| Boys driving is a common sight. I guess the fathers are just giving the little f***ers something to do. But recently near my place two 14 year old boys ran over two girls, both under 10 years old, and killed them. The girls were using a crossing and the signal was red, all verified by witnesses. The father, however, had wasta and the court ruled that the boys and girls were equally responsible and no charges were brought. I'm certain that neither the father or the sons lost any sleep over it. |

I guess that's why they say it's a shame-based and not guilt-based society. |

I suppose the moral of this story is, don't cross the streets of Saudi Arabia. |
