  1. shit is going down in egypt , thousands protest and demand the authoritarian US backed presidant who has reigned for 20 years to step down

    it is very violent and the government is backing down

    this is part of a movement started in tunisia , unrest is widespread in many africian and arab countrys

  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. I really doubt we hate on you guys for freedom,treatment of women and blue jeans :)
     
  5. I'm being sarcastic :p
     

  6. hate me? bitch you dont even know me!

  7. Of course not man.
     
  8. 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 :smoke:
     

  9. your just saying that .......:rolleyes:

    your all the same...

  10. 60% unemployment rate

    and like 10-20% are illiterate in Eygpt.

    shit is fuckin' ridiculous
     
  11. 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.
     
  12. wait really?
     
  13. 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
     
  15. It's shit like this that makes me ashamed to be an American. We should be supporting this revolution 100 percent.
     
  16. Getting involved in this imo would be to costly. We have our own issues in America to worry about.
     
  17. 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.
     
  18. 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.
     
  19. 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.
     



  20. Sounds like what I think America might be like in 10 years or less. :smoke:
