				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The biggest problem of the living beings is that we always need a path, we will need someone to till us the difference between the right and the wrong, we need someone who would resolve all our disputes, someone whose responsibility it becomes to maintain peace between us; in a nutshell we always need a leader, a mentor or a guide. If you want to form a group, the first thing which you need to figure out is who will serve as the leader of the group, who will be their guide and who will serve as the leader.</p>
<p>The minorities have always faced problem in a nation or country but no one has had the courage to speak up and to take a stand, and when that no one becomes someone, a spark breaks out which turns into the flame and then lighten up the entire nation. The problems have always existed among the minority but that flame was never ignited because no one had the gallantry to lighten up the entire nations. The thing is that there is always a way to shine even in the darkest hours of night only if someone remembers to switch one the lamp.</p>
<p>Earlier there were kings or emperors who served as the leaders of the nation but today there are groups of people who run the state; they are known as the government. There are five main kinds of government. First is the monarchy; in this kind of government the whole power belongs to the king or queen. Second is the dictatorship; in this form the entire power belongs to a person or a group of people. Third is the aristocracy; this is form in which the state is run by the wealthy people and the power belongs to them. The fourth one is the republic in which the people themselves select their leader or representative, who would fulfill their needs and demands. The fifth and the best form of government is the democratic form of government; the best known definition of a democratic government is “the government of the people, from the people and for the people”.</p>
<p>Today in this modern world; when human rights are given such vital importance, there are many countries which do not enjoy the democratic form of government. Among those pernicious and<strong> non democratic countries the top 10 are</strong>:</p>
<p><b>10. LIBYA:</b></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/history/top-10-non-democratic-countries-in-world/attachment/libya/" rel="attachment wp-att-21593"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21593" title="libya" alt="libya Top 10 Non Democratic Countries in World" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/libya.jpg" width="460" height="276" /></a></p>
<p>There is no permanent bases government in Libya as the country has been going under the mercy of translational government. It is also said that the country runs under the military dictatorship, some say that Libya is an authoritarian state and it is run under the impact of the wealthy people; it doesn’t matter because what matters is that Libya does not enjoys democracy . Libya liberated itself from Italy in December 1951. There are many political parties in Libya but none of them has been able to form a stable and permanent government yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>9. IRAQ:</b></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/history/top-10-non-democratic-countries-in-world/attachment/iraq-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-21595"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21595" title="iraq" alt="iraq4 Top 10 Non Democratic Countries in World" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/iraq4.jpg" width="400" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>Earlier the form of government exercised by the state of Iraq was the dictatorship form of government; the dictator was Saddam Hussein, who was hanged to death few years ago. Iraq has also been through the deadly nightmare which is known as War. After that Iraq has had no governmental system and has been living on bits and pieces; Also that some kind of civil war has been going on in the state. These days plan are in process to introduce a new form of government in Iraq which would be according to the demands of the citizen and would be able to fulfill their desires.</p>
<p><b>8. CUBA:</b></p>

<p>This country is a Communist State; it is the form in which all the power belongs to only one group or the wealthy people of the state. They control the income and economical growth of the country. They can make the decisions which will solely benefit them, not the estate. The human rights violation is very common in Cuba; human are nothing but the slaves of the Aristocrats.</p>

Sung started his own party with the support of some other workers; the party is known as KWP (Korean worker’s party).

