it would just be nice if you give your opinion with in your op. i am surprised your happy to allow the other poster to speak for you.

if you really want to start acting like a child with your derpity derp crap i will just ask a mod to close the thread because you are not prepared to provide some input. show some manners for god sake.

What I see is the Egypt protesters are trying to create a new government and they are willing to die for the cause. The OWS protesters are a bunch of unemployed hippie wannabes who cry if they are sprayed with mace. I got your point thank you a picture is worth 1,000 words.

well i wouldn't so abruptly stereotype the ows movement just yet. their cause like rock and roll has its posers but i think i'll lend them my ear.

Hey now, my response wouldn't of been so "Childish" if your comment wasn't so sarcastic, c'mon, when someone says, we don't read minds, that's when it became a wtf moment for me and made my decision to say derp, since being a jerk for no reason deserves a DERP, if you would of been nice in your original post I would of in turn been nice back, next time please refrain from being mean, and try being polite, and also about the threat of the MODS, all I gotta say is, lets see you try :-).

Thank you, when I seen this live, my stomach turned, the people in the live stream chat were talking about how hard it is for them, (yeah sitting in front of a computer screen, cant be to tough if you can afford internet,) talking about the drum circles and how communism now, screw capitalism, then I look at Canada, a puppet?, everyone is laughing and dancing and how they were "standing their ground" against the police force begging people to show up at midnight to document themselves chained against a tree, THEN I look at Egypt, words can't describe. Perspective anyone? is all I thought.

Do the Canadians need a new government?
Or just better people, that know how to make it function?

Kinda like the us.
We need better people in places of power. The basic structure of the government is ok.
But no one is willing to make it work. It's as if they didn't read the instruction manual.

i just want to say i am no futher on here trying to figure what your point is in this thread?

are you dissappointed? are you dissappointed that there isn't the same anarchy in the ows movement? do you think the situation in egypt is out of control? society has more or less broken down in parts of egypt, do you want see this elsewhere?

dozens of people are being shot dead in egypt at the minute. i have no idea why they think they should be dying for this? many died to get rid of mubarek. now, many more are dying because the military are in charge.

i think the picture is of 2 very different situations that cannot really be compared.i still really dont know what your thoughts are on this?
