When I read the news of Rosa park death and the late news of Salab riots
I remembered something
In the USA the political correct way to say something about people with the same skin tone as Rosa Park is African Americans
Using words like N word and black is considered insulting
Here in Kuwait there are people who have the same skin tone, and I have no idea what’s the political correct way to say it
I use Slave “عبد ” not in a insulting way , since we are all slave to god , hell my name is a variation of salve of god ( not Abdullah , another one 
)
So what you think? What would be a political corrected way to describe them, black?
Slave “عبد “? Or African Kuwaiti

Ramadan effect people in strange ways
Some you find are lazy from the morning
Some look pissed and angry all the time
And some lose some IQ from not eating…
Today I encountered one type, I was talk with a guy and he told me that the game he downloaded doesn’t fit on the DVD, its four point one six, and his DVD burner can burn up to four point seven
I told him wait a minute, four point one six or four point six one? because the later wouldn’t fit ( then I was like eh wait a minute , both fit but I distracted the other from noticing ) so I take out a paper and write the two number
4.7
4.16
And he said yeah it’s four point one six but they omit the zero at the end
Then it clicked, and he was like Oh my God
Ramadan Kareem

I noticed something that’s always done in Kuwait and most of Arabic countries, we go out and Import technology and do not get the laws that cover that technology in the courtiers that used it before it
For example mobile phone, USA have do not call list , and what do we have in Kuwait? Companies that sell
Our mobile numbers so we get message after message of ads from companies that you never dealt with
Midas ? Never bought from them or registered with them, why did I get 7 sms message that they have discount?
Not to mention people who call you and ask for your name then tell you win a trip to Bahrain or a dinner for five people but you have to listen to a timeshare rip off thing
I got this in my e-mail few days ago, my god how would anyone get something without getting it from the main source, the company itself
