جيل واعي و لكن؟!؟!؟

Asma3 kalamik asada2k ashof amorak ast3geb?!?

Kuwaiti society, mashallah 3lyh, has two main characteristics that severely contradicts each other:

The first, it has so many short comings
The second, we all know about them!!!!

So when we all know that

-people will always look into your business, malagyf o bala’3at el shaf at full charge
-The way to go in Kuwait is to have wa96ah
-Driving in Kuwait is equivalent to committing suicide
-We are a racist nation
-People have double measures which they judge people by and judge themselves by

And the list never stops, and when you talk about them you’ll find the replay like this
-Yeah Yeah
-9ajjah
-Ee wallah
And added to it more live examples on their side of situations they have experienced, O b3deyn???

Elly I get is that people do know what’s wrong and what’s right, and would sit there talk for hours about idealism and the second they are in a situation they act exactly the opposite?!?!!? Shesalfah = what’s the deal??
Isn’t that called hypocorism?

And when you say, ya flan, tawek ga3ed etgool shay, sheno hatha ely ga3ed etsaweyh, eyyek el replay walla a7la:

-shino 7alal 3la ‘3yery 7aram 3lay?? “la wallah?!”
-that’s how things are!!! Wyenk mo 3aysh beldenyah?!
-Or those who start to give excuses to justify for them selves,
wallah spare me!!

No shame= ma yeste7on ?? So you can think and understand la o el moshkilah debate but when it comes to action, absher bel ‘7re6ey!!

Walla how we are supposed to make this country a place so we can all live?? 9ij ley galow deyrat ba6ye’7 mashyah 3l barakah!! Wa 7asratahhhhhhhhh,
mo elmafro’9 that we the youth are supposed to influence and shape the world around us?? "a'7af bs"

Bs leymeta??
أما ان الاون؟
(I try to avoid writing in arabic cause I’m not sure about the spilling “Wa fashlatahhhh”)

What if (me started hallucinating) every one 9ar she7lylah and do the right thing, go to work and work, be nice to people, quite sawalif wa96at and boog, if each one put a little effort form their side wallah one day you’ll wake up and this would be such a great place to live in, start with yourself
And enshallah we can make this is a better place… “shino hal 3aba6 ely ana fyh??”

P.S. maadrey shfeyney 9ayrah bitching wayed hal couple of days!!!

Mission Impossible!!!

I’ve been making consecutive shopping expeditions lately; the reason why they are consecutive is that I couldn’t find ANY thing to buy, at all!!

The styles are terrible the fabrics, texture and colors are pathetic and don’t get me even started on the prices!!

I look at the price tag and I wonder “Hmmm, what this figure could be? Is it the piece number? Is it the bar code?” of course after I thoroughly investigate the tag I discover, “well no sweety, it’s actually the price!” then I make more wonders “Is there a decimal point? Is this in Kuwaiti Dinars?”
El mo9eybah I wish it’s worth even 10% of the price associated with it!
Elmo9eybah^2 there are ppl who are actually buying it!!

In the states there was a Dolce and Gabbana coat, when ey’9eyg ‘7elgey I walk to the mall to stare at it, it was so beautiful I couldn’t dare to put it on, it was 3000$ ya3ney 1000Kd, wallah it was worth every penny, Black with tiger prints inside, this was the only time I saw tiger prints and marveled them, the design was so feminine, faltering and seductive, note I’m talking about only the coat, I even considered to buy it, and wear it every day and wouldn’t take it off!! But come one woman a coat in Kuwait?!!?

After total mall-shops grand disappointments, I walked the extra mile and I’ve done some visits to what you can call Kuwaiti designers/stores, this has been challenging, first conducted a wide search for such places and personal inquiries, second as I have no sense of directions, to get to a new place based on wa9f was such a pain in the a$#, any ways I’ve made it and what do I find?? Do I need to continue or you can imagine? To bring the image closer I’ve used the F word in every single time I step a foot in one of those so called stores

Do I come from Mars? Was I in a coma and missed out an entire taste shift in fashion?
Is the question, what is wrong with you ppl? Is actually, what is wrong with me?
I really can’t figure it out!!! It’s ‘7alageyn out there!!

