For the longest time I tried to find the words to describe how I feel seeing Palestinians fight among themselves. And for the longest time, I couldn’t get myself to write about it. But right now, all I want is to vent.

Reality TV Hits a New Low
01Jun07
In a new reality show, a woman who’s going to die very soon will have to decide who will receive her kidney when she dies. Three contestants will compete over her kidney fighting for their lives, literally!
- A dying woman has to decide who will live and who will die
- Three people will fight to live but two of them will be defeated
- Everything is shown on TV
When I was a child, I was taught that religions are very different from each other; shameless comparisons were made and repeated over the years claiming that all other religions are just the opposite of everything my religion is.

While the English song was great, the Arabic one simply rocked! They were asked to repeat it twice. In additon to their original hits, they played awesome music for an hour or so.

In efforts at retaining employees without forking over hefty raises, some companies are trying to woo their staff by lavishing them with impressive sounding job titles… that in reality mean nothing. Not surprisingly, this isn’t meeting with much success since most employees agree that a fancy-schmancy job title is not enough to make them stay in a job.
