or Russia? Russia bans gay marriage sure but compared to Qatar or UAE it is liberal as hell in many regards.

Good god, shes freaking hot.

Maybe “we” shouldn’t have done everything possible to turn the Gulf monarchies into major regional powers. But, evidently, more influential people than the Bushes benefit.

I don’t disagree that there are all sorts of issues with Qatar and its neighbours, but the people you meet when you live here aren’t one homogenous mass. Most of them are very pleasant- much like, I suppose, most Americans. But reading the news on the internet, it would be very easy to presume that the whole of the US…

Yeah, sadly, the reason we put up with these people has changed over the last several years. We don’t get much oil from them anymore, but we do rely on the more repressive regimes to hold the line against ISIL.

“The blackouts are starting again.......Like the ones I used to have in high school.........Around the same time all those little girls started disappearing...”

The US doesn’t really import much oil from the Middle East. We produce almost 40% of what we use ourselves, and most of our imports are from Latin America and Canada. Only about 12% of our imports are from Gulf states. The problem is that it’s a commodity, so it doesn’t matter where you buy it from: it’s all sold at…

I saw Testicular Contusion open for Megadeth at the Civic Arena in 1988.

We get almost all our oil from ourselves, Canada, and south of the border. Relatively little of our oil comes from the Middle East. If we bought nothing from them, they would just sell it to the French, Chinese, Indians, and so on.

Never happen, not with oil prices so low after the Saudis glutted the market.

I wish we could not use so much oil. That would be even better.

The Religion of Peace strikes again.

I wish we could get our oil from someplace reasonable like Norway and let these backwards ass religious freaks sink back into poverty and get back to living in tents and chopping each others heads off.

Who amongst us hasn’t had to circle back through drive in after eating someone else’s fries. It starts with the bag loosies and next thing you know...

Im surprised the food even made it there.

I dont get why these fucking ragheads dont leave and go live in some backwards ass shithole and practice their backwards ass religion there instead of living in America.

For years I thought the guy from Simply Red was black.

Now youre just being gross.

And box wine.

We also like Beyoncé and cats.
