The Lady With the Police Baton
Abdurrahman's Blog - Fri, 2008-09-05 04:17 By Abdurrahman G
Okay, so here's the thing. Your car gets hit from the rear, you step out and call the police, but end up with a lady swinging a police baton at your face wanting to kick your ass. You're threatened to get a chronic injury if you call the cops... and guess what? She's a police officer's daughter.. to my knowledge at least. She also said swearwords to the man, and what's worse is that she insulted the divine entity. read more »

In Memory Of The 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War)
Fadfadation - Sun, 2007-10-07 11:42 By Fadfadation
It has been 34 years since the 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War).
If anyone searches the Internet for info about the war or asks a foreigner what they know about that war, the result is one thing... The Israelis won!
As for us Arabs\Muslims, we believe we won (at least us Egyptians won on our side).
Why Foreigners think we lost the war?

Dictatorship…but among who?
Politikia and the Society - Sat, 2007-09-15 01:14 By
Dictatorship, something which most human beings in our world suffered from in a time or another when talking about regimes. All people know or feel how does it look like to fall under the burden of a dictator of some sort or another. But here, I am not talking about it while dealing with regimes usually supported by the west. Here I’m talking about people. The reflections of cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression, on the people, and what does it lead to. About the results. As a universal law, every action has a reaction, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This eternal physical law can be applied on people while still being politically correct.

The Regime and Mario

I guess that we are in the same place with that person who plays Mario here in this video. In democratic administrations, the game is so hard, but things develop in the right way. But in Egypt, the regime cheats to make the game impossible :)

Egypt - Is it Still a Regional Leader?
Gr33n Data - Sat, 2007-06-23 00:34 By
We were taught in schools that Egypt is the leader of the Arabs and their big brother with its bzillion years history and wise role. But, is this still true now!? In fact I think the Egyptian leadership has shrank due to many reasons.
Some may claim that Mubarak's regime is focused on some minor internal affairs such as preparing his son Gamal to succeed him. And this is the main reason that Egypt has lost its regional place. read more »
