What's the difference between Egypt and the USA?

[mpohl 1]

In Egypt, the people will fight for their rights. And risk death in doing so. But fight they will.

In the USA, they just curl up and die! For lack of health insurance, employment, etc. What a nation of cowards!!!!!

Seems the usual tea-partiers, Texans, pundits, are asleep at the wheel. Or they wholeheartedly agree...!

you need to troll better, or offer an actual subject for discussion.

if you think Egypt is preferable to how discourse is done here, it's a simple (log) flight out there.

So why don't you get lost!!! I am tired of all the GOP'ers or NRA'lers to suggest that I take a flight out!!!

Alternatively, why don't you relocate to Somalia. It's a government-free zone, right now! Good riddance!!!!

The difference is: Egypt has more unemployment. And if you don't have a job what better past time than to walk down to the square and join a protest. In DC most are working. Plus, with all the monuments on the mall, and more being built, including the peanut history museum, Irag memorial? Afgan? and Libia memorial?. with restrictions to standing there, tell me where you might wage your fight. OH in July is the 150th of Gettysburg. Maybe that's where you can wage your fight, in this cop ladden, and sherrif, state, local, park police society... try fighting. Hell Occupy tried camping as a weapon and couldn't even get that done.

I'm neither.

I am struggling to figure out what is it about Egypt you find preferable. Are you trying to incite violence to accomplish some end goal?

Occupy used perfectly valid and effective tactics...the problem was they have no fucking message to deliver, so it failed. If they could have moved beyond "I'm angry" to an actual agenda, who knows how it might have gone. They briefly had a "close out your accounts from Big Banker Scum" day going that could have been brilliant...though in these parts it fell apart when it was found that Occupy Oakland was using Bank of America (maybe Wells) because it worked better for them.

Whats the difference? Well in Egypt there is a brown man in power whereas in the USA... Erm, never mind.

In Egypt, the people are fighting for their rights in the present day.

In the USA, the people fought for their rights some 200 years ago.

...and hung up their spurs, never to fight for rights again.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Well, there was that war around 1860 or so that got some people some rights. And there was an awful lot of fighting in the 1960's that got people some more rights. And nowadays the battle over gay rights is, fortunately, not very bloody - but the fight does go on.
