How pathetic is that? Wouldn't be better if they simply updated their laws? I guess human nature trumps stupid religious rules everytime.

I think the study is not accurate, the real percentage is 100% !

In saudi arabia, the only way a guy can meet a girl is through bluetooth, so you see everyone in Malls around riyadh opening bluetooth and sending messages to girls, if the girl gets back with a message containing her phone number, the guy is considered to have scored and they call it "Raggam" (رقم), the guys go to the mall for the purpose of "Targeem", or collecting girls phone numbers .

Obviously since Bluetooth was a major success in saudi arabia, teens use it to swap video clips rangining from porn clips, to arabised japanese anime videos, to violant videos, personally i have very strange videos on my mobile, local one's, in one video a saudi citizin seduces a Dog with a piece of chicken, only to put some benzene on him and burn him, with his friends watching and laughing, thats the idea of a joke apparently for those people !

another video titled "Saudi skating" includes teens stepping outside a speeding car on a highway (the car must be running at least 80Km/hr), to use their slippers for skating ! some very dangeruos stunt indeed .

Porn clips spread like fire in the country, the most famous two are probably the alleged "Nancy ajram" and "Haifa wehbe" clips.

It's very Normal. In Suadi Arabia, men are at allowed to touch girls, men are not allowed to see girls without hijap, men are not allowed to talk to girls, and men there don't know anything about girls..... So, it is very normal to have people like that in an abnormal country like that...

لقد كنت افكر اليوم بشق يرتبط بهذا الموضوع وهو : كيف يمكن تحدبيد الهوية السعودية ( اقصد هوية الشطكل ) ان كنا لا نر اي سعودية دون حجاب اي انه لا يوجد في راسنا صورة واحدة عن شكل السعوديات وهذا امر خطير جدا ومن المؤكد انه يجعل صور كتلك متداولة .

It is common everywhere actually, not just in KSA.

But what makes it extra interesting in KSA, that this shows only how hypocrate the regime is, and how frustrated the men are!

[arbre]

i was told exactely the same thing about Syria by a friend who was on a scholarship there last year... so no need to look so far away...

[rainman]

C'est la mer à boire au KSA.
Tout ce qui est défendu est convoité, mais c'est clair!!
La perversité, et la déchéance commence dans les milieux les plus stricts.
Kil chi min Min ta7et la ta7et .
Mais c'est le système qui impose ce comportement qu'il faut vaincre...
A un certain moment le chien battu qui passe des journées entières attaché au coin du jardin développe une agression, une haine, mais il a peur de son maitre qd meme... Il a deux choix. Il continue de recevoir des coups et se soumettre tout en haissant, ou bien il attaque son agresseur et se venge.
