| 12:05:37 | MoEnzyme | hmmmm, looks like protests are multiplying in the mideast. Yemen --> http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-02/19/c_13739101.htm and Libya --> http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-18/libyans-demonstrate-against-qaddafi-for-third-day-as-tensions-deaths-rise.html and Bahrain--> http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/18/us-bahrain-usa-idUSTRE71H5L420110218 |
| 12:07:06 | Sat | ya that whole place is frikkin going krump crazy. |
| 12:07:18 | Sat | I wonder how far it'll spread? |
| 12:07:54 | Sat | protests could start breaking out all over, especially it the food situation worsens. |
| 12:08:05 | MoEnzyme | The Yemen protests have not been so non-violent as the Egyptian ones were :( |
| 12:08:27 | MoEnzyme | They were setting buildings on fire there. |
| 12:08:50 | Sat | well to each protestor thier own. |
| 12:08:58 | Sat | Maybe they are more pissed in Yemen. |
| 12:09:07 | MoEnzyme | Also in Libya. |
| 12:09:13 | Sat | does that rhyme with semen? |
| 12:09:28 | Sat | Pretty much in all the arab gulf states, actually |
| 12:09:46 | Sat | I saw a map and was like whoa. all of em! |
| 12:09:58 | Sat | next greece? |
| 12:10:01 | Sat | Turkey? |
| 12:10:05 | Sat | Italy? |
| 12:10:08 | MoEnzyme | Well Libya is northwest Africa, but they are still Arab. |
| 12:10:17 | MoEnzyme | Turkey has a real democracy already. |
| 12:10:35 | Sat | Greece has had a lot of riots due to austerity, et all. |
| 12:10:40 | Sat | recently |
| 12:10:58 | MoEnzyme | true, but they aren't wanting a revolution, they're just pissed at their current politicians. |
| 12:11:36 | MoEnzyme | I think these Arab crowds are wanting a revolution on the other hand. |
| 12:11:42 | Sat | That could change. As more govermnents fall more people will feel empowered |
| 12:11:58 | Sat | ya revolution is in the air |
| 12:12:05 | Sat | non here, yet. |
| 12:12:23 | Sat | But if times did actually get tough... frikkin riotville. |
| 12:12:43 | Sat | imagine all the cities as people ran amok. |
| 12:12:46 | Sat | lol |
| 12:12:58 | MoEnzyme | I'm still somewhat optimistic for Egypt at least. They really help pretty closely to the non-violence, so perhaps at least the populace has the discipline to follow through and insist on real democracy. |
| 12:13:27 | MoEnzyme | They really held pretty closely to the non-violence --- typo |
| 12:13:27 | Sat | perhaps. You can bet the military there is getting the full treatment from our people. |
| 12:13:49 | Sat | Being instructed in what thier best path is so to speak. |
| 12:14:38 | Sat | I think our government's big fears revolve around loosing control of Egypt |
| 12:14:48 | MoEnzyme | yeah, the uncertain part of the equation in Eqypt is the military. But non-violence is more effective against native military targets than violence/terrorism |
| 12:14:58 | Sat | and destabilization of the relion which results in oil shortages |
| 12:15:04 | Sat | and FUCKS our economy... |
| 12:15:10 | Sat | resulting in roits here. |
| 12:15:54 | Sat | The American public, knows we've been sodomized by those in power, but we're well fed and content. |
| 12:16:07 | MoEnzyme | Well, we are going to lose control in Egypt no matter what happens, so given that, some sort of democracy would be better than military rule, or an Islamic caliphate. |
| 12:16:29 | Sat | Domocracy could result in an Islamic dealy bob as well. |
| 12:16:35 | Sat | * Sat shrugs |
| 12:17:20 | Sat | well it's time for me to head out for a lunch with 13 and walking the dogs afterward. |
| 12:17:24 | MoEnzyme | right, well, then it wouldn't be a democracy anymore. Real democracy is incompatible with theocracy. |
| 12:17:36 | MoEnzyme | okay, good chatting. ttyl. |
| 12:17:39 | Sat | Keep an eye on the world for me Mo and let me know if anything else happens. |
| 12:17:42 | Sat | * Sat grins |
| 12:17:46 | MoEnzyme | I will :) |
| 12:17:49 | Sat | :) |
