okay, okay... uhm... uhhhhmmmmmm....
That is a different thing from the majority wanting to make it illegal. In a democracy, they can do that and that's a shortcoming of the system (in a democracy made up of two very different cultures, the minority simply has no influence at all; that is not a fair system).
You can't please everyone, so focus on majority.
LGBT rights? They don't give a duck about it.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. They may also just have learned to keep quiet to avoid trouble. That doesn't mean they are happy with the situation.
They actually don't, because here their rights are someones political points, and they've accepted this place as what it is, as they have found the balance of what is acceptable.
if a person has enough ambition, it can acomplish anything, whatever the gender.
That is obviously incorrect.....
Actually it is. Don't take examples such as wheelchair guy can win the run race on 100 meters against Usain Bolt, that's obviously not possible. BUT, the point here is that for most of us ambition is the key. Imagine you're born in some poor african country. Yet, there are people who menaged to get out of poverty. Little number, but still possible. And they even had less chances than most of us. (this is a complex question, I can go further in another post if you want Shevek).
In your entire reply, I sense that you do not believe anything will ever change. + country 1 & country 2, saudi arabia
All out liberalism isn't a good thing, just as saudi arabian system isn't a good thing, but that is just my opinion, and I wont force it on anyone. You can always emigrate to another place you prefer more.
As for changes, from a long list of wars on this motherducking peninsula where I live, things change rarely, and (especially in modern times) under the influence of some higher powers. If America keeps firm hold of this area, we will strive for liberalism (or some twisted version of it). If Russia gets the upper hand, fag marriage will be illegal. In both cases, the change will be credited to the people, which is untrue. The only historical change that had nothing to do with government (at least, I still can't figure that out completely how) were the sixties in America.
