As you guys probably know there have been a lot of revolutions and riots happening this region. Egypt was recently successful in over throwing their longtime president, Hosni Mubarak. Libya is going through heavy riots and some less known countries in the Middle East are also going through revolutions.

Well a lot of them are going for democracy which, thanks to American propaganda, I'm made to think is good.

I firmly believe it's a strong message these people are sending that they're human beings like us and they don't like to be oppressed, and the Taliban are stuffting their pants right now.

What? There is no question that democracy is good, "American propaganda" has nothing to do with it, democracy is a tried and true system that works. Why would you not like a system in which YOU, the PEOPLE, have the power.

I think it's great that people are finally coming together to change their lives instead of just waiting for a miracle to occur.

In the Republican Democracy which exists iin America we elect people who say they will do things that are not done. I'm actually more of a communist, in theory. I believe that Marxist Communism is the ultimate form of government.

Unfortunatly it can't ever be applied to mass populations.

Yeah but that's why you go and make a small society in a largely unoccupied area and make it self-sufficient.

But we have a lot of people per square mile on average as it is. Are you saying that we should heavily populate secluded sectors, or kill a lot of people? I am confused.

Have fun waddling through the transitional "socialism" stage.

About the revolutions, so far it seems that the people behind these are mostly the young ones filled with ideals and such. Let's hope they won't be corrupted by fundamentalists, otherwise we'd be stuck with plenty of hostile countries and the world would be worse off on a global scale.
