I'm not sure why you're trying so hard, well, OK, actually I know why, but really, the ignorance here is absolutely bottomless and the knee-jerk bias is endless. There are far more rewarding places to hang out on the Internet.
I can honestly say I've never been more disappointed with a place anywhere on the world wide web than I have been with this place. I didn't actually realize just how bad it was until this Egyptian situation erupted and the threads on the subject started to pop up.
Even the best posts here fall below anything I find on other places I hang out regularly. I don't know where these people come from, I don't know how they can manage to be so ignorant of even the most trivially basic things about the Middle East considering how deeply involved the US has been in that region for so long, I don't even know how it's possible given the amount of time these people evidently spend surfing the Internet for the crap they post, but their ignorance is, bluntly, inexcusable.
You're wasting your time.
