Anything else and you embarrass your selfs
So i Read Today AlQabas , while reading i get to science and technology page , and i find this
If you don’t read Arabic it basically says that Google intend to buy Youtube
Wait a minute ! Intend ? Google Said they Intended back in October 9th
And Closed The DEAL ( aka finished aka got it ) in November 13th
Is the guy writing that page out of loop ? doesn’t he check news sites from time to time ?

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
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
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
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
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 just made my portable player ( which was bought from Germany ) region free
I feel a bit dirty
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
