Comments on: NewThink Theater: Infecting Jordan with the virus of positive action [with VIDEO] http://www.360east.com/?p=1222 Ahmad Humeid on branding, design, architecture, media and technology, from a confused Arabia Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Anon http://www.360east.com/?p=1222#comment-679722 Anon Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:42:35 +0000 http://www.360east.com/?p=1222#comment-679722 Nuqul guys are one of the very few doing some real service back to their community, and most of the time it is not PR stunts, I salute them for that. Though one note is that many of their loyal and old timers are feeling injustice, as after their split and handing over the buisness to two guys, they kept the old timers salary the same and hired new cool guys for salaries more than the old staff. Imagine a 12-15 yrs exp getting as much as a 2-4 years chick whose most qualifications are her tattoo and nostril ring. All nice talk and initiative, but seriously, what is the use? What is the use of the hundred Irada,Ijaza,Reyada,Mawareed,tadeem,reyada, etc etc etc...... Show us the accomplishments and their impact on the local community. A nice competition or lucture by the center of enternpurership, fund,ejabi,energy,ICT is a waste of money It is just the old same game, a bunch of big fished controlling everything, never letting the small fish take any chance. Anyone talking on how to fix our regulations and streamlining everything? Of course not, because everyone got someone to pull them a string here and there. Just thinking about how much this little gather cost? Could have made some few kids happy instead. Jordan is not ready for real development and not interested too.

He invites accomplished activists then gives them lectures on how to be accomplished activists. Then takes lots of photos, then claims their successes are somehow related to his initiatives. People such as this guy don't create, they just takes credit. It's a new and annoying phenomena. In the past, government ministers took credit for things they had no control over and hand contributed nothing to. But now we have private citizens with lots of money playing this annoying game.
