No Smoking In Saudi Airports From Sunday http://ow.ly/19PG30

We do have the signs at least in our airports. I am not sure if they are laws or simple and weak executive orders? But in any case, there are plenty of visually bright signs along with so many dressed up officers who have SWORN to apply and respect the laws and to prevent people whom they see from smoking. Now shall we be the last country on earth to respect the simple rights of non-smokers of not inhaling the fumes of those who don't have respect for them selves?

Can I have some ?

شارع في الكويت

2009-12-12T00:08:00.002+03:00

هل من الممكن أن نطلب أو نسأل عن شارع واحد في دولة الكويت (أو على الأقل في مدينة الكويت) بأن يكون بحالة مثالية "تقريبا"

نظيف

منظم

مصمم بشكل جيد

متناسق معماريا

جذاب

بدون ضوضاء بصرية

وبدون اراضي غير مطورة/مبنية

هذا كل ما أطلبه.. هذه امنية العام الجديد.. هل ذلك بالكثير؟

awal shay.. embarak 3aleekom el shahar :)

thaani shay.. i was wondering how many GOOD museums do we have here in Kuwait.. since i don't know.. or i have to think for 5 minutes to get the number, but i don't wana think.. i thought what about the US..

i googled how many museums in the USA.. i got this link for the The American Association of Museums:

There will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers.

United Airlines: a customer reaction to service

2009-07-10T00:45:00.003+03:00

An American songwriter decided to write a song and post it on YouTube after United Airlines baggage handlers mishandled his guitar case and got the guitar broken without satisfying him for what happened.

a cool reaction by the guy!

here is the video..

these are days..

2009-05-24T22:48:00.002+03:00

These are days youll remember.
Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, youll know its true that you are blessed and lucky.
Its true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.

These are days youll remember.
When may is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour.
Youll know its true that you are blessed and lucky.
Its true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.

These are days.

These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.
And when you do youll know how it was meant to be.
See the signs and know their meaning.
Its true, youll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know theyre speaking to you, to you.

الا متى بلا هوية
الا متى بلا ثقافة
الا متى نرمي بمشاكلنا على من لا نستطيع العيش بدون دولاراتهم الجميلة
و منتجات أعمالهم و أعقلهم الذكية
الا متى هي عمياء ادمغتكم يا عرب

اصحوا و ابكوا على حالكم!

هم اناس يعملون و نحن بالبحار سارقون

ولسنا بغير اللسان عاملون
الا اذا لجمال الغرب كنا ضاربون!!

هل ارى من يوم لادمغتنا مفعلون؟
كلا و الف كلا ان كنا بالألسن دائما مهددون وبالبحار للسفن صائدون!!

اتمنى ان يكون دائما منشغلا بمؤلفاته الموسيقية الجميله
وأكون وغيري ممن يستمتع بسماعها بدون انقطاع

الحانه جميلة و عذبة
موسيقاه ممتعة ورائعة
توزيعه جريء ومنسجم

ونحن في هلا فبراير، كم نكون اسعد لو كانت موسيقى الدكتور تتلاعب في هذا المهرجان

كثيرون من يستحقون الرعاية و الدعم، واتمنى أن يكون أولهم

بانتظار جديد ابداعك يا د. سليمان

2009-01-18T00:29:00.002+03:00

why do many bloggers have an identity photo of other people, especially women bloggers!

they have photos of singers, actresses, or models.. is it a msg to the world that they wana be like them? or what?

i would love to know and understand why have other people's faces as your own identity photo!?

a question to all students of higher education?!

2008-12-12T13:05:00.003+03:00

كم ساهمت الانتخابات الطلابية في جامعة الكويت (وكذلك الكليات التقنية والمعاهد التطبيقية والجامعات الاخرى) في تدهور الاوضاع الانتخابية والنيابية كما نراها حاليا؟

ومدى مساهمتها في غرس روح الفرقة بين الاخوة و الاهل و الاصدقاء في محيط اكاديمي بحت في دولة الكويت؟

ولا ننسى دخول هذه القوائم وتأثيرها على الطلبة في مراحل تسبق المرحلة الجامعية

فقط، استفسار للجميع

برجاء اعتبار سؤالي مجرد مقياس لرأي من هم طلبة الان و من كانو على المقاعد الدراسية في اوقات و ازمنة مر عليها الدهر

وشكرا لتعليقاتكم مقدما

ما هو الهدف من المنتدى؟؟؟

يمكنكم ان تنشروا القواعد العامة للوزارة و متطلبات التعامل مع جميع فئات المجتمع الذين يستفيدون من خدمات الوزارة، كما يمكنكم كذلك نشر ارقام الهاتف لجهات الوزارة التي تساعد المراجعين أو المستفسرين عن احتياجاتهم و بنفس الوقت يمكنكم اضافة ما يستدعي الاضافة لاحقا لهذا الموقع.

بالنسبة لي، لم اجد ما كنت ابحث عنه (متطلبات تأسيس الشركات) في الموقع المليئ بالاشكال والألوان و أسعار الاسهم في البورصة!!

please, for god's sake, make official sites SIMPLE.. and no animation please! and no need for stock prices every where!!

just to compare: this is the US Department of Commerce homepage! simple and informative and lovely! it has no Ad's!

"Children of Sanchez" by Chuck Mangione

Without dreams of hope and pride a man will die
Though his flesh still moves his heart sleeps in the grave
Without land man never dreams cause he's not free
All men need a place to live with dignity.

Take the crumbs from starving soldiers, They won't die
Lord said not by bread alone does man survive
Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry
Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes.

Every child belongs to mankind's family
Children are the fruit of all humanity
Let them feel the love of all the human race
Touch them with the warmth, the strength of that embrace.

Give me love and understanding, I will thrive
As my children grow my dreams come alive
Those who hear the cries of children. God will bless
I will always hear the Children of Sánchez.

No mobiles while driving!

2008-03-05T23:12:00.002+03:00

I heared that there is law to be presented for the honarable national assembly by the ministry of the interior. The law would ban talking on the mobile (or maybe using the mobile) while driving. I have no more details for this law or even if this law would be in effect, but i have some thoughts with regard to this law if passed:

1. i am wondering on the possibility of people really puting down their mobiles and not using them.

2. how on earth that few police cars would be following all the people using their mobiles.

3. how about using the headset? and maybe just RECIEVE a call.

4. can i just call someone quick (i will use speed dial!!) and use headset?

5. would SMS's be defined in the law? is it ok to write it? or just read it?!

6. how abut MMS? if SMS's are not defined, would i get away with MMS?

and the LAST and most important point is:

WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SMOKE?? any law to smack them??

NO CAKES,

NO POSTCARDS,

NO ROSES for any birthday!!!

NO GIFT WRAPING for ay 3eed milad present to any person!!!

and most importantly.....

NO CLAPPING AND SINGING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U" IN RESTAURANTS BY WAITERS!!

Santana is coming to Dubai, he is going to performe on the 15th of Feb. Why isn't he performing in Kuwait? they sell his tapes and CD's here? what is the diference if he is not coming here to performe? aren't those 2 matters the same?
