    Did you see the contract he signed? “Easier to talk here” is just factually incorrect.

      If you’re looking for a factually correct comic, Carlin’s dead.

      Say what you will about repression of free speech in Saudi Arabia (and there is a lot that can be said), at least with a contract you know where the line is. The royal family knows they’re not proponents of free speech.

      America is in that awkward teenage phase of not knowing who they are right now, leaving a lot of ambiguity around free speech.

      I appreciate Saudi Arabia’s clarity. Even if they are objectively wrong. America just seems self-righteously confused, if such a state even exists.
