A lesson in democracy

I am not a believer in democracy.

(hint: For those that are not from the mashy team I am the manager of mashy.com.)

A good member of the mashy team wanted to make a meeting today for us to discuss how we can improve mashy by taking input from the team. Also he wanted to discuss how to improve working conditions.

Well that meeting is a good idea, but it is too democratic for my taste. And the idea did not start from me, so the ruler ( me ) is not interested in this meeting. It does not fall under his plan, and it might open areas that the ruler ( me, remember the ruler is me, I am not talking about another ruler ) does not want opened. The ruler thus does what he can within reason to make this meeting fail.

Being the boss I can easily not come to work today.

That is a lesson in democracy.

When there is no democracy, THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY.

I am absent today.

Lets see if this meeting can create any important changes without me.

 :)

:)

No seriosly. I wanted to give this small lesson in democracy, but in reality I have a meeting in Haram that I can not cancel, it is an all day event and I apologise. We can make it some other time. I am even going there with my feet hurting and having to use a wlaking cane, but I have to go.

Other rulers destroy our plans for democracy in ways that are not at all as civilized as mine ( I had a meeting which is a perfect excuse ). These other rulers or their minions in my opinion lack the creativity and finesse to rule a people without giving them democracy while making them think they do have democracy ( Like Bush and the people that move him have done to the American people ).

If I do not return from the meeting know that this blog post cost me too much, send me halawa in prison if you know which prison that is :)

 

( And well you will ask you self many times "Does he really have a meeting or is this a civilised way of destroying democracy in mashy.com? A civilized way that other rulers should follow instead of torture and prison." )

:) he he he.

Linux Desktop with Beryl

Wow, if you come and see my desktop with beryl you will know that microsoft is totally crap. Windows Vista is obsolete before it ships. Beryl window manager is available for most linux distributions is absolutely a killer. My desktop is magic. I can not describe the happiness I have when I close or open an application window with fire and smoke effects or the ability to view your applications on multiple desktops aranged on a 3D cube for better ability to visually switch between applicaitons.

Trust

You ask about trust and I tell you it is a great pyramid that is built with truth instead of stones. If you do not have truth in your life you can not build trust.

Lies, half lies and trust

You ask me about trust and I ask you about the truth.

How is trust built? With the long persistance of truth. with the courage to face your sins or problems. Years of building up trust can be destroyed with one half lie about something insignificant. How can I trust you with someting big if I know that you can lie for something small.


You might say this is not a lie, but a lie is any effort to hide or bend the truth. You might say this is not important, but if I can not trust you with one unimportant pound how can I trust you with a thousand?

Everybody lies, everybody has at one time made bent the truth a bit. So tell me who can you trust?

Together we stand, Divided we Fall.

Who is we?

As long as there is a we there is a them. As long as there is an us and them mentality there will always be injustice and war. It is simple really but no one wants to accept it. If you have a we and there are others outside the "WE" then you treat the "WE" better than the "THEM". With that injustice results. With the build up of injustice voilence occurs, and when the us and them are countries then war is the result of the buildup of such injustice.

All humans are brothers, that is the WE.  It is poeple that do not want to understand it.

Lets look at the facts.

1-The lines in the maps that separate a country from another is not physical. God did not put these lines. These lines are imaginary.

2-The human DNA is the same regardless if you are muslim, chiristian or athiest. And the differences between races and colors is negligible, nearly less than 0.001%. So all humans are the same really.

Due to the above facts any one with intelligence will realize that all this talk about us and them is really artificial. There is no us and them, there is only a "WE" that encompases the whole human race. And as long as people treat others of different countries and religions differently then war and violence will occur.

War is very expensive in terms of not money but a more precious commodity, human blood. And it has become more and more risky, since with the advent of nuclear weapons and biological weapons, the possiblity of humans killing the entire human race is becoming great.

To stop this we need to think as WE. If WE are all one human race, countries will not need to spend thousands of billions of dollars in equipment of war. If just a small amount of this money is spent on feeding the poor and education, in one generation the human race will reach a renaisance that has never been parralled in history.

Humans of this planet must unite. They must stop thinking in terms of us and them. Humans should embrace diversity, accept one another, muslim should accept hundu and athiest as brothers and so must the christians and jews and all the human race.

Those that put belief or personal gain before such a goal are the ones that are resposible for the death of millions of children due to poverty and millions more in wars. So as long as people choose the WE rather than take the WE to be the truth in biology, the WE as defined by human DNA to include ALL HUMANS, these people are responsible for war and the death of millions of children in hunger. For even if you do not start a war, putting a line and saying this is US and this is THEM, gives those that want to start wars a very easy target. If there are no lines there will be no targets.