I hold the price tag of a dress and it reads 37 and then an army of question marks invaded my face?????? How come, first that can’t be the size, it has to be even number, then what is this tag connected to? Maybe it’s for the belt? There is no belt, how strange!! Only 37???! My question marks are replaced with a smile as I discover that my thumb was hiding the zero, :’) yeah that makes sense it’s 370 kd, yeah right!!!

Wala as long as the sense of style is like this, I should quite my job, get me couple of tailors, walla why bring them, I can use the ones working at the co-op branch, and get some low3ah fabrics, I don’t even have to look for a design or size just ay shay then sell that piece in a ridicules price, boy I’ll make a fortune!!

Cheers,
O

P.S. Any advice about a good shop, ana ra’9yah 7ata low fyh one good piece, not a wow but at least wearab!

Will I ever get used to this?

My brother fractured his foot bone, he was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance last night during his working shift, and they had to put a cast on it, so we swapped parking spots he took the one on the back of the house and I took the one in front,
“The back of our house is facing the mosque”

So after work today I got him a cane so he can support him self on it and on the way I got myself my favorite delicious Znood :D

Parked the car got the stuff out and walked into the house, it took me couple of minutes to reach my room cause I had to pass by the kitchen, and as I just stepped in my mom fallowed me

Mom, Do you know who just called?
Me, who?
Mom, our neighbor!! “there house is the one next the house opposite to ours”
Me, and??
Mom, she called to ask what are you doing with the cane????
Me, !!!!!! Middaha?? Mita?? What ??! there was no one in the street, it’s 43 degrees out there!!!
Then I remembered el be3thah el da2mah for KUNA, she is watching over from borg el moragabah!!!

It’s been 12 days since Ramadan started, you didn’t bother your self to pick up the phone to congrat on the holly month, and the second you see me with a cane you call in the speed of lightning??!?

Walla seriously woman, get a life!!
It’s for you they have invented something called tv, watch it!!
And if you like to watch “live” events, try out football matches and game shows,

Ely ba6 chabdey that setrey 3la nafsich, don’t let us know that you are watching us!! She acted as if it was her God Given Right to know, woman it’s OUR business, if we came asking for your help then ask, but no one das lich 3la 6araf!!

Kuwaitis they can’t get enough, if some one stopped in the right side of the street, every one on that street and the street next to them, meaning all four lanes and the opposite four lanes would stop to see what’s going on, even if it was accident, they wouldn’t go and help, no god forbids, just watch, have an event for today, something happened and they got to see it, and by that it comes out of the harmless and annoying, it becomes harmful and sometimes lethal!!

Seriously, she_elsalfah, shino hal legafah el zaydah?!!?!
Is it in the genes? Is it a law that they have to obey it or they’ll get a ticket – o ana ma adrey - ?
Or is it that their lives so damn empty all they can do is watch over others!!!

I keep thinking “sitting by the window and having her phone in her lap” I won’t be surprised if she has a magnifying glass + night vision equipment!!!

Cheers,
O

P.S. Allah ey3eyney I'll be parking over there for a whole month!

Still

Back to Ahmadi, again!, to avoid the madness, this time through 9ab7an,
there was something in the still distance of the ever yellow desert,
water was over flowing from the ground,
and a pool was forming as the water kept on pouring from that square hole,

I wanted to call 777 to tell them about it, so they can come and do something, but I didn’t, remembering few incidents with the “defenders of the weak” made me think of all possible excuses not to call, I came up with a couple:

What if by the time they arrive “if ever” the water finish!! ey’7ali9 and with our sun, it will be dried in no time, if I get to make those people come here without finding any thing they’d probably charge me with “ez3ag solo6at” !! mesakien I made them move!!!

It’s happening in the desert why can’t I let the poor land drink some water, it must be really thirsty

By the time I’ve reached the second excuse I’ve already passed it by and without doing anything (shame on me)

…….

Walking in to the office and “he” was sitting there wearing a red polo shirt listening to M7md 3bd elwahab, Ana w el 3aZab w hawak = Me and the suffering and your love, I looked at him

“I didn’t know…”
“don’t think I’ll be in pain, not any more, I’m sending you off, for a year on the other end of the world”
“will I be back?”

