Kuwait Election : Someone has to Rain on our Parade .. ( BBC )
May 18, 2008
As i said in a past post ( on the collaboration blog 5-q8 ) the act of voting is a victory for democracy
But as always , someone has to come and Rain on our Parade
BBC posted news about the Kuwaiti Elections and this part really piss me off
Excluded from the ballot were foreign expatriates, who make up the majority of Kuwait’s 2.9-million population, and military personnel.
Excuse me ? why did they go out of their Way to point out that Expatriates do not Vote , What country does let Expatriates Vote in their Election ? do England do it ? The guardian List foreigners workers at over 2 million , did they vote on the last parliament Election in England ? i don’t think so , else there would have been at least couple of polish parliament members in the English parliament
Do Foreigners vote in US Election ? as far as i know till they get the nationality their vote is not counted else there would have been larger number of Hispanic in congress ?
I advice you all to contact the BBC using this Form
just write something in Comments like this
It is obnoxious and appalling that you talk about expatriate as not voting in the Kuwaiti Election when it is a none issue as no country in the world allow Expatriate to vote unless they are nationalized , was this point mentioned when reporting the latest election in England or the presidential race in United State of America ? or was this point specially raised to paint the Kuwaiti Election with negative image ?
or any comments about the story that come to your mind
and post the URL of the story Above
good job dude, and I’ll send an e-mail too

I don’t think expatriates vote in ANY country!
BBC has also been annoying us because of their biased reporting of the US elections - all Obama Obama Obama and only negative toward Hilary and McCain. Like what do they know????

“The majority of Kuwait’s 2.9-million population is made up of expatriates, who do not have a vote. Military personnel are also ineligible to cast ballots.”

ٌRaid on my Parade is a phrase
I’m not sure whats up with you ? , the blog isn’t for me to gain popularity or make money , there are better methods and ways to run the blog to achieve that but thats isn’t what my motive for blogging , its for sharing my thoughts .
whats your problem with security word ? they aren’t there to make you happy they are just there to be random words to ease up the spam
TAT
again with lame security code , its just random words i mostly came up while playing world of warcraft , mostly will change when i play a new game
Comment by Forzaq8 — 19/5/2008 @ 4:26 pm
first, i demand that the security words make me happy.
second, if your security words are inspired by games then they really are lame.
third, the expression is rain, not “raid”.
as for tat..
get a fucking life and stay away from this blog
and to both of TAT and Forzaq8, waaaakeeee uuuupppp
