Pew is unreliable now?

First time I hear of such an organisation but if it publishes statistics like that then it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's unreliable.

Shoom, if you are in fact in Egypt shouldn't you be busy trolling in the streets with all the other pro-mubarak supporters or is it because you don't accept EFTPOS?

Mubarak sells oil for less money to Israel than he does to his own people. The guy should be incarcerated for life for that reason alone.

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

mate you're completely deluded if you think this isn't the muslim brotherhood seizing their opportunity

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

Im in Egypt, this is what im hearing from the streets from army soldiers and its now on TV. A facebook group is going to be created soon.

Unfortunately, pro-mubarak supporters are making petrol bombs, so the army ismost likely going to tell Mubarak he has to leave tomorrow.

Now I wonder what El Baradei is going to do, pull money out of his ass and give it to the people and create jobs for the really uneducated under qualified people. >_>

brah your IP address says you're lyin'

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

no point speculating, we all know there is going to be a power vacuum

the people want democracy, in any of its forms

why is everyone against the muslim brotherhood? Turkey manages just fine with a muslim party in power. Who says the muslim brotherhood wont do the same? Egypt is not Saudi/Iran.

Stop being dumb cunts

The protest hasn't been hijacked by anyone

Men, women, children, the aged, students...they're all protesting

Watch live broadcasting...or don't say anything stupid.

This revolution will make a great difference. Once Mubarak is out and they have a democratically elected president who focuses on Egypt and not US-rael, a president who likes liberty and does not lock up his people and intimidate them and oppress them with his puppet military, things will clean up

Go Egypt.

Use logic or don't say anything stupid.

It was sparked by rising food prices and Egypt's eventual famine. The suddenly, once western media caught on to it, it became all about democracy and freedom or some shit. Do you honestly think that a democratic government would suddenly solve their food problem? No, the interim government would spend time scrapping their inherently dictatorial constitution, holding elections, trying to figure out what the people want, passing legislation etc.

What they need is a wheat subsidy. Something Mubarak could have easily granted immediately if they had made known that this is what they wanted. Eat first, revolution later.

I think you've completely mis-interpreted what happened and why, as well as what could happen and how.

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

You know, there's more to food than wheat. The first sign of corruption was when Egypt started selling gas to Israel cheaper than it does to its own people as I mentioned earlier.

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

ahahah are you seriously suggesting that fucking artificially reduced wheat prices would solve Egypts problems?

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

Jesus fuck. I'm saying most of the North African protests were sparked from rising food prices, among other things. To suddenly slap a democracy sticker on the protest is fucking ridiculous

http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFLDE70D10320110114
"Three days ago, after riots in Algeria and Tunisia over high prices, unemployment and falling living standards, Jordan announced a $225 million package of cuts in the prices of some types of fuel and of staple products including sugar and rice..

Other Arab countries have taken similar steps. Libya abolished taxes and customs duties on food products and Morocco offered compensation to importers of soft milling wheat to keep supplies stable after a surge in grain prices.."

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

food prices were a trigger you nong

unemployment and poor living standards were brought on by years of poor governance and brutality from a dictator

everyone knows democratic countries have better living standards. they egyptians know this, they jelly of our democratic prosperity and want in on it

Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?

It's great that they want democracy and I completely support the protest in that respect. But it's not a magic solution, having elections now won't make their problems go away any time soon. It will take a long time before they fully transition into a democracy. They still will be fucking hungry. Get better living conditions now and get rid of him after