I woke up, god that was scarey!!! I guess that was coming from my feeling of guilt,
If I hate someone, I believe that gives them the absolute right to hate me back, but to love me as I hate them, that is just unfair,
I was asking god that eysa’7rah ley
Bas ‘7ala9, 6ofart minah, athaney
And there is no way I can think of or imagine to deal with this person!!!

My work has a great area in my life, and as he exists in it, then he exists in my life,
Oh my god what can I do??!!?!? ;-(

……

Taking cautious steps and searching for them, looking in to the faces of woman, spreading around setting on the floor, in front of each a plastic cup of water and few dates, some would have a piece of bred others would hold in there hands leaves of ray7an, and it’s so calm, I can’t hear what they say as if it’s a still picture,
Young women holding their child to their breasts,
Old women setting quietly leaning to the grand columns,
Some women would go around to give, water, food, a smile
It’s time now, I couldn’t find them, I walk back to my place,

Standing by my side, I hear a trembling voice, a cry and a prayer, I can hear what she is asking, I know what she is praying for and my heart cries with her a silent cry, pleading for her daughter, may god answer your prayers dear mother…

And we pray,
with each movement, I hear the clouds moving,
the sound when they are racing before a storm,
and it’s glory alarms my heart, in an instant tranquility, and I blend in…

Hands reaching, grapping the black fabric, holding, unyielding, it’s so great and powerful, beyond sound, beyond tears, I see the cry in their tightened hands

Cheers,
O

الودائع البنكية تقارب 17 مليارا
فائض الميزان التجاري يتجاوز 5 مليارات دينار في النصف الاول

.

عرض 'الشال' ما تضمنته النشرة الاحصائية الفصلية (ابريل ـ يونيو 2007) لبنك الكويت المركزي (نشرت على موقعه على الانترنت)، من مؤشرات اقتصادية ونقدية، 'تستحق تطوراتها متابعة وتوثيقا'.وقال ان من هذه المؤشرات، مثلا، ان إجمالي عدد السكان في الكويت بلغ، في نهاية النصف الأول من العام الحالي، نحو 3.328 ملايين نسمة، وهو رقم يزيد بنحو 145.1 ألف نسمة، تقريبا، عن الرقم الذي سجله تعداد نهاية العام الفائت،

.

ما يعني أن معدل النمو نصف السنوي لعدد السكان قد سجل نسبة 4.56%، وهي نسبة ستصل إلى 9.12%، فيما لو حسبت على أساس سنوي، وفي فقرة أخرى من التقرير نفسه نذكر تفاصيل أرقام السكان والعمالة من المصدر، أي الهيئة العامة للمعلومات المدنية. الميزان التجاري

.

ومن هذه المؤشرات، أيضا، تحقيق الميزان التجاري -صادرات سلعية ناقصا واردات سلعية،- فائضا بلغ نحو 2.692 مليار دينار، في الربع الثاني من العام الحالي، بعد أن بلغت قيمة صادرات الكويت السلعية، خلال هذا الربع، نحو 4.294 مليارات دينار كويتي، منها نحو 95.4% صادرات نفطية، بينما بلغت قيمة وارداتها السلعية (لا تشمل العسكرية) نحو 1.602 مليار دينار. وكانت الكويت حققت فائضا، في الربع الأول من العام الحالي، بلغ نحو 2.434 مليار دينار، أي ان الميزان التجاري قد حقق فائضا، بلغ نحو 5.126 مليارات دينار، في النصف الأول من العام الحالي، أو نحو 10.251 مليارات دينار، فيما لو حسب لكامل عام 2007، وهو فائض أقل، بما نسبته 11.15%، عن مثيله القياسي المحقق، في عام 2006، البالغ نحو 11.538 مليار دينار، ولكن فائض عام 2007 الفعلي يعتمد على حركة أسعار النفط، التي مازالت مرتفعة.الفائدة

.

