Japan has decided to teach the world another lesson in survival, after the rise from WWII Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s inhuman attacks, they stood up, dusted themselves, worked really hard to come back as the world’s second biggest economy, but they didn’t stop there, they worked on their health also to stun the world with probably the healthiest people on earth (I don’t have any studies about that but it’s not so hard to figure it out), they have more than 40000 people over the age 100 years.
“TOKYO – The number of Japanese centenarians has doubled in the past six years to a record high of more than 40,000, with women dominating the list of those whose lives have spanned more than a century, the government said Friday.
Japan will have 40,399 people aged 100 or older this month, surpassing the previous record of 36,276 last year, the Health and Welfare Ministry said in an annual report marking a Sept. 21 national holiday honoring the elderly. More than 86 percent are women.
The number of centenarians in Japan has risen at an accelerating pace for nearly 50 years. The centenarian population surpassed 10,000 just 10 years ago, reached 30,000 in 2007 and grew another 10,000 in the past two years, the ministry said.
By 2050, Japan's centenarian population is expected to reach nearly 1 million, according to the U.N. projections.”
And why is that? The answer is below...
“Officials have stepped up programs that encourage older citizens to stay active and continue working. The government is gradually extending the retirement age to 65 from 60, and some advocate pushing it further to 70.
Japan has one of the world's longest life expectancies — 86 years for women and 79 years for men.”
Yes, the answer is work, we are fighting to lower the retirement age, because we don’t want to work, we want to sit there and die peacefully, they want to die in the field, working and producing, being useful, we want to import everything, we don’t want to invent we want to buy the ideas (and buy we I mean Arabs who live in the Arabic countries, ironically, those who live in other parts of the world are fine).
I’m not saying that we are stupid, not at all, we are not, we are just too scared to injure our brains if we think, because work is not part of our culture anymore, although in the past it was the center of our lives.

The best Arabic TV show ever made
Khawater is a TV show that compares between Japan and the Arab world, in terms of life style.
This programme shows on MBC1 at 15:15 GMT, and I can say without even thinking about it that this show is the best show ever shown on TV in Ramadan, and probably the best Arabic TV show ever made.
Why am I saying that? It’s because I stopped watching TV about 3 years ago (apart from sports and news) because simply I lost any hope that the Arabic media will one day make a show or a documentary that will prove to be useful, they don’t want to, they just want to be like Melody Hits or the other prostitution channels we have on our great NileSat.
This show is the best because the presenter shows the truth, no compromise, no “ass kissing”, he simply is answering the question that every Arab has asked themselves one day, why does all the world call us the 3ed world? Or maybe a more direct question, why are all the others better than us?
The answer is simple, just watch one episode of this show and you will know.

Haifa Wehbe shows her religious side
The following article was taken from MSNArabia, 
"Haifa Wehbe -4 months into marriage to Egyptian businessman Ahmed Abu-Hashisma- will spend this Ramadan with him in her country of residence and homeland Lebanon, where she’ll be joining her family.
The Lebanese sensation said she will be dedicated during the Islamic holy month to caring after her household, as well as serving the yummiest food and all -she says she is a skilled cook.
Wehbe shuns offers for concerts at the traditional Ramadan marquees.
Her earlier proclamations about her intention to go for a month-long worship seclusion, were responded to rather sarcastically in media, but she reaffirmed: “I’m a Muslim, I used to fast since i was just a little child, and no one should interfere between a worshipper and his God”."

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future

I think that is exactly what happened to us
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.

Many thanks for the Palestinians
These days, people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.

True…
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

Sevilla Player Fined for Showing Solidarity with Palestine
Josep Guardiola, the Barcelona coach, has joined the growing list of people to criticise the recent fine handed out to Sevilla forward Frederic Kanouté.
Kanouté was fined €3,000 for revealing an undershirt in support of Palestine after scoring against Deportivo La Coruna in the Copa del Rey. Among those who consider the fine to be unjust is the current Barcelona coach.
Speaking to Sport, Guardiola said, "The fine is absolutely excessive. If they always banned these type of things, then journalists would not be able to write columns."
Pep finished by saying, "Every war is absurd, and too many innocent people have died for us to be fining people for things like this." The positive thing is that someone, albeit Muslim, had the guts to show solidarity with Palestine in Europe!! Moreover, A Spanish guy “Guardiola” Criticized the Football Association for fining him!
I wonder if someone would be fined for supporting Israel!!?

Natalie The virgin Bunny Ranch Virginity Auction
Natalie Dylan the 22 year old gorgeous girl is selling her virginity on a site called bunnyranch.com. She started by saying that she is going to auction her virginity online and sleep with the highest bidder. But now, she says that being the highest bidder doesn’t mean that you are going to sleep with her, instead she’s going to choose the guy she likes the most among the bidders.
(In my opinion, this is a new type of prostitution, I mean people, she is asking for money in exchange for sex.)
Natalie said she’s been forced to sell herself because her stepfather took out a student loan in her name, so she’s unable to finance her education. She said:
“I don’t have a moral dilemma with it. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity? I understand some people may condemn me. But I think this is empowering. I’m using what I have to better myself.”
(Poor little baby)
In order to prove that she’s a virgin, Natalie took a lie-detector test, and believe it or not she is telling the truth. She’s still a virgin. One of the questions that really convinced me that she’s telling the truth was, have you ever tried to lose your virginity? The answer was no, and I really believe her cause she’s really hot if she actually tried, she would've succeeded, I mean look at her…

Natalie already has her bachelor’s in women’s studies from Sacramento State. In January she starts working on getting her master’s in marriage and family therapy.
(Watch out American families, a new marriage counsellor is on her way to help you create big happy families)
In the end, I just have one question, can morals get any lower???
