What? U.S. $ 2350? Only for a stroller? Only for a baby who is in the growth process? Ah, too wasteful, and very un-Christian.

What is indicated by this news does not reflect what was taught by Jesus of Nazareth -- central figure of Christianity -- about the simplicity and frugality. A royal baby should also be taught for charity to other poor babies.

If you baptize your baby without understanding its purpose, you better take him to the baby pool to swim and have fun there than undergo a series of formalities in church activities.

'No Woman, No Drive!' Saudi women to keep fighting against driving ban

I think the problem is more ridiculous than just driving. When we -- the women in developed countries -- have been adept at driving the vehicle and we are also able to participate in car racing championship, if we want it, you -- the women in Saudi Arabia are still struggling and preoccupied with permission the allowed to drive. Regulations in Saudi Arabia dramatizing a little thing as if it was a big deal. Only the group of stupid people who would do that.
I am also guessing whether by allowing the Saudi women driving all types of vehicles then the Arab men feel to compete with the car gear stick.

When on a lonely night (Note: actually there is no lonely nights in this town, but people with loneliness in their hearts, and do not ask me why do they still feel lonely in a crowded city) I drove one of my fiance cars --- while listening to nostalgic music, I felt very grateful for the legal system in our country because it had been allowed me to do all of it alone (using his car, got his permission to go alone), even I've arrived at the intersection of several questions, "Where are you going to drive his car, Cisca?" --- I felt I had to respect the freedom that had been given by my fiance as well as possible : immediately went home and waited for him until he returned and killed my wild mind to call him or made an appointment to have a romantic evening with him him.
OP-ED : Behind the Saudi crack-up

Hmm, Syria is more beautiful than Saudi Arabia. Why Russia should be aroused by your temptations, Arab moron? Ah, it's just a nightmare! Fuhgeddaboudit. So, do not tempt Russia when it actually want to slap you, understand?
