Fairly interesting documentary. Saw it couple weeks back. Biggest thing to take away is that, "change is constant".

While the majority of "Western Democracies", may perceive "Middle Eastern" countries as engaging in taboo behavior through implementing excessive, oppressive rights on women, it wasn't too long ago, that here in America, only "certain individuals" could benefit from abundance resources this country has to offer...

What really caught my attention, was how the Saudi government was gearing the next generation for the technological revolution, in the upcoming years. Lowkey, I was thinking about student loans too. I'm also curious about the potential blow back, social media will have this sheltered culture. Should be interesting to see if more uprisings / political movements, occur from this region. Wouldn't be surprised if divorces and infidelity rose; maybe even a strong atheistic movement / questioning of "gawd" :shaq:

Breh was living the life, with four wives though :manny:

This Prince was beyond swagged out, :wow: couldn't believe, he said, my crew takes "the whole first class" :wow:

A story like any other. Greed, love of money, material things and power sends a leader down the road to oblivion, taking his people with him. When you get to a point where you cant imagine any point to your short life outside of catering to your selfish wants, its a wrap for you.

I like what this prince is about, he is about change towards a democratic society & that's cool. I think the women get treated unfairly over there, but their tradition dates back many centuries. I agreed with him on the most part of what he was talking about, except the part where he says that holding a vote & getting the opinion of people in regards to how women are treated - that women will stick to the old tradition. One, I think they would so out of just simply fear & the point was made earlier how the younger generations are really pushing for more rights.

I also liked how the common folk was able engage with the prince about issues within the community without (seemingly) backlash. Like the one guy hyped about the medical issues
