Shit, MA, this place has been boring without you.

Napoleon was born in Italy, I believe.

Knew the French can't do shit.

I have traced seven degrees of separation between myself and Napoleon. Which Napoleon, I couldn't say.

I am absolutely loving all these uprisings. People fighting for what they believe in even though their friends and family are being slaughtered all around them, everyone just keeps on going and force all that anger towards a common goal. It's moments like these in human history where I see a faint shimmer of hope for the human race.

Even though the riots in Libia and Iran are costing a lot of lives at the moment, I hope they keep it up. Unfortunatly it will take a greater amount of casualties before political superpowers like Europe and the US start putting serious pressure on those countries leaders like they did with Egypt. Libia doesn't have the luxery of starting a riot with more then a million people.

EDIT: Scrap that, some tribe just took control of the oil fields in Libia and is putting pressure on the government to start listening to the protesters, or they will cut off the oil supply. Either some oil is gonna burn or people are gonna seriously die. I predict both before Wednesday.

An anchor on Sky News had a conversation with a Libyan man on the phone yesterday.

It was the funniest thing I ever heard.

Havoc · #96 02-21-2011, 02:23 AM

Care to let us in on the laughter?

Dixanadu · #97 02-21-2011, 03:55 AM

No video exists, as of yet. But I'm checking daily, it's too good of a lol just to be forgotten. Someone somewhere else bound to have thought it was funny enough to upload.

In short, Libyan with bad accent, saying "HELLO!?" a lot, and stuttering like crazy.

Perhaps when they've overthrown Gaddafi they can finish melting his face for him.

Manco · #99 02-21-2011, 09:10 AM

So Colonel Gadaffi has fled Libya: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...rotesters.html

:

Credible Western intelligence reports say that Muammar Gaddafi has fled Libya and is on his way to exile in Venezuela, according to William Hague, the foreign secretary.

***Nate*** · #**100** 02-21-2011, 04:34 PM

Venezuela is denying it.

Bullet Magnet · #**101** 02-22-2011, 01:55 AM

The Grand Prix in Bahrain was cancelled because of, hey, anti-government democracy protests.

It's like a contagious disease that helps people.

Dixanadu · #**102** 02-22-2011, 07:11 AM

Gaddafi giving a speech live right now. What a fuckhead.

Manco · #**103** 02-22-2011, 09:09 AM

Loving this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog...n-live-updates

:

• Gaddafi: 'I cannot leave my country, I will die a martyr'

Sound familiar?

And I just love the way they describe his speech:

:

• Libyan leader makes rambling speech after days of unrest

STM · #**104** 02-22-2011, 09:57 AM

Gaddafi, Mister 'I will sleep in a tent until every Libyan has a house'...tcha!

Dixanadu · #**105** 02-22-2011, 10:50 AM

"I am still in Tripoli,"

Yeah, and not in your fancy palace. Sitting in the back of some old van.

The big goose.

Apparently Libya is a no fly zone because, despite the fact Turdaffi sent a news video to his people assuring them he is only protecting their best interests...he is now air striking various outlying hotspots. What a douche.

Dixanadu · #**108** 02-23-2011, 01:32 AM

India also cut off flights to and from Libya in attempt to 'keep them where they are'.

Lol.

Havoc · #**109** 02-25-2011, 01:47 AM

Funny little fact, Turdaffi apparently has an oil company that is based in the Netherlands. So now someone is trying to get that company's accounts frozen.

STM · #**110** 02-25-2011, 02:48 AM

I like how Turdaffi is sticking!

Havoc · #**111** 02-25-2011, 06:56 AM

I find it refreshingly original.

STM · #**112** 02-25-2011, 08:20 AM

Thank you kindly Havoc of the Shire.

Dixanadu · #**113** 02-25-2011, 11:08 AM

I want to travel to Libya and hit Gaddafi with a brick.

abe is now! · #**114** 02-26-2011, 10:28 AM

They are coming to Italy >.>

Havoc · #**115** 02-26-2011, 12:26 PM

Who is they?

Dixanadu · #**116** 02-26-2011, 01:34 PM

I'll assume he means Libyans fleeing the crisis, there's just a little sea between them and Italy.

STM · #**117** 02-26-2011, 02:59 PM

Yeh, Berlyboy tried to pawn them on to the Brits as well, we told 'em to fuck off.

Havoc · #**118** 02-27-2011, 01:32 AM

Berlyboy? Hahaha.

BTW, when are the riots in Italy going to start to get rid of their dictator?

Dixanadu · #**119** 02-27-2011, 02:47 AM

When he hits on one more person.

For him, there's always one more.

STM · #**120** 02-27-2011, 05:32 AM

But "He's no Saint," if they rebel, they must do it in proper legionary uniform!
