As a tourist, in Egypt, you will be very safe -- except from hordes of desperate hawkers trying to make a little money off you..

Egypt Travel Warning: State Department Warns Americans To Leave

Here's an idea.

Let's send Australia a contingent of our black thugs, keep guns away from them and see what happens!

Call it a social experiment.

It is very revealing you chose to specify black thugs.

Why would any sensible person believe anything the US State Department said -- without corroborating evidence?

What other demographic does that shoe fit?

Kind of like saying cigarettes don't cause lung cancer

Which networks or publications or online entities do you trust? I personally haven't heard of any reporter from any news source who thinks Egypt is stable and a great place for a picnic right about now. Brochures from the Egyptian tourist board don't count.
On the other hand, if your hobby is watching Coptic Christian churches burning down...

Good point. Secretary of State John Kerry is a damn liar.

Wow, that betrays a level of stupidity that I thought impossible to attain. Congratulations.

And your comment betrays a naiveté which, unfortunately, I find all too often attained in the brainwashed USA.

Anyone who does not understand that the student-published trash mentioned here is mere propaganda, whose primary purpose is to add credits to a future resumé, is someone who does not understand the mechanics of "higher education" in our corrupt age -- especially at the "ivy league" schools which manufacture our "leaders". And especially degraded and corrupted are Harvard and Yale, which have lost all respect for academic probity.

For example, both of them gave higher academic degrees to George W. Bush, of all people!!

Like most progressives, you see intelligence as a function of politics. The more progressive a person is, the more intelligent he is.

Such is not the case. Look at you, for example.

There are studies that disagree with you.

Analyses of large representative samples, from both the United States and the United Kingdom, confirm this prediction. In both countries, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children. For example, among the American sample, those who identify themselves as “very liberal” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 106.4, whereas those who identify themselves as “very conservative” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 94.8.

if liberals are more intelligent then conservatives why do they consistently make such bad decisions?

Maybe they aren't necessarily bad decisions.
Maybe it's just that you can't understand them because you're a low-intelligence conservative...science tells us this is true.
