Back From The Dead
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Hi all.. Its been nearly 3 months since my last post. I got really busy for a while then when things cooled down, I had a hard time picking up the momentum to write again. However, I have finally decided to get off my lazy butt and pick it up again.

I truly thank all my friends here who have asked about me one way or another. It’s really good to have friends like you.

So….. what have I missed?

"In Iran, crimes such as apostasy (leaving a religion, in this case Islam) and armed robbery are already punishable by death, but a new bill in Iran aims to add to the list ‘establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy,’ effectively giving the government a free hand in silencing bloggers."

I have always had an opposition to any form of internet censorship or limitation for freedom of speech online…. but this is beyond anything I have ever even imagined….

For god’s sake….. DEATH??…. what government gives the right to itself to execute anyone for writing about any topic in their blogs?

Wondering thoughts: What if?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

What if we take 1000 men and women of various intellectual backgrounds (scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers, priests, etc), and put them a new planet with only the clothes they’re wearing, how would they live?

Imagine that these people will find themselves in a place that has nothing of the modern world. Only them with trees, animals, and water. Would they be able to recreate the modern life? how long it would take them? They would lack the very basic things needed for modern life (no energy source, materials, tools, factories, etc etc)

Would they have to reinvent everything? Or would the scientist know the inventions, but they just wouldn’t be able to implement them?

Is our country becoming unlivable?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Alright… I’m officially sick of it…. I can’t stand it anymore.. it’s in my eyes, in my mouth, in my lungs, inside my ear, on my desk, on my car, it’s everywhere! SAND!! Sand is everywhere… what happened to our country? Wassup with all this sand in the air? We’ve had sandstorms before, but nothing ever like this.

Hasn’t anyone else noticed that year after year the sandstorms are growing in both duration AND intensity? Does anyone remember any year when we had continuous sandstorms for 6 months? Does anyone remember having this many THICK sandstorms in one year? I wonder what damage to our health this sand is inflecting. Don’t count on big brother to tell us anything true; they have history of public deception when it comes to environment and public health. But all this sand we’re breathing, must be doing something bad to us.

So if these damn sandstorms continue to increase in duration and intensity and with it increase our health damage, how long it would take before we can declare Kuwait as…. uninhabitable?

Three weeks ago, I decided to to see for myself why all this hype about this PC Game: World of Warcraft. What’s so special? Why are people around the world so excited about it?

Big Mistake!!

For the past 3 weeks, I have been doing nothing but playing this game. It’s like drugs… Now I don’t know how to snap out of it. I don’t think I have ever played a video game that managed to grab my interest as much as this one does.

Wondering Thoughts: What about the Jin?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Jin (ghosts?) exist. Quran and the Prophet told us they exist and so we’re obliged to believe in the Jin. Quran told us that Jin is the 2nd intellegent being on this earth with humans. The brings intriguing questions in my mind:

What’s stopping the Jin from showing themselves to us? Why can’t our world cross with their world? We’re told that Jin are everywhere… we’re told that some even live in the very same houses we live in. So why can’t they just get visible and introduce themselves to the human kind.

Maybe the Jin can’t be visible to human eyes. Maybe the Jin are forbidden by God to show themselves to humans. Maybe they have their own strict laws about appearing to humans. But if saw, why?

Should I care if you don’t follow my religion?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Why do we care so much what others believes are?

Why do we hate someone for nothing other than not sharing the same religion / mathhab as we do?

Why does someone else religion matter so much to us?

Questions that came across my mind lately. I thought about this purely from a logical point of view.
Why does one practice a religion? to go to heaven.
So does practicing any religion or math’hab have any outcome in the present life? No, religions rewards or punishments come only in the after life.
So if another person is following a different math’hab or religion than I do, would that have any impact on my current life at all? No because religions outcomes only come in the after life, not this life.
Okay then would this person’s belief impact me in the after life? No because god said every one for himself.

So…. if another person’s religion cannot impact my present life or my after life, then why the hell should I care about it? I shouldn’t……

Was Adam really the first?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

It is well known and proven by historians that Adam, the father of humans, lived 12,000 years ago. However, today we found remains of what is known as the ancient man which lived more than 3 millions years ago!! This ancient man left drawings on his caves and left tools which he built which means he had some intelligence.

If Adam was the first human, then who was the ancient man that lived before Adam?!?!

Since this is starting to generate the much expected "are you kafir?" comments, allow me to elaborate my theory on this.

I have no doubt in my mind that Adam was the first human, the first of this human age!! I believe that there was multiple ages of humans that passed on this earth and each had their own judgment days. For example, the discovered human remains that goes back 3 million years are actually for a whole human race that lived that time and reached their judgment day. Then came another group, and those in turn had their judgment day and finished, and so on until now when we and our Adam came.

Soon we will have our judgment day and be all out of this earth, then there will be another set of humans to populate the earth where they will wait their judgment day. Life goes on.

