Anyway this thing is not over, we got parliament members who are now pushing for the reinforcement of the ban because there is no greater threat to Kuwait's family structure and the Islamic world than youtube. Watch out Mickey Mouse, you maybe next!

Now I don't need to know about proxy. But damn, this country is going down, down and down. Remember when one of Nowwab said that Barcelona FC logo has a red cross and these are in their shirts bought in Kuwait. See Barcelona FC logo have been changed in Naser stores. Damn they even want to control what we wear. Yoba Ramadan Kareem. To believe that youtube is working, watch this video (note: I do not promote Zain. I have just been captivated by the voice) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GEU7eAd3fw Sherlockhound said

They think power can come by controlling people... controlling what they read, what they hear, what they see, and so how they think... They're too stupid to realize they're only building walls around themselves. they're isolating themselves and creating more hate for them. Sure all they care about is money and power and this is bringing it to them. But apparently they're to stupid to realize that this will come back to them and bite them in the ass sooner not later!

As good old Barry Manilow put it many years ago: ''Just One Voice, Singing in the darkness, All it takes is One Voice, Singing so they hear what's on your mind, And when you look around you'll find There's more than One Voice, Singing in the darkness, Joining with your One Voice, Each and every note another octave, Hands are joined and fears unlocked'' You've got to love Barry- if only for his nose.

”Just One Voice,

Singing so they hear what’s on your mind,

There’s more than

Joining with your One Voice,
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked”

They want ignorance through their censorship, they want punishment for questioning them. We've seen this type of behaviour many times in history, namely the spanish inquisition. The spaniards invented an inquisition in order to punish any decent.. just like our religious mps who are supposed to fight for our freedoms, then they invent their religious commitee to seek out and punish any decent to the way they want us to think, talk and dress. slowly people are starting to understand how dangerous any religion is when it becomes political. things will get worse before they will get better.. just look at saudi and iran.. theyve all had enough of the craziness, and bigotry.
