Would the Middle East be more liberal if it had an active porn industry?

Cos I've been reading a lot about Saudi Arabia/ Iran recently and these dudes really need to lighten up on their women.

Apparently criticising Saudi Arabia is no taboo. Hilarious considering one of the most critical books I just read of it was by a well-respected female journalist.

It's shocking, but obviously ILX doesn't want to offend any Saudian who might be reading (if they can get to the internet without being shot or something).

Not taboo, just kind of stating the obvious. I.e., boring.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

fucking annoying.

Yeah but maybe the ILXors can go in and say stuff like, "It is okay to accept everyone - and we should all shower together and no one will be aroused because we don't get aroused by naked people, really, that's all just a lie. Just accept everyone - unless they disagree with us in which case they are evil and must be shot, but people with our opinions are great."

look, idiot boy, if you tried phrasing it as considered as her perhaps you wouldn't get locked. or maybe she'll be assassinated like Van Gogh next week? who knows - dare we take the risks...

Uh... Kilroy basically degraded every muslim on the planet.

Like I said, the more reading I do on Saudi and Iran the more shocked I am at how bad their human rights record is.

Hi ILE! I hate you.

Says the prick who once told me I should "go piss on a pylon" for disagreeing with him. Twat.

Do you know that it doesn't have an active porn industry?

― RS LaRue (rockist_scientist), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

No.

oh he's just having a bit of fun. we'd probably get on fine with him in real life...not that WE all think and feel the same things of course, oh no...

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

additionally Calum, you repeatedly fail to recognise that starting three threads around the same time that address (poorly, initially) the same subject is a good enough reason to lock two of those threads. may i recommend you stick to one a day if you really want to keep doing this at all?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

I really want to be able to visit Saudi one day. It sounds like it would be really interesting. I'm banned from Mecca though. Everyone is, it would seem. The big grumpy smelly pants.

Are you trying to tell me that you've only just discovered that Saudi Arabia has a bad human rights record? Are you related George Bush by any chance?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

No, of course I knew. Just not to the extent that reading investigations have revealed.

― CC72, Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Say, Calum, have you been reading up recently? On Saudi Arabia and Iran for example? I think we should be told.

They might not be more liberal but they'd certainly be less conservative.
