You need a spellchecker and a cut and paste job on your brain (or lack thereof). You are so arrogant to believe everyone is inferior to you. No, we do not need spellchecks. Yes, we went to school. Yes, we have brains. No, you are not worth a dime. "Sandnigger" is a racial slur - yet more proof of your vulgarity. I have figued out that you have used it to mask your worthlessness. Go take a flying leap. tweez - I think the love disappeared when this creature could not handle a debate and masked his insecurities with profanity and personal attacks. And so I waste no love on him. And after this, I will waste no more time on him either. Mark - It is a sad day when people like holla use your blog to air their hate and hot air. I am all for blogging and discussions they spark. It is just hard to stomach some of the comments you get from pathetic, uneducated people. Too bad you can't choose your audience. You would get more serious and less vulgar commentary. holla - You are a sad specimen. You need a spellchecker and a cut and paste job on your brain (or lack thereof).

I was talking about holla comparing himself to losers in the blog world!

Noname: Thank you for the compliment about my writing, but why do you assume I'm a she? About blogging - yes you're right - it does give so many people a God complex and a sense of worth, which is kind of sad because that means they don't get that kind of validation in real life. "When you compare crap to crap, it is still crap - it's just that it might be more fresh." So so true. So many people in Kuwaiti blogworld spend all their time making fun of everyone and everything in Kuwait and elsewhere, and do so purely to try and make themselves seem so much "cooler" in comparison. They're not criticizing or critiquing Kuwait to be constructive and engage in useful dialogue - thta kind of critique is actually beneficial to this country - but most are just whining to show how much "better" (they think) they are. It's sad...because there are so many of them out there. Like you said, it's all still crap. But on the flip side, there are some very worthwhile Kuwaiti bloggers who do know how to participate in intelligent (and intelligible) discussions. The comment above was directed at holla.

Your problem is that you are not making a sinlge argument that you then do not go on to contradict. I do not understand where you get this arrogance and belief that you are better and more intelligent than everyone here. I carry two Master's degrees from Ivy League universities in the US. I grew up tri-lingual. I do not work for the government. And if English is your first lanaguage, I would get grammar lessons pronto! K does not make a single error in her comments, whereas yours are rife with inconsistencies (both linguistic and content-based). You would not get a job anywhere else in the world, except maybe with the Fox news network or another such tabloid-esque "news" establishment. You lack all of the essentials for reporting: a knowledge of grammatical conventions and an ability to apply them; an ability to write based on fact rather than hype; the ability to recognize that you do not know it all and a desire to seek knowledge always. Forget trying for a visa buddy. As an American (I am American/Kuwaiti), I can tell you, we don't want you! (Note to more intelligent life forms - This is why I sometimes hate blogging; it gives losers a God complex when they compare themselves to other losers and think they are hot stuff by comparison.

Uhh...where did you get that from? I haven't mentioned anything about working in the government sector. I like how you pull things out of your ass. Like I mentioned before, nothing you said here has followed any sort of a logical, coherent, or intelligent argument. And what I've said here has nothing to do with being nationalistic. I can identify 1001 problems with Kuwait and I am usually the first to admit that. The difference is, I add value to this country by doing something with my life to help make a difference. All you do is complain, and, by my standards, people who just sit and complain are nothing but part of the problem. Let's hope you finally take this new opportunity you have on the newspaper to write something constructive and interesting (and educated) and not just whine like you have here. You might thing you sound all radical and cool - really you just sound adolescent and pathetic. “getting paid to be a lazy POS kuwaiti slob is your idea of heaven? hahahah thanks for shooting yourself in the foot.” Uhh…where did you get that from?

I just said you were bitter and angry - in general, in life. It's just that your excessive animosity against Kuwait seems to beg some underlying reason for your hatred. I ask, once again, if you hate this country so much and can't find a single thing positive to say about it, then, seriously, why are you here? Since it's obvious you'd be happier someplace else, why not just leave? What's holding you to the place? Could it be the fact that you have a job here that you wouldn't be able to get anywhere else? Heh...surprise, surprise. Better tell your friend to watch out because, according to your prediction, his useless, silly - sorry, "shitty" - little "PC shop" is going to get shut down one day and be replaced by a big corporate franchise like Best Buy.
