Well, shooters should be arcade-y in that twitch is all you need for the most part, at least for MP anyway which is probably the main reason anyone plays CoD or BF games. I mainly like ones such as R6 or GR1. Was being a bit facetious, but I do always wonder a bit at why people always look down at shooters and want 'better' in some nebulous terms (I assume this will be 'experience' games ). For some, you do need a fair amount of skill to be good, though for some reason they keep wrapping them with unlocks. Malc GTAV is a cool game hey? The game is pure genius and art. I love the random quests and I've had some interesting encounter like hunting and yoga...oh and I was killed by a wild cat !!! I love just exploring the world and the radio stations genuinely make me laugh. I love the radio talk shows with lazlo and that Doctor who keeps wanting to meet his dad in the jail when people phone in..also that conservative and racist Blair County radio channel, " The only foreign policy decision I agree with is a carpet bomb " ...the parody in the radio stations is brilliant

Barti how is your grandfather ? Has he made anymore funny homophobic comments lately ?

Therefore, we have three possibilities: either the usage of "toxic" in the sentence is a tautology, or it fails to emulate the conventions of the group you claim to mock, or your metaphor is a mess. ( Good usage of the word tautology Where did you read that word in Hungary? Its not used by most English people and most people wouldn't know what it means. But it effectively enhances a point

Hey, I like shooters...just usually not arcade-y ones like Call of Duty. If someone wants to resurrect/make a clone of Stalker (and keep it similar to Stalker in gameplay and tone: it can change in other ways, what do I care), I'm more than happy to support that. Just don't make it unbearably awful like the Fallout resurrection (which switched primary genres, IMO, for no apparent reason, and did it horribly). Like I said before, we all have our tastes...the industry should be able to satisfy us all. Barti you guys must really get over your aversion to Romance, its irrational....its this sheep mentality. Suddenly BSN is not cool, and of course Romance is weird But you guys are just parroting what you heard ...I bet you can't give me a decent reason that is convincing why you don't like Romance ? Romance enhances the overall RPG journey as far as party interaction goes. It makes it more memorable and immersive ...you must embrace it

Well thats one way of looking at it, here is another. Greece can leave Other EU countries banks will transfer there citizens money out Greek banks Greece will still have pay most of the loans back, you cannot avoid the IMF and the EU debt This will set a clear message to the other countries undergoing austerity to continue Holidays in Greece will still be cheap Many countries in Africa aren't really part of the African Union...its not the end of the world Just for the record why do you think most countries want Greece to stay in the EU ?Aren't they tired of all these issues ?

Actually the best thing is just ignore them, why do you want to stoop to there level ? What would that achieve? Unless you feel you need to settle some score which really seems pointless?

Exactly, Denmark is consistently in the top 5 for "Happiest Citizens in the world " ....this matters even if people dismiss it as these studies look at a wide range of metrics Now we take the African continent as I mentioned where we have at least 20 % of countries that have almost broken economies ...and they have been like that for decades And the saddest part is they can transform there economies but there is no political will but the leaders live a good life and average citizen just seems to accept it ....or they blame Colonialism

Don't get me wrong, I admit that the Iranians could renege on there commitments but I am of the opinion that getting access to the international community again and sanctions being lifted will convince them that this is the better option. I also believe that the work of the inspectors will be enforced because if its always ignored we are back to square one and I dont think the Iranians are that myopic or stupid...but lets see

Your ****posting doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves. You and I share many common causes and views, like criticism of GG and a belief in certain SJ values Yet you don't share my support of Capitalism and the West...but thats fine. We can't agree on anything

I think this forum is a great idea. I appreciate the opportunity to see what's in people's heads. I'm sure they'll show everyone how "different" they are from the people they say they criticize. I think this forum is a great idea. I appreciate the opportunity to see what's in people's heads. I'm sure they'll show everyone how "different" they are from the people they say they criticize. This forum highlights just how hurt and bitter people can become and then the only way they can respond to what they perceive is a gender attack it is to create a " venting " forum to discuss how terrible men are. I feel sad for the people who actively would support this because its just going to create more distance and misunderstanding. And I'm not patronizing them, I really feel sorry for them that this is what they feel is a valid response and for them this is a real emotion . Imagine logging on and reading daily examples of how sexist and bigoted men are....and then discussing it ...day after day

