Elitist concerns part Two , Facebooking

5 Comments

Face Book is one of the phenomenal hitting Kuwait , a hype if you could say
Well unfortunately i opened a Face book account not long time ago ( i blame Two Blog Friends , Tat The Don and EXzombiesm )

Anyway , after some time of trying it , one thing that keep pissing me about it is how some Kuwaitis use it .
Face book is for posting your Real Name , if you want to use a Nick name don’t use it . very easy .

Also whats with girls that post picture that I’m 110% sure its not them ? not posting a picture is better for your image , when you post a picture of an actress or a model that mean you don’t trust your look.

I would have deleted my account sometime ago but i have couple of friends on Face book that i use to Update with ( i don’t see them much these days , some of them work in demanding Jobs and some spend most of their time with family )

Its kinda Funny that i posted before

it would mean that online publishing does not fall under the publishing law YET

and now this comes , from AlQabas Newpaper [Arabic][link]

Couple of important stuff to notice ( aka Points that would throw most internet users in jail )

ما العقوبات القانونية التي حددها المشروع، فقد بين العثمان ان كل من انتفع من دون وجه حق عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية أو إحدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات بخدمات الاتصالات أو قنوات البث المسموعة أو المرئية أو أي خدمة أخرى يعاقب بالحبس بما لا يتجاوز السنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز ألف دينار أو بإحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

and something for the MPAA

ل من نشر او نسخ عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية او احدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات مصنفات فكرية او ادبية او ابحاث علمية او ما في حكمها بدون وجه حق يعاقب بالحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز الف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين، فاذا كان النشر او النسخ بقصد التسويق او الربح تكون العقوبة الحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنتين وبغرامة لا تجاوز 3 الاف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

Elitist concerns part one , Kuwait Environment Score

8 Comments

Sometimes there are concerns that some would say that only elites care about , so as an Elitist my self i need to post some of Kuwaitis Elites concerns

So what Concern do the Elitist Have with Kuwait Environment , its not like they live in most of the time you may wonder
well its not the environment per say but our Environment Score !

If you check Environmental Performance Index 2008 [Link]
You will see we scored an EPI Score of 64.5 and got an EPI Rank of 111

We scored Lower than Saudi Arabia ( aka we can’t blame it on religious people ) ! lower than Bahrain ! lower Than Egypt !
the only people in the middle east lower than us are Yemen , Iraq , Sudan and UAE ( by a .5 only )

This is a Farce ! and it need to be dealt with

Pencil Stealer !

4 Comments

I’m coining a new term , pencil Stealer !

We all heard of pencil pusher , its a person, as an office clerk, whose job entails writing, keeping records, etc. ( aka my job at the governments )

Anyway , now you ask your self , what i mean by Pencel Stealer
If you have studied in any of Kuwait Fine Universities you would have noticed them , they are the guys ( i don’t know if this happen to girls ) that always come to class with no pen or pencil , and are always looking for one to lend them one
its always like this
they see me with a bag of books
” hey forzaq8 , got any extra pen in that bag ? ”
” hey dude could i have a pen , I’ll give it back after class”
” anyone with an extra pen”

And it doesn’t stop them that its a normal class or an exam , its the same they will be with no pen or pencil
and they always take it and never return it back , i start each course with 20 pens and end up maybe 5-7 and that counting the ones i keep in my car and do not take with me to university .

If you can’t be bothered to bring a Pen to an Exam , why the hell you do expect to graduate ? why should we have high hopes of this Generation ?

Bus Children ?

5 Comments

So while reading Awan daily newspaper

I found this picture

bushchildren

SO what the hell is bus children ? are they children born on bus’s ? :p
never knew we had that many in the first place

and don’t say it mean children riding on the bus , because that has no logic , why they have a gate for that ? can’t they walk ? ( oh wait they are walking ) its not logical anyway ( both as a gate for children riding a bus and children born on one )
