Some people shouldn’t try to quote or compare Kuwaiti stuff to American

from AlQabas [Link][Arabic]

من هذا المنطلق لا بد من كلمة عدل تقال بحق بعض برامجنا الحوارية في الكويت، التي تتحلى بالموضوعية والتعددية في الرأي ومنها برنامج «اللوبي» الذي تقدمه قناة «العدالة» في الكويت. هذا البرنامج يذكرنا ببرنامج حواري ليلي يقدمه الاعلامي ديفيد ليترمان في الولايات المتحدة الاميركية، فيستضيف اشخاصا يتحدثون عن اشياء كثيرة وبوجهات نظر متعارضة احيانا.

Translation

From this point a word must be said about about some of our Debate show in kuwait , which demonstrate objectivity and pluralism of opinion, including the program «lobby» provided by the channel «justice» in Kuwait. This program reminds us of the program talk presented by David Letterman , who get many people to talk about many things and sometimes conflicting perspectives.

really ? conflicting perspectives ? on David Letterman ? are you for real ?
The «lobby» program host either one guest or more and they talk among them self , i don’t see a freaking band or a funny monologue at the start , or top ten , the guy wiring the article clearly didn’t see Letterman , because i did and did see the «lobby» and there is no similarities between both

I think we have a problem with online etiquette here in Kuwait

Okay so you read a topic you liked in another blog, you comment on it and post part of it in your site / blog that is fine and great

But reposting the full article even with a link and just opening comments is quite rude
And its get insulting when a major newspaper site does it

Alwatan (even in a good gesture thing they manage to make it evil, really diabolical)

this article is just a copy paste from another blog ( which they linked in the headline )

Alwatan

but they still left comments open , if they had online etiquette or even some common sense , they would have closed comments and made people comment at the original article , so the writer can know what others said about his article , not search around the internet to see who said what about what he is thinking

And make the link clickable

What happened to Kuwait ? stuff happen that i could have accepted 5 years ago happen now ? something trivial like
linking to pictures hosted at other sites is so 1999 , but now in the year 2010 this is unacceptable

so when i see in my Referrer Report for my site something like

opening the page http://www.philosophy.kuniv.edu/cv_ar.php

I was wondering what is linked from my page there , its is after all the official site for Kuwait University , the first instutte to get internet in Kuwait and arguably in the gulf

Checking the pictures i found this

Really ? Kuwait University DO not have a picture of a teacher and wouldn’t even bother to host the picture at least !!