<p><b>4. TURKMENISTAN:   </b></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/history/top-10-non-democratic-countries-in-world/attachment/turkmenistan-7/" rel="attachment wp-att-21611"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21611" alt="Turkmenistan5 Top 10 Non Democratic Countries in World" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Turkmenistan5.jpg" width="360" height="270" title="Top 10 Non Democratic Countries in World" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a person is in trouble, all the others try their level best<strong> </strong>to help him. Similarly when a country is in financial and economical dept or becomes a victim of a natural disaster, the other countries do everything within their power to enable the country to stand on its feet again. One way of helping the country is by providing money, so that the nation can once again become capable of embellishment.The concept of this Foreign aid was introduced during the period of World War 2. Basically it was an aid given to the Western Europe and then Japan too, so that they could overcome the cataclysm.   Today this aid is given to those unfortunate and feeble countries, whose resources are not sufficient enough to fulfill the needs and demands of its citizens or those political situation is not stable. The countries which serve as the foreign aid donors are The United states of America, Japan, Germany, France, United Kingdom, etc.</p>
<p>There are many countries who procure foreign aid. According to the statics of the year 2010, the top ten countries are mentioned below. The Aid for many countries has been increased during the span of two years.</p>

This country has potential to get back on the track but the government is corrupt to the backbone.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can hear people shouting, banners everywhere, politicians asking for your votes through pamphlets, speeches, personal plea and what not. So you know its election time. But do you take it as seriously as it should be taken? Or it is just another holiday for you to enjoy at home? Think twice. Let us help you do so. Here we are listing why you must vote. Let’s have a look why you should not just enjoy your holiday and must cast your precious vote:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">10. Because you can</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vote-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19018" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vote-1-300x251.jpg" alt="vote 1 300x251 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="251" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>One of the very obvious but important reasons why you should vote is because you can vote. You have been provided by the privilege/right/duty to vote. So, you must ensure yourself practice the same by voting your representatives. Many parts of the world still face dictatorship, living under the rule of one dictator and when you are living in a democratic country, and been provided with the advantage of choosing your leaders you should respect that. So you must vote and choose your government because you can, because you should.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">9. Every vote counts</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/your_vote_counts_button_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19019" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/your_vote_counts_button_3-300x266.jpg" alt="your vote counts button 3 300x266 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="266" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>Do you think that your vote rarely matters and that there are enough people in the country to vote? If yes, then you are absolutely wrong. In a country with such population, if everyone starts thinking this way, can you imagine where the country will head to? Every vote counts. Everyone’s vote matters. If everybody thinks that it would not matter if their vote is not there, the polling booths will be empty. You must go and cast your vote to avoid this shameful situation.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">8. Get your voices heard</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/hearme.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19020" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/hearme-300x221.jpg" alt="hearme 300x221 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="221" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>You are the voice of the nation. Get yourself heard. And the way to get you get heard is voting. Vote for the right form of government so that you can go to them and ask for your rights and your needs. The government manages the country and hence you. You have chosen them and they are accountable to you for whatever they do. So to exercise the right to government’s accountability and get your voices reach to them, choose your government  by voting them rationally.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">7. Set an Example for future generation</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/pd_mom_talking_teen_080303_ms.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19021" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/pd_mom_talking_teen_080303_ms-300x225.jpg" alt="pd mom talking teen 080303 ms 300x225 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="225" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>They learn what they see. Yes, we are talking about the younger generation. Whatever you do they imitate, whether it is good or bad. So set rational examples for your younger generation. Cast your votes and encourage them to vote once they are eligible. Tell them why they should vote and the consequences of not voting in the elections. Teach them about their responsibility towards their country. Illustrate them how they are affected by the kind of government in power and their accountability for the same so that they understand the importance of voting.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">6. Decide who spends you money and how</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Spending.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19022" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Spending.jpg" alt="Spending Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="288" height="288" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>How does a government works? We know that the government spends for the welfare of the nation, issues funds for various activities. But from where does this fund arise? Of course not their own pockets. It’s your hard earned money that they spend. You earn and pay a certain amount of the earnings as tax, which is paid for the welfare and development of the country. So doesn’t it matter to you where is money is being spent? Doesn’t it matter if it is being spent wisely or not? If not, it should. Don’t you ask your children where they are spending the money given to them? The government is also spending your money so you should keep a track how the money is being spent. Vote and ensure a better government who can spend your money wisely.