CARPOOL

Now, working in Kuwait, I got used to the maniacal driving of the Kuwaitis, much like I did with the Qataris when I lived in Qatar. Now some people will say I am stereotyping, but this is actual truth and fact. THESE PEOPLE CANNOT DRIVE!!!!

Take my coworker, Daniel. He was going in early to work on Friday, and some jackass Kuwaiti rolled right through a stop sign at an intersection where Daniel had right of way. It is an overpass that frequently has accidents due to the stupidity of the Kuwaitis(they, along with 300 million Muslims in the Middle East, have been brainwashed to believe that accidents are fate, and God's will. Never mind driving responsibly, and TAKING RESPONSIBLITY for your actions). Daniel was lucky enough to be able to swerve and lessen the impact of the wreck. The car is totalled, but he is fine. The jackass in the other vehicle had some bruises and cuts, and a bloody nose, since he wasn't t-boned due to Daniel's quick thinking. First thing Daniel said, was "STOP SIGN!! LOOK!!!" and pointed at the stop sign the idiot rolled through. After the ambulance came and treated the other guy, they went to file a report at the police station. Now, in the civilized world (Europe, North America) the person who rolled the stop sign would be faulted and liable for compensation. But because we are in Kuwait, and the other person was Kuwaiti, the police farce here decided they were BOTH at fault. That is, it is Daniel's fault because he was on the road at that time, or as the locals love to say "Insha allah" God's will. You gotta love the stupidity. So basically in the Arab world if someone crashes into you and you are not a native of the country you are in, it is your fault for being on the road. No wonder these people are so easy to recruit to become suicide bombers, they have almost no free will or ability to think as individuals.
