إذا كانت الحضارة أصلها بيت الفلاح, فما هو أصل الفلاح و ماذا كان قبل أن يكون له بيت؟

I ordered a sandwich and a Pepsi this morning from a food car, for breakfast. There weren’t many buyers around but the cash register was down so Mr.Food selling man was writing down the orders on small cards instead and doing the calculations using his brain power.

This morning was hot and I had been running around for two hours or so, therefore I was somewhat tired. I stood in line waiting for my turn to place my order to come but there he was: the bulky guy in the second-skin top.

This is some aspect of the human nature that I do not understand; why do some people feel an undeniable urge to cut lines? I sincerely cannot fathom this.

So Mr. bulky guy in the second-skin top (a most disturbing sight, to tell you the truth) clearly saw me waiting for my turn, which was at this point only one guy away, but nevertheless stood on his tiptoes, stretched his arm up with one JD, arched it in such a fashion that it flew over my head, and displayed an anxious/starving look on his face.

I was disgusted and consequently gave him a “You’re rubbish” look and then ignored him. My order was placed before his, obviously.

It’s these little things in people that pertain to significant mentality backwardness symptoms that disturb me most of all, but until mentalities are fixed, there will always be a bulky guy in some second-skin top that will want to cut the line and will get the “You’re rubbish” look, or a fist in the cheek.

This material you’re about to be enlightened about should not be viewed in the best intention or by minors. Do not share this link with your little sister or any one of your parents no matter how much you dislike them.

I cannot express how fantastically out of this world JoeCartoon is. This is the one and only site where you meet the all-too-famous stoneflies, Joemomma, and lickin’ toads. The language is not user-friendly, so if you’re too sensitive for some fun you had better keep out of the Joe kingdom and suffer utter ignorance that will still torture you on your death bed.

Drama? The patient get to see more.

I propose you start with the stoneflies, and if that passes smoothly you may want to check Joemomma’s featured content then you, umm, take it from there if you’re still not totally grossed-out.

This is a website I grew up loving. Stoned flies? A frog in a blender? Gerbil mania? It’s a bloody mess - one day I will have my plush SuperFly doll and my own nutty toy factory. Mark my words.

Knock yourselves out, everyone!

A new project promising change and progress; Alt School Arabia.

The way we educate our youth is the way we shape our future.

In a region such as the Arab World, where education suffers from major gaps in promoting key values such as democracy, tolerance, and the skills of debate and scientific research, it is imperative that the situation be remedied.

Because inanimate information transfer is the dominant technique used across Arabia, poor education results and mediocre levels of progress distinguish the outcome of schools and universities. It is not the brains nor the desire to learn that are missing; it is quality education that allows active learning and student participation in the educational process.

Luckily, advances in technology and telecommunications provide outlets and ways around obvious educational glitches. Online courses and discussion boards are one form of this ongoing revolution, search tools and interactive applications are another.

The AltSchoolArabia Project is an attempt at providing a trusted source of interactive learning tools for Arab learners via the World Wide Web. It is a project that aims to bridge the gap between current educational policies in the Arab World and what learners need to learn to be active citizens of the 21st century.

Alt School Arabia (1.0) is launched. Suggestions and ideas are welcome!

By way of a friendly suggestion of a reading, I came across an article one could call controversial but a bit on the disgusting side as well. I’ve thought a lot about linking back to the article, only to reach the conclusion that if I do link back to it, or quote it, I would be granting a sexist supreme more exposure than he probably ever deserved. Therefore I will not link to or quote this individual.

What seems to be the point of the article, other than the author stressing that he is being a “man” by ignoring women’s emotions and cheating on his wife then allowing her some rough sex, is to affirm that women secretly crave tough cave men who could walk out on them any minute while publicly sustaining that they want the Hugh Grant sensitive type.

The only point I could agree with is that some movies sell the ultra-sensitive always-there-for-you man image that rarely if ever exists in straight men who are not declared hardcore submissive. I’ll give the author of the article that, and the rest of his alleged affirmations about “what women want” are baseless since, I hope, he’s a man. At least that’s what he likes us to believe.

This brings me to the use of words and the representation of his views. The style in which he expresses himself is as if he is stating undisputed facts, he seldom uses the words “I think” or any that demonstrate that he is expressing his own opinions and views. He rather says “women want this and that”, and “women don’t want this and that”. How do you know what women want? Is it because your wife lets you cheat on her and then make rough love to her and ask her “Who’s the boss” while you’re at it and force her to say YOU? (He said this in his article). Really, who are you to know what women want when what you have at home is a doormat, not a wife?

Calling a man of that type a “man’s man” is a horrible distortion of men’s images. Sincerely speaking, no man should approve of this lest all men be branded utterly sexist and inconsiderate. What is wrong with this person, I reckon, is that he thinks he’s God’s gift to women and that he knows what’s best for them, (walking out in the middle of a conversation, telling them to “shut up” when they’re talking, dominating them in bed, making them feel inferior, making them feel they cannot do without his presence in their lives- to name but a few examples from the article) while what he’s missing is the big picture. God would not send men as gifts to women; we would appreciate a gift certificate much, much better.

What’s most amusing, and I am using the term quite loosely here, about this person is that he affirms in two separate occasions that his wife is a strong and intelligent woman and that he loves her. It’s as if he’s dismissing any ideas we the readers may have of her as being “submissive, stupid and unloved”. Well I am sorry but that is a hard case to win. If a woman is smart enough to run her own life she should know her worth and not stay in a relationship that runs in “his” favour all the time, if she is capable of carrying herself as a modern woman she should not submit to the desires of a sadistic male who could not care less about being faithful or considerate, and if he loves her he would treat her like a human being and not like an object he owns.

At one point of his article this person admits that his wife is more successful than he is, and older than he is. I’m leaning towards the possibility that his dominance in the bedroom may relate to those two facts. Momma’s boy? Jealous of her success and sex is the way you assert your own self and your own success? You need professional help. Just don’t go around telling women what they want. You are clueless as to what women are. ( We do have souls, by the way).

I must admit I am infuriated by this person’s article (note the absence of the word “man”). It saddens me to think that in many relationships the man rules and the woman only obeys, and the man thinks it his birth right to run the show from A to Z and the woman just takes it as if this was true. What ever happened to a relationship being a mutual effort, a mutual passion, a mutual experience? What this person is trying to sell is the old fashioned outdated “I’m tha man” scenario that we have come to discover totally useless.

A word to the wise, Hugh Grant may play too sensitive roles but he’s in demand more than this bigot. Trust me on this one, and get me dinner, boy.