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">5. Your job, health and education</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/him_ch12.gif"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19028" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/him_ch12-220x300.gif" alt="him ch12 220x300 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="220" height="300" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The government decides the figures for the very important aspects of your life. Be it food, shelter, education, health or anything. The government decides how much you will pay for your commodities, how much you will get for your job, and it affects your education as well. So, will you let any lame person handle all this? The government is for the nation and you are your nation. So, appoint your government to ensure a better ambiance. A better government is a sign of progress for and of the country and its people, as it ensures better heath, a better literacy level, a better job resulting in fine earnings. And this government can only be elected by you. Cast your vote and ensure a better government to develop a nation, a society of your dreams.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4. Choose your representative</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/leader5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19024" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/leader5-300x236.jpg" alt="leader5 300x236 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="236" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>Vote for the one who according to you is suitable for your society. Think rationally and vote your representative. If you do not cast your vote and blame the government for mismanagement, it’s not acceptable at all. If you did not cast your vote when you were asked to then you have no right to blame the government for anything. If you did not exercise your right, did not fulfil you duties, then how could you expect the government to do so? So, save yourself from the situation and be accountable to yourself. Cast your vote to ensure a better government resulting in a better society.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3. Duty</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/voting-people.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19025" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/voting-people-300x300.jpg" alt="voting people 300x300 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="300" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>When there is right, there is duty as well. As they say “with power comes responsibility”. So, if have the power you must fulfil your responsibility as well. It is your duty toward your nation to choose the right representative of you and the suitable worker for the country. And this you must do with complete interest and rational judging. Do not vote just because you have to vote, vote because you know your duties. Vote the best leader according to your judgement.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2. Exercise your Right</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ArticleHeader-VotingRights.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19026" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ArticleHeader-VotingRights-300x168.jpg" alt="ArticleHeader VotingRights 300x168 Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="168" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>Vote because you have the right to do so. You are living in a country where you are given the privilege to choose your own leader and political parties to form the government of your choice. Do not let your rights flow through the drains. If you have got a right, you must ensure to get it. Living in the country you must be exercising other rights such as right to information, right to education, right to practice your own religion etc. Then why not this. This is one of your fundamental rights, so you must go and cast your vote during the elections and exercise your right to vote.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1. Democracy</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Democracy.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19027" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Democracy-300x248.jpeg" alt=" Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" width="300" height="248" title="Top 10 Reasons why you must Vote" /></a></p>
<p>Well. Democracy indeed is the topmost reason an individual should vote because voting is a part of Democracy. You cannot establish democracy in a country or state without voting your candidates for the formation of the government. Democracy is a form of government where people themselves choose who will manage their country or state. And to choose the people or group of people taking the charge, voting is the only solution. So, if you agree with democratic system of government,you must go and cast your vote.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Manmohan Singh Kohli is the Prime Minister of Independent India. He was Finance minister in Indian Government in 1991. He was considered as the key person in the development of Indian economy by introducing sturdy reforms in Economy Sector. These are just few lines about Finance Minister Manmohan Singh, but when it comes to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, many questions arises on his leadership. <span style="background-color: #ffffff;">He did&#8217;t do well to attained the success of prime minister.</span> The recent scams are enough to show that his cabinet is full of corrupted people. not only the scams list but the overall government performance has shown inability to perform for the welfare and development of the people.</p>
<p>Here is the list of top 10 reasons why Manmohan Singh is not a good prime minister :</p>
<p><strong>10. Under Achiever</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/underachiever-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16192" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/underachiever-image.jpg" alt="underachiever image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="280" height="180" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>When Manmohan Singh got the Chair of PM, everyone had lots of Expectations from him. Peoples were seeking for few more reforms which will propel the Indian economy on the right track. Unlike the huge fall in the Indian GDP and rise in the Inflation made many questions on his work.  India Today published one issue of their magazine showing Manmohan Singh with &#8216;Under Achiever &#8217;. His lack of decision taking skills made his image diminished in the worldwide.</p>
<p><strong>9. Lack of Decision Taking</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/decisionmaking-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16193" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/decisionmaking-image.jpg" alt="decisionmaking image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="267" height="189" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Lack of decision taking character is also a very big allegations that has always been made on Manmohan Singh. He was always criticized for the inability to take his own decisions. Many times he is said a efficient economist with very poor leadership skills. Opposition and media also made allegations that he is not as much effective as the head of the government. He had never taken decision from his point of view as a leader of nation who works for the development of nation, rather then he take all decisions under the pressure of his party members.</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong> <strong>Silent</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/silent-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16194" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/silent-image.jpg" alt="silent image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="270" height="187" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Silence is more powerful then thousands voice. But the phrase seems to be odd for Manmohan Singh. He is also criticized for not speaking on the current burning issues in the country. He always tried to remain away from the main issues and not spoken that much, public was expecting from their Prime Minister.</p>
