  1. Cool Egypt. Id love to visit.
     
  2. Yeah, I'm seeing cases continue to pop up, and it's got me all excited. :smoke:
     
  3. honestly if a full scale world revolution happened, id grab my guns go up to my cabin and wait it the fuck out. Someone comes and tries to turn the the revolution into a riot ill blow their friggin brains out. I would honestly to goodnest be scared shitless if a revolution ever happened.
     
  4. I'm following this carefully
    BBC News - Bolivia activists stage mass coca-chewing protest
    Bolivia coca leaf campaign backed | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online

    Because it will undermine the US' total control (stranglehold?) on world drug policy.

     
  5. i look forward to the day Revolution happens :)
     
  6. Robert Gibbs on the issue


    I'm sure that the regime in the U.S. wouldn't use violence against protesters that didn't gain a permit for their universal rights of assembly :rolleyes:
     

  7. :hello:
     
  8. Egypt is filled with islamonazis
     
  9. I can only see true revolution happening by the use of an intelligent and very well coordinated plan by people with the best of intentions.

    If it turns into mass violence and protests then it wont be a successful one, but it will get the leaders to straighten their act a bit. A revolution will only be successful if the people on top are taken down from their position. Violence isnt going to be the ultimate solution.
     
  10. And guess who recieves the second most foreign aid from America.
     
  11. This is focally on the arab world nations. I wonder what it means. However alot of these are U.S. backed governments.

    I only hope that proletariat marxist regimes don't pop up
     
  12. Revolutions are barbaric. It's no longer the 18th century.
     

  13. What do you recommend instead? Still seems pretty effective to me.
     
  14. "With out order nothing exist, with out chaos nothing evolves"
     

  15. thats how you would know its working
     
  16. Revolution will never work, because it's just like any partisan issue in politics. In every country, there will always be reformists, and there will always be revolutionaries. If a revolution happens in these countries, you'll hear about it on the news, and then you'll forget about it the next day. Meanwhile, in these countries, there continues a power struggle, those who wish to reform through the revolution, and those who wish to restore it to pre-revolution times.

    I personally view this as no better than a tyranny. Tyranny of the majority is just as bad as tyranny by oligarchy. The only true, non-violent way to reform a country, is through a revolution of ideas.

    There are obvious exceptions to this rule, America namely. We weren't exactly fighting a faction inside our own country, rather, branching off from the motherland. I'm more talking about revolutions between already established partisan factions in sovereign nations. Iraq is a good example. To this day, the Baathists, Sunnis, and Shiites, are still battling for power. Let's imagine the US was no longer invading Iraq, and maybe ended a couple years ago. Say the Baathists started a 'revolution', and assumed control of the Iraqi State. They'd still face opposition from the other 2 factions.

    People think that Revolution is the thing that happens when you displace your corrupt leaders, and everyone absolutely agrees with you, and you have no opposition besides the corrupt bureaucrats you're trying to get rid of. The fact is, this is often not the case. People hear the 'R' word, and they get butterflies in their stomachs because Revolution was glorified by notable racists and mass-murders like Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, or they romanticize the American Revolution, which was a whole different type of Revolution than what most people propose. I also tend to notice that people who use Revolution as a way to execute their agenda (Communists, many revlefties), are pretty scary people, and that makes me extremely weary of the idea.
     
  17. Chaos is order. Order is entirely spontaneous, it cannot be achieved through force.
     
  18. I hope shit goes good in egypt.
     
  19. Order cannot be achieved through force?? hmm i beg to differ, also my quote of "With out order nothing exist, with out chaos nothing evolves" I was referring to democracy (order) with out it we would not be who we are today, with out revolution (chaos) we wont evolve as a free people
