BBC: "It's over. This thirty years of torture is over. Enough!"
BBC World Have Your Say, from Egypt
'The Army has moved into the streets, will that deter you from protesting tomorrow'?
"On the contrary. This is the turning point. This is our time"

Long live the people of Egypt. Keep them safe.

1. When are we going to riot?
Who's next? Will it spread into Europe? Ireland, if they kill the Middle Class through austerity?

2. I thought Ireland was going to have a revolution last December,
but then it got very cold and snowy. The government did fall, though. I'm not sure if the upcoming elections will change the financial situation.

11. If it means taking back our country from the uncaring elite, then
I would withstand some rioting, yes.

5. "When are we going to riot?"
Oh you're being silly! We still have "Dancing with the Stars" & dollar stores. :crazy:


It does make you wonder how long the American public will take this bullshit. I know a lot of people are hurting, but still not enough to reach critical mass.

7. They are not rioting. They are demonstrating and marching. The cops are rioting.

If the cops were not in the streets trying to break up with clubs, tear gas and rubber bullets peaceful demonstrations there would be little or no violence.

10. maybe 2012 will be a pivot. I want to see an overthrow of tyranny everywhere
including here. Show the elites that their fucking money won't save them.
