When they have no food, China will take to the streets. Anoter bad harvest this year and the revolution may come... maybe even from starving North Korea.

Cowardly Libyan govt thugs wouldn’t dare try this if the people were armed. …and this why Americans have the right to bear arms under second amendment, namely,to protect the first amendment. And the first amendment prohibits the making of any law infringing on freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. The second amendment is the insurance policy for freedom.

Islam is incapable with democracy. There will be a democratic process towards forming a theocracy.

You read it here first with Japlan. Who knows if Mubarak is even in the country? This today:
Egypt president's son, family flee to Britain Arab Herald Wednesday 26th January, 2011
(IANS)
"Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's son who is considered as his successor has fled to Britain along with his family, US-based Arabic website Akhbar al-Arab reported".

We are witnessing history in the making that will shape the future of the Middle East. The Suddenly Open Defiance Alliance of Pissed Off People (SODA POP) rising up in the Middle East will spread across the landscape like fire.
Hosni Mubarak will be the next one to catch a flight out to Saudi Arabia if he has the chance to escape before they shut down Cairo. I may be wrong, but it looks a lot like Obama encouraged the demonstrators/revolutionaries in his State of the Union address tonight.
Many of these revolutionaries are Islamic militants who have been stirring the pot for some time now. This is happening hand in hand with widespread persecution/exodus of Christians in the Middle East. They would be only too happy to kick out the US backed corrupt governments that march to Washington’s drum. The puppets of Arabia must be pissing their pants/robes and loading their gold into cargo containers, while drafting exit strategies to South America.

Its like the Obama/Bush stimulus... its not working so we need more. More drones, more death in Pakistan. Debt driven western consumer economies don’t care how growth is generated; peace or war is all gravy to the bankster elite. Two wars certainly deserve a third if they don’t help Wall Street and get Obama reelected as he swerves right of Pelosi.

Exactly, you made my point. Yes, suicide is a choice. Life is a series of choices that make us responsible for our actions. Suicide is always blamed on the availability of guns in the States.
Detach yourself for a moment from all the divisive vitriol and be intellectually honest. Crime is also a social problem and has nothing to do with guns, because they aren’t widely available in Japan. But knives are everywhere even though there are strict laws about carrying knives. (Knives are not a social problem unless you want to make it one). So we agree! Like a knife, a gun is a tool, an inanimate object. It has no will, no mind. It can be used for good or evil.
The antigun crowd always hinges the argument on “more guns create more crime”. Australia has more gun crime now that guns have been taken away from its citizens. Smoke that in your pipe if its still legal.
Guns have always been a part of the American landscape. Violence to oneself or others is a social problem. Crime is a socioeconomic problem. It is the breakdown of the family in America that is the weak link. I make the same assertion about fatherless Japan. Violent Hollywood culture and violent video games fill the void of lost social consciousness to make killers numb to killing.
Why do cops need to carry guns in Japan? Because knives just impulsively jump into the hands of otherwise decent people and cause crime all by themselves. We must outlaw all those cheep 100 yen assault knives from China (!!!) and the Jcops would not need a gun in a knife fight. Most cops could then focus on socially redeeming activities like panty collecting instead. All the other cops (female) will still need a gun.

Because they are illegal, there should be no guns in Japan at all, but we know this is not the case. Based on the logic (that guns kill or make killing/violence easy), there should be much less suicide per capita in gunless Japan too, but not the case. At 24 suicides out of 100,000 people, Japan’s suicide rate is more than double that of the USA at 11/100,000 people; the country with the highest per capita gun ownership (88 out of 100 own a gun) in the world.
