  • A comment on Talk: Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies

    Dec 7 2011: http://news.yahoo.com/feds-couple-claimed-welfare-lived-1-2m-home-175925304.html
    many people take money from government without deserving, i would say there are generations live on federal welfare. i know some people are dieing to have simple job in welfare system, they get call for an interview every 6 months since 2008 to get the same talk which is " we will call you to update your application". i am wondering why all of this studies if you don't apply or reform what is wrong. "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" any one believe?

    Dec 4 2011: i don't understand much about economic systems but from my experiences in TN and NV I believe the states was and still in need to more than this global crisis. one of the reasons which is still exist is immegration and open the states border for Mexicans without legal papers who took many jobs from american and legal people who came and started from begining and learnt English. i prayed many time to God to apply his justice as a reaction to what happened to me. without this global crisis no one form the states nor from any other rich country would make these studies to get these results. american society need to have balance between capitalism or any other economy system and some moral values and the real meaning of justice.
  • A comment on Conversation: How TEDtalk translations have impacted you? Do you watch them with subtitles -- share your stories!

    Oct 11 2011: What make me proud of my translations is that I did all of them without neither a job nor PC; but without millions of people read them and try to open their mind to these ideas I feel I did nothing.

    A comment on Conversation: How TEDtalk translations have impacted you? Do you watch them with subtitles -- share your stories!

    Oct 2 2011: I have been translating for Ted since July 2009; when I started I did not expect that I shall do all of this number of talks which is consider humble comparing with many others. Indeed right what they say "the more you know the more you want to know". But I think number of readers in all languages especially Arabic doesn't fit with the efforts made by translators in their search for information over the net to bring the right and easy meaning to the reader. I wish I can be with them in their meetings in CA or other places around the world.
  • A comment on Conversation: What is the one thing that you wish you could do but are too afraid?

    Jul 8 2011: i have fear of failure, but not sure what the reason is. most of time i trust god in his way leading my life, and i fear to do any thing anger him.

    Jun 15 2011: I believe teaching and examples in the bible aren't hoax. All failure happens to us in life if doesn't lead us to actually get closer to God in any religion, then we should commit suicide." what doesn't kill me makes me stronger " don't know who said this slogan but it's true in all measures. Trying in life more and more gives us the hope which take our hand to whatever we need to be or have. Hope you enjoy this song and read his page on the net to see how he was killed.

  • A comment on Conversation: What was the most amazing social experience you had and why?

    Feb 15 2011: American people i met in Nashville and vegas' bars have completely different social habits especially with people who come from countries like Egypt, i still do not know what interest them and particularly women. i think they evaluate people by their citizenship or just knowing where they come from which one of the most questions they ask. i believe many of them attracted to whoever know how to scoff at them.
