Revolt/Revolution in Egypt

[Fragony]

Now your kidding have you noticed any statements at all for an international audience from Israel at all, I certainly have heard none at least not yet.

They are worried eygpt is a big deal military wise in fact eygpt has historically been an engine for change in the Middle East if you dont think that chages Israeli calculations then you are really mistaken.

They wont be able to count on Eygpt turning a blind eye to Gaza politically.

Don't think anyone is going to move any personal anywhere but their own towns. They could always cow public outrage by pointing at Israel.

His Goatness in Iran will have to buy some more blue ropes as well, hope my favorite hotheads can do it this time the Iranians ought to be our natural allies against extremist filth.

Eyes on Libya now. Starting to look like a spring cleaning.

[Lemur]

And now Morocco. This "take control of your own life" meme is contagious.

Why do I get the feeling that some idiot is going to say now is the time to get rid of the queen?

hmm some idiot you say oh I dunno Charles isn't that bad.

[Beskar]

Get rid of the Monarchy after she dies. Make her sign a republican agreement to end the monarchy with her death. Good enough for me.

No point ousting her when she is approaching her dead bed.

[Greyblades]

Like I said; idiots, without the queen we loose all our tourism and thats allmost all our country's income!

Because that would be stupid. It was time to get rid of the Monarchy over 100 years ago, everybody knows that.

Do you honestly believe that "without the queen" you would lose all of your tourism? I had thought you British lot had more sense than that. Whose to say that they would take the Monarchy with them? Couldn't you have the Tower and the Palace without inhabitants? More like a Museum than some asinine support system for inbred wastes of space? I have an idea, take that 43 million and invest it all in upkeep

[Greyblades]

...I was joking, jackass.

[ICantSpellDawg]

Well then, you may be on to something.

[Greyblades]

What?

[Fragony]

Eh well, ah nevermind something with a square and a big shaving knife.

Please be civil, fellows.

Your ignoring that to a British person republicanism means theocratic autocracy and oppression. While Monarchy mean personal freedoms, rule of law, democracy, and all that warm fuzzy stuff that keeps dem prols in line.*

Ha!

I'm sure we will get round to stringing up some royals at some point

[Furunculus]

not while i'm around.

Literally or figuratively? Cause Chuck has been hoisted a-plenty.

I think that's an inspired suggestion!

I'm a Frenchman at heart, love that country (except the areas that aren't Paris what a dump)

I just love how the media is not talking about the Muslims Brotherhood or how the Egyptians just love to attack our reporters (Anderson Cooper and others, Laura Logan as of recent) and was just briefly covered, but lets show happy pictures of the protesters.


Go liberal media!!

[Lemur]

Yes, I noticed how nobody ever discussed the Muslim Brotherhood. (14,900 news listings in the last week)

And nobody mentioned Anerson Cooper's attack. (3,200 articles in the past week)

And who's thie Lara Logan you speak of? As a victim of the librul media, I never heard of her. (3,100 articles in the past week)

Now, I have to ask, did you think up this "liberal media" thing all by yourself? Is it home-grown? Did you think this one through? You wouldn't maybe be parroting something you heard on the radio, perhaps? 'Cause let me tell you, brother, if you thought up the "liberal media" meme all on your own, you are sitting on a goldmine.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

You a funny little liberal, aren't you, Lemur?

[Lemur]

I just flatly demonstrated that you were wrong, and tweaked your "liberal media" parroting for good measure, and all you can come back with is "you funny"? Really? Come on now, get in the game, don't let me knock you on your posterior quite so easily.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Or do me a favor and don't try to help the liberal media that much. They don't need anymore number tweaking.

[ICantSpellDawg]

I've given up the "liberal vs Conservative" media arguement. I notice no bias in media anymore because I chose a fluid media stream to listen to, read and watch. The way I consume news is like watching 1 endless channel with people of radically different opinions expressing them in a way unfiltered by network politics. Abandon television and abandon brands. go to the individual and multiple news aggregators. Never settle for less than 5 regular news sites. Is "ingorized" a word? because it should be

I no longer sit for hours watching MSNBC of FOX only to be infuriated by one sided arguements building strawmen and mutilating facts. I also don't watch CNN due to its filtered PC nature and how it has a tendency to harp on bubblegum, feelgood stories.

I don't recommend that anyone get their news primarily from cable. A sure recipe for stress and misinformation!

ELITECubKingWarman88, if you really intend to defend your parroting of the "liberal media" meme, why not start your own thread for that purpose? We can call it "Partisan Talking Points 4 Profit" or something, and we can all post our favorite political cliches. Maybe start a drinking game where we all take a sip for standard fare (liberal media, Faux News, etc.) and chug a full brewski when anybody pulls a Godwin.

I don't mean to derail this thread (although it looks to be derailed already) but how do you get your news? I'm on a quest to become more informed, Micheal Savage just isn't doin it for me anymore.

[Idaho]

Hilarious. Would you form a special militia of right-wing monarchist jews? It might be a goer.
