I just remember that I had finished downloading 14 HD Episodes of “the Good Wife” I been told is a good a new TV Show! I hope it can make my day!
Thanks for the Idea :)
But, what does make some of us dislike the National day though we used to like it!?
@SWAiN
Anytime Dude
Just a small correction on the first video. It’s “Kuwaiti Beoble” not “peploe”.
lol :r
قمة التخلف من الفاعل و المتفرج القادر على المنع
if no one from the government or the parliment say or DO anything to restrict these careless and reckless actions done by childish and immature people, then they simply are saying that we have no regard whatsoever to the word “RESPECT” ! maybe women shorts are more important to them than such childish irrisponsible actions! i don’t know what kind of nationalism is related to these foaming actions, if any one knows, please let me know how they are related ?
kuwaiti peploe?
I still don’t get what shaving cream has anything to do with liberation and national days.
Wow, the 1st video brought back memories when I was stuck in my apartment in Beirut when Hizballah invaded the streets! I watched the vandalism and gunmen wrecking havoc all over the place… Only difference here is that it’s “legal” and instead of gunmen, they’re “foamkids” :P
I think the young generation will call the national and liberation day foam day 1 and foam day 2!
foam day…how about vandalism day??
kuwaITI MENTALITY
1) Foam cars they can never ever afford in thier lifetime
2) foam is finnished..what to do next..OOH throw the can at the car..of course the expensive car.
3) oooh foam can gone, what to do? oo i have legs lets kick the car….THESE THINGS HAPPENED not in the maseerA BTW at a local 24/7
i know its 25-26…BUT in kuwaity mentality 25-26 means 22,23,24..or basically when the zoo calls to claim its monkeys
“Kuwaiti PEPLOE celebrating HER national day”
:)
hopefully one day whoever have fun in celebrating 25th ,26th with foam wake up and decide to replace foam with less harmful way such as water guns. Then maybe more people can participate and enjoy street celebration
I almost got run over by a hummer that day.. Next year I’ll leave Kuwait for the holidays…

I would rather leave Kuwait than to experience the BS that goes on for the week of the National/Liberation days. There is nothing patriotic about it – it all amounts to vandalism and criminal behavior/mob mentality. Personally, I think it is a national disgrace. What has been historically a time to celebrate has turned into a show of testosterone – venting a year’s worth of pent up aggression by harassing anyone who crosses their path; all within sight of the “authorities”. Not for me, thanks.
