Another eye opening example

Libertines question Saudi Arabian firm adherence to sharia law. Before thinking the United States is so superior let me give you a simple example.

Saudi Arabia is harsh toward robbers and thieves. In the United States many municipalities are unable to even plant flowers and trees because usually that very night the actual plants and trees will be stolen. Attempts to replant barren landscapes have resulted in even the cheapest and smallest of flowers being stolen.

People are stealing metal for money obtained by selling to recylers. They have stolen metal everywhere they can lay their hands on it. Houses under construction are sacked. Religious and government objects of metal are stolen. Traffic safety devices are stolen. It is a part of everyday society now that it is assumed that anything metal and not guarded day and night will be stolen.

Which is the more compassionate and civilized society?
