I like to rhyme.

MeechMunchie · #**154** 03-04-2011, 01:14 PM

I'm breaking this combo before it gets out of hand.

STM · #**155** 03-04-2011, 01:14 PM

=( No high five for you then.

Dixanadu · #**156** 03-05-2011, 06:31 AM

I got infracted for this.

I sad

STM · #**157** 03-05-2011, 07:53 AM

Infracted buddies!

I was discussing this with my dad today, he thinks this is all because of the American Mortgage Crisis but I think Egypt has sparked a massive influence in the downtrodden at the moment.

Dixanadu · #**158** 03-05-2011, 09:32 AM

It'll spread like a ripple, yeno.

Algeria > Tunisia > Egypt > Libya

It seems to get much more worse too, and there's shit kicking off in Bahrain too.

Havoc · #**159** 03-05-2011, 07:19 PM

Iran is brewing a little too, though their dictator is completely denying it and probably killing everyone in his country who even dares speaking out. But it won't really be a part till Iran has joined the fun.

STM · #**160** 03-06-2011, 06:54 AM

Meanwhile in Iran...

I reckon Palestine loves every little bit of power Iran loses over its people.

Dixanadu · #**161** 03-06-2011, 07:01 AM

Then Israel takes that power.

STM · #**162** 03-06-2011, 07:17 AM

Them Jews and Mussers need to learn to get along. But then, it's all Big Three's fault anyway.

Dixanadu · #**163** 03-06-2011, 09:13 AM

I had heard recently a bookmaker's in the city are literally taking bets to see which African/Middle East country will be in unrest next.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

STM · #**164** 03-06-2011, 09:22 AM

That's harsh but call me apathetic when I say fairplay.

Dixanadu · #**165** 03-06-2011, 09:35 AM

Derry is full of so many injustices.

I'm eager to see how they get rid of Gadaffi. It's like waiting for the ending of a gripping TV series.

STM · #**166** 03-06-2011, 09:49 AM

'Derry'= u Catholic?

I agree, I want Gadaffi to be put away, removed, shot, whatever, no leader airstrikes civilians and tells UN it's none of it's business.

Dixanadu · #**167** 03-06-2011, 10:12 AM

I'm not religious or political when it comes to Northern Ireland, Protestants call it Derry too in conversation. Only called Londonderry formally.

I want Gadaffi to be eaten by a Tyrannosaurus!

STM · #**168** 03-06-2011, 11:35 AM

Fairplay on both matters XD

Dixanadu · #**169** 03-06-2011, 02:21 PM

I could just imagine turning on Sky News, with a massive headline at the bottom of the screen:

GADAFFI EATEN

I don't follow your logic.

STM · #**171** 03-07-2011, 08:41 AM

Indeed, should write as Israel.

***Nate*** · #**172** 03-08-2011, 02:46 AM

It's difficult to say. They don't like the current leadership, of course, but there's no guarantee that any replacement would be any better - and if they're a populist goverment, they could possibly be worse. On the other hand, whilst I wouldn't pretend to be an expert on Palestinian politics, I believe it's likely that Fatah (who control the West Bank) would be happy about a change of leadership in Iran, whilst Hamas (who control Gaza and receive millions from the Iranian government) would want things to remain the way they are.

STM · #**173** 03-08-2011, 09:03 AM

I don't know enough about Israel to comment without sounding a fool (I know that never stopped me before).

Did anyone here about those SAS troops who got escorted out of the country, basically told to piss off. Funny.

Dixanadu · #**174** 03-08-2011, 11:46 AM

By Gadaffi loyalists, no doubt.

The rebels actually seem open to talk with foreign news journalists, though they did tell some journalists to leave for their own safety.

Russia is against foreign military intervention. It does nothing to dissolve America's reputation as 'hungry oil thieves', as Gadaffi accurately depicted them.

STM · #**175** 03-08-2011, 12:29 PM

Good, Russia being neutral is the safest bet over the next few years as things heat up, damn it we better had too, I can't afford another war, neither can any member of my family or the rest of the population of this sinking ship.

Dixanadu · #**176** 03-08-2011, 03:44 PM

By what Russia said, they seem to be protecting Libya.

Maybe they think they'll get some oil as a reward. I see through their ways.

STM · #**177** 03-09-2011, 08:40 AM

They bought ours, and sell it to us a extortionate prices, they don't need anyone elses. Especially since BP has monopoly on Libya.

Dixanadu · #**178** 03-09-2011, 04:16 PM

There was more fighting today.

Gadaffi's forces won.

Boooooooooo

metroixer · #**179** 03-09-2011, 07:17 PM

Speaking of Russia's stand on this

My father has been watching the whole thing in Libya through a Russian News station. He's saying it that american/english are blowing the whole thing out of proportion. That, in truth, the number of rebels aren't really that significant compared to the number of loyalists, and while they do have a hefty bit of territory covered they don't stand a chance against Gadaffi forces. He's also a believer of the idea that the whole civil war started over Al Queda manipulation.

Thoughts? I'm afraid I haven't been following the situation over there too closely, and the idea I'm getting is that Gadaffi = bad guy but my dad is hell bent on proving otherwise.

Wings of Fire · #**180** 03-10-2011, 02:15 AM

Your father is a fucking idiot.