What are you worried about? That Republicans if they win the election next year will change the negotiations terms...or something else ? http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-emerging-iran-nuclear-deal-raises-major-concerns-in-congress-and-beyond/2015/02/05/4b80fd92-abda-11e4-ad71-7b9eba0f87d6_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/arab-states-fear-dangerous-iranian-nuclear-deal-will-shake-up-region/2015/07/14/96d68ff3-7fce-4bf5-9170-6bcc9dfe46aa_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/israel-blasts-iran-deal-as-dark-day-in-history/2015/07/14/feba23ae-0018-403f-82f3-3cd54e87a23b_story.html so, a number o' arab nations is concerned about an emboldened and enriched iran in the middle-east, and israel, the only dependable US ally in the middle-east (ever) is also concerned and angry. but hey, at least obama got guarantees that iran would not develop its nuclear capacity, right? no? so, we got what amounts to a capitulation to demands by tehran while playing hardball with Congress? huh? but hey, before the next election, oil prices is likely to drop and a new market will be opened up for a multitude o' american businesses. HA! Good Fun! Wow...those links are full of doom and gloom. But Gromnir maybe you are letting your dislike of Obama, or rather his policies , cloud your judgement on this development ? I noticed that very few of the American members on this forum seem supportive of this initiative. I predicted that as I know the general view of Obama on these forums and thats fine, we are all entitled to our views Now back to the links, yes of course Israel and the Sunni countries in the ME will be opposed to this. The latter are obviously concerned with the domination of any Shia power and I know Netanyahu's views. I don't know how accurate the first link is, I just know I watched several interviews with really qualified people who have been involved in these negotiations and they were all supportive of the terms and what Iran agreed to. We need to accept that the people involved in the talks weren't there just to rubber stamp anything Iran asked for because the intention is to ensure that the agreement does ensure that Iran isn't able to develop a nuclear weapon. So I believe they would have taken this seriously Also lets see the strategic picture in the ME. Iran is still very influencial in the region and there government does consist of hardliners and moderates. The West can understand what the Iranian moderates want and the reality is the sanctions have been very effective at getting Ayatollah Khamenei to at least consider the proposals because we know he dislikes the West. So this was the perfect time to reach an agreement. If the West has refused to negotiate what would that have done for the region...the moderates in Iran would become marginalized as the hardliners would have gained more popular support as they would have used the usual rhetoric " the West wants to destroy us ..down with the USA" and appealed to the pride of the average Iranian. Now you have a victory for the moderate Iranian view. This is a good thing Forget the links, whats your personal issue with this agreement ? has nothing to do with obama dislike or like. and we don't have a personal issue. as we noted, the short term benefits is obvious, but whether you like obama or dislike him, you gotta see the potential future problems, no? the articles we link is hardly the most cynical examples o' dire portents. iran's leaders has offered up rather alarming rhetoric as recent as a few weeks ago, and you not need look hard to find images o' "average iranians" burning USA and Israeli flags as recent as Days ago. again, the goal, s'posed, were to put the kibosh on the iranian nuclear program. that ain't what we got. to make the deal work, the President made a unilateral decision to end the sanctions imposed by Congress, and he had to know that his decision would anger our one actual ally in the middle-east: israel. am not certain how we view this as any kinda a victory o' diplomacy... 'less you are speaking from tehran's perspective. but again, there will be obvious short term benefits and the problems may never become more than hypothetical. however, given the history o' the region, that kinda optimism strikes us as dangerously naive. is not about like or dislike o' obama and am not sure what kinda personal stake you might imagine us having. HA! Good Fun! We had a similar debate before and I'm sure you were critical of some of Obama's foreign policy decisions, like not attacking Syria after the red line was crossed when Assad used chemical weapons. The majority of Republicans are also critical of most of his foreign policy decisions. But my bad if I assumed incorrectly I agree Israel is an ally to the USA but how to deal with Iran is a point of real and fundamental disagreement because Netanyahu wants to use a military option and I can completely understand the objection to that. But I am not ignoring the Israel relationship just because I suddenly like Iran, I know Israel is a real and historical friend for numerous reasons The whole burning of USA flags and anti-USA comments from the Iranian hardliners during the negotiations is appalling but not surprising. I actually have even more respect for Kerry, he had to be subjected to this during the negotiations and that must have annoyed him. The only consolation is thousands of Iranians were celebrating in the streets when they realised an agreement had been reached and they weren't burning USA flags I am of the opinion that people like Kerry could have taken offense to the personal attacks on the USA and had a legitimate reason to stop the negotiations. But you know the way it works, the USA would have still had to get involved if things started getting bad....like when the USA had to return to Iraq to deal with ISIS. So I can also understand the view " lets influence the narrative so there are no surprises " And all I can say is " Well Done USA " for all your efforts ...I wasn't sure we would get this result

