i wish i was there, honsy mubarak is fucking up egypt to the max. still disagree with the way those people let out their rage but i understand what they are going through. i'v been with cab drivers in egypt that have a phd ,some were civil engineers,arciticts and lawyers even, only fuck up they all studied in government schools.
Remember guys, when the CIA meddles in foreign affairs, and all of a sudden these countries 'blowback' and start hating us, it's not because of our actions in their country, it's because we have freedoms they don't, we treat women good, and we wear blue jeans. It is NOT because we are meddling in their affairs, assassinating democratically-elected leaders, installing pro-US dictators, etc., it's because, repeat, we wear blue jeans.
i feel for the egyptians and i think the US government should pressure Hosni Mubarak and Ahmed Nazif to step down from power and hold democratic elections in which he and the pm will not participate
your just saying that ....... your all the same... pretend to care..... then tear me down till i come crawling back to you begging for more abuse.....
what's worst is that i see so many hard working people that are ready to study and open their minds they just got unlucky it's bullshit.
This is not because of America. Egypt is so corrupt because of the large number of radical muslims. How is America being brought into that at all? lol
I read in a Yahoo artice last night..trying to find it EDIT: can't find it even though it almost had 1000 FB shares or whatever. 40% live on/or under $2 a day
It's shit like this that makes me ashamed to be an American. We should be supporting this revolution 100 percent.
I'm not saying we need to get directly involved but we at least should show our support. We are currently allies with the oppressive regime that the Egyptians are revolting against. It's disgraceful.
Anyone looking more into this over past few hours? Looks like egypt has cut off it's people from internet (they shut it off all but whats connected to the stock exchange) and reports of turning off water, electricity, and all mobile devices. Shit is hitting the fan as we speak.
I heard about the Internet cut off, fucking crazy shit. We are literally living through history right now and over half of the world doesn't even know it.
