Lets Start printing money

1 Comment

This suddenly became the case and everyone is rallying after it

Yes our government can’t handle money

but that doesn’t make spending it unwisely better , dropping all loan is in effect printing money , raising Inflation ( which we also aren’t trying to control much )

Didn’t the same Member of Parliament who is running the drop the loans thing grill the minster of heath about our hospital ( which he was working in one ) and now what ? he got him out , did the hospitals improve ? or was is just like most people thought of it back then ? personal vendetta

There is no justice in the dropping of Loan thing , never was and never will be
What if someone got a loan of 10,000 to buy a car and someone got a loan of 90,000 to buy a house ? would you drop both ?
what if someone got a loan of 100,000 to buy stocks ( which happened ) would you drop it also ?
What of the people that didn’t get a Loan
You can’t have Justice , and you say pay this sector and ignore the rest you aren’t doing justice

Kuwait Book Fair 2006

8 Comments

Anyone who know me knows i must go to Book Fair , never missed one since i was around 14

So I went this Year What i noticed ?

– Less Books : there are less books than Last Year , not much Translated book or new English Books for example Last Year had hilary Clinton Books and some Michael Moore Books Translated to Arabic , i didn’t see any of the books released this year or past year there
( when i say any Books i mean Books that made headlines , like bob woodward books )

– There Are more Kuwaiti Publisher and they are Good , more books and better quality Than Egyptian and Syrian publishers

– Speaking of Syria , What is their Problem ? how Could the people running the fair allow this kind of Farce ?
check this picture from 2005

Syria Corner 2005

Yes our beloved Sheik with a smaller picture that Bashar Alasad , when i asked them they said they couldn’t get a bigger Picture of sheik Jaber , when i asked why couldn’t get a smaller picture of bashar ( not like they don’t have all sizes I’m sure , even passport picture size ) he didn’t respond

now check this from this Year

Syria Corner 2006

Same big freaking picture and not even a picture of our new sheik , what gives , no respect at all

– Some people of the world ( some would say most ) think Arab Are terrorist , and nothing to show that more but to sell books like these

Weapon Book

Okay i want to ask , is there even a market for books like these ?

– If there is a Book i recomend to Buy is this

I have Read The book Many Times in Arabic ( i had a Translated version , Very old one ) and was trying to get this Book for a long time ( found it on amazon lately for 50 $ and was going to order it
It is a story of a British Man who goes on a Kuwaiti Ship and sail all the way to Africa , the hardship they endured

I sometimes listen to Voice of America , its nice to listen to other points of view and listen to people who sound intellectual ( not the ones on FM 99.7 thats for sure ) so they have this program called America’s Global College Forum where they talk to an international students in the USA

They describe it as

profiles international students attending one of America’s great colleges or universities

anyway , i was listening and they talk to a Kuwaiti student

The Punisher Extended Cut DVD

3 Comments

I was Reading about it and found this small information , this look intersting

Lionsgate has provided The Continuum with images from the upcoming The Punisher Extended Cut DVD, due in stores on Nov. 21.

In addition to 17 minutes of new footage integraed into the film, The Punisher Extended Cut also includes a unique extra — an animated version of “The Kuwait Scene,” which was originally slated to open the film but was never shot due to budgetary constraints.

Illustrated by The Punisher cover artist Tim Bradstreet, the impressionistic action sequence stars Thomas Jane and Russell Andrews. Viewers will have the option of playing the animation before the picture begins so the scene can be appreciated within its original planned context.
