Franchise is synonymous with unauthentic … disgenuine … unoriginal. Quality preservation and franchising are opposites.

In 2016, franchises are seen as viruses that attack communities. People are looking for original family-heritage based, entrepreneur owned authentic businesses, with people who care, and build relationships, and are organic to the community.

Having 8+ Tim Hortons and 4+ Starbuckses and more to come, in Dearborn and 0 community cafes is a testimony to the cultural and intellectual bankruptcy of this city.

No man should decide for the women what to wear and not to wear, not now, not 1500 years ago, not 3000 years ago, wether in France, in Vatican , or in Mecca, not a police man, nor a clergy man. She will decide for herself, independently as an individual, and collectively as legislation. When men don’t like it, they can poke their eyes out.

Leisure is essential to successful thinking. Hard working your leisure time away is counterproductive.

“Joy and delight “fuel increased cognitive flexibility” by unleashing dopamine and noradrenaline, which speed the movement of cerebral data and form links among diffuse bits of knowledge”

In the conscious of the vast majority of Arabs, all the borders that were drawn by Mark Sykes and Francois Picot in 1917 that are now the borders of the Arabic countries, do not equal a monkey’s fart.

All the brain washing didn’t work and it will never work. You can’t wash 1500 years of history in 50 years or 100 years. ISIS has proven that the Arabic youth still don’t see any meaning for these borders.

The last 100 years of the Arabic history is not respected by Arabic youth. They go before that to find their identity. Any Arabic political structure that does not respect that feeling of one identity and one destination will fail eventually.

The Palestinian issue is every Arab’s number one issue.

The Fall of Beirut in 1982 and the fall of Baghdad in 2003 are the worst two days in the Arabic modern conscious since 1967 Naksah.

Damascus is the capital of every Arabic person.

There is nothing organic that separates Arabs. It goes against every ounce of their nature and the nature of their region.

The West will continue to miscalculate due to the lack of understanding of this aspect.

It is the passivism that destroys us …. the non involvement … the “it’s not my problem” attitude … the disowning of our issues …. choosing convenience over responsibility only works short term and it is mostly delusional. It leads to eventually complete loss of quality of life. It is like the comfort of a prisoner or a slave …. It is microcomfort rather than macrocomfort. The less you fight for your rights, the more leisure and luxury you are providing to your slave masters, and the more your elongating your suffering.
