Don't be so ridiculous "Pyschochomp"
Anyone who works as hard as RSwipe for as little reward must be pretty damned important in the scheme of things.

ah, i get it now. so you'd happily kill yourself for freedom in tunisia because you clearly think it's really important
how come we don't see you off there on a plane ready to support this amazing revolution that you are so happy to see 8 random people die for, though, can you just explain that, ta!

come to think of it, i'll even buy the ticket for you, think of it as my contribution to world peace.

we have lots of sarcastic people on here

i am torn between continuing to wind you up and actually rolling my eyes at you
you are saying that you think this revolution is amazing, but will necessarily be fuelled by a few casualties. therefore that it is ok if some people die if it is for the greater good and it is inevitable.

i am saying, i fundamentally disagree that anything of this nature is worth anyone's LIFE and that people shouldn't ever kill each other. i am sorry if you think that is thick. but then again maybe if i had to exist in milton keynes i would think life is cheap too.

ZING!
Just missing some sort of Northern reference.

Agree with the not worth a life point.

the only problem with the point is
that it needs the whole world to buy into it.

I never said it was inevitable.
But yes that's partially what I'm saying.

What you're saying is that people should be shat on for generations and just suck it up because at least they're not dead.

30 years this guys been in power, anyone who tried to organise a peaceful protest was arrested and imprisoned without charge. He's killed dozens if not hundreds of political enemies but that doesn't matter it's not worth risking more life to stop him.

It's just not fair.

nope, that's not what i was saying
idyllically and unrealistically, i was simply saying that all these things should be resolved peacefully without anyone dying, and the only way to do that is for people to stop killing each other. i'm not saying it will happen. i am just saying that it SHOULD happen.

i am surprised you disagree with this, but i am sure you have your reasons.

Wait a sec, don't be so dismissive.
Imagine if there really was nothing worth dying for, therefore also there being nothing worth killing for. Extend that to hurting and you've got a pretty idealistic system.

I don't really know what's going on at the moment, without looking it up, but I've always regarded Egypt as a peceful country, at least on the middle-east scale of things.
What exactly is it people are pissed off about?

and the fact that they have had the same leader for 30 years and he's effectively a dictator.

In the original quote you are right, it is "unspeakably"
