Would you rather live in?

A Sharia State Saudi Arabia Style

OR

An Oppressive Totalitarian Regime Stalin Style

I'm almost certain that we have had this thread before, with possibly those exact choices. Regardless, probably the Stalinist state. I would have a lot easier time lying about my political preferences than I would lying about my religious ones.

At least in an Arabic Theocracy I wouldnt be vaporized for no reason. You know the rules and if you follow em you'd be fine.

Well, I had to vote for the Stalinist state because it's most likely there that I'd be able to rise to the top -- in Saudi Arabia, you'd basically be forced to be forever subservient to the king. But in Russia, any man can rise to the top as long as they are a cunning, ruthless cutthroat that does not care about the means, only the ends.

I voted Stalinist state but this is a good point.

You certainly strike me as the cunning ruthless cutthroat type, Ama.

I don't think pig meat is an option in either country. One due to religion, the other due to, well... you know.

OTSSS because ideology is far easier to dismantle than religion, let alone religious fundamentalism.

A person's rights I assume are also more equal under an OTSSS than Saudi-style sharia law..

Both are radical to the point of being the same.
