Yeah, the country is one of the worst places in the world, and as much as the republicans cry about sharia law, they are actually one of our top allies. Because oil. And given the pipeline they built through America I'd say our government has no intention of getting off of oil reliance any time soon.
No; you actually become so favored by the government if you saw that sex and alcohol are not forbidden; in that atheism is allowed; but if you speak about communism or socialism or secularism that brings down the government; you're dead.
For that reason I think the U.S's foreign policy is very sick: allies like SA should become despised from a very long time; virtue must be a companion for ruling; something secular systems still suffer from: when you chase interest only, you make the mistake of befriending countries like SA; even if it was a short-term alliance.

There's no escaping that one.
The goal behind a fine torture is to end that sense of reality feeling inside of you.
If you are a rational, strong person, there are always ways to break you, making the moment feel like 100 years. There's even methods of torture and killing designed specifically to prolong the time of death:

I doubt that victims remember death when they are skinned alive. The shock will just takeover.
