in USA themselves for quite a long time...

      Few cities in the US work on New York time.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        DRoseDARs, yes, I've posted on other forums before posting here. On Civilization 3 - Civilizations, Civization 3 - General and some others probably. Then I've went to chat and said to some guy (he was nicknamed something like "Evangelical" or "Evangelious") that I was a new member, he said he did not see me posting, then I claimed the forums where I posted and he said he doesn''t has Civ3 and invited me to OT forums. Later I also asked him werether ME politics are applicable or not before posting.

        I live in Azerbaijan, I like Saudi Arabia because of it's culture and because true Islam is practicised there, unlike Azerbaijan, which is secular and doesn't even has a state religion.

            That story checks out enough for me. It seems good enough (especially the bit about the chat).

            Welcome to the fora Abdul

              No, I mean that New York time is different than most other cities. In other US cities, coming into work at 10:00 would get you fired. In New York, it's expected.

                Why the f*ck do you have a promotional banner in your location field? Did you take the whole cucumber when Mark told you to bend over?

                  Sounds like my kinda town. Wonder what time dot.commers come in to work?

                    A Shiite in Azerbaijan wanting to move to Saudi Arabia? Hmmm...

                      Well, then you have THOSE people who don't have Civ3 that manage to find this site...

                      As mentioned before, ME stuff has been done to death in the OT. An almost endless stream of new threads crops up every so often, particularly as war with Iraq lloms ever closer. The mods try to keep the OT from becoming solid ANYTHING by limiting what threads are left open and which are closed. We don't need a new thread everytime some "new developement" comes to light on the subject of Iraq, so those threads are closely monitored. A few weeks back (2 or 3) there was a crackdown on Iraq threads as there were too many. That happens, so be warry. Otherwise, the 'Poly forums are one of the better forums out there for ANY subject. The mods aren't draconian and are even actively participate in discussions, ranging from heady to absurd. They do what they must to keep this place a good experiance for all who are willing to take a little flack and a grain of salt...

                      So you're a devout Muslim? I can see why SA would be attractive. I'm not gonna judge you based on that, so don't worry. I guess now I've seen every "devout-whatever" under the sun...

                        Just cuz he lives in Azerbijan doesn't mean he's a Shiite. I thought Azeris were Sunni anyway.


                        Abdul-Aziz, Wahabbism seems to be far from the Islam practiced by the Umayyads and Abbasayids. How can it be "true" Islam if it's only a few hundred years old?

                          Well, that's what I get for assuming an Arab king's name and a Saudi flag means the poster is an Arab.

                                Cool poems. For diversity, can you also post some about killing Jews and eating their livers?
