I think the Iranian government should be overthrown, and the whole country annexed by Sweden (virtually anything said by Christian or Islamic extremists would be considered "hate speech" in Sweden).

I am surprised for it says that Iran's is the most sophisticated in the world...

I always think the Chinese one should be.

Or North Korean?

Are North Korean people allowed to use internet?

Or Cuba? Or Venezuela?

Some people in every country say their thing is the most sophisticated people on the planet, at least except those that are humble. Chinese want to be but there are a lot of cracks in their internet defence. I doubt many North Koreans have seen a computer, never mind use one. Cubans probably do browse to a certain extent on foreign stuff. Venezuelans use the internet a lot in Caracas. I know that much. It is one of their few avenues for criticing theit president, Chavez.

I am in love with this idea.

U.N.
"We conquer the Middle East in the name of... Sweeden!"

Iran
"What. The. ****."

How did you know these? :roll:

I know the Chinese one because I have used it before :wink: cracks, thank God!

But now the Chinese government is repairing cracks all the time, I know...

For I cannot even get on wiki in China!

And on some sensitive dates it would be much more horrible..

But according to Iran's claim, it is worse than the Chinese one :oops: :roll: if we can actually believe it...

Oh internet censorship.

There's internet censorship in Australia. France's president has called for closing up the internet to protect people from it. And the US copyright cartels are fighting all they can to ensure that US also begins censoring the internet and destroying its freedom so that they can get away with outdated business models. And less than a year ago the US government showed that they can make Amazon remove sites and ban funding of banks just if they don't like a site (never-mind having to go through trial or the site actually breaking a law).

But let's bash Iran, China and Venezuela as if it was a thing only they do.

It should be more countries, but I don't know...

How many communist regimes have left now?

How many extreme theocratic regimes have left now?

How many totalitarian regimes have left now...

And as you said, how about democratic countries???

Let us check, please.. :roll:

I am so curious! :heart:

The Egyptian people were lucky that those in power in Egypt weren't total homicidal maniacs hellbent on doing anything (including slaughtering their own people) to maintain power.

The one country we should support a rebellion in is Iran, because at least we know the rebels are:
1. Secular
2. A lot more friendly to the rest of the world.
