Which Middle East country held spontaneous candlelight vigils for victims of the World Trade Center Attack on 9/11?
- Kuwait - No.
- Saudi Arabia - No.
- Israel - No.
- Iran - Yes.
Following the terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania, many people in Iran showed their support for the victims with vigils, prayers and letters.
The victims of these terrorist attacks were citizens of many countries. Iranian and Iranian Americans were among the victims and survivors.
Either this is a magnificent troll or the truth of it is hilarious. I need the source and cites.
p.s. fuck israel
People will win a hundred million dollars or more in the lottery. Outraged fans of television shows will take it upon themselves to raise ridiculous sums of cash to save their favorite program. A little white girl goes missing and suddenly there's more than a million dollars available as a reward for information which would lead to her safe return or give her parents peace of mind even though her parents allegedly killed her.
Charities make vast amounts of cash yet the cause is lucky to see ten percent of that money because the lion's share of that money is spent on salaries and other nonsense. It's a noble idea but the implementation is really out of whack. Money is being dumped into supremely idiotic programs like the $100 laptop. Instead of making a computer for third world kids why not use that money from development to ensure reliable drinking water, a robust sewage system and schools. Once such a foundation has been laid then worry about such luxuries like computers and internet access.
Where does all this money come from if people say they're broke? Sure those folks are using a lack of funds as an excuse not to give despite the fact that the government will usually match their donation and that money will be seen again on their tax return. Of course there are people who simply don't have the cash. Company CEOs will have plush severance packages which ensure a comfortable standard of living during their retirement or while they're looking for new work.
There has to be a redistribution of wealth without creating a culture of entitlement or bolstering the currently established culture of entitlement which will collapse before I reach retirement age.
Ugh, now I'm being all socialist (bad) and communist (not so bad) and that's not my intent because there is a happy medium. Unfortunately I am not intelligent enough to rub two brain cells together and propose a solution. Since I lack a decent education I am subhuman among my peers and I am perceived as a whiner because I can only compla^H^H^H^H^H^H discuss the symptoms rather than provide a cure.
Also I'm dreading my return to work for one single reason. Being asked about my vacation by Sourpuss and to a lesser extent the Wrestling Manager. Sourpuss always makes it seem like an invasion of my privacy as if I have to fucking account for all my god damned time that I spent away from work.
This is at the same time as the El Paso Bar Association's monthly Call-A-Lawyer program. It's on the third Thursday of the month between the hours of seven and nine p.m..
Now I can rationalize going to something interesting like the porn debate because most likely it won't happen again at such a venue while the Call-A-Lawyer program is an ongoing event. Yet my impatience says to do both or skip the porn debate no matter how interesting it may be.
When Thursday comes around I'll have an idea of what I'm going to do. There's no purpose in fussing over such nonsense ahead of time unless I want headaches and ulcers.
The storyline being covered in the dream was one of the primary characters discovering their first life in Tibet and how their village was covered by an avalanche which lead to death by suffocation.
Of course I kept waking myself up by sneezing much to my chagrin. Still I dreamt a legitimate dream.
