Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists
 
Following up to David Horne, _the_ chancellor of the duchy of
besses o' th' barn and prestwich tesco 24h offy

This came up in conversation with the NZ cussies, but i'm not
much atracted to SE Asia.


Have you been to Thailand? Parts of it, and other countries in the area
can be achingly beautiful- even the famous tourist spots, like Phang Nga
Bay.


No, I'm sure its nice. If I ever bother with long flights it will
almost certainly be south America as first choice, maybe combined
with the Galapagos. Other choice would be Antarctica. Or combine
Antarctica with Patagonia. I would also like to see the Himalaya.
But at the moment I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with the
Scottish islands, off to Unst again in a few weeks.Then there's
the bits of Spain I haven't done, Ibiza, Gran Canaria and
Alicante, winter for those three I think.

Strange as it may seem, millions of over hairy sweaty men crushed
together under the sun isn't exactly my idea of a good time either!

Really? I thought faggots enjoyed that sort of thing?


Isn't it offensive to call someone a faggot unless you are their
friend?


Probably. Isn't "offensive" what this thread is about?


OK, that got a LOL!

It seems to me its the pollution that's a bigger hurdle than the
fuel.


If we can diversify the types of fuel we use, the pollution issue
shouldn't be such a problem. It's the almost sole use of fossil fuels
that causes the imbalance.


doesn't burning bio diesel has the same problem as mineral oil?


Pretty much, yes. But then bio diesel is practically a fossil fuel,
even if it's not.

Seems to me the rest of the world is looking for oil alternatives
and trying them out while the Saudis have barely woken up to not
training medieval religious fanatics.


Alternatives like ... ummm ... ahhh ... oh yes, nuclear power.

The Saudis really are behind, aren't they.


They have so much money that it's not really important.

But would you want them as neighbours?

Of course not - no-one wants to live next to darkies, with their nasty
cooking smells.

Mr B;

(Actually if one of the girls from Iran moved in next door I'd be
hoping that "love thy neighbour" was not just an infidel Christian
notion)

Their food is about the only part I admire about them!

If oil becomes a product you grow in fields in the future, it
might be fresh water that will be the new gold. The Saudis are
probably stuffed, either way.


There are a number of technologies that provide oil from algae, which
needs nothing but sun and space, something a large desert country
would have no problem providing.


Does it have to be fresh water?

How about their natural sense of rhythm, their ability to jump, or their
big dicks?


I'll stick with the food, if it's alright with you.

Infidels aren't allowed to witness the Haj. Especially those snarking
on someone else's religion.



I think we should drop a big fat nuclear bomb on Mecca druing the Haj...
