#1 Missing from that entire thread: any mention of or anything to do with MAGA. I'm not even sure what it is I saw - bizarre.

#2 Agreed, Rex Mundi — the poster is wrong to connect this to MAGA, though it does reveal his prejudices.

How many of the tweeted responses in that thread are fakes trying to cause trouble?

#3 In Dhahran where hundreds of Americans lived from 1933 to today on a permanent basis (largest common community of US citizen outside the US on a continuious basis, Note: While more Americans live in London, but they don't know each other or work for the same company, in other words they are disconnected form each other and have no common bond. Dhahran is totally different.). Anyway.... we had Jewish American Aramcons working there, some for decades. Saudi government (SAG) knew this, The locals knew this too. To all of us, it didn't matter. There was no animosity. What mattered to all of us was our work to maintain drilling programs in the Rub, and to produce, transport to across the desert and process the oil for export at RT (Ras Tanura) and later at Yanbu. My Saudi friends are saddened to watch what's unfolding today. It's not logical, nor justified to see what many people are led to think these days. The ability to broadcast worldwide, unsubstantiated, idiotic ideas at zero marginal cost to each author leads to huge amounts of mass ignorance. Bad ideas spread at the speed of light, while measured, mature and thoughtful understanding moves at the speed of molasses. Wisdom takes time to take root....while ignorance comes in the window at the speed of a chaotic riot on alcohol. My friends and colleagues from Dhahran in Aramco long for the days of our real tolerance toward each other. We lived it daily. Today, it's becoming a total mess. Sorry to say, but I fear for the future. I will be gone someday....but my children will be forced to deal with the fallout. Good luck with that.......

#4 Back in the day they said the same thing about prostitution, gambling and billiards destroying the moral fabric of our society. Some people will do it, some won't.

#5 Hoib, vey! The Burgers know...

McViper got very concerned.
"Does it show?"
"Well, your spotted skin's turned
Rightside-out and your head's
Glowing natural Red,
As in 'pot'..."
"You'd have thought I'd have learned."

#7 Poor Candace. Her argument amounts to "Anyone who even sees a bottle of alcohol will become an alcoholic."

#8 Hey OspasDhahran!

I was in Dhahran from 1958 to 1970. 1st flight there was on a ARAMCO DC-6.

Everything is connected to MAGA these days. (Sarcasm)