I know my words may contain parts that you do not like. Parts that conflict with your current belief system and that of others. For the Jews believe they are the chosen ones of God and are thus above the rest of us. The Muslims believe that they should get Jizya from non muslims in thier countries, and the christians believe that only they will go to heaven. This is only a small sample of the beliefs that create walls between humans.

I believe that God has put this as a test for humans. That the real test is looking beyound the texts that we believe in and look inside our hearts, and look at our DNA and realize that we will only stand and survive together as one human race.

Do you love me

Two friends met that had not seen each other in a very long time. The first said


I got married and after a few years I got sick, I was pale and weak. I looked like I had Aids. My wife that had loved me earlier started to neglect me. And as I got sicker she started to treat me bad. It was that sickess that God sent to me to show me that she did not love me so after this I left her. Thank God we had no children.

The second friend smiled and told him

Remember how I used to be fat? I also did not usually have money to buy nice clothes. I found a woman that loved me and we got married. I started to work in contracting and put a lot of effort. I lost weight, my body is now more muscular than I was young and now I can afford to dress well.

After this my wife started to treat me better, and we in the increased passion got children. The more successful I was the better she treated me. People say that she would light her fingers as candles for me. But it was not always like this. Now I realize that my wife does not truely love me is just like yours did not love you. For love should not decrease if you are sick and should not increase just because you now look better and are richer. Only you are luckier than me to have found that out earlier and easier.


المرأه

المرأه المؤمنه جميلة في حلالها عازفة عن حتي شبهات حرامها
 المرأه اﻷخري مريحة في حرامها متعبة في حلالها
دعاها الرجل أن ترضي شهوته في غضب الله فأطاعته     و و بعد ما تزوجت أمرها زوجها فخالفته
فهي أعطت في حرامها أكثربكثير مما أعطت في حلالها  إلامن تابت و قنطت و أعطت زوجها حقه و أكثر و أطاعته و عرفت أن حقه أن تطعه أكثر مما أطاعت عاشقيها في الحرام ومن يفهم يعرف أنها
  لن تستطيع ذالك  لكبر شأن طاعة مخلوق في معصية الخالق في الكبائر
ولذالك يجب علي العاصي العاصية التائبون أن يفهمو مطلع صورة النور كي لا يظلمو أحد في النكاح أي الزواج
 وما أخطر النفس الاتي أراحت في الحرام و إنتقصت حقوق الحلال من رجل أو إمرأه

Linux 3d desktop

I have installed FC6 on my desktop and WOW.

First of all if you want to get the things I am talking about and you are not experienced in linux us a distribution that is simpler to install like SUSE or Mandriva. Mandriva has an excellent boot CD that allows you to use linux without installing it to your hard drive.

Now back to the WOW factor of the new linux desktop.
What can I say it has better task switching than MacOSX expose. That is when you point your mouse to the top right corner of the screen all open winows will be zoomed out in a way that you can choose which application you want and then when you click on the zoomed window of the application Linux will swith to that applicaiton.

This is very useful if you open a lot of windows.

If you open a lot of windows you will love the 3D desktop. In Linux you get not one desktop like windows but 4. You can move an application window from one desktop to another in 3D.

It is really way more advanced than windows vista.

الديموقراطية

فليخبرني هؤلاء الذين هم على استعداد لتمزيق الدول العربية وجعل الاخ يقتل اخاه باسم الديمقراطية، اخبروني من أسيادكم؟

هل انتم كلاب الولايات المتحدة؟ ام انكم ذوي العقول السطحية الذين تنطلى عليهم اقدم خدعة في التاريخ وهي فرق تسد.

انظروا الى العراق، لم يتمكن كلاب الحرب من قتل مئات الالاف الا انهم نجحوا في جعل السني يخاف الشيعي مما يشعل حرباً ستنتهي بمقتل كليهما بينما يضحك كلاب الحرب من مقعد المتفرج.

استيقظوا

ليست الديموقراطية بالحل. وكما سمعتها من احدهم فهي ليست بعلبة سجائر سنستوردها من الولايات المتحدة الامريكية. فالديموقراطية هي مدى قدرة شعب على ان يحكم نفسه. ولذلك فمن المفترض ان يعرف الناس الطريق الصحيح. وكل ذلك على افتراض امكانية ان يحكم الشعب نفسه.

عندما امشي في الشارع اجد اناساً غير قادرين على القيادة في الاتجاه الصحيح من الطريق. يعتقدون ان قيادة السيارة في الاتجاه المعاكس نوع من الذكاء لانه يوفر بضعة امتار. واذا لم يكن بمقدور هؤلاء رؤية الخطورة الكامنة في فعل كهذا فهم بالتأكيد أعمى من ان يلاحظوا الخطر المحدق بهم. الخطر الذي يكمن في ان اعدائنا الذين هم اذكى منا يحاربوننا بعقولهم لا بأسلحتهم. وتتطلب حرب كهذه منا استخدام شئ لم نعتد استخدامه: عقولنا. 
دعوني اخبركم عن ديموقراطية البشر.