From what I can see it is "coup" that is the hashtag trending right now. You see my friend, this is what happens when you don't follow Capitalism and go this hybrid socialist route Greece tried to implement

I don't think I am insulting ...I am more condescending apparently ?

So you think the Arab Spring was an idea that the West created to influence what exactly ? Seriously. use startpage/duckduck or basicly anything that doesn´t get cencored by goodgle and you will be washed with articles on that matter, some as sold before it even started. Lol you really have bought into the loony Antizionist rhetoric wholesale, haven't you? No i don´t care about tribes A zionst is a tribe, it´s just a historic fact and the last 50 years proof this The current Iranian state exists only since 1979; it doesn't really make sense to judge it by the peaceful track record of the one it violently replaced. As for a dictator? Yep, they've got one. As for starting wars, well, for now they seem to prefer to sponsor terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas to do their dirty-work for them. Iran has always stood by Hamas, that is nothing new, but considering that Hamas is originaly(!) a freedom orginisation that went military, (infact military in Iran is not cloriity like in the US) This is a religious,and heritage connection. So? Oh right. Hamas are "trerrorists" according to the US and Israeal, *shrug* i have read enough ti know to question these two. That's what you just can't understand, isn't it? Why the bulk of the Middle Eastern nations aren't worried about the fact that Israel (probably) has the bomb, but when Iran is (probably) getting it they consider themselves genuinely threatened. In order to understand why that is, I'm afraid you would have to challenge some of the preconceptions and propaganda narratives you seem to hold dear. Funny how YOU dare to say i suffer from propaganda while i´m very well aware of the current situation and far more educated in history there. Sorry man, you are an idiot. And it´s not the bulk, it´s Israel and noone else. Egypt has no problem? Oh right..pupet states dont count. Not that it matters it´s done, and if Iran wanted the bomb, they could have allready have it. Again...they never attacked someone in centuries for ****s sake. That should speak for itself, this hatred/isolation against one of the biggest, oldest and most peacfull civilization is idiotic -.- cirdanx there is no need to insult people like Ineth. You need to realize your views do sound quite bizarre to the average person. Stand by what you believe without getting defensive I asked you a question about what you believe would be the reason the West is behind the Arab Spring, I'm not going to look for answers on the Internet. I know the reasons it occurred and it has nothing to do with the West

No it is significant, especially if it is rare in your area ? Well spotted

So you think the Arab Spring was an idea that the West created to influence what exactly ?

Yes I believe in a hybrid system of government like the Scandinavian countries but the large corporations must be run by the private sector

Yeah, given the result of the referendum his actions have been odd to say the least. I'm also a bit cynical that the solution being pressed by the Troika will just result in a Greece unable to pay it's debt(can't draw water from a dry well after all) with state owned property being privatized and Greeks wallowing in real wage stagnation and 20%+ unemployment. The new "contract" is even more of a punishment to people who allready have taken cuts and cuts in the last 10 years. Besides that, this is 50 billions in privatization that is a huge problem. Greece is a port hub, most of their income comes from their ports and tourism. Take that away and there will never be a chance for a recovery. This just begs for a civili uprising in the long run..maybe to get rid of Syriza and then come along with a nice EU goverment and lift some of this? Possible. I would do it that way if i want to get rid of them. I don´t know, he allready has failed anyway. The privatization makes sense, these institutions will still function but they will be run profitably Its always better to let the private sector manage anything that needs to be profitable. Yes it may be seen as something the Greeks are " losing " but it will benefit them in the long term We have a major problem in South Africa where almost all our parastatals run at a loss every year and the government has to pay billions of rand's to keep the afloat So I wish they would get privatized *sigh* the privatization of their assets will not lead to a better economy. Mark my words Bruce, this will be only be interesting for the persons who own them. Which then won´t be the greece goverment, they are selling Greece Islands, property, which i would argue, is historicaly property of the greece people. This is a sell out. And i makes me honestly sad. The idea to let the private sector manage everything is idiotic and easily debunked. Conserding the last 20 years and what that "open" market has dones to us, i will always favour a state controled one, only in the sense that it is more controled (if you are a sovereing country which we arent, thanks EU). You really seem to have a problem with goverment corruption, but i wont´t judge, i can´t, but if you think it will be better when companies take over..than you are ****ing naive and should read some books about your nothern brothers History repeats itself, always. And even if you don´t want to hear it, you have an advantage now, beacuse thanks to be being part of the BRICS, you also have a access to their bank and thus funding. Something that would be not even there in the first place. The chance is here, but of course, it always depends on your politicans/and the voter. But i guess you have a different view Islands ? Are you sure....so they wont function as part of the economy because who would own them ? What is there purpose now I would ask But its not so bad....there is point having islands if your economy has collapsed ?