وتشير النشرة إلى انخفاض المعدل الموزون للفائدة على الودائع، إلى نحو 5.282%، في الربع الثاني، من نحو 5.413%، في الربع الأول من العام الحالي، أي بنسبة انخفاض ربع سنوي تقارب 2.4%، وانخفض، كذلك، المعدل الموزون للفائدة على القروض، إلى نحو 8.588% من نحو 8.759%، للفترة نفسها، أي بنسبة انخفاض ربع سنوي قاربت 1.95%. وبلغ حجم الودائع، لدى البنوك المحلية، نحو 16.906 مليار دينار كويتي، في نهاية الربع الثاني من العام الحالي، بارتفاع طفيف عن مستوى 16.491 مليار دينار كويتي، في نهاية الربع الأول، أي بنسبة ارتفاع ربع سنوي بلغت نحو 2.5%. وارتفعت، كذلك، مطالب البنوك على القطاع الخاص، إلى نحو 19.109 مليار دينار كويتي، من مستوى نحو 17.134 مليار دينار كويتي، في نهاية الربع الأول، محققة نسبة نمو ربع سنوي قاربت 11.5%، وهي نسبة نمو مرتفعة، لابد من مراقبتها. يحدث ذلك رغم ثبات سعر الخصم، وانخفاض جاذبية الودائع بانخفاض سعر الفائدة عليها، وانخفاض تكلفة الاقتراض معها، ما يعني أن هناك توسعا نقديا، معه أنهى الربع الثاني من عام 2007 على ارتفاع كبير في أسعار الأصول المالية والعقارية

.

So if we simply took that amount and divided it among the people, each one would get 10,000KD “that gives you a whole new perspective for the 200KD!!”

.

I’d rather that all that extra money for this year only would be used to construct an infrastructure for this poor country, for gods sake “فج الليت انت مو فالكويت” beyond the fashlah this is serious issue!!

.

And people and consumption is not going any less it’s only heading upward so please, wagfow el “S, in English and B, in Arabic” for one year and invest in the welfare of the country, “power stations, streets, sewage, waste management; in your definition it’s what you do when you dump waste to the see, medical services; we know all the ‘7yas after the astegwab of wazyer el 9e7ah, schools, etc”

.

I think you do live in this land, don’t you? And enshallah allah ey3aw’9kom next year and you can “S or B” as much as you like!!

.

And of course you are not going to spend the entire amount in the first year, so if we take what we need and have a bit for emergency and put the rest for investments for the rest of the year so out of the 17,000,000,000 Kd that we have extra, how much would be the initial cost to build a new city? “cause improving the one we have would be waste of time and money”

.

So that would be a God giving project to save and develop the country and put the ‘7ayer of the land in the land, by the way we are a desert country, mo 9ayreynly 3yen 3atharey, at least have pity on us, ma nakser al’7a6er??

Straight, Single & Senney Valentino

All good guys are taken by now “I’m only talking about specifically my age group”
What’s left is the following:

What men are and that’s divided to what they think they are and what they really are;

They all have girlfriend(s) each one would have more than one

Kings on earth for the sole reason he is a man

Knows every thing and understand everything, yes Einstein

Life is simple for him cause he already got it all figured out

Having no goals, shino ya3ney having no goals?!, they have goals many goals al7yen he goes and he makes goals for you bel sekkah!!!

His long distanced desire, weyn ba6la3 el yom?

Has no degree, why should he eyta3eb nafsah having education and learning to get a degree, don’t you know that he has connections?!

His hobby, Dewaneyah, mo’7ayam, Shalaih, 7oby those are places not activities, give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him what do you do in those places?
Swalif, nel3ab Koot bo 6, eat, ne’9’3a6 ba3a’9, hmmm ee that’s about it
OH MY GOD Impressive!!!

Sports?? That’s a very very stupid question; only take a look at the places they park their cars to avoid walking for three lousy steps!!!

Any ideas, point of views about hmmm, give them a brake and let the question broad maybe they have something, any thing? The simple answer would be, why?

Reading? He doesn’t even read signs Mr. Know it all, would you honestly think that he’d read a book!!

He is always busy and has no time, I’d love to know what the hell he does in that time, wild guess, staring and gossiping, hmm yes someone has to do it in this country!!

