Hello everyone
Tonight on the way back home from grandma's house my dad talked about something that caught my attention.He and my mom was back from some new family friends that we met back when we were in Denver,Colorado.And tonight they saw a man who was also with us in Denver.The man talked to my dad and told him that it was his first time to go to the United States and before he went there,his friends told him that the Americans' treatment to each other is better than the Arabs' treatment to each other.He didnt believe that until he actually went to Denver and experienced that,and it was true.
There are alot of differences between the Americans and us,the Arabs.But im gonna try to cover everything up in this one blog post.If not there will be several because this is the kind of topic i was trying to clear to my family since 2007.And they finally got that this summer.And there will be other posts because i think it will never end there always will be differences between the 2 Nations.
In a general way to compare the Americans' to the Arabs',The Americans' are better than the Arabs'.And the percentage of that would be 80% if im not wrong;This percentage is not official and its completely from my experience and knowledge.
If you went to the United States of America,You would've known how better their treatment to us is.Even though some people say that the Americans are mean to the Arabs' specially Muslims,They're TOTALLY WRONG!.Every time you pass by an American they always say Hi to you and always greet you.And from my experience in CO,everyone is everyone's friend!.And when you walk in the mall,you find out that no one's staring at you like the way here in the middle east or at least Kuwait.Here in Kuwait City when you walk in the malls or even in the Super Market you find out that EVERYONE's staring at you without a reason!.Just curiosity.Especially at the malls!.Everyone stare at you from the top of your head till the bottom of your feet.And when you do something that's totally doesn't require attention,you get the attention if you wanted it or not.Example: Back in Denver, i went to the mall with my mom and i was so tired from shopping and i sat down on the floor until my mom finishes shopping at that certain store.And everyone was passing by me without even caring.It was so amazing that i realized how DOWN TO EARTH the American people are.If i did the same thing in Kuwait,Everyone would stare at me like if i were a movie or some kind of play.It would be so awful that it hit me in my mind that the Kuwaiti people are so arrogant;No offence to anyone but to be clear some people are!.Our social level dropped down!.Its dropping down real fast that the foreign people living in Kuwait(Americans,English...ect) are learning the wrong morals from us the Kuwaitis.
In Kuwait if you tried to just say hi or to greet someone you don't even know they will immediately thinking: what a freak,what does they want,who are they?.It will make you feel guilty.Like you did something wrong but you don't even know what you did to them.
That's what i have right now but stay tuned because its not over,yet!.
This is just the beginning.
P.S:( THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGIONS,THIS IS ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT RELIGIONS.ITS THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AND CLEAR THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RELIGIONS)

Hi X. Nora,
My name is Ali, and I from State of Kuwait (the one side about your post :>).
Am agree with 99%, except this paragraph, quote "In Kuwait if you tried to just say hi or to greet someone you don't even know they will immediately thinking: what a freak,what does they want,who are they?.It will make you feel guilty.Like you did something wrong but you don't even know what you did to them."
Am not with you, and in your way, we're in same situation here with American's people; also here, no one will refuse your "peace greeting" or even feel like I'm freak or something.
But, Am sure they will think in bad way !!. and keep till them selfes (I don't know this person, it might be want something from me, thats why say the greetings !!.
:)
Note: Am comment in this post before reading your last one, in same subject :>
Peace X. Nora