Considering that the translation is pretty spot on and suggest you are teacher, it´s a pretty good assumption AND was a question, but i guess you can´t answer the rest so you took the easy way out Yes i was right, you are arrogant. Thats ok No point in talking with you then. @ Gromnir and cirdanx My advice is avoid debating with each other ...trust me your personalities are so different neither of you will get each other @ cirdanx I am interested where you say you don't believe in patriotism..and I don't mean blind or extreme patriotism ? I am not getting your reason. Why wouldn't you support your country ?Unless its like some corrupt banana republic? I know you disagree with Austria joining the EU but what about the fact its your home, your culture and the place you live a good life in? What am I missing ? By the way you both live in amazing first world countries that you should feel proud of ....I love my country and believe in contributing and playing my part in the transformation of the economy but you have no idea some of the social challengers we face. I don't deny this but if you guys had our problems then I might understand you being jaded One thing first, i don´t want to hijack the witcher 3 thread with this ****...thats my last answer..direct me to a thread or make a new one Ok, jaded? Yes maybe, but as far as i know you could be one of the higher income people in your country, you certainly have time to be here almost all the time., you even seem to have better connection me Considering the statues of your country, you seem to be pretty well doing. But then, it´s all relative isn´t it? Why should i support my country? I will support it as long as i get something back. This is the idea of a social state, i give something and get something. It works if not corrputed. **** it even works now here despite corrupting spreading (thanks for lowering our laws EU thank you.) But here is the difference. I love my country. I love Austria, and i´m very glad i was born here. And as a history buff i love it even more. But i don´t have some fantasy that this gives me an advantage or better heritage, or that i´m superior to someone...blabla. **** all of that. This is all bull****. I´m not runing around with a flag proclaiming my freedom, my right to speech or any of that, THIS is the difference between Austria and Germany. We know we have it, we enjoy it, we don´t need to remember other that we are there or important. We are just chilled And that can be bad too. Point being..because you seem so..american..give me a weapn..i will defend my home, my friends..but i would never fight a war for politicans not even for austria. i´m not that stupid.and patrioism is stupid, you are fighting for nothing but some politicans. nothing more. in this age you are just fighting for ressources, this even disgusts me more. the typical joke "america goes only to war when its oil" is a joke right? a joke that was paid with so many lives...nope not with me. And i really really despise the american culture in clorifying their "war heroes" aka soliders but when it comes to care for them? They don´t give a ****. Thats hypocritical on a new level. Even the romans knew how to take care of them. *shrug* I rant now. Ignore me Last comment from me in this thread I do have a good job, I work in corporate and I'm a software consultant for a global American company so I get to travel regularly overseas. Things are going well for me as the software I sell and support is popular and I work predominantly in the financial sector for the banks so our customers have money I am being honest because I don't want you to think I am socially disadvantaged in anyway. But that doesnt mean I am not acutely aware of the social problems my country faces or that I am not committed to helping where I can Oh I meant to tell you, I have been fortunate enough to go skiing in Austria. We have been to Seefeld, Kitzbühel and Lech. We ended up going to Lech only as that offered the best skiing and snow . Great country by the way ...best holiday for us is a skiing holiday

