Why people think Saudi Arabia is a shithole?

[Anonymous]

I think people are jealous of us because we have oil, power, money and Saudi Arabia was located in a very strategic place also Its the where best person in history prophet Mohammed, Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was borned.

[JimRSmith]

Very few people indeed are 'jealous' of you.

Your country has a serious image problem. You're not actually helping that yourself.

I'm personally pretty pro-Saudi. I think the dynasty has done reasonably well in terms of moderating the extremism of the population, and then that's all thrown away because of the Khashoggi assassination.

The main threat to peace in the Middle East is Iran, and Saudi Arabia is a counterbalance against that.

[ImpressiveUsername]

No one is jealous of Saudi Arabia. As the developed world finds alternative methods to extract oil, and tilts focus towards renewable energy, your wealth will dry up. You're going to be Venezuela in 100 years.

[Asker]

We already have so much investments
We are rich and will always be rich.

[ImpressiveUsername]

The royal family is rich, the medium income in Saudi Arabia trails behind fucking Ireland. If you switch that up to the median income of all adults, it doesn't even rank in the top 30 nations. Your GDP ranks behind Mexico. Your nation is not rich.

So, you know, fuck off.

[Asker]

That's because of foreign workers from South Asia.
They came here and earn shit money. But local Arabs mostly earn good amounts of money.

[Asker]

I am rich myself.

[ImpressiveUsername]

Yeah, blame it on your underclass. 🤣

Your personal wealth has no bearing on your nations value. Congratulations, you have money, you still live in a shithole.

[Asker]

Our underclass is not even Saudi.
They are mostly foreign workers from South Asia

[ImpressiveUsername]

They're your scapegoat. How you view and treat them speaks of your contempt for them, and speaks volumes of your lack of character. You're a product of your environment though, and that's why I can't stand Saudi Arabia.

[lebanese_girl23]

@ImpressiveUsername nobody's care about what indians earn they are not arab arab in saudi are rich.

[lebanese_girl23]

Why would someone care about indians who are not citizen of Saudi Arabia?

[Canadian0167]

@lebanese_girl23 Why wouldn’t a country care for all the people in its borders? Saudi and most Middle East is a backwards shit hole!!!

[weasley8]

Didn’t women just gain the right to drive there?

People’s problems with the country have less to do with its wealth and more to do with social issues. As a woman, I wouldn’t want to live, or even visit, somewhere where I have virtually no rights. The driving thing is a step in the right direction, but there are many more yet to be taken.

[lebanese_girl23]

Would you rather choose to be a rich Saudi women or poor American women?

[Nahliability]

As a woman who can roam the streets freely in any clothes she like over here in Europe, I have a very good reason never wanting to visit Saudi Arabia. I wouldn't say the country is a shithole, I just personally think that there's room for a lot of improvement for large parts of the population.

[Asker]

So you saying woman walking around half naked is a good think? Lol
Looks like immorality is very widespreaded in Europe than I Immagined.

[ImpressiveUsername]

Why can't women sign contracts? Why does she need a man accompanying her in public?

[Nahliability]

Did I say half naked? Nah. But even if that was what I meant, isn't it more immoral to limit people in their personal freedom than it is to wear a short skirt?

[AlexanderBrunnrgaard]

I don't know. It's clearly not a shithole but a very prosperous country. But it's also a dictatorship under Islam and up until recently women couldn't even drive cars.

Mohammed isn't the best person in history. Faaaaar from it.

The US and Norway have oil too. And Saudi Arabia really isn't strategic. From a military standpoint it would be easy to invade.

[patrickjvv]

If by "we" you mean the royal family, then yes you do have oil, power and money. If by "we" you mean the population then I guess, if you're content with the meager scraps the Saud family throws at the population to keep them from revolting.

[RolandCuthbert]

I don't think Saudi Arabia is a shithole. Nor do I have anything against Saudi Arabian citizens.

I just think your regime is oppressive, restrictive and backwards. If you like the royal family and the way they rule, more power to you.

[reptocarl]

Because if you didn’t have oil the rest of the world would have nothing to do with you backward pieces of shit. Mostly because of your treatment of women

[dantetheexplorer]

When is Saudi Arabia going to buy an English Premier League club?

[MyExperience]

I dont really think about Saudi Arabia much except when seeing news reports of your prince killing journalists or others he doesn’t agree with.