The Quran never dismissed this theory nor has ever confirmed. it. Makes a wonderful philosophical debate

I have three questions to the idiots who put their phone numbers on their cars hoping that girls would call them:

1) Are you really that desperate?

2) Do you really want to talk to a girl who is even more desperate (and pathetic) than you are that she dialed a number from the back of a car?

3) Why do you put "For Sale" before the number? Do you really believe that someone still don’t know your actual intentions?

The Kuwaiti version of “Women Rights”
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

The Kuwaiti culture is so contradicting it amazes me. Things that happen here could never be seen outside. I think sometimes we suffer from an identity crisis! Take for example the women rights movement here….

Kuwaiti women fiercely fought to have equal rights with men in filling big jobs and voting in the parliament. They made a case after case to prove that they’re capable of accomplishing the toughest jobs including being Parliament Members or Ministers. However, when it comes to stepping out of their cars, grabbing the gas pedal, and filling their cars, "OH NO…. we’re women… we can’t do that… every station must have a banghali to do it for us" !!!!!!!

Only in Kuwait

Why are you mad?
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Why is all this hype with Adnan Abdulsamad and Ahmad Lari in Kuwait?
Because they said what they said about Emad Maghneya? So what? that’s their opinion!

If you don’t agree with it, say so, and move on with your life. You and I are big boys and girls… can’t we take it like ones and move on? You probably said a lot of things that these two guys don’t agree with, yet they never asked for your citizenship to be revoked! (Remember how we supported Saddam in the 80s over Iran even though he was the aggressor?)

I personally completely don’t agree with what they said; if this guy Emad
did indeed kill innocent Kuwaitis, then the hell with him. But what I’m trying to say here is: these two guys simply exercised their rights for free speech. They didn’t harm you, they didn’t throw stones at you, they didn’t kill anyone; they simply spoke up their minds. THAT IS DEMOCRACY. Free speech no matter whose feelings it hurts, should not be punished for.

While we’re all so busy with this stupid anti-segregation law or too busy attending hala February parties, over 116 Muslim Arab brothers and Sisters are being slaughtered in Ghaza. What’s really sickening is that most of us here in Kuwait, don’t give a rat ass about it. And why? because 17 years ago, Yaser Arafat supported Saddam Hussain over us; so we decided a life-time sentence on all Palestinians that they are enemies!! I couldn’t even believe my ears hearing an Adult Kuwaiti Man saying "let them burn in hell… why should we care?… they supported Saddam over us".

Who are "they"? is she one of "they"?

No?… then maybe you you meant her?

No again? hmmm… I’m lost… help me out… maybe these are the enemy you’re referring to?

or those….

WAKE UP…. these are not pictures of enemies… these are pictures of MUSLIM ARABS slaughtered and attacked by Jewish Israelians NOW in Ghaza. Their only crime is defending their land and honor.

May Allah help our brothers and sisters in Ghaza

You can’t watch this
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Arabic ministers of information met lately and came up with a new joint agreement to create a law that would "coordinate" the Arabic satellite channels. Basically the law is to give the Arab governments more control over what should and what shouldn’t the channels broadcast specially political views that don’t agree with their own.

But that’s not the biggest problem here…. check this out…. the new law doest not only prohibit broadcasting unapproved material, but also it prohibits watching!

A government can arrest anyone who watches a channel that doesn’t follow the government rules!!

So far lets see what we have:

Say anything we want       Banned

Read anything we want                   Banned

The African version of Dr Dre
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

If you follow international news, you might have lately heard about the conflict in Chad (African country sharing borders with Sudan). The rebels in Chad have now entered the capital of Chad and are getting close to overthrowing the government. There is something interesting about this conflict.

Chad government has been a supporter for the rebels in Darfur who fight the Sudanese government. So what does Sudan do about it? Sudan government now supports the rebels in Chad who fights the Chadian government and the Chadian rebels are now near overthrowing the Chadian government.

This reminds me of an old song by Dr Dre in which he said: "You F**k with me, now its a must that I F**K with you"

There is a place in this world… where Muslim girls are forced to take off their hijab before they enter the university… it must be Frace… they are known to be anti hijab…. no its not france.. hmmm… then it must be Denmark.. they always say bad things about islam.. no not denmark…

The picture below… is an actual picture of turkish mulslim girls taking off their Hijab at the university door so they can be allowed to enter and take their education!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen… the girls in the picture are not in a European Christian country.. they are not in Israel… not in a communist country… this is happening in a full fledged Muslim Country one rules the whole muslim world… Turkia!!

I’ve criticize how bad our government is.. but it is things like these that just makes me think… "well at least our women would never have to make a choice between hijab and education".