Thinking that who speaks English are show offs and eytefalsfoon, not human being with an ability to actually speak and communicate in different language, baby you from all people should know how hard is that since it’s hard enough for you to speak in one!!

Ultimate success, having a paying job with no work to do for it

Their definition of manhood, the guy who can swear, hit, drive fast and have his womEn

What men want is:

Wa7dah that “Onothah 6a’3yah” 7ata low ohwa se7t eyeb elma7ey, excuse me never heard of a show called “extreme make over”??? External beauty can be achieved within 6 weeks my darling

Te6ba’7 is her most important asset, yal el3abgarey, in your life time at your house ma yebtow a maid who even doesn’t speak the language ma ta3lmt el cocking ehya and that goes on for the 6baby’7 too, males and females, tra it’s not making split of the atom!!

And goes without saying “no active brain” shay yeg3ad ey6al3ah o yeg3ad eyetkalam o eytekalam o ehya by all means ma etred wala et7achah o laykon she has an opinion, shino hatha b3d? hatha ely nagi9!! ohwa bs ely ey3aref kil shay entay Female tadreyn shino F.E.male???
For Entertaining Male
O bas!!

Wala enta ely have no idea what female is, and honestly there is no point in telling you cause it’s a waste of breath!! But there are things you need to know:

1)First of all F.E.M.A.L.E 3la goltik stands for;

Fundemental Element for Mankind to Acquire Life on Earth!!!

2)Body is a container, its fragile so fragile that any object can tare it apart and get your sole out of it, when you are with a human any human their body mo elley is talking to you or comforting you or making you feel, “people are felt rather seen after the first few moments*”,
Our remaining guys as if mo shayfeyn ‘7yer their time span lasts more than moments, may’7alif, but it does vanish that initial infatuation of looks,

After that you’ll find out that looks is not funny or caring, body is not warm, it’s not in the touch its in the way you touch, beauty is not in the eye, it’s the way you look, 3ayal imagine beautiful eyes with dirty looks, dirty meaning hating and degrading mo ….,

3) do you know how God judge us?? By our acts hon, do you know how people make actions and decisions? By something known as thoughts, do you know what’s collective thoughts of different life aspects would make? Personality
yes that’s right, that’s where you have your values, ideas, hopes, aspiration, character, uniqueness and in it all a power is formed and can be converted in to something valuable called LIFE, guess that’s too much for you to process in one day!!!

Wake up guys and somehow in this country you have been given a power, o el9ara7ah who is left are so not kaffow, to make the choice, looks wont stand by your side, it’s the person within if that’s what you are looking for still, then that’s what you totally deserve and thanks for making your self so identifiable so that you can be easily avoided!!

A wish:

I’ve retired of being a helpless romantic, but in my heart I'd like to make this wish, that I’d know or hear or see a guy that is admirable and fascinating, just to know that he exists,

back in the years when I was in the romanticize service, I use to think that, as in this time and age god has made someone like me, wouldn’t it make sense that there would be a male like me too? And that gave me hope but didn’t last long,

now I need that hope back even if I don’t get that guy, it would be such a relief to know that a guy exists,

someone true, caring, knows who he is and what he wants to be, has his own mind, someone who believes in god, that you can carry on with a conversation that would result of something even if it was as simple as a genuine smile, that you can depend on, some one who’d never look down to you just because you are a woman, who’d see in your growth and success an added value to you and to the relationship, someone who’d respect you even if he didn’t agree with you, someone who’d make you an equal and a priority not some sort of accessory, and why can’t he be that in an acceptable package, we work on ourselves to look nice can’t he?

Is it too much to ask?

How election results in Turkey can effect our 7gab style in Kuwait?

