Since when is using facts, being apologetic?
Looks like that is next, I predict within the next few days. I would say for certain before September.
Since when is using facts, being apologetic?
I am making a long term prediction, and I already stated my reasons.
Stop asking me to recount my already stated reasons.
I'm not going to waste my time.
Oh . I just read who apparently complied that list.
CC has gone from apologist to shill.
How long have you lived in Lybia for?Do you really believe the population as a whole wants this?
I call it propaganda.
How many dictatorships have you lived under?
lol no freedom but "high HDI index!"
lol 'benevolent' dictator >>>>> freedom
You say that a lot when you can't actually say anything.
Chump, I'm not angry. Your obtuseness just gets tiresome.
So who wrote that list?
Well, if it's not true then refute it.
It's not like he was blowing the oil money on yachts, gold palaces, and ego skyscrapers like the kings and princes in Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
Who wrote the list, CC?
Health in Libya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basic health care is provided to all citizens. Health, training, rehabilitation, education, housing, family issues, and disability and old-age benefits are all regulated by “Decision No. 111” (dated December 9, 1999) of the General People’s Committee on the Promulgation of the By-Law Enforcement Law No. 20 of 1998 on the Social Care Fund. The health care system is not purely state-run but rather a mixed system of public and private care. In comparison to other states in the Middle East, the health status of the population is relatively good. Childhood immunization is almost universal. The clean water supply has increased, and sanitation has been improved. The country’s major hospitals are in Tripoli and Benghazi, and private health clinics and diagnostic centers, offering newer equipment and better service, compete with the public sector. However, if they can afford it, many Libyans nonetheless travel to either Tunisia or Europe if they need sophisticated medical treatment.[1]
The number of medical doctors and dentists reportedly increased sevenfold between 1970 and 1985, producing a ratio of one doctor per 673 citizens. In 1985 about one-third of the doctors in the Libya were native-born, with the remainder being primarily expatriate foreigners. The number of hospital beds tripled in this same time period. Among major health hazards endemic in the country in the 1970s were typhoid and paratyphoid, infectious hepa is, leishmaniasis, rabies, meningitis, schistosomiasis, venereal diseases, and the principal childhood ailments. Malaria has been eradicated, and significant progress has been made against trachoma and leprosy. In 1985 the infant mortality rate was 84 per 1,000; by 2004, the U.S. Agency for International Development estimated that the infant mortality rate had dropped to 25.7 per 1,000. Other estimates report an infant mortality rate of less than 20 per 1,000. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases are estimated at 7,000 and derive primarily from drug use. Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis has begun to emerge among the population of drug users.[1]
Who wrote the list, CC?

Literacy rate; youth total (% of people ages 15-24) in Libya
The Literacy rate; youth total (% of people ages 15-24) in Libya was reported at 99.80 in 2008, according to the World Bank. Youth literacy rate is the percentage of people ages 15-24 who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life.This page includes a historical data chart, news and forecats for Literacy rate; youth total (% of people ages 15-24) in Libya. Libya has one of the highest GDP's per capita in Africa. Its economy relies primarily on revenues from the oil sector, which contribute about 95% of export earnings, 25% of GDP, and 60% of public sector wages. Libya's economy is centrally planned, yet in recent years the government started market oriented reforms like reducing subsidies and privatizing many government own companies.
Makes sense that the people of Libya would revolt against the oil-funded utopia Ghadafi provided . . .
So who wrote the list, CC?
How was healthcare for those that didn't agree with this 'benevolent' dictator and spoke out about him?
Education in Libya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Primary education is both free and compulsory in Libya. Children between the ages of 6 and 15 attend primary school and then attend secondary school for three additional years (15- to 18-year-olds). According to figures reported for the year 2000, approximately 766,807 students attended primary school and had 97,334 teachers; approximately 717,000 students were enrolled in secondary, technical, and vocational schools; and about 287,172 students were enrolled in Libya’s universities.[1]
In 2001 public expenditures on education amounted to about 2.7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). Although no figures were found for government expenditures on education, Libyan television announced on September 1, 2004, that a new ministry for education had been formed, the General People’s Committee for Higher Education.[1]
In the early 1980s, estimates of total literacy were between 50 and 60 percent, or about 70 percent for men and 35 percent for women, but the gender gap has since narrowed, especially because of increased female school attendance. For 2001 the United Nations Development Programme’s Human Development Report estimates that the adult literacy rate climbed to about 80.8 percent, or 91.3 percent for males and 69.3 percent for females. According to 2004 U.S. government estimates, 82 percent of the total adult population (age 15 and older) is literate, or 92 percent of males and 72 percent of females.[1]
Seriously, CC. Why are you dodging the question?
Who wrote the list you pasted in your apologist post?
Probably one of barrys aids.
I think the Godwin-ing of this thread is implied.
Moussolini did make the trains run on time, as well.
You're regressing. Didn't think that was possible.
Libya is not an electoral democracy. Power theoretically lies with a system of people’s committees and the indirectly elected General People’s Congress, but in practice those structures are manipulated to ensure the continued dominance of Mu’ammar al-Qadhafi, who holds no official le. It is illegal for any political group to oppose the principles of the 1969 revolution, which are laid out in the Green Book, although market-based economic changes in recent years have diverged from the regime’s socialist ideals.
Political parties have been illegal for over 35 years, and the government strictly monitors political activity. Organizing or joining anything akin to a political party is punishable by long prison terms and even the death sentence. Many Libyan opposition movements and figures operate outside the country.
There is no independent press. The regime hardened its monopoly on media outlets in mid-2009 with the nationalization of Al-Ghad media group, which was established in 2007 by al-Qadhafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, and encompassed the country’s only quasi-independent newspapers and radio stations. The satellite television station Al-Libiya, a subsidiary of Al-Ghad and the country’s only private television outlet, had fallen under scrutiny after airing criticism of the Egyptian government. State-owned media largely operate as mouthpieces for the authorities, and journalists work in a climate of fear and self-censorship. Those who displease the regime face harassment or imprisonment on trumped-up charges. The government controls the country’s only internet service provider. The OpenNet Initiative found that dissident websites were censored and hacked sporadically in 2009, although less often than in previous years. The government established the first wireless service provider for public use in January. This may increase internet usage, which stood at only 4.7 percent in 2008 due to poor telecommunications infrastructure.

We wouldn't be able to be having this conversation in Lybia under Ghaday rule, tbh.
But they have great teeth
Why do liberals like you believe in the authoritarian approach of imposing our values on other sovereign nations?
"You will comply with our wishes, or we will fire 112 cruise missiles at you!"
