Libya

[Bebo]

Source?

 

My story sounds a bit more realistic, AND I heard it fae one of the boys who was there.

 

Was he one of the TOP BOYS from THE FIRM, and did he run the others up and down the town?

You're being silly now.

[Bluto10]

Owned them I do believe, and picked himself, as obscenely rich megalomaniacs tend to do.

 

as usual.

a load of utter sh*te.

 

tup, we all know you dont have an opinion on anything.

 

certainly not foreign stuff.

[tup]

No, was President of the Libyan Football Association and was captain of Libya.......never owned Perugia. He did have some involvement of Juve however.

 

Well he must have paid his way onto the park as he was, if I recall correctly, rubbish.

[phoenix]

Why is this all kicking off, I've not really kept up to date with the news, so anyone shed some light on what this is all about?

 

 

I understand Wikileaks had something to do with it.

 

But when people are oppressed there is a time bomb ticking.

 

I wonder too whether having been subjugated by their religion( a powerful political tool for suppressing the people ) for so long that they might even be considering the awful truth that Allah is a figment of their own imaginations.

The problems these countries face are manifold. You have a tiny % of their populace who are extremely wealthy, whilst the rest are cast into an eternal poverty.

so one could draw parallels with tillydrone then.

[tup]

Aye but the penny dropping for the masses does not automatically grant them equality.

 

With wealth comes power, and if Gaddaffi and Mubarak flee, another couple of cronies will be installed in their places.

 

Everything changes, but nothing does.

[Dubai-Dandy]

Chitter chatty out here that Gadafi isnt leaving.

[tainboy]

He's on the news now. Proper nut job.

 

They smashed the Italian empire on Libyan soil - cut their heads off here.

 

Battled NATO on libyan soil.

 

Libya will not surrender.

 

Bet he's got tinfoil under his ragtop

[Dom Sullivan]

Yup, although the oppression was more than religious subjugation in Libya.

 

 

 

Yes but why? The colonel is a corrupt and sick man who's sanity has long gone. It is he and his regime that have starved their own people for 42 years.

 

It's an old fashioned simple dictator who sold his country and the west were more than happy to take his oil and ignore his human rights record.

 

Greed, of both parties in power, with no consideration of anything other than personal gain. No surprise there then.

 

Galloway's been calling it for years but no-one in government wanted to hear the truth and the tabloid readers (the majority) are too thick to think.

 

Egypt and now Libya. The pressure from the people is building on their corrupt west-whoring leaders with only one ultimate outcome coming.

Aye, Gorgeous George maybe could see the poverty on the streets in Libya but wis he nae best mates wi Gadafi Duck, shaking hands wi the Loon and allegedly exchanging broon envelopes and the like wi the the despot?

 

If true, Gorgeous George is nae better than Blair, Broon (Gogsy, nae Pa) and to a lesser extent Cameron, who have all done deals with Mr Despot and shaken hands wi the radge but all are now claiming that the sooner the blagard is gone the better.

 

Gorgeous is a smooth talking twat

Its difficult to take anyone seriously when they have been a contestant on big brother

the italians kicked the libyans all over the shop during the era of fascism. libya only got independence when the waps were made to give it back after world war two because they'd been very naughty boys getting too friendly with adolf for a while.

[tightbreeks]

World War 3 here we come as the race heats up to grab what you can. I'm off to by last of the v8 intercepters and become a road warrior.

[vanderark14]

apparently the Israelis are nay too happy that the Iranians have sent to naval ship through the SUEZ iday

Brilliant

 

 

[scarlet pimpernel]

what a class act galloway is. noticed he's back doing the friday night slot on talksport radio. he is truly without equal.

 

his big brother appearance was comedy gold. apparently he was involved in some in-depth political discussions with fellow housemates and he had hoped that would have been shown but channel four decided to show him dressed up in a leotard dancing like a robot and him pretending to sip milk out of a bowl whilst being petted by rula lenska instead.

 

go figure.

This guy is an absolute puddin'!!!

 

delusional, stark raving bonkers but he's been our friend and ally countless times. heaven help us.

 

good box office though the bloke, can't argue that.

[Terrorfex]

This one's our fault too, right?

[Bebo]

If you are going to assume the position (of simplistic interpreter for simple minds), at least get it slightly right.

 

 

Then recently a man in a village in Tunisia set himself on fire in protest of what started out as economic grievances which then developed into protests about government corruption. The word got out via facebook and twitter and youtube using the same model learned from Iran.

 

The protests started when a street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, set himself on fire after his cart was confiscated by police. His anger - over unemployment, poverty and corruption - resonated in Tunisia, and led to weeks of street protests against Ben Ali

[Bebo]

There and there.

 

The use of social media has intensified and spread the word for the protests. It meant communication of the injustices and brutality got out. The region learned from Iran's previous election and subsequent protests of the importance and reliance of those tools.

[Bebo]

So? Your attempt to summarise the cause and effect is laughably simplistic and misses the whole issue completely, on a stunningly stupid scale.

 

You don't know the history so don't assume the role of oracle.

 

In fact, you know nothing other than what you've read, the absence of any critical thinking and subsequent interpretation thereof being patently apparent.

 

Assuming the role of oracle? Did roberto want a run down on the socio-economic, deep-rooted history, geopolitics and reasons for the grievances? I laid out the pretext for and catalyst and method in which allowed the movements to be a success.

[TheG_L_A]

Is Gaddafi and his mates baddies.

 

And everyone else is goodies.

 

Can it be not be simply explained like that, Rocket?

[tup]

Fair play to Gaddaffi it canna be easy keepin a straight face when you've named your country (99% sand) after a part of a woman's dribbly bits. I'm amazed he's kept the

joke running this long.

 

And he's in charge of the only country who's flag is all one colour, with no features. c**t's at it, big time.

[TheG_L_A]

He's a bit like Skeletor.

[Bebo]

Oh, so you are an expert in this field? So expert you took it upon yourself to describe it as "simple", when the reality is anything but, yet proceeded to concentrate on social media as a valid explanation?

 

 

 

This gives the game away. the people in libya have been living with dictatorship and social and economic inequality for six decades. They didn't need no f**king facebook to tell them what they knew already.

 

 

I don't think you're giving enough credit to facebook for aiding the revolution.

 

 

 

An Egyptian man has decided to show his appreciation towards Facebook for its role during the revolution in his country by naming his firstborn daughter Facebook.

 

From the article: 'Egyptian dictator Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak was in power from 1981 until February 11, 2011, when he resigned after 18 days of protests. Facebook has been credited for helping organize regime-ending protests in the country. Although the Egyptian revolution saw some planning done via Twitter, direct text messages, and other forms of electronic communication, Facebook has come to symbolize all the forms of social media that people used to organize the revolutions in the Middle East.'"

[tutankamun]

The world has lived with "social and economic inequality" since.... well since Cain killed Abel.

 

This is the Internet age, the times they are a changing'

[tup]

Does anyone expect anything other than a total c**t to be in charge of a shithole like Libya?

 

f**k them and their problems.

This guy is an absolute puddin'!!!

 

Hard to argue the idea that he's out of his box. Although, not being an Arab-speaker myself I have to rely on translations that could, or could not, be accurate.

 

Though if they're even close to accurate then it would be safe to say the Gadaffi's all the sandwiches short of a picnic.

 

Actually, listening to what he allegedly said brings memories of the insane revolutionary leader in Bananas.
