16. Someone unrec'd this? |
|
Wow, apparently the video was a little to truthful for them.
Fuck 'em.
Power to the people!

40. When you examine who Pres Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton |
|
Really are -
For example, both were upset that a man who had swindled some twenty billion bucks of oil revenue away from the Russian government and was given a lengthy and well deserved prison sentence - you realize who our "leaders" are.
They are part of the kleptocracy, and certainly do not want the Egyptian kleptocracy to come down through a people's movement.

I'll try and find a photo somewhere, but she seems to be taking it very hard.

The emotion expressed by that man is so moving, to know that for so long he could not speak his mind in his own country but now that he finally can, you can see his determination to never be silent again. It is very emotional.
Thank you for posting it again, Turborama ~ that kind of passion changes history. We don't get to see it very often. It was probably seen during some of the other great revolutions that changed the world.

20. Thank you, Sabrina. We need to remember the strength of the emotions in this video while we wait |
|
for news about what's happening. I have to admit to getting very nervous after they yanked the plug on AJ English. Could they be gearing up for an Arabian Tiananmen Square to set an example?

24. What the fuck are you talking about? |

What "Reason why"?
What "hit-and-run crap is chickenshit"?.
Unrecomending just means it moves down a bit on the Greatest page. Do you feel a bit more powerful now?

Dude(ette). I'm supporting you, already! I'm saying if people register an Unrec they should be required to say why. To Unrec without explanation IS chickenshit. I recced your post.
Here, have a hit of my breakfast roll. You'll feel better. :smoke:

26. Sorry. The way it was written looked like you were stating why you were unreccing |
|
Edited on Sun Jan-30-11 07:18 AM by Turborama
And saying that I was some sort of chickenshit hit and runner. Which really confused me.
I'm really edgy at the mo, hardly any sleep over the past few days and now freaking out because the TV reports have had the plug pulled.
Oh, and I totally agree with your explanation. Thanks a lot for the rec and support, too. :pals:
Peace,

51. Why should people say why they unrec? |
|
Is that so that the entirety of DU can pile on to them for unreccing? Is that so you can call them names or demand their reasons? Why can't someone disagree anonymously?
I've seen DUer's pile on individuals for not towing the party line and it's usually damn ugly.

55. I have neither unreced nor reced this OP, but I understand why those who unrec do so "silently." |
|
People create fantasies in their minds and populate those fantasies with other people. When you post "unrec" you become a bad character in that fantasy and a made up script you have never seen before is suddenly applied to you.
This sometimes happens to me even when I clearly state the reasons for unrecing something.

I just flagged captain ignorant for spam. I haven't got time right now but I think they'll be getting seriously owned by other YouTubers.
Also, at least they're helping the view count go up...

I wonder if those views will be held to as passionately in the future if there is a new government.
I don't believe there will be a freedom of religion or freedom from religion from any government in the Middle East...at least not in the next 50 years.

goes to Egypt and everyone else who are suffering under an oppressive government. I think as Americans we take things for granted.
PS Next person who says people in Egypt should have elected better people to their offices is getting Tar and feathered. I wish people would understand that our system of government is unique. Plus it does not work everywhere in the world.(It doesn't even work here the USA)