I agree 100% with you there. Netanyahu wouldn´t sacrifice his own troops, he would try to trick the US into doing it. It´s not that difficult honstely. The gap between operating a power plant and being able to construct a bomb are huge. Not to mention they have been observed in the past and the new contract gives access to every sight, including secure military bases. I would be, and i am, more worried about Israle who clearly has nuclear bombs (illegaly) and no one does anything about it, despite their history of expansion with military means. Iran? Iran has not fought in an agressive war for hunderts of years, i´m not worried. You see this is where you and I fundamentally disagree. I believe in the principle of a Democracy ....the Arab Spring was about the citizens of various countries wanting more representation and a better quality of life. Some countries made the transition, like Algeria and Tunisia, and some leaders refused to make any concessions like Libya and Syria I don't believe any country belongs to a family or one tribe...Assad should have made the political changes that was asked of him If you believe in the principle of democracy you have no right to intervene in the business of any other country that includes Syria. Yet for the last 50+ years the US have meddled in the affairs in the middle east, the result is, that everything is in ruins. Or NOT? Arab Spring, is considered Saudi/US driven. (it matters not). The result: Syria - "civil" war. Libya - destroyed and hell Yemen - hell in some parts WITH US support for Saudis bombing cities....scum Tunesia - got away with a blue eye but suffers from human traffic Iraq, Algeria, Jordan, even more problems. The rise of IS, so yeah. The Arab spring was a lot of things, but none stood for or made democracy. US intervention is the reason why IS exists in the first place. Well yes the Arab Spring didn't have the desired positive outcome many citizens expected but this is to be expected considering the reality of governments in those countries, the historical precedent in some places and ideological stance. Also the definition of a Democracy is different in the ME to where we live but the Arab Spring still had valid objectives and that doesn't make the idea wrong, citizens of any country have the right to have equal rights and representation..or at least access to economic opportunities You seem to be justifying dictatorships as the norm just because they existed for years or decades in some ME countries ? When have i justifyed a dictatorship? To me, consindering your comments on Syria, Russia, China, etc you don´t even know what a dictatorship is. You clearly don´t know. To bad we have no time machines, a month under Stalin would wake you up Syria is a semi-Repubic with a long lasting ruler house. The people were mostly happy about it. It was a really nice place. Of course, there are always people who are NOT happy with it. But by that logic, lets take a look at Saudi-Arabia.....the number one favourtie of the US next to Israel, famous for its beheadings (they even beat IS don´t they?) a strong monarchy, no democracy and a military state. Israel? They have the biggest open world prison in Gaza and continue to steal land and kill eveyone in the way. Now Syria, under the Assad house has been mostly peaceful in history, any chemical attacks have been debunked by the UN. SO? Where is the thread? Where is the dictator? Same with Iran. Iran has over hundreds of years never fought an aggressiv war, only reacted. (example Iran - Iraq). HUNDRETS OF YEARS. And anyone is really worried that THEY may build an A-bomb (which is a farce) while Israel, who only has war on it´s mind and practice it against neighbours and own citzens all the ****ing time gets a free ticked? Seriously? Has never one read a history book or what. Iran is no danger. I have realized something about our debates. You and I sometimes completely misunderstand each other or make assumptions And thats fine, lets just ask to get clarity. You are misunderstanding something, the people who wanted political changes in places like Syria or Libya had valid reasons. Its doesn't matter how severe the dictatorships were so there is no point saying " well they weren't like Stalin ". The point is the citizens and tribes of those countries wanted political change ..lets not question that There was unrest in Saudi Arabia but the Saudi royal family handled it completely differently. Instead of trying to crush the protests by using the military they dropped $100 million to address the protesters complaints http://persiangulffund.com/saudi-arabia-distributes-130-billion/ A very different way to deal with the Arab Spring so I have no patience or empathy with what happened in Libya and Syria because the situation could have been handled differently Also I travel to the ME for work and I have been to Saudi 4 times for projects. I don't agree with how they view certain SJ issues but they are an ally of the West and we need to respect that and not criticize too much. Change will come but we mustn't force it

What are you worried about? That Republicans if they win the election next year will change the negotiations terms...or something else ?

Yeah, given the result of the referendum his actions have been odd to say the least.

