A friend of mine at work came to me the other day asking me if he was a fool. I was shocked of his inquiry because I know him and I know for a fact that he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. When I asked him why is he saying that, he said “whenever I deal with someone or someone asks me for something I immediately fulfil his request or believe him without any questions. I have been tricked many times and people keep saying that I am a fool, naive and I shouldn’t just believe everyone or accept what they say as facts”.
Now I know this is what is said in Kuwait and the general impression is to be aggressive towards other in order not to be fooled. خلك حرش which means be aggressive.
What I find really ridicules is that instead of saying “you didn’t do anything wrong, it’s that person who is wrong” we blame that good guy for being good and actually the person who was wrong we praise as a “taker” of opportunities.
No no no, that is way too …. Wrong? When a person comes and says I was tricked the blame goes to the person who tricked not the victim, it’s like telling the victim of abuse, hey you are weaker it’s not his/her fault, it’s yours for not being able to defend yourself.
I don’t know how it is in different cultures and countries, but I assume (and assumptions are always dangerous, I know) that most are the same, especially when they say that the law does not protect the fool القانون لا يحمي المغفلين.
Is this the world that you want to live in? in a place where the law of the jungle is praised and common sense lacks? Where nice people end up being called fools and naïve, where as liars and cheaters are the smart people?
With whom would you personally like to associate yourself? I know most will say ofcourse the good guy, because that’s what you think I want to read, or others to read, but be honest with yourself. The taker or the fool?
I guess that being nice to others, believing that you are a good person untill you prove otherwise makes me a fool.
I am a fool, are you?

Have you?
Have you every had this feeling that, no matter how much you want to help people who are really in need, you cannot?
The thing is, it's not that you are incapable, it's because those who need help do not believe that you are trying to help. I guess you cannot blame them cause they went through hell to survive. Not to mention that their lives are actually a fight just to make it through the day.
It hurts me to see that people are suffering, having to do things that I (and most) wouldn't even think of doing. Having to do illegal stuff and the pay off is not even worth it. Girls having to sell their bodies for prices close to nothing, and boys having to either join the mafia (gangs in other countries) or .... well that's it.
I know that some are ruined beyond fixing but still, is there nothing that can be done?
I am talking about helping the person who needs help with out expecting that person to do something in return.
Helping purely for helping not for some hidden objective. I have seen some religious factions helping out but.. expecting a convert. That is not what I am talking about. I am talking about ... I am sure you get what I mean.
The problem is that those who lead normal lives pass judgement on those unfortunate people. For example, Kuwaiti women (most not all) believe that Indians/ Filipinos and south east Asian women are cheap. Why? Cause their hubbies go to those countries to fornicate and it is relatively cheaper than other places. Now I am not defending those two timing cheap bastards. I am looking at it from the point of view of those girls (the south East Asians). Life is not as easy as the Kuwaiti women think. I know for a fact that there are some girls who are from well known families in Kuwait that got back-doored for a prepaid phone card cause her father did not want to give her some money. No one is better than anyone. These girls had to choose between eating or starving. Some did not have any type of education and others were forced to do so. I am sure that most of these girls if given the opportunity they would stop what they are doing and lead a normal life. But it is not that easy, once you're in it is almost impossible to get out.
That is why I keep thinking, if something can be offered to these unfortunate people that would lead them and give them a normal life and the past life is erased once and for all.

Blog reconstruction surgery.
Since my previous blog got erased, I have to come back to this place and refuse to pay anymore.
I have managed to recover some of the blogs but the others... well they are lost.
Hopefully the problems I had with the paid blog would not be transfered to this free blog site.
Best of luck and have fun.

