    Excerpts from Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad."

    Not entirely surprising that this little diatribe was compiled by a Baptist Bible-thumper ... in my own personal experience, some - but certainly not all by any means - Baptists are some of the most venomous, hateful, intolerant, and utterly hypocritical (so-called) "Christians" that I've ever...

    Modern life in Saudi Arabia.

    Well, I'm not sure that - in hindsight - that is a door that one will ultimately be glad that they opened, when all is said and done. But since someone saw fit to open it, I'll just walk on though (for what are surely obvious reasons) ... even though I personally find it somewhat unseemly to...

    Modern life in Saudi Arabia.