<p><strong>7. Dull Attitude</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dullattitude-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16195" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dullattitude-image.jpg" alt="dullattitude image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="259" height="194" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Prime Minister of India is strongest and most powerful position in the Indian democracy. The Person sitting on this chair is supposed to be the one with the attitude to do justice with these powers. Manmohan Singh is considered as very less impact PM. Dull Attitude is another very negative point about his personality. This attitude creates a different image of him, a image which shows me helpless and Dull Prime Minister. He announced pubically that a Joint Parliamentary Committee will be set up to investigate 2G scam, but all his wording has done nothing rather than wasting time and money of poor people.</p>
<p><strong>6. Corruption</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/corruption-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16196" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/corruption-image.jpg" alt="corruption image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="275" height="183" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Manmohan Singh led two successive UPA governments, UPA-II comes out to be the most corrupt government ever, Adarsh Society Scam, 2G Scam, Common Wealth Games Scam and many more. Manmohan Singh is found to be the main convict of the Coal gate Scam, the biggest Scam in the history of India, this thing also makes a question on his leadership and also the way his government and his cabinet ministers looted the Indian Resources creates a very big question for him. He failed to explained that how he handles the situation of all scandals. Had it been a strong government, it would have definitely taken a strong decision against all these corruption reports.</p>
<p><strong>5. Not A Motivating Speaker</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/motivational-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16198" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/motivational-image.jpg" alt="motivational image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="207" height="244" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Leader is supposed to be the one who have skills to motivate their public during bad times. When citizens are looking for something from their leader. Among many negative points about Manmohan singh another one is he is lacking a good speaker skills, his speeches lacks a positive attitude and confidence.</p>
<p><strong>4. Public Jokes</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/publicjokes-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16197" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/publicjokes-image.jpg" alt="publicjokes image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="260" height="194" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Jokes in Public and in social Media also diminished his image. Many times jokes were made on his silent behavior, like &#8216;Please put down your phone in Manmohan Mode that is silent mode and many more jokes made on his behavior. Instead of that he never tried to do something to pull up his bad image. Again a joke on him, Dentist Said “ please open your mouth at least in my clinic”.</p>
<p><strong>3. Meek And Week Prime Minister</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/weekpm-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16202" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/weekpm-image.jpg" alt="weekpm image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="294" height="171" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>According to the Indian Political Pundits Manmohan Singh is considered to be as the meek and a week prime minister in the Indian History. His government has never spoken anything about the allegations that are imposed on them but in near future they had to come to public and give answers to all questions. His is not a saint, he is captured by bad trapping in power. He might be personal at his personal level but he is the head of most corrupted political party in India.</p>
<p><strong>2. Accidental Prime Minister</strong></p>
<p>Manmohan Singh is the accidental prime minister in the Indian history. He never stoop in the election and is not elected by the people. In a democratic country we all are lead by a leader who is not elected by us. Earlier Manmohan Singh used to travel in Maruti 800 but later when he came to power he is being served by Mercedes cars only. The sudden increase in his personal wealth are clear sign of his corruption.</p>
<p><strong>1. Worldwide Media criticism</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/worlwide-image.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16200" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/worlwide-image.jpg" alt="worlwide image Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" width="283" height="178" title="Top 10 Reasons Why Manmohan Singh is worst Prime Minister India" /></a></p>
<p>Recent post in The Washington Post has described Manmohan Singh as a &#8216;tragic figure&#8217; who may go down in the coming history. The post has also described Manmohan Singh as a underachiever. His image is not only damaged in front of Indians but also is a global damage figure. In the post, where it also describes the worries of the Manmohan Singh and all his corrupted scandals.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lamar S. Smith introduced the U.S. <span class="GRcorrect">bill</span>, Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). It is meant to increase the ability of law enforcement against online trafficking in intellectual property and counterfeit goods It would give government officials unlimited power to very rapidly shut down any website that is found to engage in or enable or facilitate copyright infringement, but side by side it is also affecting the citizen’s lifestyle. The enactment of SOPA will result in denying access to various social sites which the government thinks is not legitimate. Here are top 10 reasons to stop SOPA</p>
