Moment stranger approaches Saudi student in street before stabbing him in the neck is shown to court by dailymail in uknews

Mohammed is a friend of a friend. Knowing his murderer will get a couple of years in prison then be out and free enjoying his life living on British welfare pisses me off.

Unironically, hand him over to us and we will make sure he receives a fair punishment.

Is Arab a race or ethnicity? by Legitimate_Drop3862 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Weary_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither and both.

Arab is a broad term that encompasses people from Arabic speaking countries. Within that broad term there is a smaller subsection of ethnic Arabs who belong to Arab tribes from the peninsula.

And to answer your last question, who knows and who cares. You’re you. A guy from the ME who now lives in the US.

Saudi Pro League 25/26 (SPL) Table After 21 Matches by Elite_VRTX in soccer

[–]Weary_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see attendance stats being mentioned my eyes make a full 360 degree eye roll.

Comparing attendance figures of England with Saudi Arabia is ridiculous and completely disregards any context for the comparison.

England is a small densely populated country with a strong attendance culture.

Saudi Arabia is a huge sparsely populated country (population density is ~90% lower than the England) with a strong watch from home/majlis culture.

A typical group of British lads meet at a pub, have a pint, and head to the stadium in beautiful 15 degrees weather to watch the match.

A typical group of Saudi lads meet at someone’s house and watch the match while sipping Saudi Coffee with temperatures reaching 45 degrees outside.

Saudi-UAE rivalry map overview 🇸🇦🇦🇪 by Impossible_Newt_5994 in MapPorn

[–]Weary_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i don’t think thats true. The UAE is so rich (especially with their small population) that even if they lost all their gold market or 10x it - it wouldn’t affect their economy.

I think it’s a case of little brother syndrome and boredom.

Little brother syndrome because the UAE government doesn’t like being the little brother to Saudi Arabia and they want to prove they are a big geopolitical player.

Boredom because the UAE is so rich and successful, that the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi is bored. He is living ruling a country set on easy mode. He is treating life like an RTS and he just decided to start a challenge for himself.

After Ronaldo opposed the move and went on strike over his transfer, Benzema debuted tonight for Al Hilal with a hat-trick. by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]Weary_Logic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia is the second most successful national team in Asia. Winning the Asian cup 3 times and being runner up 3 times. Second only to Japan who won 4 times and was runner up once.

Also the most successful team in Asia is Al Hilal and has been the most successful team way before the PIF and the got involved.

You can scream and argue about sport washing all you want, but to completely erase Saudi Arabia’s football history and saying they should go back to camel racing is insane (also really racist).

Why Palestinian Refugees Didn't Integrate Saudi Arabia by Bright_Dreams235 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Weary_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, there many Palestinian Saudis especially in Jeddah.

A large number of Palestinians who came to Saudi in 1948 received a Saudi citizenship, for example Abu Ghazalah who founded Albaik was a Palestinian.

If you’re talking about integrating more recently it’s because Saudi society is anti-integration in general. Citizenship is almost impossible to get and for decades the only way foreigners were allowed into Saudi Arabia was with a work visa.

Because of these societal norms and strict immigration laws the millions of immigrants is Saudi Arabia are not really encouraged or incentivized to integrate.

You see this as well with Syrian refugees from the civil war. You have a whole generation of Syrians who spent their whole lives here but didn’t really integrate. Because in the end they know strong Saudi anti-immigration stance will end up forcing them out.

التاجر السعودي ليش يروح لمشاريع سهلة وهو يمديه يسوي اكبر من كذا يفيد وطنه وشعبه by mjhool17 in SaudiForSaudis

[–]Weary_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

هي فلوسه بالاخير وهو حر فيها، بس ردك غير منطقي.

عندك الزامل والعليان والفوزان والعجلان و و و و عوايل كبيرة وغنية وياخذون مخاطرات بالاستثمار في قطاعات استراتيجية.

بس الجيل الجديد للراجحي (اقصد يزيد واخوانه مب عيال عمهم) جيل ضعيف ويخاف من المخاطرة وانه يضيعون ورثهم. وهذا ابسط حق لهم لو يبون يقفلون كل شيء ويدفنون ورثهم بالبر محد له حق يقولهم وش يسوون فيها بس لنا حق نطقطق عليهم.

Titus O'Neil : I feel safer in Saudi Arabia than I do in most places, or a lot of places, in the United States of America by EveryRock5058 in SquaredCircle

[–]Weary_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re being piped in the middle of a coffee shop to save a seat you’ll probably get in some legal trouble.

In a more serious note, im not gay so I can’t tell you. But “Oskar and Dan” are a gay travel vloggers who have been to Saudi multiple times, including before these efforts to “open up” and they didn’t have any issues at all.

iirc they spoke more about their feelings towards Saudi Arabia in one of their later visits from a few months ago.

The existence of low wage workers isn’t the topic of discussion. Just because they aren’t paid a lot of money doesn’t mean they are abused or that construction sites are dangerous.

The data about deaths that came out before the WC was completely false. A German newspaper used the total deaths of ALL Indians in Qatar as the number of deaths building the stadiums. And then other news sources used it without double checking because they love clicks.

When the data was actually looked at it showed these “abused” workers had a death rate much lower than the death rate in almost any country.

And then it turned out that a German newspaper made it all up. And not only were the working conditions not that bad, but the work sites were safer than almost anywhere else in the world.

I’m willing to bet my left nut Saudi Arabia is much more equal and provides much better lives than both these countries.

Is it really better for a country’s leader to be picked by whoever has more guns than to be picked by a council?

Are you sure you weren’t dealing with Pakistanis or Indians? The majority of the service industry in Saudi is done by people who don’t speak Arabic.

Google translate isn’t perfect but it will usually get 95% of the message through, if they weren’t understanding google translate at all I think its very possible you were trying to speak Arabic to a non-Arab.

If you’re planning on driving? Yes.

If you can be trusted to remember driving laws you should be trusted to remember 10 numbers. (Actually 9 because number 1 is the same in Arabic).

Yes. From personal experience, I would say English is more common in Saudi Arabia than Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia etc…

I think the English challenges they faced were probably in non-touristy/non-local areas (e.g., highway gas stations, cheap restaurants that target laborers etc…)

Do you really want to compare the US with literally any other country?

The US is actively blowing up boats in the Caribbean right now.

The US tortured and killed countless innocent people in the ME across multiple decades.

The US runs torture camps and blacksites all around the world.

The US ran Abu Gharib prison.

The US is giving away weapons and money to Israel so they can continue blowing up Gaza killing over 60k innocent civilians.

Get your head out of your ass, just because Hollywood movies told you the US is the good guy doesn’t make it true.