تتجلى حقيقة الديموقراطية في ابتداع البشر لقوانين مبنية على ما يريدونه اكثر مما هي مبنية على ما هو مفيد لهم. واذا لم يكن باستطاعتك فهم مدى خطورة ذلك فلتقف قليلا لتنظر اليها بطريقة مختلفة. اذا افترضنا ان كل الناس في الديموقراطية اطفال فسنجد ان الوجبات الثلاث مكونة من الشيكولاته واللبان والبسكويت. وليس من المنتظر ان يقوم احد بزراعة الخضروات وفي ظرف جيلين سينقرض الانسان نتيجة سوء التغذية.

وسيقول البعض ان هذا مثال سخيف الا انه ليس كذلك لانه يحدث.

فنجد ان العائلات المودرن او العصرية قليلا ما تقوم بطهي الطعام لكنها تأكل الوجبات السريعة. وتعتبر السمنة او زيادة الوزن من الاسباب الرئيسية للوفاة والسرطان في ازدياد نتيجة للاضافات الغير صحية والمشاكل الاخرى الناشئة عن الطلب الزائد على الاطعمة الغير صحية.

الا ان الامر لا يتوقف عند هذا الحد.

فقد قام الانسان العصري بتلويث الهواء الذي يتنفسه لكي يتمكن من قيادة السيارات والحصول على المزيد من الكهرباء وهو امر شبيه بالتبول في بئر المياه الذي تشرب منه الا ان احداً ممن يقرأون هذه المقالة قد سبق له الشرب من بئر مياه لذا فلا احد سيستوعب الامر.

ولذلك فإن هاجس السيايسة الحكوية المسماة بالديموقراطية هي سلاح الاغنياء لحكم في الفقراء.

وقد نجح اغنياء الولايات المتحدة في الوصول الى طريقة اساءة استخدام نظام الديموقراطية بشكل يجعله يخدم الكصالح قصيرة الامد للبعض. وهذا هو سبب رغبتهم في تصديرها الينا. وفي حالة اخذنا لهذه الشحنة المسرطنة من الديموقراطية فلديهم خبرة سنوات في استخدام ذلك النظام بشكل افضل من احسن العقول لدينا. وفي حال رفضنا لاخذ تلك الشحنة فسيستخدمون الفرقة بين من هم على استعداد لاضرام النار بارضنا باسم الحرب من اجل الديموقراطية من جانب وبين حكامنا من جانب آخر.

ولست بصدد التماس المعذرة لحكامنا ولا اعتقد انهم خير من الديموقراطية ولتقرأ الفقرة السابقة ثانيةً واستنتج ان الولايات المتحدة ستفوز في كلتا الحالتين. وبخبرتهم في التسويق والخداع وحملات الكذب المغلفة بشكل جيد يصبح بامكانهم حكم معظم انظمة الديموقراطية الغير ناضجة باستخدام النقود والاختراق.

واذا ما نجحت الانظمة الاسلامية في الصعود الى الحكم بدلاً من الملوك والرؤساء غير الديموقراطيين فسيحاربون كما حوربت العراق باسم الحرب على الارهاب.

الا ان السيناريو الذي يسعون اليه ليس بالديموقراطية بل هو الفوضى الكاملة وانعدام الامن والحرب الاهلية. واذا كانت العراق مؤشر لم يريدون التفكير منا فاليك افضل امالهم لمنطقتنا:

حرب بين السنة والشيعة والمسيحيين في لبنان. (على الرغم من فشلهم في الحرب السابقة فلن يتوقفوا عن المحاولة).

حروب بين الديمقراطييون الغير ناضجون والانظمة الحكومية القابعة في السعودية ومصر والسودان والجزائر.
حرب بن المسلمين والمسيحيين في مصر والسودان.

وقد اكون مخطئاً لكني لا اعتقد ذلك.

وفي هذه الحرب الجديدة قد يظهر العدو في بعض الاحيان على انه منهزم عسكرياً مقابل مكسب اكبر باعتبار زعزعة نسيج الوحدة الوطنية في كل بلد بالمنطقة للوصول الى الهدف النهائي.

لا تفكر في حروب السيوف والبنادق والاسلحة النووية.

فكر في جمهوريات الاتحاد السوفيتي الاشتراكية التي تفككت من الداخل.

الحرب الجديدة هي حرب عقول حيث الدعاية والاعلان هما السلاح الاساسي.

