Facebook and Twitter are being used to plan and orchestrate the protest rallies, not simply to give the outside world a look at what is happening.
If the election was rigged, that means the entire government is corrupt. To cleanse the government, that by definition would take a revolution. In practice, it would also take a revolution effort.
It's much more complicated than simply replacing Ahmadinejad. From most accounts, he's just a pawn front.

yew jess cant dew tings lak dat
I don't think anyone in this thread that has been following it ever thought there would really be any revolution. But it's like that spurs locker room quote about trying to crack away at the rock, and even though it's the last chip that breaks it, it was also all the blows previous that helped it break...
tiest paraphrase ever, but you get what I'm referring to
Revolution is usually used in terms of changing the entire structure of the government, as in going from Communist to Democracy. In this case... they just want to put people in place that are more in tune with the ideals of the original revolution.
Maybe it's gotten to the point where that's no longer possible... but as of now that's what they have stated they want.
It's semantics though... I'm just saying there's an argument for it being a revolution-lite as opposed to a full blown revolution.
I liked the Serbian version better.
WOW timvp you sure showed me. Too bad you aren't posting in the spurstalk forum with thousands of timvpiites to post comforting replies of approval.
Damn bro. That's some healthy anger.
If you've followed along, I've already covered all your points aimed toward me. No need for a breakdown, simply RIF.
Ehhh, i don't get it. RIF? I'm just sayin...I already admitted it was the tiest paraphrase ever, you didn't have to rub it in, but i still think it's a good analogy.
Perhaps his post was more for clarification than for rubbing it in..
This is a comforting reply of approval for timvp.
a timvpiite
What makes you think so?
Why do you think green is the thematic color here?
Did people who wanted Bush impeached hate our system of government, or did they just want another leader?

Yes. One that you contribute to mightily yourself.
You are dumb, and you are a .
He earned it.
I stand corrected. I'm not a Twit (or whatever they call users of Twitter).
Damn. I just looked up. Evidently, WhineHole is obsessed with me now. Geez.
Don't flatter yourself.
You're the equivalent of verbal litter in this forum and it pissed me off.
I was also drunk.
Trying to reason with you is like teaching dialectic to a donkey. I should have picked up the quirt sooner.
Based on your posts, it's obvious that you, ExtraStout, and MarcusBryant are intelligent. Sometimes the fancy rhetoric helps your arguments, sometimes it doesn't. I don't pretend to know everything -- I don't. I just state my opinions. Do I need to preface everything I say with "I think"? If you think I'm wrong, just say why. There's no need for insults. We can agree to disagree. It's becoming obvious to me that many posters here are much younger than me. The prevailing tactic in today's universities is to band together and shout down those you disagree with, rather than challenge their ideas.
I've tried this. Repeatedly. You don't pay attention.
It's the only thing that really seems to work. Your response to reasoned discourse is stuffing your ears with chewing gum and subs uting what posters say with whatever you think of them for disagreeing. That's rude and insulting.There's no need for insults.
Nope. Your obdurate stupidity and your rather provocative obliviousness to others makes it nearly impossible for me.We can agree to disagree.
Swing and a miss. You and me are exactly the same age.It's becoming obvious to me that many posters here are much younger than me. The prevailing tactic in today's universities is to band together and shout down those you disagree with, rather than challenge their ideas.
I've tried addressing your ideas repeatedly, such as they are, but you're too submental -- or too much of a coward -- to respond in kind.
I'm sure you will counter with your own *opinion* but the record doesn't lie.
The problem isn't that your detractors are incapable of reason. It's that you continually exhaust their patience. You repay rhetorical bona fides with snideness, mulish inattention and dishonesty. Then you cry that people lack reason and civility when it pisses them off. You may be fooling yourself but I assure you, no one else is fooled.

As usual, Darrin focuses on the insults and ignores all the tough questions.
