Re: Saudi Arabia developing democracy?

What a freaking joke.

One of the greatest barometers of a society is how it treats its women.

http://cia.gov/cia/publications/fact...sa.html#People states that the literacy rate for men is 84.7% while its 70.8% for women. There is also a disturbing trend in the sex ratio at different ages groups. At birth, the male:female ratio is 1.05:1. Under 15 years, its 1.04:1. 15-64, its 1.36:1. WTF? What's that all about. Over 65, its 1.18:1. Something funky is happening in the Saudi kingdom.