<h2><em>10. You will be <span class="GRcorrect">bound</span></em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/you-will-be-bound.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15016" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/you-will-be-bound.jpg" alt="you will be bound Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="300" height="168" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>Presently one can notice a large no. <span class="GRcorrect">of</span> downloads within a fraction of seconds, but with SOPA coming into action, it will be very difficult to imagine our limited access on the internet. With SOPA enacted you won’t be able to pirate without strict actions being action against him/ her (the ones who don’t need be afraid anyway). But you won’t be able to post a video of you hanging around with your friends on YouTube or a nice song that you like. The uploading and downloading on the internet will be restricted to a very large extent. The count of downloads of any video will fall exponentially. This will tie the hands of the common folks.</p>
<h2><em><span class="GRcorrect">9.</span>The language of the document is very vague</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vague-language.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15031" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vague-language.jpg" alt="vague language Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="225" height="225" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>One of the reasons for not supporting SOPA is that the government motives for bringing out SOPA bill is still unclear. It is not specifically formulated for the benefit of the people but the government. Instead of stopping the cyber-crime it claims to stop, it is restricting the people’s access to the internet and giving immense power to the government to work as per its wish. The opposition parties have valid grounds not to support this bill, and they will try their level best not to get this bill enforced. It is drafted in an unjust and poor manner. The goals of the bill are not indicated properly which is one of the reasons behind its mass rejection.</p>
<h2><em>8. Favorite sites blocked</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/favorite-sites-blocked.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15017" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/favorite-sites-blocked.jpg" alt="favorite sites blocked Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="225" height="225" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>Imagine what the world would be like to some if some of their favorite sites like Facebook, YouTube will be blocked. The life would then be unimaginable. And those who are addicted to the internet must start looking for another hub. This could as well end the world of social networking. If the act is directed only towards the rouge sites its language must specify them and not just be vague about it. It will also be very unfair to innocent people to pay for the mistakes of few wrongdoers. Acts, laws and bills must be made to punish those at fault and not the common folk who has got no hands in the cyber- crime.</p>
<h2><em>7. The economy will be badly affected</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/effect-on-economy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15034" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/effect-on-economy.jpg" alt="effect on economy Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="313" height="161" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>SOPA will have a devastating effect on the economy. Internet is known to contribute a large share in the annual GDP. The internet is known to provide thousands of jobs for people. For example, Facebook apps employ almost 200,000 jobless people. With SOPA being passed large no. <span class="GRcorrect">of</span> people will lose their job affecting their livelihood. This will lead to high rate of unemployment. This will also stagnate the development rate of the country. Various industries advertise on the internet, SOPA will also have an adverse impact on these industries. This is just the direct impact of SOPA; the indirect impact would also be no less disastrous.</p>
<h2><em>6. Restriction on Education system and Art</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15020" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa1.jpg" alt="sopa1 Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="259" height="194" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>The internet is the pool of information. The internet is also the teacher for many. It is the most updated source of information as people are kept aware of even a minute change happening around the world. If SOPA is enacted, the power of information will highly be affected as the information would be under the supervision of certain government organizations. These organizations will keep an eye on each and every update on the internet. This will greatly affect the <span class="GRcorrect">educationalists</span> and the artists as internet is <span class="GRcorrect">their</span> one of the important <span class="GRcorrect">source</span> of information. Their hands will be tied by these government corporations. Various artists would be restricted by the government on not to expose their <span class="GRcorrect">artistic</span> work on <span class="GRcorrect">internet</span>.</p>
<h2><em>5. Experts don’t support SOPA</em></h2>
<h2><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/experts-say-no.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15022" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/experts-say-no.jpg" alt="experts say no Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="225" height="225" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></h2>
<p>There are many experts who don’t support government bills like SOPA and PIPA. They confidently claim that the enactment of such bills will have great consequences on the technical aspect of the Internet. It becomes an important point to consider as their claim is not vague like the common mass; they have solid reasons and proofs to support their notion. They have asserted that laws like SOPA will lead into the segmentation of the global domain name server (DNS).  This segmentation will make internet <span class="GRcorrect">unauthenticated</span> and unreliable. They have emphasized that many websites will be blocked on the internet, this will make the internet network biased and people will lose their trust.</p>
<h2><em>4. It gives the government unlimited power to block any website outside SOPA</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/govn-access1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15027" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/govn-access1.jpg" alt="govn access1 Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="275" height="183" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>If SOPA law is passed, his will harm the Democratic concept. This will enormously increase the power of the government. The government would then be able to block any site which is not according to its whims and conditions. Many sites are aimed to be open source, in order to facilitate the flow of information and data to the common people will be culminated by the government. The government doesn’t have deep knowledge about the internal intricate design of the internet, thus being incapable of controlling the whole network.</p>