[boggboss]

Because although u have long and resources it's acts like a 3rd world country with bearly any regard to rights off the people

[lebanese_girl23]

Lol 3rd world country that's why they are rich africa is third world not rich saudi arabia.

[boggboss]

I said act they act like a 3rd world country I know they are not everyone knows that but when u act in a manner that's clearly wrong u get called out on it

[the-mad-german]

Because they throw stones at people till they are dead and call that justice.

[Asker]

Our punishments are indimitating, that's why crime rates are very low here.

[Anonymous]

It’s a garbage country filled with religious retardedness where people worship and illiterate pedophile merchant warmonger and is filled with asshole oil embargoes who are in bed with American oil assholes when we actually don’t need oil for fuel.

[Asker]

Without our oil, you would drive donkeys and camels.

[Opinion Owner]

No your wives are safe.

We would drive electric cars and the water fuel cell wouldn’t have been destroyed.

[OfDeath]

Where project Mohammed was "borned" lol. Come on man.

Saudi Arabia is a fucked up country. It's run by sharia law which is stupid.

[Asker]

Fucked up?
Dude, We are richer than you.
Also what's wrong with sharia laws?
We are Muslims and our country is a Muslim country. A Muslim country should governed by sharia laws. Allah wants it.

[OfDeath]

Allah isn't real.

[OfDeath]

It's like basing the law on Sesame Street

[Asker]

It's your opinion

[OfDeath]

You are also not richer. Australia is currently 14th on GDP and Saudi Arabia is 19th and your population is bigger than ours.

[Asker]

Even just say Allah is not real (It's real) still I would support sharia laws.
There is nearly no theft, rape etc. in Saudi Arabia because punishments in Sharia laws are indimitating.
If I drop my wallet in street nobody would take it because everybody know they will lose one of their hands if they took my wallet.

[Asker]

We are rich dude. Our gdp is low because we have so much foreign workers here who earns shit money but Local Arabs like me earns very well.

[OfDeath]

Allah is not real. Have you ever actually seen Allah? 5 people being rich and then oppressing everyone doesn't make for a good country.

[OfDeath]

Australia also has bigger oil reserves than you which are untapped.

[ImpressiveUsername]

Your nation is not rich. 🤣

[OfDeath]

@ImpressiveUsername not rich? The economy of Australia is a large mixed-market economy, with a GDP of A$1.69 trillion as of 2017. In 2018 Australia overtook Switzerland, and became the country with the largest median wealth per adult. ... Australia has the eighth-highest total estimated value of natural resources, valued at US$19.9 trillion in 2016. Australia has a better quality of life for the average person than the United states. So lick my balls.

[ImpressiveUsername]

Calm down fucko, I was speaking about Saudi Arabia.

[OfDeath]

@ImpressiveUsername thought you meant me. Well you know now anyway

[ImpressiveUsername]

And knowing is half the battle.

[OfDeath]

@ImpressiveUsername yep

[ForbesMagazine]

Religious and cultural differences I think. I personally don't believe Saudi Arabia is a "shithole" as it's an industrialized country with a relatively high standard of living.

[Anonymous]

As a woman I could never live there.
You don't have oil, power or money the Saudi royal family has.

[Anonymous]

Astaghfirullah habibi keep it low down to earth or else the devils in hell are ready to whip dat butt of yours

[John_Doesnt]

Because Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country and all Muslim countries are shitholes.

[lebanese_girl23]

Saudi are rich all muslim countries are not shit hole

[killer4212]

I think its a good country. Low crime and I've always found Arabs to be joyful people lmao. They're funny

[HeyThere94]

It’s a religious authoritarian shithole with no freedom

[Anonymous]

Any country that isn't run by a Western European sucks

[lebanese_girl23]

It don't

[BornFree]

It’s a fucked up primitive country

[LesbianBusinessWoman]

Their laws are from the Stone Age

[CT_CD]

I'm jealous of your oil, power and money

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't want to go there.

[Tanisa]

because it is lol

[Gavyn]

Because it is. XD

[Asker]

We are richer than you

[Gavyn]

Cool. But the middle east is where the vast majority of terrorist attacks originate from. The people there are what make it awful. It's also got a toxic culture when it comes to women.

[Joker_]

Because it is
