A dillusional Jordanian with an urge to write like the Big Labouwsky, and be like Ali G.

Carrefour vs. Darfour
Thirteen Palestinians die in clashes according to a BBC news headline ...
I open the link, cussing those Israelis who are treating Palestinians like dirt. Then, to my surprise, the sweet article goes on to say that the clashes are between Fateh and Hamas. How low can you go??? When Hamas first got elected, my dad got the shills. He was excited... "At last, someone clean will run the show!" I thought Hamas might do better. But what did they prove? Another hungry-for-power mob who got their instructions from another country. You know what I hope for? That both Hamas and Fateh finish each other and Ralph Nader gets to be the President in Palestine! And like Ali G would say: "I got a dream of little white girls and little black girls playing together." So I go to this new place-to-be... Carrefour. The best thing about it is that it's close to the Hussein Medical City where you can get treatment for being a stupid Jordanian!!! For God's sake, it's only a mall! Why are people treating it like Utopia or even better, Las Vegas!? If you get to see the look on people's faces carrying stuff and leaving the mall, it's like they've just looted! What a great investment. Rock on Carrefour management... One look at the staff and you get to see the good old Jordanian depression (underpaid and overweight). Speaking of which, where is Darfour? And who is screwing whom? Are those Hutus back again? I read somewhere that Sudanese Arabs are killing the rest. Finally, they are doing something we can all be proud of!
Carrefour or Darfour, it doesn't matter. It's all the same. Remember Jordan that there is more to life than shopping and there is much more than the car you drive and the mobile you own.
This article is sponsored by Safeway. Now cheaper prices than ever and the only place where you can't wait to pay because there are no cashiers available! ;)
Thank you all those who invested in Jordan and please build a plant for a change instead of another mall.
Keep it real Jordan! Respek!
Ok, Miss blogerette,(if that is your real name!!) you attack the dude !! Stereotyping is more than typing a stereo it is about generalizing and seeing a pattern in a group pf people!!! I would like you to Google: Sarah Silverman and her great song "Jesus is magic" and it has nothing to do with Jesus and I quote " I love you more than bears love honey. / I love you more than Jews love money. / I love you more than Asians are good at math. / I love you even if it's not hip. / I love you more than black people don't tip. / I love you more than Puerto Ricans need baths.." Now that’s what I call real stereotyping.
Now go to your work, to your German boss (He must be mean, drunk and fat) and work for a change instead of attacking my dudeness.
(If this comment did not make you think I am crazy, I don’t know what will )

Now I am even angrier since I know what Rant means!!!! A rant is a widespread and distinctive phenomenon of emotional speech or writing usually consisting of complaints or attacks. Rarely, rants express great praise, defending an idea or a person from attack.
Street Definition: a form of speech, spoken word or written word, of an angry and political nature. A form of artistic political expression used by members of the lower classes to participate in discussion of the political issues of the day that affect them. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rant "
So you consider me lower class miss "I love Jordan , and you don’t"
Stupid freedom of speech!

Dude, chillax already.
First of all, I never said you don't "love Jordan." Second of all, I never said I consider you "lower class." And third of all, you are not crazy -- you just need to take it easy.

Now that's what I call a rant!
I tried to resist but I just have to contest a few of your points:
1- It is absurd to say that you get medical treatment at Hussein Medical City because you're a "stupid Jordanian." If you want to call someone stupid, speak for yourself.
2- Another sad generalization: "good old Jordanian depression." No comment here but I am drawing your attention to the kind of stereotypes you have but probably don't know about.
3- You encourage war and killing? "Finally, they are doing something we can all be proud of!," I am not proud of any sort of killing and I know for a fact that many people share my view. Don't say "all."
That's it I guess. Don't be hating!
