Why Oh Why?

Fuck the heck. I was trying to be nice, but seriously. This guy has got to be stopped. He makes Michael Savage look like Albert Einstein. I was minding my own business, but again, I got a status update. Yep, dude got published again, and, honestly, between his impenetrable logic and John Madden's telestrator skills, my head is going to explode. So, again, without further ado, part three of an ongoing series, where I FJM this guy and his "Promotion of Virtue, Prevention of Vice". Seriously, anybody that knows this guy, direct him to this space. I would, but I don't think he'd like me very much, and one of my new year's resolutions is to be liked. I am not fucking that shit up this early in the year. See me in August, after part 143, then maybe we can talk.

It seems that some MPs, regardless of who the new government will contain at the various ministerial posts, will still face the incoming government head on, for the sake of starting a confrontation.

This guy's nickname is probably master of the obvious. Seriously, man? You mean to say that these guys argue for the sake of arguing? I mean, sure, in some countries- where the Parliament actually has a say in what goes on in the country- politicians do have other reasons to argue. But in a country like ours, where the Parliament is a puppet for the ruling family- mainly the Emir, the only reason to argue is to argue. Surely you don't think these fucks, whose shelf lives are basically a few months, decide the goings on in the country, do you?

Such a mentality could perhaps be due to a lack of clear ideas and objectives on the part of the various MPs hence attack is their best defense.

This just in. Some arguments made by these MPs are baseless in nature and don't establish much of a dialogue. What's next? You're gonna tell that the incoming President of the United States is a Black guy with an Arab middle name and a white mother? This I gotta see.

Alternatively, it could be due to their defiant stance whereby they categorically refuse the government's decisions if they don't get to push forward their personal ag
endas and their vision of society on their fellow citizens.

Also, politicians have ulterior motives for going into politics. It is not for the betterment of their country. Some are in it for pussy while others just want to smoke crack.


Some of the MPs ideologies' seem to consider that people are unworthy of being knowledgeable about their own good hence they the 'enlightened ones' need to lead people in the direction they so believe is right!


Isn't that the basis of government? And, while we are at it, aren't these people elected to their respective offices by the people? In a sense, the same people that these MPs deem unworthy are the ones that elect them. Of course, I could be wrong.

The endless push by Salafists and Islamic Constitutional Movement to create a 'moral police' similar to neighboring Saudi Arabia is a blatant insult to the Kuwaiti people and we don't need such a police in Kuwait. Certainly, we don't need people to tell us what is permissible or not.

I beg to differ, my good man. We actually do since we are a Muslim country and the ruler of our country is actually the one held accountable in the eyes of the Almighty if, in fact, we do stray from the teachings of the religion and the Quran.

Our Constitution guarantees personal freedom and all Kuwaitis hold such a right dear. Further, if we bear in mind that man can judge man for crimes committed against him , the Almighty is certainly not in need of vice-regents on earth to ensure that his laws are followed. He personally will judge in his own court on a day where each person will be held accountable for their deeds.

Yes, but it also doesn't deflect from the teachings of the religion. There is no separation of church, or in this case, mosque, and state in Kuwait.

Today, we are fed up with the endless quarrels that waste people's time and energy. We are also fed up with the meaningless laws that have been passed recently with no consideration to the overall development of the nation and its institutions.

I am also fed up with trying to critique your articles, my good man. However, I do it because it is my civic duty as a Kuwaiti citizen to help enlighten the people of my country, a job that is entrusted to you sadly.

We are a country blessed with a golden commodity; instead of pumping money abroad to save foreign corporations of failure, we ought to create new corporations at home.

This is your first good point. I wholeheartedly agree.

I am not too aware of the K-Dow JV technical deal.

Then why the fuck are you writing about it? Writing 101. You write what you know. If a sports writer writes about, oh, I don't know, Watergate or something, would you read his account? Or would you rather read Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's account of the scandal, an account that is required reading for every journalism student and did for Journalism schools and their admission figures what John Grisham novels did for law schools and theirs. If reading isn't your thing, and from reading your articles, I can tell that it isn't, you can watch the movie. I reccomend that you do. All The President's Men is awesome.

However, if the project is going to go ahead, then perhaps PIC should consider the nation's interest and ensure that the headquarters' in the upcoming years is shifted to Kuwait and that all the research facilities of the new company should be moved likewise to Kuwait in order to ensure that we start developing research and development at home.


You want the headquarters of a multinational corporation to be in Kuwait? Why would they ever do that?

The criteria that Michigan state area that it has all the basic infrastructure necessary, is certainly not an excuse if we are vying to become a leading business hub. If we will be forced to pay up to a $2.5 billion cancelation penalty, we ought to take the initiative to maximize the returns both financial and technical of such a project.

I am reminded that this guy doesn't watch Channel Four and their continuous, award winning coverage of the Parliament proceedings. I forgive him. (Note: Coverage of the proceedings is not award winning to the best of my knowledge.)

In order for the real issues to be debated and discussed, I call on those in Parliament to be responsible individuals to fear God and to have the interest of our country above their own interest. This because they swore to serve the nation and not their pockets. If in doing so they can manage both then it's all in their honor.

Wait, didn't this guy call for the seperation of state and religion? How did God factor into this again? I'm confused to say the least.

However, if the latter takes the precedent of the first, then I believe that the people will stand behind the government to demand better services and opportunities.

Right, because the people of this country don't think that the government, and not the Parliament, is responsible for the proceedings of everything in the country.

The time is ticking and the more time we waste discussing meaningless topics, the harder it will be to diversify in the years to come. The government should adopt a new attitude according to which it should come up with feasible targets for overall development and should streamline reforms.

Why can't your articles contain more useful nuggets of information like this one?

Bearing in mind the growing number of graduates joining the active workforce, enough is enough. It is time to walk the talk rather than simply state vague ideas without taking any real follow-up action.

How can you walk the talk? This guy is worse than the bartender with Tourette's in The Boondock Saints. On that note, I am going to make like a tree and get the fuck out!
