[VIDEO] Warning Graphic: Syrian Rebel Being Buried Alive At Gunpoint
There’s really not much to say about this other than the Syrian regime is out of control. This isn’t something new, but it is something that has been ignored for far too long. Why is it we choose to step up and help those in need, but only in countries were we can gain something? If we really do believe in helping humanity, then we should have forces here in Syria, Darfur and many other places. But, sadly we aren’t a nation that cares about humanity, we’re a nation whose primary concern is financial gain and staying in power. Watching a man be buried alive is sickening. And to think, this is just one man the regime has killed.

[VIDEO] ‘The Protester’ is Time’s ‘Person of the Year’
On NBC’s Today Show, Time announced their ‘Person of the Year‘ for 2011 and it is a huge win for the 99%: The Protester. Even the general who ordered the Bin Laden raid was beat out, which is pretty damn shocking.
The magazine cited dissent across the Middle East that spread to Europe and the U.S., and said these protesters are reshaping global politics.
There were many people considered for this award, some of whom are: Admiral William H. McRaven who organized the raid on Bin laden, Chinese conceptual artist Ali Wei Wei, Wisconsin Rep Paul Ryan and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton.
This is definitely a time when the newer generation is standing up and being recognized as people who are actually able to make change. Last year, Mark Zuckerburg, founder and CEO of FaceBook, received the award. This just shows yet another young person who has had an impact on all of society, not just peers of his own age.