I have no idea how that relates to tipping. Legally we have to provide a safe place for a transgender student to use as a changing/restroom. It does not require a separate facility, but is more an issue of scheduling and access. We haven't had any cases at the middle school level, but at my wife's High School, they simply give the student access to one of the designated staff bathrooms as well as changing after everyone else has headed out. Hurlshot haven't you realized by now sometimes my posts don't make sense unless you ask...like now I am having a separate debate with someone else about how some countries cater for minorities and are very progressive. I remember you mentioning it and I was thinking how far ahead this type of consideration is. We want to get to this point

I agree 100% with you there. Netanyahu wouldn´t sacrifice his own troops, he would try to trick the US into doing it. It´s not that difficult honstely.

Iran has not fought in an agressive war for hunderts of years, i´m not worried. Volo we need to stop seeing this whole Iran issue in black and white,,,there are grey areas What would you prefer ? For the USA to bomb Iran ...maybe send ground troops Israel would need the USA to effectively attack Iran ...and thats not going to happen Never say never, there are always different sides. You can bet the military industry would love a war, thats billions of money for them. Netanjahu would love it, being the extremist he is and he clearly has a lot of leverage in the US, but thank god not as much as he thought, otherwise we might look at a different scenario. Still. This agreement stinks, it´s very hypocritical when it comes to the sanctions that were imposed on Iran in the first place. Assad is a brutal dictator who instead of making political changes that large numbers of his people wanted when the Arab Spring first swept through Syria he resorted to use his army and security forces to brutally crush the political dissension. I cannot understand why you would support him or think he has done nothing wrong ? I don't ever support any dictator who stays in power through military means He is only still in power due to the support from Iran I believe Netanyahu sees this in ideological terms...he only cares for the Jewish state. I can't expect him to see the big picture and frankly that's his issue. The USA and others see the benefits of negotiating with Iran and thats all that matters According to whom? The Assad dynasty has ruled over Syria for some time now...and Syria was a beautiful, ****ING beautiful place If he would have been that dictator that you say he is..how is he still in power? Even after years of war in his country? Don´t you see that this doesn´t make any ****ing sense? Logic my friend. If logic doesn´t match up with the view you get, look for more information. I´m not supporting anyone, but i support that any foreign nation has to stick their nose out of a regional problem (which again is a geo-war and the since the start the US has their dirty fingers in this country) Assad is as much as a dictator as anyone else in that sphere. This is just perfect Hussein/Gadaffi propaganda again isn´t it? THe funny thing is, after so much years of war, he even made a sloppy election, but you would say it was rigged anyway No, i´m very glad Assad is there. If it wouldn´t be for him Syria would be overrrun by ISIL, with havy (and open= support from the Saudis and Israel and the US. No thanks. In the end it doesn´t matter, see i don´t know Assad personaly, nor do you, but he has stayed with his people, got elected again DURING the war (this was even reported on our pro western media...and yes..shock they have elections!!!!!!!!) and has done more for his country than any Obama, btw Syrias history is very interesting. Read it up Assad is no evil. Unless you are sheep who believes the US version, in that case i would suggest you read up what the US does all the time to other countries You see this is where you and I fundamentally disagree. I believe in the principle of a Democracy ....the Arab Spring was about the citizens of various countries wanting more representation and a better quality of life. Some countries made the transition, like Algeria and Tunisia, and some leaders refused to make any concessions like Libya and Syria I don't believe any country belongs to a family or one tribe...Assad should have made the political changes that was asked of him If you believe in the principle of democracy you have no right to intervene in the business of any other country that includes Syria. Yet for the last 50+ years the US have meddled in the affairs in the middle east, the result is, that everything is in ruins. Or NOT? Arab Spring, is considered Saudi/US driven. (it matters not). The result: Syria - "civil" war. Libya - destroyed and hell Yemen - hell in some parts WITH US support for Saudis bombing cities....scum Tunesia - got away with a blue eye but suffers from human traffic Iraq, Algeria, Jordan, even more problems. The rise of IS, so yeah. The Arab spring was a lot of things, but none stood for or made democracy. US intervention is the reason why IS exists in the first place. Well yes the Arab Spring didn't have the desired positive outcome many citizens expected but this is to be expected considering the reality of governments in those countries, the historical precedent in some places and ideological stance. Also the definition of a Democracy is different in the ME to where we live but the Arab Spring still had valid objectives and that doesn't make the idea wrong, citizens of any country have the right to have equal rights and representation..or at least access to economic opportunities You seem to be justifying dictatorships as the norm just because they existed for years or decades in some ME countries ?
