alwatan newspaper reported on May 7th (link in arabic) a move in the government to limit government employees from publishing their criticisims for different reasons among them that they may not be objective. Its interesting in this day and age when everyone should be striving to expand speech rights and transparency, more of the limit everything attitude being displayed.
There should be natural rights awareness around this place. But fear not it only affects government employees. ofcourse considering that public sector employees make up 95% of the kuwaiti workforce.
So anywho, anyone out there got hear from the candidates? I've been slacking off.
Any of them has human rights in their agenda? I read an article the other day about how the candidates who r fighting for their seats back are coming up w/ all these serious issues and insider information and passion for fighting the current problems and the author asked, well why haven't you been fighting for these issues when YOU WERE in the pariliament? Instead the issues we had to deal w/ were cancelling the debts, the seperation and mixing of genders in schools, and public gatherings. (dewaween and tajammo3at)
I honestly doubt this deep in the race there will be that much positive change in the cultrue of the parilament but, one thing we need to do. Voters we must hold our reps accountable. deal?
Now, the word verification thing. Is it really that annoying? some spam is filtered that way. So it has benefit. Lets get a serious debate going regarding the word verification and as usual w/ weekend posts.
Have your best weekend ever.

Word verification thing is very annoying..

I don't mind the word verification!
oh i wanted to work with someone just like last year .. bs i guess i was slacking off as well cuz i didnt .. i believe there are really good people out there .. they just need a chance .. people should really have the awareness to vote for those who would help make a better place of Kuwait .. not just do whatever they wana or help them out as in " wa96a" ... bs unfortunately , everyone would only vote for those who would help them out ..
anyways .. yalla goo have fun :D
Omg, i was just thinking that! The verification thing is such a PAIN! Kil kilma a6wal min ilthaniya!
I havent' heard about candidates that were concerned with liberty of speech etc. There could be some.
I don't mind word verification, though it can be tedious sometimes.
rogue: welcome to my blog and welcome to the blogging world. I hate spam too, seems to make sense :)
Amethyst: By the next elections you will inshallah.
big pearls: thats one vote for the word verification :)
navvyya: Our political activism hasn't matured yet. We need to c more focus from candidates on the issues and want to c clear strategies and goals they hope to achieve.
shoush: your blog doesn't allow anonymous comments so it has less chance to receive spam. But is the word verification really that bad?
N: None of the people who were actualy involved can tell you of a specific agenda for the candidates. It seems that their goals and agendas are pretty much copy/pasted from one another.
