<p>Guess what country?</p>

<p>That’s right – Saudia Arabia. It’s God’s will, you know.</p>

2

<p>Yup. And to think that they own us…</p>

3

<p>Whatever happened to all the liberal happy talk about embracing other cultures?</p>

4

<p>Sheesh. You folks need to be more tolerant of the Kingdom. I suggest a trip over to protest en mass in Riyadh.</p>

5

<p>This is yet another heads-up - make sure you understand the laws and customs of the country you plan to visit. This seems to be especially true for the Middle East and much of Africa.</p>

6

<p>^Isn’t that kind of minimizing the adventure of travel? Of course, rotting in a foreign jail has its limits, I suppose…</p>

7

<p>^^ HaHa - yeah. But have you seen those National Geographic shows - Imprisoned Abroad (or something like that)? Scary.</p>

8

<p>This is a conservative country of very pious people. She has a business, is of mideast heritage, probably speaks Arabic. She should have known the score.</p>

9

<p>Just take the 40 lashes and go home the wiser.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, you do have to kind of respect a country’s culture when you’re visiting. . . no matter how reprehensible. I guess it all makes sense to them. And hey, we’re not quite to perfection just yet.</p>

11

<p>This woman is having trouble finding any “respect” for a country’s culture that denies women basic human rights. Obviously, I won’t be visiting any time soon.</p>

12

<p>Hey, we don’t have to go far to embrace their culture - they’ve embraced ours…by owning us. Isn’t that what the benefits of capitalist culture are all about? (and isn’t that why she - and Starbucks - were there?)</p>

13

<p>Barrons, when Liberals talk about embracing other cultures, there is almost always a caveat, that the culture isnt ABUSIVE, or HARRASSING, or SEXIST…imagine that</p>

<p>And these are Bush’s bestest friends- guess if you treat women like that its okay</p>

<p>mini: Too too true.</p>

<p>Kid, Skyped us a few minutes ago from India. He’s being sent to a medical clinic by himself for a few days. What does that have to do with msft and computer science-don’t know. </p>

<p>But I did remind him to respect their culture and if in doubt ASK.</p>
