I think that depends entirely on where you take that pole. You take it in Saudi Arabia, then they will say they are both vile porn (if they could even identify an open anus, which I doubt). There are only so many ways you can define a concept. If you aren't going to define it by the motivation in creating it, then what? By…
to be fair israels viloation of un resolutions has been backed by both parties but the point is that if the US tells the world that we respect the rule of law we must be true to our word, saying one dictator is bad (saddam) because he is agaisnt our policies but supporting another one (mubarak of eygpt) is a double…
Mark Dygert: "His death doesn't change much other than the west might take its big nose out of the middle east now that it feels like it accomplished something." The west will never take their big nose out of the middle east. Even though they left Iraq, they still have the world's largest military base as well as 50,000…
I know a number of people who have gone to work in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. If Egypt is run anything like those countries then I would recommend against going. It is very likely that the take home pay will be far lower than advertised. Her working and living conditions will likely be worse than she is expecting. She will…

This issue has been troubling me for some time. Why it seems that about 90% of sci-fi artists seem to be stuck in 80s (sometimes 70s) when it comes to sci-fi? I mean look at most sci-fi corridors. They look like they are either from Alien (1979) or some Star Wars movies. Why are all these tubes and maintenance panels are…
@fdfxd2, one of the highlights for me over the years has been seeing game development growing in parts of the world I never imagined had the infrastructure to support it. I grew up in Saudi Arabia during a time when you'd buy a computer from a merchant in Dammam and go to the back room to pick out all the pirated software…
My dad is pretty cool. My folks are living in Saudi Arabia right now and I don't see to much of them. My dad has always worked very hard, and done a good job (as a geophysicist), and I really respect him for that. He can be a bit pushy and shortsighted, but he is a reasonable guy who has always been there for me when I…
Frank: regarding WTC7, you might find this interesting .. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/pullIt3.wmv from here - http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/cutter.html I have no question about saudis flying the planes, especially since the House of Saud involvement in world banks, american investment groups, and…
I do outsoucring for a company in NYC and live in low cost Oklahoma. That means that if you are living in NYC I just stole your job! HA HA HA losers! In fact, I think you would have to be stupid to stay in the US. My folks live in Saudi Arabia and love it (which goes to show that outsourcing is a 2-way street). I'm getting…
