Viriginity Checks done on female protestors in Egypt

[shortylickens]

Americans calling the Islamic world fucked up is like the pot calling the kettle black.

If we have one Courtney worth of fucked-uppedness then Egypt has like 50 Courtneys.

So its more like the toaster over calling the pizza oven "warm".

I would love for to elaborate on your thought.

So you see the glass as half-empty. There aren't any positives that you can find in this country that outweigh the negatives? You're really putting the US on the same level as any one of these shithole countries?

I lived in Spain when the dictator Franco was still alive. They used to joke that Mussolini made the trains run on time, and Franco introduced the Spanish to toilet paper. The police walked around with 45s and Uzi submachine guns and shot to kill if you were on the beach after 5:00. Egypt's not that bad.

My point is that both the US and Muslim world can easily be viewed as the glass being half empty. If people are going to throw rocks they shouldn't live in glass houses.

Maybe, just maybe you should heed your own advice.

The US is my home, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to its flaws or refuse to point them out. I'm neither throwing rocks at Islam or the US, merely pointing out the futility of throwing rocks when you live in a glass house. If that bothers you then perhaps it is something you need to think about.

Maybe you should think about it some more??? Every thing you post is how fucked up America is. I wish the fuck you would move to one of those shit box countries so you can actually see how fucked up you really are. And stop the stupidity of your posting.

Wasn't the world cheering at Egypt being free?

Mubarak was a bastard. But, he kept the fundamentalists down on the ground, with his heels on their throats.

Yes, but Egypt doesn't label any of their Courtneys as celebs.... celebs who live better, have more money and rewards for being Courtney, than anyone else.

That is the issue; America places whores, sluts, druggies, rapists, wife beaters and killers on pedastools and worships them.

Oh, and lets not forget Charlie Sheen. Good job on spending $600 per ticket, on watching a drug addict get boo'ed on stage America.

Egypt is a military dictatorship. Democracy not found.

Like I already said, I once lived in one of those shit box countries. As for criticizing the US, this is the political bulletin board and there is little here except criticism of the US. Talk about your stupid posts!

I live in a country that calls torture "enhanced interrogation", that has indefinitely suspended our constitutional rights, that has the largest prison population in the world, that has the highest homicide, STD, and abortion rates in the developed world. Where cops can now bust down your door on a whim and shoot you. At least Muslims have the excuse of living in the third world!

Congrats on being the classic lib nutcase for right wing talk radio. You're the very thing that gets called up as an example of how screwed up liberals are. It's people like you that make liberals hard to take seriously.

http://forums.anandtech.com/member.php?u=288450wuliheron, you've managed to derail the whole thread with one short, idiotic post.

I don't want to be confrontational, or put you on the spot or anything, but I think it would do you some good to realize that everyone on this forum -except, maybe, LL- hates you (with a passion) and that you should probably stop posting.

Think about it, if you did this, then you would no longer have waste your time with posts that nobody ever agrees with or even listens to. Seriously, look at your post count - over 2.2k posts in like, what, 4-5 months? That can't be healthy.

Hate is good. Hate is what politics is all about right? Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Hate the US, hate the Muslims, hate entitlements, hate liberals, hate conservatives, hate everyone! Now that's what I call healthy hate.

Awwww

Sure, we can hate "Awwww" too.

LOL. This dumbass is obviously trolling, or he's actually trying to rationalize his douchebaggery.

 

[wwswimming]

do they have any job openings ?

 

[thegimp03]

Like someone else said, just because there's no hymen, doesn't mean a girl's not a virgin.

Yep, lol.

So how many actual democracies exist in the Middle-East again?

A flimsy excuse if I ever saw one. Egypt, you used to be the height of human civilization. First step to reclaiming that is going to be pulling your heads from your collective rectums.

well, I'm going to reword their official statement:

"We didn't want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren't virgins in the first place," the general said. "None of them were (virgins)."

thusly:

"We didn't want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them,so we first had to sexually assault them to prove that we hadn't!"

Functioning? I think just Israel? Possibly Iraq now, though its still highly corrupt, fragile, and in its infancy, and thats being optimistic.