انقرة (ا ف ب) - توصف خير النساء غول التي يتوقع ان تصبح السيدة الاولى في تركيا هذا الاسبوع بانها سيدة مرحة وانيقة تتجنب الاضواء الا ان الحجاب الذي يغطي رأسها جعل منها شخصية مكروهة من قبل العلمانيين المتشددين
ويعرف عن خير النساء (42 عاما) انه سيدة متدينة تحرص على اداء الصلوات الخمس يوميا. وهي زوجة وزير الخارجية عبد الله غول الذي اصبح من المؤكد انتخابه رئيسا للبلاد الثلاثاء
وتقول خير النساء ان حجابها الذي يكرهه المعارضون باعتباره رمزا لتحدي النظام العلماني هو خيار شخصي يجب احترامه
ويعتبر حجابها من القضايا الرئيسية التي اثارها المعارضون لترشيح غول رئيسا للبلاد والذي اثار ازمة سياسية حادة مطلع هذا العام بين الحكومة ذات الجذور الاسلامية والجيش العلماني
وتفرض الدولة حظرا على ارتداء الحجاب في المكاتب الحكومية والجامعات التركية وهذا ما يجعل من الصعب على العلمانيين تقبل مسالة دخول خير النساء القصر الرئاسي الذي يعتبر البيت الذي يرمز لمصطفى كمال اتاتورك مؤسس العلمانية في البلاد والذي يتمتع بمنزلة خاصة في تركيا
وبحكم كونها زوجة وزير الخارجية فقد زارت خير النساء العديد من دول العالم وتقول ان حجابها لم يتسبب لها باية مشكلة في اي بلد سوى بلدها تركيا
وتؤكد خير النساء ان تدينها لا يحول دون كونها امرأة عصرية ترفض القيود المفروضة على النساء في الدول الاسلامية
وتقول "لقد كنت اوصل بسيارتي عبد الله الى عمله والاطفال الى المدرسة (...) ولا اتخيل ان اعيش في دولة لا تستطيع فيه النساء قيادة السيارات"
ولكن بالنسبة للعلمانيين المتشددين فان خير النساء تبقى مدافعة قوية عن الحجاب الذي يقولون انه يمثل تراجعا عن الاصلاحات الهائلة التي طبقها اتاتورك لتحرير المرأة
وكانت خير النساء تقدمت بشكوى الى المحكمة الاوروبية لحقوق الانسان في عام 2002 عندما رفضت جامعة انقرة السماح لها بالتسجيل فيها بسبب حجابها
الا انها سحبت الشكوى بعد ان تولى حزب العدالة والتنمية السلطة عام 2002 واصبح زوجها وزيرا للخارجية
وقالت في وقت لاحق "عندما يتم حل هذه المشكلة اريد ان ادرس في الجامعة (...) رغم تقدمي في العمر"
ولكن وفي عام 2005 ايدت المحكمة الاوروبية لحقوق الانسان الحظر على الحجاب في قضية رفعتها طالبة تم طردها من جامعة اسطنبول بحجة ان ذلك قد يكون ضروريا لحماية النظام العلماني في تركيا في مواجهة الحركات المتطرفة
وفي حال فوز غول في انتخابات الرئاسة ستصبح خير النساء سيدة المنزل الذي حظر عليها دخوله بسبب حجابها
وكان الرئيس المنتهية ولايته احمد نجدت سيزر يرفض دعوة النساء اللواتي يرتدين الحجاب الى حفلات الاستقبال التي تقام في القصر الرئاسي مما يعني انه كان ممنوعا على معظم زوجات اعضاء حزب العدالة والتنمية بمن فيهن امينة زوجة رئيس الوزراء رجب طيب اردوغان دخول القصر الرئاسي
ومثل والدتها فان ابنة غول التي تبلغ من العمر 22 عاما ترتدي الحجاب
الا انها على عكس والدتها درست في الجامعة وكانت ترتدي شعرا مستعارا فوق حجابها وهو ما تفعله الكثير من الشابات اللواتي يرغبن في الحصول على التعليم الجامعي دون التخلي عن معتقداتهن الدينية
وفي محاولة لارضاء العلمانيين طلب من مصمم ازياء تركي بارز اعادة تصميم حجاب السيدة الاولى المستقبلية بشكل "يجمع ما بين تألق هوليود وجدية وضعها الجديد"
وكانت خير النساء تركت دراستها الثانوية ولم يتجاوز عمرها 15 عاما لتتزوج من عبد الله غول الذي كان عمره 32 عاما وذلك بعد ان التقى الاثنان في حفلة زفاف في بلدتهما الاصلية قيسيري وسط تركيا. ولهما ابنان وابنة

I can not tolerate stupidity!!!