الارهاب والكباب
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

في 2001 صرخ الكاوبوي جورج بوش "علي وعلى اعدائي”. ثم اطلق الحرب على الارهاب التي لحد الان نتج عنها احتلال دولتين مسلمتين والثالثة جاري تهديدها. هجمات 11 سبتمبر خلفت نحو 3000 قتيل مدني بينما حرب الكاوبوي التي من "المفترض" انها ستحمي المدنيين من هجمات الارهابيين خلفت 100،000 قتيل مدني في العراق (بعض الاحصائيات تقدر العدد باكبر من ذلك بكثير) و3500 في افغانستان. اضف الى ذلك ان كلنت استوود (قصدي جورج بوش) سن لجميع العالم الغطاء الشرعي لاقصى درجات الاعتداء على حقوق الانسان. فالآن ما على اي حكومة لأي دولة تريد الانتقام من شخص ما لأي سبب الا ان تعلن انه ما فقط يشتبه بانتمائه للقاعدة ليعطي هذه الحكومة كافة الصلاحية لاعتقال وتعذيب بل وحتى قتل هذا الشخص بدون اي محاكمة. “يشتبه" وليس حتى "متهم" فقط اصبحت كافية للعن ابو خامس اي انسان في العالم.

مالذي سبب كل هذا؟ الامريكان بالطبع سيقولون وبسرعة…. القاعدة هم سبب قيامنا بما فعلنا لحماية انفسنا… طيب ما الذي جعل القاعدة تعمل ما تعمل؟

الدكتور عبدالله النفيسي في احدى المقابلات التلفزيونية قال كلمة جميلة عندما سأل عن رأيه بالقاعدة. قال الدكتور ان القاعدة تقول انها نشأت عن مبدأ "اخرجوا الكفار من جزيرة العرب" – حديث نبوي. فالمنتسبين للقاعدة يقولون انهم يعارضون وجود ما يسمونه بالقوات الكافرة في جزيرة العرب ولان النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – امر باخراجهم فانهم سيحاربونهم وبالتالي نتجت هجمات 11 سبتمبر. بالطبع المساندة السافرة لليهود لم تخدم قضية الامريكان عند القاعدة ايضا. اذا نرجع ونسأل مالذي سبب الحرب؟

لو ان امريكا والدول الاجنبية الاخرى لم يكن لها وجود عسكري بالجزيرة ولم تساند اسرائيل على العرب بهذه الدرجة هل كان سيكون هناك قاعدة؟ هل كان سيبقى للقاعدة اي قاعدة يستندون عليها لشن ما يسمى بالهجمات الارهابية على المدنيين؟

هل الارهاب ما فعلته القاعدة (3000 قتيل) ام ما فعله كلنت ايستوود (100،000 قتيل) ؟

اعتقد اننا بحاجة لعادل امام ليجاوبنا على هذا السؤال ويعلمنا الفرق بين الارهاب والكباب.

Monopoly in Kuwait
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Almost everything commercial here is a monopoly.. nothing left for the general public to try to invest in and grow large. We even have trade laws that just make sure monopolies continue to be. Monopolies are never good for the consumer because if an entity is monopolizing selling a certain product, what will stop it from continuing to raise it price, give bad customer service, and/or have bad quality products?

A good example for that is Kuwait National Cinema Company (KNCC). This company for some odd reason was given exclusive rights to be the only cinema provider in Kuwait. No one else is allowed to build and operate a cinema theater except them. The result? All cinema loving people are basically under the mercy of KNCC.

A few weeks ago I went to see the movie Beowulf. The movie was chopped and cut so bad that a major character (Angelina Jolie) never appeared in the movie!! This movie was chopped so bad, that you are left clueless on what is happening in the movie!.. I’m against showing inappropriate scenes, but if a movie is so unsuitable to be shown in Kuwait that a major slicing and cutting would be required, then why the fuck show it?

The answer lies in process which KNCC gets you a movie…. First, they buy the movie from the studio. Then they run it buy the ministry of information to do the necessary "cutting" of inappropriate scenes. Then they show it in the cinema.

So after they found out that the ministry of information had cut it so bad that the movie became useless, why did they still decided to show it to us? Because they paid for it already and wouldn’t want to loose on not showing. They know that even if we, the poor consumers, go so unsatisfied watching a movie critically cut, we would still have no option but to go to KNCC theaters again. There is just no other cinemas!!

Stardust
» ‎ Q80.com زوايا وابعاد

Stardust
My Rating: A- "A fantasy that captures your imagination"

When I watch a movie, I like the movie to take me out of the cruel, stressful world and into a fantasy world where I can relax and forget everything. Hence my usual love for fantasy and sci fi movies. There are however some fantasy movies where you just rather stay in the cruel world than watch it. Not Stardust. This movie is a solid A. Lovely fantasy movie that just manage to give me exactly what I want, a get away from it all and onto a fantasy world. Robert Deniro and Michelle Pfeiffer were both wonderful in the movie. My only regret is that I waited this long to see it on DVD and skipped going to see it in cinema.
