Two million Egyptians express love for new Democratic Freedoms...

[Yonivore]

This is such a blatantly organized viral effort that anyone with a shred of intellectual curiosity can't help but be skeptical. Where is the source for the 2 million number, and why is that the number everyone seems to agree on? How do you know that's what the chants translate to? How can you even understand the chants?

You're scared of a bunch of Arabs, and this is a coordinated effort to play on the fears of racists and idiots.

Then, you have nothing to worry about; move along.

Mother er, I will be on you every time you post a thread like this. If you don't like it, go be a disciple elsewhere.

If you think Egypt is becoming a Democracy, you're being naive. The only reason Iraq has a chance is because the United States Military pacified the ing place. And, now, they're working on Afghanistan.

We may have run out of time.

I seriously believe this will end with some exchange of some bad-ass weaponry; we cannot afford to deploy on another front.

I am not naive.

I am also not limited by some rather severe ideological blinders either.

You have seen what you want to see there. I will be saving this particular comment.

Further, I will say it rather clearly:

Egypt is heading towards more democracy, and a less corruption than Iraq.

They will acheive more in the next 2 years, than Iraq will have, since 2003. That may be something of an exaggeration, but I don't see it devolving into a theocracy, ala Iran.

The results of that Democracy is that they will not be as friendly with Israel, because that is the will of their people.

If you can't accept that is the result of democracy, then you are directly implying that democracy isn't a good outcome.

Do you hate democracy? or just democracy when it disagrees with you?

Honestly, your entire take on this is something that I find to be outright fascistic, and I don't use this word lightly.

To be fair, there are a good number of "pro-Palestinian" comments supporting the idea that 2m people were all chanting this . They called it a beautiful display. Yusuf al-Qaradawi supposedly led these people in prayers that day...

There were other chants regarding Jerusalem... and the sound of them was, quoting a very happy friend of mine, "soooooooooooooo powerful"

Pretty sick , can anyone translate to see what they're actually saying? o.O By the way, 2m out of 84m isn't too bad, but it's basically like a big Tea Party rally tbh.

[fraga]

Just imagine if you sprinkled in a bunch of black people with them Arabs...oh dear...Darrin and Yoni would be tin bricks...

[Spurminator]

2 million people chanting the same phrase would be indecipherable.

Can we at least agree that if Fox News doesn't even pick this story up, it has no validity?

[CosmicCowboy]

Looks like a skillet shot to me...needs a rolling thunder air strike.

Democracy is not a good outcome in Egypt for the United States. I don't hate democracy in general, but democracy that doesn't serve the interest of the American people is useless in my opinion.

I would rather have a brutal crushing dictator in place that is friendly with the US than a utopian democracy that was our enemy.

If you don't feel the same way you are a sheltered idiot.

If you believe this, why should anyone believe you would not oppose American democracy if it didn't suit your personal interests?

[Spurminator]

Uh, I don't care.

Good, then status quo it is.

Anxiously awaiting your next chain email-inspired thread.

I do oppose American democracy when It doesn't suit my personal interests...

I have a vote and use it.

[Spurminator]

That IS democracy.

Would you support a dictatorship in the U.S. if the dictator's policies aligned with your ideology?

[CosmicCowboy]

True democracies are doomed to fail badly.

[Sec24Row7]

(facepalm) That IS democracy.


Would you support a dictatorship in the U.S. if the dictator's policies aligned with your ideology?

No that's democracy... and how do you think you are supposed to change it BACK to your ideology in all but the most extreme cir stances?

I would be happy to live in a dictatorship that supported my ideology... it wouldn't be here though.

I personally think that the best government in the world is a monarchy with a benevolent monarch.

That being said those monarchies are short term and unstable because the good of the government is only as good as the sitting monarch.

Looooooooooooooooool

I'm laughing harder at you for being too stupid to get what I said than you are at me for your (incorrect) assumption that what I said technically doesn't make sense.

And others are the sheltered idiots? Nice.

Oh yeah? Well I'm laughing even harder! Take that!

I think you should go to Tahrir square and see if you a brick.


By the way, Egyptians are not Arabs, they are Egyptians.

I oppose democracy so I vote is one of a qoute.
