DogOnPorch Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 What do you think ? That unless I stop pointing out elements of the new improved Egypt I'll be visiting the Cooler or perhaps firing squad? OK...I'll change my tune. From now on, I'll be fanatically pro-Muslim Brotherhood. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Michael Hardner Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 That unless I stop pointing out elements of the new improved Egypt I'll be visiting the Cooler or perhaps firing squad? No - I don't have the power to send you to the cooler. I'm just another poster here, who is trying to move the discussion in a direction where I can reply, or do something other than make popcorn, turn out the lights and watch some scary movies. As I said you made your point in copy when you posted the stated mission of the current Egyptian government. There's no need to continually spike the ball with garish videos, posted over and over again. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
DogOnPorch Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I disagree. That the Egyptians are willing to use children to spread hatred is certainly worth noting several times until some here figure that out. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Michael Hardner Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 ...unless it's about the Israeli occupation or climate change, right ? Wrong. Posting videos isn't an issue but I think that it's fair to ask people not to post the same type of thing over and over again when it's essentially the same content.

Posting videos isn't an issue but I think that it's fair to ask people not to post the same type of thing over and over again when it's essentially the same content. You can ask for whatever you wish, but the inconsistency is obvious. Good thing we don't have to grant all that you ask for. Edited December 3, 2012 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
DogOnPorch Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) "The Egyptians" Meanwhile, in Egypt, Egyptians fight Egyptians. Are you saying that those children weren't broadcast on Egyptian national TV to an audience? Sounds like 'Egyptians' is plenty accurate. If they don't like folks like myself posting their own TV programs, I'd urge 'true Scotsmen Egyptians' to get their act together and purge these anti-Semites from their midst.

Show me where I approved of somebody posting 3 videos in a row with no comment on any topic. I don't think you will find any such thing. You don't have to "grant" me a thing, but I do ask for the same consideration personally that is demanded of all of us here. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase !

Sleipnir Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) No one said a transition from dictatorship to democracy would be clean and easy. It seems the longer the lifespan of a dictator government, the messier and harder the transition will be to democracy.

Can you try making a point thats germaine to the conversation? Are you suggesting the text you posted makes it impossible the MB to participate in pluralistic system? Are you maybe confusing the words secular and pluralism? Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

The MB is very clear that the Koran alone is their constitution and that death in the name of Allah is the highest aspiration. You can believe their Taqiya if you wish.
