despite my reservations about a few things he's said lately, I have to say that it would be an improvement over the royals for sure.

The Al-Sauds are hardly prudish, as far as themselves go, Opebo.

Who know about that for sure?  And how is that relevant to how the other 99% of the people live? 

Saudi Arabia would have open immigration of women under 25, legalized prostitution, drug sales, gambling, etc.  Open 24 hours and welcoming all tourists for a $20 admittance fee! 

Any outward signs of muslim-mania or veils/burkhas, etc, would be punishable by immediately being fed to swine however.  The swine would be kept in State-run farms formerly known as Mecca and Medina. Smiley

It wouldn't last. Opebo would try and feed like 80-90% of the popultation to the lions. They'd rise up and overthrow him right away. Either that, or Saudi Arabia will end up being a cross between   1970s-era Las Vegas and your average mismanaged minimum-security prison, only with fewer flashy lights and more grotesque stuff. Also, some very stuffed lions.

No. It would not be an improvement. I would rather blow up myself than let opebo take over any country (except for France of North Korea.)

Um.. Hitchabrut, France isn't all that different from the US.  Saudi Arabia however is a useless wasteland of religion.  As long as I kept selling you oil, why would you care?

There you go.  I really don't see how you can think a pedophile is better than an oppressive king that, although being rather authoritarian, at least the people have food and are not getting killed, and kids are not being sexed up.

I voted NO.

But kids and religious people wouldn't.  That is a lot of people.  And it includes kids.

would it be different? hell yes
would some things improve? of course
would things, in general be better? as a matter of things being good on the whole, probably nothing would change.

Women aren't even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.

Kids would be better off Richius, as they would have more freedom and job opportunities. 

Also there is little chance anyone would run short of food in Opebo Arabia - the income from sex tourism would be enormous, and very widely distributed.
