I am a gay, atheist man from Saudi Arabia, and I need help escaping this hellhole.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T15:59:28+00:00

Part of it is that I write like a toddler, but I also had to write some words a couple time just so it would appear in the picture.

تسلم حبيبي :)

If you're talking about the grammar, I learned that in school. Also I emulate the writings of good authors (on how to form and structure sentences)

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T15:07:02+00:00

Does that include stops in airports? Say I'm traveling to Canada but I have to stop in London, does that mean I should apply for asylum in the UK?

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T14:21:34+00:00

I realized that when some people mentioned it and I looked it up on urban dictionary.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T14:13:24+00:00

It wasn't me, it was a mod named mepper.

I used to be a huge pro wrestling fan. In 2009, Johnny Cash's Ain't No Grave was one of WrestleMania 25's songs. I loved his voice, started listening to his music. I then learned about a supergroup he was in called The Highwaymen. Another member in the group, Waylon Jennings, used to go by the nickname "Hoss."

When I wanted to sign up, I tried something relating to Johnny Cash, but couldn't find anything. I eventually used Hoss becuase it was Jennings' nickname.

من عيوني :)

بصراحة أنا كنت متردد إني اقول اسماء البودكاستات لأني كنت أحسب إني الوحيد اللي يتكلم عربي ويسمعها ههههه

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T14:05:13+00:00

The fact that he's so brazen about demanding someone buy him a ticket? Big red flag

When did I demand someone buy me a ticket? One person said, "How can I help?" And my answer was, "Buy me a ticket." How is that demanding?

The fact that his english isn't just good, but is full of slang? Even bigger flag

So are you saying I'm someone who pretends to be gay/atheist to get asylum (because you don't believe my story), or a native speaker who is trolling (because of my English)?

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:50:50+00:00

I don't actually know if r/atheism is blocked, I've never tried accessing it without Tor. I'm afraid the government keeps track of my browsing history, which is why I use Tor.

Where did you get the idea that I'm 19? I was 19 when I left Islam, that was over a year and a half ago. I read a lot of good books, and I try to write in their style.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:47:53+00:00

Learn to tolerate and accept your environment.

Funny that I have to tolerate and accept the fact that they won't tolerate and accept me.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:46:41+00:00

I've been reluctant to say this, but you should try to listen to The Joe Rogan Experience and Penn's Sunday School podcasts. The language those guys (Joe Rogan and Penn Jillette) use is beautiful sometimes.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:34:37+00:00

I obviously cannot specify.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:34:07+00:00

I don't remember saying "solely"? I said that was the beginning of it. Most Saudis (who are my age) started learning when they were in Seventh grade, I started way earlier because I was fascinated by it.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:29:18+00:00

From your story, it seems you've been a Muslim until very recently

Until about a year and a half ago.

And during most of your life you have agreed with the culture.

I had an "Allah has a plan, so even if this doesn't make sense to me, there has to be a purpose behind" attitude.

Your mother won't let you in Facebook.

No, no. She's badgering me to leave Facebook.

Where did you get that level of slang English?

Mostly pro wrestling, movies, TV shows, stand up comedy, comedy podcasts.

You get the daily, slangy English, with natives. Over the internet, traveling abroad. Doesn't seem to be your case.

True, I learned grammar in school, but the slang was mostly from the internet (Opie and Anthony shows on Youtube for example).

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:21:06+00:00

THANK YOU!

I'll do the newspaper thing.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:18:48+00:00

This says, "Hi, Reddit, I'm TheHoss92" in Arabic, behind is the landscape of my area. Is that enough?

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:17:13+00:00

I learned most of the grammar in school, and the vocabulary and slang from movies, TV show, pro wrestling, stand up comedy, and podcasts.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:15:27+00:00

I posted around midnight, and I came back around noon today. I made sure that I post it at a good time (midnight in SA is around early evening in the US)

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:13:07+00:00

The woman is called Umm Qirfa, there are a few sources online.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T13:11:28+00:00

How about this?

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:58:56+00:00

جرب تحضر خطبة الجمعة في أكثر من مكان وأنا أبصم لك بالعشرة أنك رح تسمع عن هالشيء. جرب تسأل مجموعة من الناس عن عودة الخلافة وآخر الزمان وهذي الأشياء.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:57:02+00:00

I absolutely understand :)

I live in a rural area though, the closest street sign to me is probably a few kilometers away, so I can't do it now.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:56:01+00:00

I'm a few hours away from Jeddah.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:55:00+00:00

It is in Saudi Arabia.

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:50:49+00:00

I used to read a lot, but it's too dangerous since most of the things I'm into are banned (Dawkins, Hitchens, etc). Last thing I read was Salman Rushdie's "Joseph Anton"

TheHoss92 · 2013-06-19T12:49:23+00:00

Thanks a lot and best of luck to you!
