    In the 6 months I spent there I saw them. I too would not want to admit it if I were you.

    Nope. It means the well worn path to life giving water.

    No. I am not that old. In my early 30s. I was actually there as a civilian on a contract.

    Actually its not a stunt and has been in the works for years. First they implemented traffic laws.. Then trained and deployed traffic cops, then developed rest stops and gas station facilities to accommodate women and families.

    Good that the #1 state sponsor of terrorism and leading haters of women's rights has now decided to let some women drive - so long as they have a mans approval.

    We had this conversation before, Margot. You ok? We went back and forth with my entire personnel work there. You then kept asking me every place I went and I proceeded to answer.

    Feel free to go back in your history as a refresher.

    Depending on the city their activities have waxxed and waned since they showed up after the Iranian Revolution. and they a considered pests. Periodically the government rounds them up for retraining.. because often they exceed their authority.

    Why are the religious police so strict about people playing music in public places?

    Or is this another instance you've never heard of before in your 20 years there....

    This is great news. They are getting the right to drive a car shortly after cars were able to drive themselves!

    Yes, sanctioned shops play music. I actually was told how to get approval to play when I was there. I also witnessed the religious police in a mall harassing a woman who wanted to privately listen to a CD.

    They also harassed my boss for being an uncovered woman.

    Why did you bring up cars/taxis? Those aren't public places...those are vehicles lol.

    So what about the Israeli -Saudi IronClad Agreement executed recently? I thought Israel was this great democracy, why are they allying themselves with the Filthy Women Hating regime in KSA? What's up with THAT???

    Read Here About this Disgusting Alliance that is firmly against Women.

    The US is, was and always will be the World benefactor. As for Donald Trump, it is refreshing to finally get us a president who speaks his mind.

    Say, did you hear, the Supreme Court has upheld Muslim ban? Where there’s a smoke... :juggle:
