I don't know, Saudi Arabia is pretty industrialized and I'd say that they're beat the US in the crazy religious department.
Edit: And didn't Ireland pass an anti-blasphemy law not too long ago?

Saudi Arabia actually doesn't force the religious laws on non-Muslims, for the most part. They get enough tourists that they don't want to kill such a big source of revenue.

True, but as far as I can remember, one has to be a Muslim to receive citizenship, and no one can deny that they have some very harsh laws for Muslims, especially women. Even female tourists are required to wear an abaya or jilbab in many public areas, although the hijab is optional for non-Muslims (though it's usually recommended that they wear one). Between the segregated restaurants, the laws against women driving, the beheadings for blasphemy, the floggings for women who were raped while in public without a male relativ, etc., I'd say Saudi has the US beat in being overly religious.

True, but it doesn't advertise itself as "the land of freedom", so I can give Saudi Arabia a pass where I put a big "hypocrite" sign on the US of A. And why is it that those who say the most that they are proud to live in this "land of freedom" are those who usually are the fastest to call on the bible to restrict personal freedom? Or is it just my squewed perception of things?

That's basically right, Letipex. The religious asshats are usually the loudest singing "MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE" and fapping to freedom, and the first to try and strip/deny other people's rights based on their silly book of faerie tales. But yes, let us end this derail.

Huh?: Hot lesbians ok, though: Totally not racist: (I know what 'niggardly' means, but there is no way that this sign isn't racial.) The facial expression makes the pic:

Yeah I put up the niggardly sign somewhere in this thread. And of course it's racial--conservatives are NOT complaining that Obama isn't spending enough money.

Where not France?
France isn't located here, that's for sure.
United we stand; say no to tryanny
Why? What's wrong with trying Anny? And why do we have to be united against it?
Obama Care; Hazazoous to your health
You haz a zoo for us? Awesome!
(Why are A, Z, and H highlighted?)
Do Hawaiians have birth certificates?
Why, yes, yes they do. Glad you're so interested in learning. Next question.
Who are the commie czars
Okay, ladies, questions have a question mark at the end of a sentence. It looks like this ---> "?"
Second of all, commie. Or communism. I do not think that word means what you think it means. Same goes for "czar".
Finally, why is one of you wearing an American flag like a cloak? Isn't that an insult to your precious American flag?

Were the people with the Hawaiian birth certificate sign making fun of the birther movement?
