Well, I decided to bring my very short lived show "Respect the Opinion".

So what s Respect the Opinion for those of you that never heard of it? Its simply a show where I go online and check all the news, technology, political sitees, and etc.. and find some artical that I have a passionat oinion about and then just ramble about it like a nut case :)

So why the title? simple I excpect those listining to the show to respect my opinions, you don't have to agree with them just respect them, and if you have a similar, or opposing opinion on the matter just email it to me and I'll read it on the show, or better yet just email me a voice recording of your opinion and I'll add it to the show.

I hope you enjoy this show and I look forward to your feedback.

Well, I got a new episode out, looks like I'm doing ok with getting them out, lets keep it up.

In todays episode I cover drugs, minorities, pets, and a strict government.

Royal family support, wealth, my safety, saudi women and none saudi women

Am back and am answering more listener questions.

Keep emailing your comments and questions.

In this episode I cover some questions I received by email: 

can you explain why Saudi Arabia does not nurture their human resources especially women? 

Recently there has been talk of letting women drive?

How does such a strict society cope with men hanging out of cars waving their phone number written on a piece of cardboard at women in cars? 

I know that there is a lot of tension between the Saudis and Iran.  Do the Saudis view the Iranians as part of the broader Muslim community as a partner in opposition to Israel and the United States, or as a completely heretical, foreign group?

What awareness, if any, do the Saudis have of the political dialog within the west.  Are people in your country familiar with western leaders such as George Galloway who often take their side in disputes with the west?

A Saudi Life is back with listeners questions.

Do you want the show back?
