You're correct we elected an idiot president, but the more protests world wide, the better..! We are a nation that supportds freedom, and should do what we say and help in any way we can, for the protesters to overthrow the government.

screw that. every single time we get involved with the politics of another country, it comes back to bite us in the butt.

At least they were taking action and standing up for something. What have you stood up for lately?

Protesting is not the same as the USG getting involved.

thATS NOT 100% TRUE, ONLY IF IT SUITS ONES INTEREST! no matter how much rhetoric this country say we have always been a champ pf freedom i can look back at our history, and while we were helping others obtain freedom from dictatorships we didnt support we had citizens living in hell who were being dictated across the US statewide, local, and nationally BUT THAT WAS OKAY?

what have I stood up for lately? um, you mean in regards to iran? nothing, nor will I ever. protesters are a joke. what are they protesting? do they think the election was rigged? did the 50th hand account from the BBC tell them so?

Why do you argue against something you know so little about?

That is typical of many Americans

one thing i like about other countries esp EU is that they are not afraid to rebel against their govermentS. we are! this is why many of our politicians get away with and do so much deceit sure they may get caught but some dont and those of who do get caught dont do any jail-time because they know so and so.


another thing i notice is that when there's protest against someone the US is aligned or close with politically the protestors then become called rioters, disrupters, terrorist. when its against someone the US hates then they are rebellions

**** dont make sense
