yea maybe some things are out of our hands but it shouldn't make us get to a point when we give up lots of our rights
some things can get out of our hands to some extent but they shouldnt get completely out of our hands right?

BTW I saw the title and I'd like to ask something. Before I met some arabic friends here, I thought there was only one arabic language and all the arabs understand each other, but then the Lebanese told me that he didn't understand the arabic of the algerians at all. There are different dialects but are they all that different and where is the pure arabic spoken, in Egypt?

Well,we cann't say really there is a country which do speak pure arabic,or formal arabic.
Each country from all the arabic spoken countries speak the arabic language on its own way,with its accent.
And its not easy for us to understand each other specially if they talk fast,you come to think its another foreigin language or something !
But mostly,they all understand our Egyptian Arabic very well,for many reasons,
Lots of Egyptians went and worked in all the Arab countries for many years,as teachers,so they were talking with our accent ofcourse.
Lots of people from other arab countr'es come and study at our Universities.
Our movies,series,actors,actress are well known there,so is our singers too.
Singers from other countries sang,and sing using our accent too.
So its very easy for them to understand ours.
But,when we write,we all write using same way,pure arabic,or formal arabic as we should write,and we all understand what ever anyone from any country write.
because we all use same formal language.

the formal arabic is not "spoken" anywhere, each country has it's own accent as canli said, but we use formal arabic for formal procedures and also maybe sometimes at universities, formal speaches...etc.
but in the streets if u speak formal ppl might laugh at u
