Re: Jordanian MP pulls gun on activist during debate
It appears to be a revolver. In his slight defense, he did put it away. Still, this does show the maturity of these people in power, if not the country's.
I do not envy the TV host's job in the situation. Here he is, stuck between two angry men who do not want to shut up.

Re: Jordanian MP pulls gun on activist during debate
As much as I dislike western politicians at least you do not see stuff like this in the west.
Arab elite are extreme egoistical bastards who have not gotten over the idea that the middle ages over. They practically think of themselves as lords over the poor serfs (average citizenry). Getting power trips from bullying the weak and running from the strong (foreigners) is what they do.

Re: Jordanian MP pulls gun on activist during debate
There is a difference. For starters, this guy didn't just bring one, he TOOK IT OUT and POINTED IT. Granted, it was in a heated moment, but that is enough I believe to be take as a serious threat against his life.Doesn't seem all that different from Teabaggers bringing guns to political rallies, really.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

That was some random basement-dweller whose political views are less "hardcore Objectivism" and more "paranoid schizophrenia".

Re: Jordanian MP pulls gun on activist during debate
Check the smily. I was jesting. Holding a political view such as Objectivism does not make one mentally ill. It is fair to be one even though many people oppose or ridicule it's principles. But being a hardcore proponent of objectivism does create a self centered world view of me vs everyone that reminds me of the troubles genuine suffering schizophrenics go through.
