you're not breaking anything to me, i was in an ltr with a *persian* gal and visited her family in tehran years ago.

but you are still not getting it.

1st, the thread is about syria.

2. the social structure is 2 classes- ruling class, the have's and the don't have much at all class.

3. you do not get that an ipad/electronic device is a LUXURY item. period. moreover, it is a luxury item with a fancy screen designed to play movies and show pictures.

4. so you think dropping a bunch of electronic luxury items on the lower class is going to somehow magically do what? create prosperity? completely change the class structure? how on earth would the ruling class allow that? that by allowing them to watch reruns of
fresh prince of beverly hills is going to save them? that by giving them access to information is equivalent to giving them some sort of tool for bettering themselves?



we're spoiled here, we think luxury items are the norm and are basic requirements to good living. they are not.

i won't even get into the fact that those people have not asked for our help in bringing them up out of the *doldrums* you think they are in. unsolicited *help*? no.

3 out of 4 syrians are in the lower class of the 2 primary social classes there:

The enduring failure of democracy promotion abroad.
The American quest to spread freedom to autocrat-ruled nations is widely popular among foreign policy wonks. Too bad it doesn't work

here's another way to look at it

us: hey, your life sucks, here's a fancy electronic device so you can see how cool my life is!

Fuck Assad.

You're as stupid as everyone thinks you are.

How am I the one victim of propaganda when I haven't voiced my opinion one way or another?

You are the one making statements based on the opinion of UK supporters and crap you saw online. pure propaganda. :1orglaugh

If you had researched you would know that there's only a small percentage of people in Syria are do not support him (based on religion). You've assumed after what's been in the mainstream media that there's a legit uprising going on in Syria, which there is not, a proxy army of Western-controlled terrorists have been sent in.

what's the USA version of that formula?

and then fly drones above the country to provide internet access sans governmental firewalls?

This is too funny :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You are the one saying we should question what's fed to us but when I ask you how do you know almost everyone loves Assad you have no answer.

and again...

I CAN'T BE A VICTIM OF PROPAGANDA OR ASSUME ANYTHING WHEN I HAVEN'T EXPRESSED AN OPINION. YOU ON THE OTHER HAND CHOSE A SIDE SO, RIGHT OR WRONG, SINCE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THERE, YOU BOUGHT INTO THAT SIDE'S STORY AKA PROPAGANDA.

looks like income distribution is currently

~25% lower class
~50% middle class
~25% upper class

Hahahahhahahaha.


Best one for a while man.

That was great.

for the USA? link

Not wearing uniforms?? Oh my God!!
That is just not right. If they take away the uniform and kill someone then that just makes them a murderer.


Then you say they are using civilians as shields and hiding in civilian buildings.
My god again!! First not wearing uniforms and then fighting in civilian buildings I thought things like this only happened in Irak!

And terrorism to scare the population? Mary Joseph and Jesus !! Only the police have the right to do that! But then I guess that comes back to refusing to wear uniforms. I hope and pray that to Jesus that NATO does something to make these people put on some uniforms real quick so we can go back to being a civilized world.

If you are going to kill, terrorize people or hide in a civilian building you better be wearing a uniform.

Yeah, cause all dictators are good and never harm their people. The idiocy of GFY has reached a new level.

sarcasm is not in your dictionary ....:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And what do you know? Have you ever been to Syria? Do you even know it's culture?

You seem to be talking out from your ass, specially from what you read in your newspapers.

Try to get informed and get a CLUE of what Central Intelligence Agency is behind the RIOTS, like they were behind every RIOT in middle east... EX-Yugoslavian.
