Every country has its share of idiots.
I wanted to upload a pic, but it was too big, and I'm too lazy to resize, and besides that I haven't got PS CS on my laptop. Oh Bother. =p
Yesterday brought us to face a bumper-to-bumper evening, just like in Cali freeway after 5pm- Rush hour.
Psshh now that's not suppose to be happening, not in Kuwait anyway.
Yet the reason wasn't simply because of the many cars all out rushing. Instead, it's because of an accident.
Okay... but to the point of these traffic jams, you would spot the blunt obviousness, Kuwait is definetly not ready for such a thing. As I recall seeing a SUV suddenly braking with no upfront warning just infront of the cluster of cars- hazard flashers (it's there for a reason)- just zigzaggin in its lane like a maniac.
After getting past traffic, we headed into another traffic flow, reason being yes you guessed it another car accident.
Another thing people should know, you can come across the most moronic bananaheads in parking lots in Kuwait.
No courtesy, and no not even the "common" type.
My philosophy is that your driving shows what kinda person you are, up to an extent I guess. But it's not ones' fault for being a sucky driver if they suck at heart to begin with and haven't had anyone help that whatsoever although they beg for it "or" are too frikin lazy to attempt to be just another car safely driving, "or" just want to release their tension and put themselves out of misery and someone else into misery.
So what, if everyone on the roads of Kuwait drive like shits. That just means the good guys don't drive.
Even if they did you wouldn't notice them since they're doing their part in "safety first". Whilst the butts that do drive like oblivious retards influence people around them to drive as such.
Shheeesh I can't even scratch the surface on how STOOOPID driving is in Kuwait. That's if you call it driving , rather than diving for death for those that are dumb and drive like that.

One more thing I came across was something in the newspaper.
I KNEW IT!!! I REALLY DID! REALLLY. I'm sceptical. I just felt and presumed so!
There was this article, listing a number of only countries who have participated in order of statistics. This was concerning physical and verbal violence in schools. Say whaa? Kuwait was 2nd in physical violence and 4th in verbal violence.
SHAME. I freakin' knew it. Yes I did. But SHAME. To this level? I mean I knew the situation in Kuwait is ridiculous and pathetic, but to excel in comparison to other countries? Shame. =\
Physical violence (in order of ranking): Holland, Kuwait, Columbia, Korea, Israel, Romania, Serbia, Hong Kong, America, Portugal, Australia, Iran, Ireland, Russia, Canada.
- These studies were made based on regions since "Hong Kong" was included and not China.
Verbal viloence (in order of ranking): Australia, Denmark, KSA, Kuwait, New Zealand, Holland, Sweden, Israel, Columbia, Canada, Slovenia, Ireland, Bulgaria, Iran, Greece.
Violences such as sexual, physical, verbal assaults, and vandalism and stealing- whether from student-to-student or student-to-teacher, the newspaper didn't include this, but I would say even teacher-to-student in extreme cases.
I analyze it this way, lack of parenting, lack of respect, lack of morals, lack of a functioning brain, lack of many things really, but also having alot of things at the same of time. Having the wrong type of freedom, having been spoilt, having the ability to liquidate a punishment due.
This catagorey of people can fakjfdkajpoasj all they want, but they have their true punishment from Allah.

It appears that Kuwait has been toping the wrong charts, (I know Kuwait is best at other useful sectors , no doubt), but being the top most obese country in the world, then being saved by the States and dropping under it to 2nd recently... then there's the highest rate of accidents in these streets and blah blekh.
This all seems so depressing for the likes of my beautiful Kuwait, but it's only a minority that proclaims as a majority and in the process drag down what they want and attempt at lowering standards, but they can't , hopefully insh'Allah.
I used to think that Kuwait was the safest country that anyone could have come across- it still is to me; but you have to be in the right circles, right places.
I love Kuwait, and I know Kuwaitis do too, so with Allahs' will the degrading people drop in numbers being away from such a humble and beautiful place.
And... 'Update Journal'.
