(v.) The act of swatting an important and/or fragile item from another persons grasp, particularly food, before forcing the owner to pick it up off the ground or otherwise clean-up the mess. The degree of success from "Wilsoning" is proportional to the amount of desire the owner had for the item.

I agree, actually.  The Saudi's, for example, are kept reasonably content because the King spreads money around and that money is due to oil revenue. No oil revenue ...?

True and that locals here are barely educated..BUT in terms of resources to population, their population virtually doesn't exist!!

But the King knows that an educated populace is the ultimate resource and a huge number of 'scholarships' (opportunity for advanced studies in Western countries) are awarded each year.  It's forward thinking should the oil (or demand for oil) dry up.

If I were a King and I knew what I knew, and me knowing what I knew would make me crap loads. Would I tell my people what I knew?

Well what I wanted to say was that the most powerful weapon to oppress, to rule, to hold fort is preventing the masses from useful information, that you might have ;)
Am I making sense or still confusing you ?

That was much better!  Problem is, this control has slipped with the proliferation of satellite TV, cell phones and the internet. They're fighting a losing battle and they know it.

Freshlikesushi

attempts at oppression by saudi are deff failing

i can view your answer in two ways .



Logically even Africa has it owns source . and we have Alharams and a great religion that effected billions of people and we dont charge them for nothing but to be will and polite when they are in that remarkable places .  .

Also well What do UK and USA have ? and had before . effectually we all do change . they made there way !! and im sure we will . we had so many educated people even westren people do learn from them . like alrasi in Human body .. .
