#1 Reminds me of a Saudi classmate in college who excoriated me for suggesting that his nation had a desert climate. By his account, the Arabian peninsula was lush with grass and trees, without a single grain of sand anywhere to be found! Just for reference, this was more than 10 years before 9/11. Wonder whatever happened to that kid....

This shouldn't take long.

#3 They're very keen on family, Parabellum. Granted, it's not as if there are many other choices for amusement and society, and their idea of family is more than a bit twisted, but at a superficial level it still could be considered a good thing. And they're very religious, if only because its a required subject in school, and because the morality police will beat the men if they're caught not praying at the proper time. Still, piety is good, right?

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:
"You might be a Saudi Arabian if....your family tree don't branch."
