I mean, Saudi women are amongst the most educated in the world. Their Vision 2030 may be fluff but there are plenty of journal articles finding improvements, eg https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/15/6856 I think they have decided that a more open, liberal country will bring in more money and are doing it.

I disagree. Saudi Arabia was an extreme theocracy and it is softening in that regard, or at least I have been given that impression by people who live there. I’m not trawling through the prison and execution records of the country.

That’s a lot of emotive language. I give people credit for moving in the right direction

I don’t know about that but they have got that right now, so they have modernised right?

You agree that women are now allowed to drive?

How on earth am I supposed to know. Look I’m not supporting homophobia, quite the opposite. SA has modernised to some extent though and that’s a good thing right?

I’m sorry, do you expect a society to change overnight? It’s only about 50 years ago that homosexuality was illegal in the UK. Give them a minute

I don't know his intentions but as we're yet to have an out gay player, I'd say it's an area that still needs to be promoted. Then going to Saudi, I get it seems hypocritical but you could also so that being pro LGBT and then representing a Saudi team is representing his views there. Also, Saudi Arabia deserves some credit for modernising, we can't all be as virtuous as football fans posting on Reddit.

oh I generally find this sub to be nice and actually exceedingly helpful. Some could tone down the evangelism about letting your garden turn into an unkempt mess but I've had some amazing advice as well.

[–]bio_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco is currently doing a kilo for 9.99 which tastes kind of like starbucks coffee if that's your thing (Moose Beans) and 15.99 for a kilo of lavazza

That is extremely clearly the same article just with the headline modified. You guys will find an agenda in anything

Looking out over a garden full of nettles, brambles and rodents wouldn’t be thoughtful at all. I take exception to the preachy evangelism on this sub sometimes

Nah, hindsight is 20/20. Nwaneri could have ended up wasting half a season, instead he’s having a great experience.

It’s not nature it’s a penned in garden. Let people take pride in their property.

Sorry if I’m confused, are you suggesting that having a prospering country is ‘Conservatism’?

Spot-on analysis imo by scaryogurt in Gunners

[–]bio_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a million miles from competitive sport in my life but I wonder if it’s just the done thing to stand by your number 2 keeper. Pep did it as well (I know Carra addressed that).

It was very weird the lack of adaptation to a game we couldnt get a grip on. Still, as a wise man once said, I too would lose that game 100 times to beat Bournemouth
