So the first deployment phase for the new plates had started. This phase's plates are starting ص أ X or س أ x, with the variation of the numbers after that. I have seen cars in Cairo, Mohandessen and even Shoubra (2 cars). All new plates have these variation. I once found 3 cars next to one another with same alpha combination with a different numeric. This I find amuzing! The second thing is I am now tracing how the translation of the letters from Arabic to english will work. A perfectionist, and detail oriented in trivial stuff I am, I am laughing in sarcasm over the faults they did because of the translation. 'Why did they translate?' I tell my brother. 'How will they account for خ for instance.. and becuase of this translation, the probabilites for plates variation will decrease.' As a big picture guy, he responded 'They have zillion of combinations. Does not matter.' But again, I am now keeping an account how will they use all the letters in translation....

What book are you reading? I'm kinda out of ideas at the moment...:)
The book is Germs, guns and steel. Interesting book. Have some cool pictures, talking about the history of the formation of the world. Sociological, political, economic. He is doing it in a nice way.
CHeck it out.
The only archetype that seems somehow real to me is the blood - looks the same, no matter the color, race, and other minor details. On the inside we're all the same anyway...
I really have nothing against mixing everyone with everyone! Maybe when there's nothing left of the old arhetypes you mention will finally be just human beings, no race discrimination involved.
I would also be quite happy if there was only one religion - no belief discrimination either.
All there's left is gender and economic discrimination, but I really have to think more before finding a sollution for that!:)
Thank you for the book details!
'I would also be quite happy if there was only one religion' Who told you there is more than one religion. Well, depends how you define 'religion'.
I am not anthropology major, but I just like to sink to the origins of things. As much as I can. I believe so much in US. Human. Love the beauty they hold inside, and also outside.
When I say I would like the Earht to have only one religion, I actully want this divisions to suddenly disappear.
I don't ever think that all religions will suddenly disappear! Not in our time. It is a facade for many different 'fixations', personal and global. But what would the world be like if there was no religion seggregation?
why not write a post on that, Kayla? You sounded too passionate about that.
So, define religion?
What is religion? Too tough a question for me, but I'll put something together and try to get back to you!
It is a tough question for everyone, and it sure does need some seious thinking from everyone.
Will be happy to know how you see religion.
(Haal, I didn't mean anything bad by the 'coming from u'. Just unexpected that's all).
