You could always create another one. Or create an actual website that they wouldn't be able to delete. Ideas, ideas....Well my group just somehow got deleted or something so it doesn't matter anyways

Twitter's blocked, so that's out.
What do you guys want? I am really curious.
Yeah i think its going to get pretty bad. There was a place here close to where i live which i was told that there might be a gathering for protest in, when i went there and even while there weren't anybody there was already like 11 of the big cars (i don't know what to call them) who carry those security guys (and it was loaded with them of course) and there was a firetruck, and some normal police cars, or patrol cars. They hanged around for a while and then left.
All this when there wasn't actually anything happening at all. It does seem like the government is going to come down pretty hard, which is very stupid, considering the circumstances.

Were those big cars armoured vehicles or more like small trucks?
I think they want to show people that they are there, and if anyone even considers doing anything, they will bring those forces in.
And yeah, I think they will come down hard. Doesn't seem like they know any other way to handle the situation, and short of Mubarak resigning, there might not be.
They were armored vehicles. Very big ones.
Its pretty sad that they are resorting to this, as i don't think people are going to back down, and rightly so, so it will get ugly. But i guess we should've expected this, i mean one of our main complaints already was the corruption within the law enforcement, so its no surprise.

I know this is coming all out of context and sounds stupid. I apologize if it offends anyone or is not in sync with the way this thread has been going. But I'm curious, I thought Egyptians were against democracy or at least that is what I have heard in the past from some Egyptians. I assume not every Egyptian agrees or disagrees with this blunt generalization I made. But I was wondering if this is something to do with religion or politics in general. What does democracy mean to the Egyptians and people of Tunisia?
Any input would be great.

So far i've had a PM from Sahar and Badran,they are both OK but expect more protests

Mr
Can you give more specific examples of the grievances the protesters have with the Mubarak government?Badran said:
Aside from people having enough from 30 years of rule by Mubarak, and wanting to make sure that his son doesn't take charge after him, people want better job opportunities or job opportunities for more people in other words. They want an end to the appliance of the emergency law, the prices to be dealt with.
Other things i heard is that also due to the corruption i mentioned in the law enforcement, people want the minister of interior out of his job. Those are basically the demands i've heard, there are however many other problems.
What do the protesters want? Can anybody say? A protest is worthless if it is not defined.
I did hear on CNN and Fox this morning that Obama thought it would be a good time for the promised human rights be implemented in Egypt. I do not know what this means.
What does this mean to the people of Egypt? That is the real question.
