Boyzone - Words should be amongst the greatest 50 songs



Words by Boyzone is one of the my favorite songs. Throughout the song the artists maintain a very slow tone. However in the chorus, the artists lift up the tone making it fast and loud, but again they end the chorus with a slow sad tone. The sadness and depression of the tone of this song makes listeners addicted to it. It causes the listener to feel sad thus arousing a strong emotional feeling. This song is one of my favorite as it helps keep my mood up when I am depressed and gloomy.

Fury at Soccer Game Deaths in Egypt Drives New Clashes


Date Published: February 2, 2012
Date Accessed: February 3, 2012

Several soccer fans in Egypt battled with the police in a protest on the government's failure to   prevent dozens of soccer players death in a soccer riot in Port Said. All throughout Egypt people were injured by bird shots, ammunition fire, tear gas and stampedes. The fan also projected their fury against the supporters of the Said Club who attacked a visiting Cairo Club. These fans are known as Ultras. However this battle eventually led into protest against a common enemy, the Inner Ministry. Rumors spread that the police abetted the weapons into the stadium. But there is no proof to confirm it. The people started blaming the police of several things like lack of negligence to search the fans, allowing the Said fans to enter but no the Cairo fans and switching of the lights to provide cover to the Said fans.About 70 people have died. The protestors are condemning the interior ministry saying that they wanted to hurt the Cairo fans for their role in the protests against the government. Egypt's newly elected parliament has started investigation in the Interior Ministry's role in this matter.

The Egypt government had gone through a transitional state from the end of monarchy to a new parliamentary government. Throughout history we have seen several cases where people are fighting against themselves and end up fighting against a common enemy. The American Civil War is one such example. The Blacks and the whites were in constant fights against each other. However when the nation was torn apart into the Union and the Confederacy. The Union would have lost the Civil War had not the Blacks and Whites combined forces to fight against the Confederacy. It was through their collaborative efforts that the Union won. Thus even though they were enemies, in the time of crisis they fought together. Similarly in Egypt even though the supporters of the Cairo and Said clubs were fighting against each other, in the end they started protesting against common enemy Inner Ministry.
