<p>^^I’m actually kinda surprised. The thread got deleted but no one got modded.</p>
<p>^But Halloween is right around the corner!</p>
<p>Some girl on the UF forum kept saying that “holistic review” just meant Affirmative Action and that it’s unfair that minorities got in with lower test scores and that this was SO obvious from the UF decision thread, and I was unintelligent and offensive for thinking otherwise.</p>

<p>egypt is free, Southern sudan will become a nation. We have discovered the basis of the cancer gene.
2011 may just be the year for dancing in the streets.</p>
<p>Hold it, we’re only 1.5 months in. **** always happens.</p>
<p>1.5 months in actually</p>
<p>You are correct, I didn’t really think.</p>
<p>But my point is stronger for that, thanks.</p>
<p>Egypt is about to encounter more turmoils.</p>
<p>No step down like that can go peacefully.
Power vacuum time.</p>
<p>The new Egyptian government probably won’t suck up to the US, and should break the siege of Gaza. Awesome.</p>
<p>Which is absolutely great.</p>
<p>Because we all know… that area is a mess of human rights violations.</p>
<p>
The thread starter did. Didn’t stop him from coming back with a new name and restarting it, though</p>
<p>
Breaking the Israeli siege is step 1.</p>
<p>^ Precisely.</p>
<p>Next… US has to stop acting like it’s blind, at least in my opinion.</p>
<p>It’s only selectively blind. </p>
<p>“Iraqis are oppressed!”
“True, but what about the Palestinians? We’re backing Israel on that.”
“Palewhoians?”</p>
<p>Valentine’s day sucked for me. My LA and Math grades’s dropped 10 points…</p>

.I refuse to be pessimistic. I believe the egyptians have the intellectual prowess and organizational skills to create a new democratic government. sure, it will be difficult and transitions to democracy are never easy but i believe that we will see the dawn of a new arab democracy as strong as indonesia’s. And once again, my Current Events article at the end of 2011 will have more democracies present in the world than dictatorships. I’m throwing a party. this portends good things to come.</p>
<p>It’s the cycle of power transfer.
That sort of political dominance… it can’t disappear without some major repercussions.</p>
<p>I disagree, but then I guess it depends on your definition of major repercussions.</p>
<p>okay, I yield to my ignorance-- how do you quote previous posts ?</p>

<p>Can you show me an example of a peaceful, radical change?</p>
