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

Where are the cops when you need one

1 Comment

Now we hear of the despicable attack on Zaid AlZaid , Alaan Publisher , It shows that there are people who can’t accept others opinions and can’t discuss it in a civil way.

Where are the police ? why don’t they patrol these area’s ? or they want just to cover the people inside and write what they say only ?

We always hear the phrase
“The Police are in the service of the people”

But not in Kuwait It seem, where the police are doing random stuff like stopping people from going offRoading or installing speed camera’s

Security is more important, you need to make people safe
Everyone keeps on saying we live in safety unlike this or that country, I’m afraid we are moving closer to those countries, When people are getting insulted on TV and you can’t do a thing, when you get attacked and no one care to do anything to stop future attacks, and then we are living in a jungle

So today is ninth of September year 2009, or 9/9/2009

Nice number and a load of bloggers and newspaper writers have noticed the discrepancy between the implication of the date in Kuwait and Dubai

While Dubai is opening (or has opened depending on what time I post this) it’s new Metro Lines
Yes part of it not finished (10 stations out of 29 in the green line, red line to be opened late 2010) but you know what? They went ahead and opened it

But here in Kuwait, we keep blaming the Parliament (Majlis) for all our problems, why? I never understand, the government could have done everything, and still do everything wrong with or without the parliament, even things that the parliament didn’t intervene with they still trip and fall and blunder

It sadness me each time I read the newspapers or browse the blogs , not only we are sinking deeper and deeper , but even most people do not get it , logic is missing , and it seem everyone has no problem with it , parliament members demanding a minister to do his job ? They are labeled as personalizes, parliament members demanding a special session to discuss the problem of H1n1 (swine flu) they get label as trouble makers,

Newspapers instead of pointing the blame to the ones who are to blame, blame people who read Quran, really? That is the problem? The government has a prize for Quran reader? So if we canceled that suddenly we are going to beat Singapore?
If you think we are in disparate need of a prize for things other than Quran why not do one? Start one? Start a campaign for one? Or you just want the government to give money as always

I was going to work on a side project for the blog , but because I didn’t want it to be redundant I’m not going ahead with it , and working on a new one ( the reason of lack of posting lately )

So we have a writer in AlJarida saying we should have a new Award for bloggers in the name of Abdullatif AlDuaij

الكاتب الالمعي الوشيحي بجريده الجريده مقترح جائزه للمدونيين بإسم عبداللطيف الدعيج

حمل الأخرى اسم عبداللطيف الدعيج وتخصص للمدونين الكويتيين

And another carrying the name of Abdullatif AlDuaij for Kuwaiti Bloggers

So a Blogger Award in his name ? do you you even read this guy articles ?
lets see what we have

جائزه بإسمه ؟ من صجه هذا ؟ خل نشوف مع بعض نموذج او عينه من الي قاله عن المدونات من قبل

http://alqabas.com.kw/Article.aspx?id=422321&date=17082008

When no one ask him or anyone before him did it , he classify bloggers as Shia and Sunna and throw Random statistic out of his mind about how many Shia bloggers

بدون ما احد يسأله او احد يسويها من قبله يقرر فرز المدونات علي اساس طائفي
و يطلع احصائيه من مزاجه عن المدونيين الشيعه

http://alqabas.com.kw/Article.aspx?id=519343&date=22072009

Called bloggers follower and dogs

يتهم المدونيين انهم تبع امن الدوله لأنهم هاجموا ربعه

so after all his misconception about blogs what we expect from his award ?

Best Muslim brotherhood mocking post by a Nationalist Blogger ?

بعد كل هالافتراءات شنو بالله بتكون الجائزه ؟

افضل مدون شيعي ؟

افضل ضغطه سياسه علي اخونجيه من مدون وطني ؟

Never Forget

Logic would say the day 2-8-1990 is a day Kuwait shouldn’t forgot

But it seem its getting forgotten as years pass by

Is it mentioned in our Class Rooms? No

What happened to the monuments that were about the invasion? All removed but two (one of them very small they forgot about it)

The Government isn’t doing any Official thing about this day, even a Vigil would be accepted at this point, but alas, there isn’t any high official in Kuwait these days all are out of the country

Never Forget
