Contrary to what many people seem to believe, it is not generally possible for a westerner to go and watch a public execution in the Arab countries, which still perform them.

These events are strictly policed, and people who are obviously not Arabs will be turned away by the police.

I used to work for a company which had an office in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from where it was apparently possible to see these events (with binoculars) from one end of the building.

One of the managers, whom I later did work with, apparently used to schedule meetings in Jeddah to coincide with these executions, and was observed watching them through binoculars.

Would you do this, if you were given the opportunity, and what would your opinion be, of those who did?

Want my honest opinion? They look awful, on both men and women. It's the point where they start to look less like "shorts" and more like "underwear" to me. It's just way too much bare leg. It's not appropriate for any public place except for maybe the beach. I don't want to see an entire bare leg basically completely uncovered.

I see stuff like this more on women, but some men like to break norms and wear shorter shorts too... regardless, it looks awful.

Now knee length shorts, below the knee, or slightly above look fine.

But stuff like the above pictures need to go away ASAP. It's never that hot people! Put your damn thighs away!

All the passengers died violently leaving a 35 foot crater. Without his direct grounding of the 737 max, would this have happened on American soil? With his clear leadership bringing about change in Venezuela without use of military force hasn't Donald Trump earned some bragging rights?

The 737 max tragedies that have struck needed quick direct action from a president with no fear of reprisal against him for acting on his opinion. This is no obviously without a doubt what was necessary to protect the American people. I also like his labeling of militant Iranian forces as terrorists for calling for the execution of any American they can find. These hard decisions without out remorse are the hallmark of the Trump presidency.

I also support his hard line support for US allies while cutting financial benefits for enemies of our country. The financial pressure he placed on Venezuela is a prime example of fighting our enemies with the wallet over the gun. He ended Chinese imperialism with a word instead of a gun. He's causing reform of gay rights in Iran the same way. These policies have saved hundreds of American troops and will save countless more.

I may disagree with Donald Trump on making a wall over cutting all benefits to immigrants to give them incentive to become citizens, but this open forum public debate on these topics is why he says controversial things so that the best ideas come to light for him to choose from. This is what he did to bring peace to the Korean peninsula and this is what should be done to govern the deal going forward in the coming weeks.

This identity politics that the Democrats have been playing have lead straight towards bullshit socialist policies like the green deal which aim to push America towards communist China and cripple it to allow Iran to destroy Israel. As an American I say give me liberty or give me death. These times call for a strong leader to oppose communist influence in America.

I'm having a debate with two people on here that are saying that women should be walking around topless in public over here in the US. I explained to them that women have mammary glands, and large breasts indicate high amounts of estrogen and therefore high fertility, and this is why breasts are seen as sexual organs and make men sexually excited. I told them even if they deny the biology as to why, then they should still abide to societal standards to some extent, as everyone will think you're trash if you're walking around topless in a city to prove some point out there in the ether.

The girl told me it's a double standard, and I told her that men don't have mammary glands or organs to showcase high fertility. The primary male sex hormone is testosterone, and high amounts of testosterone mean a lot of muscle mass, which is sexually attractive to women, because again, it represents strong fertility. Estrogen in men is not sexually attractive.

I literally explained all of this, and these two are still telling me I'm wrong and how I'm this prude religious nut and how they shouldn't have to go out of their way to care about people's opinions like mine lol. I told them they don't need to care, as that's their prerogative, but I'm not the only one who will think they're dirty hippies for the reasons why this is not normal is literally set within our biology, not evil sexist men with an agenda out there in the ether.
