There are somethings that are created just for the sake of wasting your time and of course the root of all evil ...money, it funny thinking about the two, seeing how they both tend to cross paths in many situations, money is made in time and time is expensive...which one trumphs the other? that could be a question in line with why are we here?
1. this was the first time being exposed to the world of twitter and it was as useless as tits on a boar, i had one hundred forty characters to type my thoughts, perfect for the mindless twits that idolize Paris Hilton and love the fucking show "The Hills"... I would need a bottle of codeine pills just to sit through twenty minutes of that crap. So of course the type of time is entropic, its perfect for telling people that you think Johnny is cute and how much of his peter rabbit you can fit in your mouth (penis, for all you kids out there), i tried my best to type something relivent and I could see that the rest of the class did the same, (I hope no one is offend by my statements, I'm not saying that all people that use twitter is a moron, I just feel that this site is just a way to exploit the stupid and I feel safer if stupid people don't know each other, take the Bush administration for example,..... see stupid people do bad things when they get together. *bad stupid people bad, get back in your corners and don't come out or I'll burn your neck with a cigarette*.. and if you are offended, boo hoo... i dont care). I will say I wasn't affected at all by what my peers was writing due to the fact most posting was about what they just did or at the moment going to do, so I learned of random details of you guys like who likes apples and who goes to bed at eleven, but nothing of substance like a favorite book or color, so we just became hollow shells that smile at each other.
2. Upon reading the tales of 1001 nights, i can see a pattern of teleological time but I become torn to the thought that all three types come into play. When reading the fisherman and the Jinni (yes, I am another person who will use this story to make my point) the story plays out with the cause and effect scenerio when the Jinni get tricked back into the bottle by the fisherman, the Jinni pleds with the fisherman to release him. the fisherman refuses and mention that this situation is similar as the story as the "Wazir of King Yanan with the sage Duban" it was because of this story they both came to a different understanding ...the story being the cause and the release of the Jinni and the fish for the fisherman is the effect. some may agree that this is stellar time, when it isnt at all, due to the fact the two events happened at different times stellar time is like cogs in a clock they must entwine in order for them to work.
3. it would depend on where in the world and the beliefs of the Arabic community on whether or not if this piece of work would be accepted. before the taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 1994, even while Russia occupied the region there was freedom of learning and expression. women was also looked at differently at that time as well. Where now with the strict rules from the taliban these reading would never be accepted. the taliban desnt allow music, reading, (unless it passes on a message that the taliban finds acceptable) kite flying, dancing, pictures, decorated walls in houses, or means for celebration (like cheering at a football/soccor game) let alone women lost all rights all together. but the arabic culture here in America can be different, they can be more opened minded and be acceptable to ideas or thoughts even if they don't agree with them.
