Women can now Drive in Saudi Arabia

[Saudi Arabia was the only country in the world where women were banned from driving.
The lifting of the ban is part of a programme to modernise some aspects of Saudi society
under the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.]

Well done the Young Leader of Saudi Arabia.

Insurance premiums to go through the roof :laugh:

Seriously though well done ladies

Yeah and don't ya just love Sky news reporter expecting the poor woman to have a full blown conversation whilst driving- very considerate that !

How I felt when I finally got my license @ 30... :love:

It is a bit sad though in this day and age that they've only just gotten that right now......it's a start though I suppose

The new boss seems willing to make changes to grant more equality, but it's very much an up hill struggle. He has to be careful with the pace of change or he will end up out on his ass.

Are they still throwing homosexuals off buildings?

yes, you cant get a license without doing that

Yes,
Gays are illegal in Saudi Arabia.


Everyone knows that

Yes
one Saudi Arabia Lady
is going to be the first Female taxi driver

so can you drive if you are a gay?

Yes
so long as its a secret

Already knew before clicking on the thread that there'd be some 'jokes'.

To know that there are still many more countries that still view women and homosexuals as second best is sad, to say the least. But hopefully the snowball effect will take care of those.

"jokes" is a good way of putting it

you're right, Ashley, time is on our side :blush:

yes lets just have a sombre thread where we all bow our heads and pray for change

:rolleyes:

no, let's just piss ourselves laughing bc people like me get killed for no fault of their own

No you are Fine
you are in GB


Saudi Arabia
is under Strict Muslim Rules
always has been

no one is, its all in your mind

Queens! Run over the men chicas!

silly me

Every nation
has their own laws.
Respect every nation rules
is common sense.


Yesterday
woman were driving
for the first time.
That matters.

Car Sales have now gone up

I'm not discussing it with you Arista. I just don't get why you always have to demand respect for even the most idiotic of laws only because it is a law somewhere.
Law is subject to change and all unjust laws should be changed, not supported or respected. Racial discrimination was a law, persecution of Jews was a law.
Don't you see?

that's not the point
it must be, I guess I should up my meds... now, which one would work best against cruel jokes that are not meant to be funny...
guess I'm not well enough yet for that level of sophistication :shrug:
note to self: reconsider going back to lurking, oh and up the meds

dont be hard on yourself it incredibly hard at times without a voice and face to get the gist of a post

just forum life I guess