احلام بالديموقراطية، احلام بالدولة الاسلامية ينظر اليها الغرب على انها دولة ارهابية، احلام بان تحكم طائفة الاخرى، تلك هي القنبلة الذرية الجديدة.

Democracy

Tell me those that are willing to tear the Arab countries and make brother kill brother in the name of democracy, tell me who are your masters?
Are you lap dogs of the United States? Or are you just simple minds that are falling for the oldest trick of divide and conquer in history.
Look at Iraq, the Dogs of War could not kill hundreds of thousands but they could make Sunni fear shite and ignite a war that would make them both kill each other while the Dogs of War watch and laugh.

Wake up

Democracy is not the solution. As I heard someone say it is not a pack of cigarettes that you can import from the USA. Democracy is the ability of a people to govern themselves. This assumes that the people know that right path. This assumes that the people can govern themselves.
I walk in the streets of Egypt and see people that can not even drive in the correct direction of the street. People that see it is intelligent to drive a car against the correct flow of the street to save a few meters of driving. These people that can not see the danger of this are blind to the dangers they now are in.
The danger is that an enemy that is more intelligent than us is fighting us with their minds not their weapons.
This fight means that we need to use that which we are not accustomed to use, our minds.

Let me tell you about democracy of humans.
The very nature of democracy is that it makes laws based on what people want rather than what is good for them. If you do not understand the deep danger of this then stop and think of this in another way.
If all people in a democracy where children, every house would have three meals of chocolate, gum and biscuits. No one would grow green vegetables and in two generations all humans will die of malnutrition.

You will say this is a very silly example, but it is not, because it is happening.

Modern families now, cook less and eat more fast food. Obesity is now a major cause of death and cancer is on the rise in part due to unhealthy additives and other problems that are caused by the high demand on unhealthy food choices.

But it does not stop here.

Modern man has poisoned the air he breathes so that he can drive cars and have electricity, this is very much like pissing in the water well that you drink from but no body would know about this because no one reading this has really drank water from a water well.

This obsession with a political system of government called democracy is thus just a weapon of the rich to rule the poor.

The rich of the USA have come to learn how to abuse the system of democracy and make it serve the short term goals of the few. And this is why they want to export it to us. If we take this carcinogenic package of democracy they have the knowledge accumulated through years of how to use the system better than our best minds can. And if we do not take the package, they will use the division between those that are willing to ignite our land on fire in the name of fighting for democracy and our rulers.

I do not condone our rulers nor do I think them to be better than democracy, but read the above paragraph again. The USA wins either way. With their knowledge of marketing, deceit and well packaged campaign lies they can rule most immature democratic systems through money and infiltration. And if Islamic regimes rise instead of our current kings and non-democratic presidents they will fight them the way they fought Iraq, in the name of the fight against terrorism.

But the best scenario they are hoping for is not democracy but full out anarchy and chaos and civil war. And if Iraq is an indicator for those of us that want to think, then this is their best hopes for our region.
Sunni, shite and christian to fight in Lebanon. ( failed in the last war with Isreal but they will not stop trying )
Immature Democrats and the established government systems to fight in Saudi Arabic, Egypt, Sudan and Algeria.
Muslim and Christian to fight in Egypt and Sudan.

I may be wrong but I do not think so.

In this new war, the enemy sometimes looks like he is defeated in a military way, in return for a much larger win in terms of destabilizing the fabric of national unity of each country in the region to get to the final goal.

Think not wars of swords, guns and nuclear weapons.
Think USSR, United Soviet Socialist Union breaking from within.
The new war is a war of minds. Of patience and of self restraint. Where propaganda and media are the main weapons.

Dreams of democracy, dreams of an Islamic state that the west will say is a terrorist state, dreams of one sect governing the other, that is the new atomic bomb.

 

Killing your mother

Strange title but it is happening.
Everyday everyone of us is doing it. We are killing mother nature. The planet we live in, the planet that God made us protectors of is dying because of us.
All in the name of comfort, of industry and growth. There are studies today that show that all the fish in all the seas and oceans may die in 50 years due to the large amounts of poisons that industrialized nations are spilling in oceans, seas and rivers.
Thousands of species of animals are extinct because of human intervention and growth.

Some say that nature will adapt to the poisoning of the Earth. But can we take that risk?
Is this a risk that we are allowed to take.
Let the men of religion tell us, what is our duty if our men of science tell us that we are on the wrong track. That each plastic bag, each detergent or chemical we use, each disposable battery is a poison.
Tell us, men of God, what is more important. Fighting each other, or making sure that the Earth that God gave us a gift is kept.
I think that gifts like these only come once and destroying a gift of God is a sin worse than any I can think of.
