Wow, i'm completely speechless from looking at the pics. Its hard to imagine sometimes as we look out our windows and complain about the rain or other trivial nimbyism in BC. Somewhere else in this world, under the same sun, shit is getting real. 
News reports are saying it is the Egyptian police that are joining forces with protesters to combat the Egyptian military. But looking at the latest pic that LiquidTurbo has posted showing the city before nightfall. I wouldn't be surprised if by sunrise, more Egyptians are on the same side.  | |

Interesting to see. Maybe the US should have just supported a 'revolution' in another country instead of sending in the troops to Iraq.
If I was Iran now, I'd be worried. Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, maybe Lebanon? People are just tired of the bullshit, I guess.

How long until the Pyramids are torched?
Really though, I THINK if it goes too down south it WILL happen.... Well not torched specifically since it's slabs of rock, but vandalism... destruction etc...

The Pyramids are part of their culture and heritage. The people aren't batshit insane, they just want a change of government

The Pyramids don't symbolize what they're protesting. They're a vital source of income in the form of tourist dollars.
I can't imagine them torching the Pyramids. Maybe in the alternate Fringe universe, but not ours.

The pyramids are also way way far away from where these events are happening in the cities.

So what would you do if your government cut off all your internet (including RS of course), and deactivated all your cell phones? Would you join the riots in the streets?

well arent the army and police still citizens of the country? im sure some of them hate the president just as much as the others, so might as well just protest with them, the president without the army and police on his side is gg for him

But this is canada where everyone is pussy. Posted via RS Mobile | I wouldn't say we are pussies, more like those issues are not serious enough to warrant serious mass protests like those in Egypt.
HST is nothing compared to the crippling inflation and 40% poverty + Dictatorship rule for 30 years. Quote:

We still get to elect officials (from a select pool mind you) and public opinion can make changes. In these countries being affected, any protest is quickly and brutually oppressed. Eventually this boils over and you get what you see in these countries, people tired of the constant oppression and the stagnation of leadership.