Nature 1- Environmentalists 0
As I have mentioned in a previous topic regarding the environment issue(Which is lost and cannot be found now), global warming to be precise.
What was the fear again? Oh yeah Global warming and the melting of the glaciers. Umm Yeah, nature does not suffer because of our actions.
People really over estimate the effect of what they do, Ice age happened before, no global warming no nothing, its nature’s way of flushing out the bad stuff.
Recent events and to be more exact, the volcanic eruption in Iceland, Oh yeah!! The volcano in Iceland has put a huge volcanic cloud over Europe stopping all flights from and to Europe not to mention the Acid rain and the melting of the glaciers. This cloud decreases the temperature of the planet (It is a fact check the volcano that erupted in the Philippines, it decreased the temp of the planet by 1 degree), I read the news and I feel sorry for the people who are living in Iceland for the fact they had to evacuate hundreds of people. Now tell me should they be worried what type of a car I drive? Or the fact that Volcanoes erupting up north? Oh by the by that’s the second one in approximately a month.
What is the relationship between global warming and the volcano rupturing in Iceland? There is no relationship. Global warming did not cause the volcano's eruption.
Just watch nature settle things its own way.
Remember George Carlin.
This is like some ants are complaining that the rest of the ants are digging in the earth making it more fragile.
I would like to see some intellectual input about this matter, and if possible a decent debate.
Please no mumbo jumbo about 2012 end of the world Bull's poop.
This is what an acquaintance have mailed me.
"what I'm linking you to is a "presentation", more like a pretty long speech of someone called David icke(ex journalist, 20 yrs ago had a revelation, started researching and writing books). it took me a few days to go thru it because of its length but also the quantity of information. i found it a lot to take in to say the least (haha when you hear "reptile" remember to pause and take a deep breath)
now, i heard about him on TV, being ridiculed on the discovery channel so i thought hmm let's check him out, if only for a laugh. if he goes too far for your taste just take what you like. there's a lot of info out there about both him and the presented information.

Worried about me??
Ive been here in England for the past 2 years. The amount of religious people knocking on my door wanting to Convert me to what ever they believe is too many to count.
It is funny how people instead of perfecting them selves bother them selves and other with this nonsense. But I enjoy it:P cause I like to see their reaction when I open the door and they notice that I have a beard and dark skinned with middle Eastern features It is sometimes too funny I mean, one time 2 Mormons 1 black and the other was Asian (China or so) knocked on my door It was early in the day so I just woke up with a deep voice I opened the door and said Yes? their facial expression changed from this to this but hats off to them they still did not give up they told me who they are and whats their mission.
They also asked if I believe in God. I said Yes I believe in Allah Aka God. The faces changed to this and left. I like to learn about all religions. I actually tried to get a copy of their bible. which eventually i was able too (yay me). Previous to that when I was in in another area Jehovah witnesses visited me on a weekly bases. They were shocked at first but they were trying their best to convert me. Now if they only knew what I know they wouldn’t have bothered. But Anyways I appreciate that. I enjoy it cause it shows what others believe in and gives me a better understanding of the other religions. However what I do not appreciate is when some one comes with full throttle accusing my religion of something because of one or all of the following:
Someone from my religion did something nasty to his or others.
He/she read books from my religion but different faction and accuse the whole religion for it.
He/she read the book in their own language and got his own understanding of it.
I think that is all.
First of all, almost all major religions had a party of people committing crimes in the name of that religion KKK=Alqaida=Zionist. All kill in the name of something.
Lets take KKK first, they believe in white power and all others should be killed. crazy isn’t it?(if you think not what they hell are you doing reading my blog:P)
Alqaida, They believe that anyone who doesn’t believe in what they believe is an infidel. sounds as crazy as the above doesn’t it?:P
Zionist, I kill you because 5000 years ago something happened. If you fight back I kill you, you family and destroy the whole area you live in. Hmmm that doesn’t see any less insane than than the previous two. I know its a political movement, same goes for the other two. a bunch of people from a certain religion doing something. That’s my point.
I say to …. wow I went out of topic… I am tired and I want to sleep Good night

