(Reuters) - Millions of Egyptians flooded into the streets on the first anniversary of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi's inauguration on Sunday to demand that he resign in the biggest challenge so far to rule by his Muslim Brotherhood.

Waving national flags and chanting "Get out!", a crowd of nearly 500,000 massed in and around Cairo's central Tahrir Square in by far the largest demonstration since the 2011 uprising that overthrew Mursi's predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.

They had one in 2011 that was larger...

That is ignoring the fact that I doubt this is the largest ever...

As the worlds population grows and things continue tp suck, we are sure to see that statement again. Egypts total pop iswhat, 30 million (total guess)? And 15 million were in the streets (again, a guess, but close, according to reports?) Cool, but if a protest of that magnitude happened here in the US and half the pop took to the streets, it would number over 150 million. But of course, we are too apathetic for that too happen.

Well, since I can't argue against the point that the world is getting worse, I think that feeling a disturbance in the Force could mean just about anything. In fact, I would be worried if you didn't feel it.

Truly a time of seers and revelators I see. Its as fun as any game we play here I guess. I'm going with we all planet wide use the net to find a lowest common social denominator and couple it with an insulated world view that ends war and hunger as a byproduct of the population in geral growing gardens and playing games while .0000000001 of the population play number games between themselves to hold onto money no-one uses anymore.

There may be something ...

yes it did

In regard to the protest, I don't believe the first protest, as Akkarin mentioned, was a widely televised. In the case of synchronous RNG events, it could be that a larger number of people within the world simply paid the situation more attention.

Either way, people around the world have been focused on the outcome of this event. That much focus could affect REG technology, based on McTaggart's review.

Just a thought.

There is a disturbance in the Force but I don't see what peoples protest to politics has to do with it? Many of our "problems" are superfluous to the Force since they were nonexistent for most of the planets history and would only threaten our(one) culture and not the race its self. Why would the Force fluctuate over such things?

The economy wont create a disturbance, how ever a murder might. One murder by its self would affect only those that know about it. Many murders leave a big gap of life where ever they occur. Life cant have an empty space, if something can live in an empty space life will find a way to fill it. That's the feeling you have. There are big gaps of life being created every day and you're drawn to it.

Now if you want a disturbance, well we all KNOW what those are! Don't look at me like that you KNOW whats wrong! No ones going to blame you for letting it get this bad but why haven't you done anything about it yet? The Force is trying to draw your attention to it. Yet you turn your head. Why?

There are a lot of things that have been disturbing the Force, any and almost all actions have led to very few solutions. Some would suggest that we take a scientific look at it but there has been very little science done on such subjects. Why? because people don't look very hard for things they DON'T want to find. That's why many of you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Well I'm talking about ALL OF IT. Any terrible thing you can add to a list is what I'm talking about and that's what the Disturbance in Force is. Some might say that they don't feel a thing. You might not because over the past ten thousand years we've gotten really good at ignoring such things so it might take a few more years. Over time less and less will be able to ignore this disturbance. I'm very aggressive about this subject because we're running out of time to do something about it. :dry:

Sorry about the rant. :whistle:

No, don't be sorry -- go ahead and rant. It is rant-worthy. Just don't try and make a crusade about it. Current human psychology tunes those messages out too, even when they are essentially good ones.

It is as I have told you before, things do change when the balance gets upset. But it cannot resemble so thoroughly what history shows us because times are different, information is more rapid - so is dishonesty. There are many more people living today, making the 'critical mass' needed to tip that balance also more 'massive' (meaning : it requires more suffering to produce change). As it were, there is even the suffering we do not feel outright. What of that ?

There has been a "disturbance in the Force" ever since thought evolved in living things wherever in the Universe they live. Thereby, it is in the nature of the Force to fluctuate in ways which we find disturbing ... The duality, the judgement is in us, not in the Force.

We cannot change the World. It would be irresponsible of us to try (Tao Te Ching 29). Sometimes making no contribution to History is the best contribution we can make. Only by tolerating the misunderstandings in the World can understanding be attained. Thus :

Tao Te Ching 36 :

If you want to shrink something,
you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,
you must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,
you must first allow it to be given.
This is called the subtle perception
of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard.
The slow overcomes the fast.
Let your workings remain a mystery.
Just show people the results.

Teach what you can, softly and mildly ; do not try and force your message. Do not resist even resistance. The Force governs the galaxies, not our opinions of what goes on in them. We are sworn to alleviate suffering in the measure that we can, not to free the oppressed nor to topple tyrannies. Should be be passionate about doing what we think is right, then that also slides toward the Dark Side ...

Not really sure what Daniel's rant was on, lol... (Just teasing you Daniel)

But going on the topic, who says the disturbance is bad?

If life is sailing along, on an even keel, many thing in a positive manner bring disturanbce...

Moving to a new location, a job promotion, having a child born...

Of course, they could be bad...MAybe I have to move back in with parents because of a divorce, Maybe the promotion earns me more money, but jealousy from co-workers, maybe the child born was from a rendezvous with an ex for a week or two....

Really, the disturbance is change in the flow, or at least how we think it should go...

In which case, we are trying to predict the future...

And, this will bring issues...