I’m supposed to receive help from an “expert” whom all I get from is waste of time and energy, it has been 7 days of back and forth consultations which I keep repeating my self, like twice a day in different style each time لعل و عسى that idiot would understand, but no تأبى المرؤه I’d better go make my self a child wait till it grows up and then ask him before my so called “expert” would give me an answer!! And after all that pain, I walla scream when I get an email from him, if there is a gage on my nerves it would have been broken since day one, on the seventh day, I get the following email,
Hi,
I am tied up this week…..
In the meantime, can you get assistance from …..?

Why the hell you haven’t said that before !?!?!?

Am I supposed to go through explaining process all over again!!!
Just shoot me

On the way home on the radio some dump مذيع was interviewing this guy about Kuwait latest earthquake, it’s a 4.3 for god’s sake, haven’t you seen what happened in Pure those poor poor people having a 7.7 degrees and 400 reversing quakes after which left 200,000 homeless, there where an entire family lives only on 5 dollars a week, here فاضين Kuwaitis made it a salfah, so the مذيع asks questions that a 10 year old would know the answer to and the guy would replay with “terms” and definitions, until the hot shot مذيع asks; what degree would be considered dangerous and distractive? Finally a sensible question, guess what was the long detailed answer about? “We are not able to forecast earthquakes” are you kidding me?!
It was a straight easy question, given that you are the “expert” I believe a simple figure should cover it, but I believe he used a method called divertion, just like my “expert” used with me to divert me, he diverted the topic so that he doesn’t have to replay “I don’t know”
Man you are on a "radio" interview we don’t "see" you, abuse the situation, google it!! I did and the answer is 7

Cheers,
O

P.S.
For further details on Earthquake Severity
Richter Earthquake
Magnitudes Effects

Less than 3.5 Generally not felt, but recorded.

3.5-5.4 Often felt, but rarely causes damage.

Under 6.0 At most slight damage to well-designed buildings. Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions.

6.1-6.9 Can be destructive in areas up to about 100 kilometers across where people live.

7.0-7.9 Major earthquake. Can cause serious damage over larger areas.

8 or greater Great earthquake. Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred kilometers across.

Childhood

In my world my experience, just as I believe every one else is, has been developed through environment and other people direct or indirect actions

Fortunately being born at the 80’s in Kuwait actually got me a childhood, where we used to be normal kids watching cartoons and playing games out in the 7owsh with other kids, ultimate happiness would be by receiving a heart shaped lollypop from great grandma, looking for spider webs in the bricks of the old house and tearing them apart, believing every thing we were told like “if you lied and go to sleep you’ll wake up with a tail!!” that’s creepy, reading my first story “Florence Nightingale” losing my teeth “the seen wasn’t that lovely” and getting the famous question “how many windows have you got?”

Thank god for that

Now in Kuwait there is no more kids, you walk around and a 13 year old would dress up like a 25 year old plus the attitude!!
Seriously what went wrong???

I feel sorry for them; I really can’t see how they’d grow up to be adult humans, while they are skipping an entire decade of their lives, becoming copy cats of others

That’s a serious issue thinking that this upcoming generation would rule us one day, hell no I don’t want to be here when that happens, it’s not that hard to point the finger on who is to blame on that, I think it’s mostly the parents and yes call it conspiracy theory but I’d also blame greed,

those companies who can’t let an entire population out of reach and would like to market their products to them regardless of any measure other than they are moving loads of cash, and it’s not just the traders also the media, we live in the time and age where concepts of wrong and right has vanished where every one going for the fast lane, and that subsequently has corrupted the lives of our new coming humans

But still the responsibility for raising those kids falls on the parents, and yes now they have more challenging task to protect their kids, instead the new definition of Kuwaiti parents are Kumar the driver and Mary the maid and by the time they hit 13 they are on their own if not earlier,

god have mercy on our souls, if you guys are not up to the responsibility of having kids please don’t bring them!!

Cheers,
O