Racists
It is funny when you come across someone who thinks that some other race is less important that him/her self. What defines a person better than the other? Skin colour? Belief? Money? Education? Nationality?
If a white person works, a black person works, a brown person works and red person works, as their boss would u side by your race? or treat them equally? who works harder get the candy? or it doesn’t matter the other 3 wont get a head as long as there is one of your race is there?
Let me simplify it a bit more with an example on my self. I was to supervise 4 men/women 1 is Caucasian 1 is from Africa 1 from Kuwait and 1 from China. should I stand by the Kuwaiti just because we are fellow Kuwaitis?
I have asked my friend Stuart a question and I wanted to see his answer. The question was “if you had the chance of save one life between an Arab or a British, who would you pick?” he paused looked at me and said “there is no right answer to this is there?” i said nope but since you said you will answer, now tell me. As I remember ( am i am bad at this) he said “I’m not sure but most likely the British and it depends on how each person looks”. Well that makes a bit of sense to me. I mean if I had a feeling that the British person was a redneck I wouldn’t save him. However if the Arab was one of those who claims that everyone is an infidel I wouldn’t want to save him either .
Now to go on a bigger scale from skin colour to something a bit larger which covers a lot of people. I mean the people who think that if you are from the same country then you are perfect, if you are from some where else then you are inferior.
Once upon a time An email was sent to me. A hate email it was short contained one word and I honestly did not understand it. I had to email that person back asking what does he mean?
It contained the word Paki. Now I am from Kuwait, which that person seems to not know where that is and apparently the only thing he knew was that word. So I replied (which i though he was indicating that i am from Pakistan) What do you mean ( thinking that that person is capable of reading that I am from Kuwait not just In Kuwait) that person replied with vulgar words which made me know that, yeah, OK there goes my theory that people are not stupid they just act like it. Now I did not find it offencive that I was called a Pakistani, But the words that followed were iffy. Anyhow, In England Which I am spending my time here for professional reasons, I was called a F…en immigrant. I was pissed off but I could not do a thing cause the moment I do I would’ve lowered my self. now the people who personally know me, know what kind of a temper i have. But I guess age came into factor here also the surrounding situation. If this would have happened in Kuwait, that would be a different story. But I did not want to give the newspapers something to write about. Also I believe that me as a foreigner here I represent Kuwait. If I act like an animal then that will reflect on My country.
Hmm I lost my chain of thoughts, ….. I have a question, if I hate a racist does that make me a racist? Hate a hater makes me a hater doesn’t it?

The End
Spoiled?
I Keep thinking about stuff. Things that doesn’t matter and has no effect on me what so ever but I cannot help but think about it and wonder. Why!!!!
One of which, and I know this is totally lame and might sound not good but, hey this is my blog, Emo’s, I've had many discussions with some friends who are not emos cause I have none who are, about the point of it, what is an Emo? I thought it was some kind of animal but i was told it was a group of people who live in sadness and pain.
Who try to kill them selves due to the amount of pain and sorrow they go through. At that point I said heck that must be 90% of the planet. I mean can you imagine how many people have suffered from wars directly or indirectly. Then the shock of truth came when i was told nope its not the people in Iraq who lost loved ones, its not the families of soldiers who were sent to fight a war they did not even know why they are fighting it or based on personal gains, It is not the people who suffered from dictators and torture. It is not.. etc. It is the young people who hate their parents (as far as I know and was told) young people who just hate life because it is boring or what ever. Who listen to sad songs and actually be affected by it and think that the world is not worth living and it is filled with sadness.
I am not judging but I was in Kuwait during the invasion by the Iraqi army. I have seen a guy get shot in the head, falls in front of me and breathing his last breath. The sniper comes with his battalion and check if he is dead or alive than hang him in our neighbourhood for 3 weeks. Till his body scent filled the whole area just to show us that they will not think twice about killing us for stupid reasons.
During that time I was 13-14 yrs. I was playing soccer (football to the rest of the world) when 2 soldiers came to me and my friends and said they want to play but we should fallow their rules which are as follow:
If we score we get beaten
If we intercept we get beaten
If you take the ball away we get beaten and if we don’t play we get killed.
Needless to say we played and I got the S… kicked out of me cause i did intercept I did score and I took the ball away. Thats when my dad beat the crap out of me, more than the Iraqis did because I risked my life and my fellow Kuwaitis.
I tell you what, If you are an Emo and you think you had it tough Tell me and I promise you that I can prove to you that there are people who suffered more than you and in worse conditions than you and still have a smile on their faces.
Be strong, Life is fun to live but the thing is you get to do it only once (unless you believe in reincarnation). I believe in the saying “if you other people’s misfortune you will see that you have it better than most”.
Oh and just by the by I mean the Emos who try to kill them selves not the ones who have the hair cut and dress like them. If you see that the description of Emo doesn’t fit you then I don’t mean you.
Peace
