Thank you for posting that which is certainly awful as I've said time and time again. I've answered your question about what is better. Guess what. Women and their families were unjustly punished, imprisoned and killed under the previous regime. So while it still happens, as well as an increase in rape, there is something that is better about Egypt today. Egyptians can and are making changes. The protests and the reaction to the brutality shows that Egyptians are willing to to take a stand and move their nation forward. The fact that they now have a legitimate process to do that is a huge improvement over what they had under Mubarak. That's true of women and men living in Egypt. I understand that you hate that that is the case. I'll let you take whatever time you need to come to grips with that reality.
It's okay. Watching him come unglued is not a problem for me. I don't take his insults and antics seriously. I'm just watching the show.
This is still happening. Please provide any proof that this has decreased from the previous regime to this one. What positive changes have been achieved? What legitimate process? You mean the elections? I agree that the mere fact that they had the opportunity to vote - at least once - was an improvement. The elections have not led to more freedom, though, which was what you were constantly claiming. What led to more freedom was the strong will of Egyptians to get more freedom and better living conditions. The tragedy is that not only has that goal not been achieved, living conditions have actually worsened and they do not have more freedom. They are back to square one. Whether they will even have free elections again is an open question, but any other rights cannot be exercised more freely than under Mubarak. That is very generous of you. Assuming that by "that is the case" you mean the ability to have free elections (because that is the only thing that can be seen as an improvement so far), what exactly is the basis for you to claim that I would "hate that that is the case"? Please provide proof for this statement. Thanks in advance.
You are, in fact, being very disingenuous. You don't care one bit about Egypt or Egyptians. You don't care about facts either. You are just trying to get under my skin, lying, ignoring facts, making dumbass statements. It's easy to see, and it doesn't get under my skin. I am not calling you an idiot because you would have gotten under my skin, but because you are acting like one. Oh, and da1 - stick that report somewhere. Feel free to report it, but you are just spamming with your "Reported" posts. Good luck.
Nope. You have been making the claim that people have more freedom, because they have the freedom to protest. I have shown - with sources, in contrast to you - that this is factually untrue. Showing that the facts are different from what you claim does not mean that I don't wish they would have these freedoms. Nice try.
You must be a teacher because only that type of person could possibly maintain such patience in the face of nonsense. Much respect!
I know you have been to both. Do you have an opinion? 1) Do you think the West should support the rebels with weapons? 2) Do you think Egyptians (especially women) are better off now than they were under Mubarak? I would be curious to hear your take.
Watch this at the 13:15 mark. To paraphrase: You shut up. No, you shut up. No, you shut up... Enter small child... Why don't you BOTH SHUT UP!
