It seems like we are entering a Global Srping.

There are currently significant protest movements in the United States (occupy Wall Street) Quebeck, Colombia, Puerto Rico(U.S also), Republica Dominicana, Chile, Yemen, Syria.

Europe also has various protest movements in Spain and Greece and even England and Italy.

There is no doubt in my mind that many of this protests will grown an spread. Maybe we will see protests in places such as Cuba or China... who knows???

Well, I would like to see this kinda thing spread to China. They need it more than Britain does, I guess.

Although the Occupy [Place] are more to do with changing the system than overthrowing it.

Speaking of China they are actually using the OWS movement to slander America.

[up][up]

Maybe they could protest without wanting to overthrow the goverment...

I dont think China should adopt a purely democratic system but maybe they could allow certain protests. They did allow some degree of discontent after the milk incident do not much.

[up] Who the Chinese? Well it their way of saying "ha! you guys are opresive too! We knew it" except for the "too" part.

Actually Russian media and Chinese Media report OWS bettter than American media (in the same way American media would report better protests in said countries when compared to the native news outlets)

One could also make a claim that it is autumn, if he felt depressive.

When your (generic you) defence against the comments the leadership of China and Iran is along the lines "But you're more oppressive than us" they are right.
