you don't like my jokes?

PLEASE watch the movie first: it's only 30seconds


Was it funny? NOOO
but it's funny for some (the intel people)
how many times, you said something thought it's funny and no one laughed, because they didn't get it OR they didn't think it's funny?
well, it happens a lot to me
It's so mysterious how the human mind works, although we all see same objects, everyone of us interpreted it differently, sometimes to the extremes.
yet we all humans, but we never all agree on one thing, no matter how beautiful it's: flower, sun, babies laughs, the drop of a water on very gentle green leave .....
for someone somewhere there's a reason to hate this stuff: can you blame an Asthma patient for hating flowers or pets? (for example)
we have to admit we are different, that every person is a unique biological system :)
but then what?
how we should deal with our differences?
i see only 2 ways:
First: to accept the individual differences and see it as a enrichment to the group, use it, to expand the group benefits
OR
Second: to set a majority rule and eliminate all the other different rules
which is very much what is happening to the society NOW
I'm deeply sad to see the society turns to a MONOvoice
that's bad
we don't all laughs for the same jokes, like same music, read the same articles, believe in the same believes, WE ARE different.
if i'm a geek don't laugh at me because you are not, if i'm a christian don't ask me to wear what you wear because that what you think is right, if i'm a girl don't just assume that i can't think or drive just because you have different hormones, .....
and the list can go on for pages
Conclusion: if you don't like my jokes, it's not because it's bad, it's simply different.

changing the hardware not the software

my credit card expired and i went to the bank to get the new one

it was a piece of cake, it only took me seconds to get my new one

HONESTLY

but i woke up from this dream when i start to using it, it doesn't work

i went back to the nice young smiling lady to tell her: it doesn't work, is there something that should be done to activate it or something?

she: yes of course, you should call the number wrote on the enveloppe, oh my god, didn't i tell you that??

me: no you didn't

she: well i'm sorry, you should call this number first to activate the card

me: why can't you activate it now using your computer to get to the system

she: i'm sorry i can't, well you know when you call you'll have to answer some private questions, so i can't do it for you

OMG: private!!!! how a bank ask private information more then what's already there, the bank is the only establishment in the world that know exactly where do you live, how much money you have, your the security number, your date of birth, place of birth, telephone numberssss, sometimes your relatives......?

what more private can it be?

i said to myself may be the questions will be the kind of: your first boyfriend's name, have you ever been kissed, what flavor of ice cream you prefer?

any way, i tried to call this 5 digital number and as expected it's has this unsuportable lady of:

جميع عملاؤنا مشغولون الآن بخدمة عملاء أخرين

so i waited .. waited .. redialed .. waited .. waited

and finally someone answered and asked me 3 questions:

1- number of the card

2- account

3- birth date

and then he said: the card is activate now, you can use in 2 hours

WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is it???

what was the private questions, i missed it: the card number or my birth date???

this information are already there on every bank form, the man didn't even ask for my name

can someone please explains to me the necessity of this call

the bank had hired people to ask the clients for their birth dates?? total waste of money and time

i guess some genius said that banks in Europe use a 5 digital phone number to offer more services to the clients and we should do that, obviously they did it without thinking about the usability of the process

AS a writer i like very much (Soliman Gouda) wrote once in almasry alyoum that the government always change the hardware only and not the software

meaning they rebuild the offices, install computers and high tech devices but the procedures are the exact same thing

an obvious example is (elbosta), they still use the paper cards that are there since the beginning of the millennium and then they check the account on the computer, and 70% of the time the network is down

Waste of time and money or as gouda said: changing the hardware not the software

talk shows scarecrow

I always find dealing with any governmental department a nightmare

sometimes things turned out good and i finish my paper in a quick decent amount of time and sometime i just gave up and leave

BUT some people go to the extreme behavior and give the employees what they deserve: HARD TIME

i was in a place to issue a certificate, a lady enter the facility and started to argue with 2 staff women about her papers, they (so calmly) told her that they can do nothing for her, and that her paper was already processed and stop coming asking about it

what she did was BOLD

she said: OK, i'll shoot you with my mobile and send it to the minister and all the talk shows.

and she did; she took her mobile and opened the camera and shoot everyone in the office and said in a loud voice those people refused to finish my papers.

SO guess what happened?

the office principal called the head of security and told him to confiscate the mobile, the woman refused, so they negotiate ..........

the head of security pushed the offices staff to finish her papers and in return she'll delete the movie she recorded on her mobile.

and they did

SO people now in any governmental office have a scarecrow called TALK SHOW.

what the woman did was bold in my judgment and it shows the great effects of the stupid (my opinion) talk shows in the community

they weren't intimidate when she said she'll file a complain to the minister, but when she said she'll send the movie to the shows

that's an enormous problem because, the talk show in a way represent the society supervision but the truth is that non of the talk show hosts are honest or fair when discussing any issue (ALL OF THEM)

so should we giving the monster the tools to destroy us? or start first taming it?

AVATAR: wow

I went to see the avatar with a friend and yes it worth's the buzz around it.
the idea of watching a 3D movie is awesome, the small butterflies, leaves, .... flying out of the screen approaching to you is magical
but what i want to talk about is the concept of the movie itself
the movie is about a planet filled with a precious item, the US army want it, so they take it
even if this means killing the planet population and ruining the planet environment and system, that's why some Arabs think it's a metaphor about Iraq
but the director is working on this movie for a 12 years, long before the 9/11
was he so wise to read the future? or was he just telling a story?
no one can answer this but James Cameron himself
the movie forced us to think about a specific question: where's my limit to benefit from a natural source? are you valid because you are strong or because you are right?
