for bedoon for everrr

Hi Bedoon, I felt so sorry reading your story.. try to live in Canada and get a Canadian passport after 3 years of application then go back if you want to!
I know a guy who did that, his mom was Kuwaiti, his dad was not, he came as a tourist and stayed, with the help of lawyers he got a Canadian passport, studied at univ Canada is beautiful, multi-cultural, respects all cultures/religion, rich, little cold, but the best country in the world and oh yeah... the medecine is free!

As for Kuwait, I must admit that for people who were raised in Kuwait will find it an amazing country especially if they are Kuwaitis and have their benefits (inside Kuwait), but it is true, for someone who lived in a developped country and who also visited Kuwait will feel "sorry" for them, because their happiness/freedom is limited and they are not even aware of it (they think they have everything and that everybody wants to be Kuwaiti) and once outside of GCC they will be treated just like they treat indians in Kuwait starting from the airport check points. I like to visit Kuwait for vacations, it is exotic/different to me, but I can't live there.. I think I will feel bored after a month, even though I found Kuwaitis respectful toward me unlike other opinions I read here. I just wish Kuwait becomes more open (in a good way), more free, more democratic with respect to their traditions.. I wished women could vote long ago. A Kuwaiti man told me that they didn't allow women to vote because it is a trick: "cuz women are religious and this will make Kuwait very religious, since there are more women in Kuwait than men", but I find it soooo rediculous... because that man doesn't know what freedom is, what vote is... vote stands for the choice of the majority, and if the majority wants something they should get it, and if you stop the right to vote for 50-60% of the population only because you want to impose some rules by force, then there is something wrong with the idea of freedom!!! Do they know what being FREE for a woman is? I keep hearing: "they can work, drive, go to malls, have bank accounts etc..." hehehe well I hope so! "they even have maids".. I'd rather raise my kids with no maid with my husband, and clean my house with no maid "with my husband" but be free and do what I want.. At least I know that if my husband decides to leave me, he won't steal my kids from me, % of his salary will go toward the children and me, he will be part of their lives, I will have a roof, and as a divorced lady, I can easily get married any time I want to even if Im 40-50 just like he can, and no one will judge/reject me or consider me too old, a trash or a failure or a second class woman in the society Men need to be loved and taken care of, well.. Women need to be loved and taken care of too !!!
