Hope it catches on in China as well despite the government's efforts to censor stories on the Egyptian uprising there

Volvoman 02-14-2011 10:55 AM

Yeah, and they won't use tanks this time around...at least we hope not in this day and age

TheNewGirl 02-14-2011 10:57 AM

If anyone has a 'turn off the internet' button it's China :( They could use tanks and we wouldn't know till later.

Guys, I'm sorry to break it to you, but StylinRed is a dirty commie. I'm pretty shocked myself, but the evidence here is substantial:

Stylin = Stalin, as in Joseph Staling. The former leader of the communist party of the Soviet Union.

Red = The colour red. As in the colour of communism (soviet russia, communist china, etc.)

Democracy FTW! = He failed a guy for saying this. You know who else hates democracy? Fucking commies.


I rest my case.

StylinRed 02-14-2011 04:43 PM

lol i think that's like the 2nd or 3rd time ive ever thanked u :P

not really ,when china had that protest on june 4th 1989.

MG1 02-15-2011 12:07 PM

So when the Koreans and Chinese have those military parades, it's not there to show off to the rest of the world how powerful their armed forces are. It's to remind the people not to fuck with the authorities.............

What's happening country by country in the middle east (yes I know, CNN)

TheNewGirl 02-15-2011 12:51 PM

45% unemployment in Iraq?? OUCH.

CRS 02-15-2011 02:10 PM

Doubtful that anything would happen. Iran is a pretty secluded nation who really has not external pressures to "conform". If anything, the current Iranian Government will just crush the any kind of uprising. Its not like the world can do much about it since the world hasn't been in Iran's aid in any way.

maxx 02-15-2011 05:12 PM

lol.. there's no such thing as democracy.. ahahahaha

one party, one state, get your shit done, look at how china does it

after living in vietnam for almost 2 years, i could say that i prefer the government system over here. there are some things i don't agree with, but at least they don't bs and overspend on stupid shit.

refer to joe rogans american war machine on youtube, you guys don't even get to vote on any big decisions, just seats for people at parliament lol

I bet it's because they pocket the money instead of spending it.:fullofwin:

The Iranian people need to get control of their government so that their citizens arents sent on wars for profit and bomb afghan children or their dads.
