Its still the same crappy country today...its in iraq and afghanistan. And of course its history will nevefr leave it.

What you could do is learn about the history of where you live instead of being like the typical fool...yay I live in england

i would much appreciate u diss our gov than the actual country

and quit callin me a fool

The government, people and history IS the country.

not in my eyes... but w/e
its ur opinion...

Lol not in your eyes

W/e indeed.

You might as well not hate israel...history doesn't matter, people don't matter...and the governement could always change.

Just saying.

okay Glory.. thats just offensive
just coz i have a different opinion to u doesn't make me a bad person

I never called you bad. I'm simply putting your opinion/logic into use.

anywayz... for me a country is just a geographical region

A country is not a geographical region. A country is an area which represents something. America represents capitalism. England represents imperialism. UK represents modernism. Egypt represents silver, sought after but loses its value

You decide if its bad...as I said I was putting your opinion into use


Yeah I know. Uneducated people think its land too. But as an educated person like yourself you should know that its more than land.

Sorry I wanted to talk to an educated person. Not to a routiish/technical website.

they all change but the country stays the same...


also.. with that def, anything could be a country..

They are the country. No one gives a crap about the land.

When a person compares the world power-USA to a small country-Nigeria, they don't care about the land. But they care about the history, gov and people.

Egypt was still Egypt when Pharaohs ruled, when Christians ruled, when Arabs ruled and when Mubarak ruled (and still does)
its was still Egypt despite the fact that the government, the history and the ppl kept changing..

Yeah, and? So what's your point?

Realte it to the post where you said that only governements matter.

Unless if you mean you are proud of the name "England"...

so ur def is wrong

and i never said only the government matters lol
u guyz were blaming England for its history... blame the INDIVIDUALS who caused it NOT the PEOPLE or England or w/e u were blamin...

Egypt maybe, but Germany, France, Prussia, Russia, Soviet Union, etc. Hasn't been. That's the truth. A country is a political boundary and politics always are part of it.

Germany was still Germany when Nazis took over... Germany is still Germany now without the Nazis..

also... according to ur def, Egypt ain't a country...
niice..

Wtf are you saying Marwa? You lost me.

What definition are you talking about?

Yes you do judge countries based on history not just gov.

you said...

That doesn't mean anything.

No one gives a crap about the name and land. We, as people, just decided to name places so its easier to refer to groups of people.

What is important however is Egypts history and how the people were and are.

LOL! of course name doesn't matter..
they each called Egypt a different name... but we were still referring back to the same thing...