<h2><em>3. <span class="GRcorrect">Boundation</span> on Freedom of speech</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/freedom-of-speech.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15036" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/freedom-of-speech.jpg" alt="freedom of speech Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="260" height="194" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>Freedom of Speech is one of the 6 basic rights given to the citizens of any democratic country and is the most important right. The internet is the only space where people can speak their hearts and mind out. People express their views and feelings openly on any topic, even those related to government in public debates on various internet sites. With the government having the super power of the internet, these sites will face a huge risk of getting blocked. People’s right of speech would also lose its real meaning as they will then be restricted.</p>
<h2><strong><em>2. SOPA will not stop piracy</em></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa-censorship.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15023" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa-censorship.jpg" alt="sopa censorship Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="254" height="198" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>The main reason behind bringing SOPA into action is because of “online piracy”. The government and those in favor of this bill claim that SOPA will bring down the rates of piracy. This is however not true, as the culprits will find some other way out to carry out their piracy. This act gives the government all the powers to control the websites; however, the wrongdoers will bring out new techniques to fool the government.</p>
<h2><strong><em>1. SOPA will affect the world</em></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa-destroys-net.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15024" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sopa-destroys-net.jpg" alt="sopa destroys net Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" width="275" height="183" title="Top 10 Reasons to Not Support SOPA, Against SOPA" /></a></p>
<p>Though the SOPA bill, if passed will only be enacted in the United States but its impact would be worldwide. This is because the internet network is global and not just limited within the U.S. <span class="GRcorrect">boundaries</span>. This will hugely disrupt the flow of information across the world. The basic motive of bringing up internet will then be compromised. Restriction on a few sites in the U.S. <span class="GRcorrect">will</span> also damage the site’s functionality in other countries as well. This will create widespread  economic  instability.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are people who are popular and known for their speeches and their quotes. There are people remembered from the history because of the great orations they have delivered. Oratory is an art of public speaking in which a person requires great confidence and knowledge. We here present the list of the top 10 orators in the world yet known.</p>
<p><strong>10. Barack Obama (1961 to Present)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Barack-Obama-12782369-2-402.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14479" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Barack-Obama-12782369-2-402.jpg" alt="Barack Obama 12782369 2 402 Top 10 Best Orators in the World" width="402" height="402" title="Top 10 Best Orators in the World" /></a></p>
<p>He is the present president of United Sates. He is a very powerful orator and he give speeches with his full capabilities. One of the best speeches he has given is the victory speeches he gave in Chicago. He is the only African-American president of United States. His speech at democratic National Convention 2004 gave him the position in the top orators in the world. The most convincing thing in the speech is not the way he delivers it but the lyricism in the oration.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>9. Ronald Reagan (1911 – 2004)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ronald-Reagan.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14478" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ronald-Reagan.jpg" alt="Ronald Reagan Top 10 Best Orators in the World" width="402" height="402" title="Top 10 Best Orators in the World" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Politics has always been impure due to the scandals involved in it. Greed, self- importance, sex, money and power make the politicians choose a path which they never ever appreciate. It is not just a particular class of people or a particular country which is involved in such cases. Almost all the countries have experienced one such politician who was accused of something not everyone is proud of. These scandals and frauds happen all over the globe. Some of the most famous cases are:</p>
<p><strong>[10] Teapot Dome:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Teapot-Dome-Scandal.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15117" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Teapot-Dome-Scandal.jpg" alt="Teapot Dome Scandal Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" width="498" height="300" title="Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" /></a></p>
<p>In the American Political History, the Teapot Dome scandal is a very popular one and was during the time when Warren G. Harding was the President. Teapot Dome was an oil field situated in Wyoming and used by U.S. Navy. The scandal started as a simple case of bribery. In 1992, the Us Secretary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall was accused of accepting a bribe of $404,000 as gifts from the oil company in return of some rights to them. The Wall Street Journal was the first one to publish about the bribes exposing Fall. In 1927, investigation on the case led to a hearing in Supreme Court, where the judge declared him guilty and sentenced a fine of $100,000 and prison for a year. The President, though not involved in the scandal directly, was criticized about the ineffective monitoring in his cabinet.</p>
<p><strong>[9] Chappaquiddick Scandal:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/EDWARD.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15087" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/EDWARD.jpg" alt="EDWARD Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" width="460" height="307" title="Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" /></a></p>
<p>This scandal is related to Edward M. ‘Ted’ Kennedy. On 18 July, 1969, he attended a party in Massachusetts on Chappaquiddick Island. After the party he left with Mary Jo Kopechne, who was just 29 years old and a specialist of American political campaigning. In the drive to home, the car collided with a bridge and they got drowned. Kennedy is an experienced swimmer and therefore escaped. He explained that couldn’t get her out of the water despite of trying very hard and she ended up dead. No one is yet sure about whether Edward extricated his own self from the car or it was a near death experience for him. He got a suspended jail stay for 2-months and his driver’s licence was extracted for a year.</p>
<p><strong>[8] Jean Tiberi:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/JEAN.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-15085" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/JEAN.jpg" alt="JEAN Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" width="454" height="501" title="Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" /></a></p>

In 1998, their apartment was searched on the order of a judge and a number of illegal guns were obtained from the place. Again in the year 2005, they did a fraud of registering more than 7000 voters. If you mistakenly characterise Xaviere as a supporting wife, then you must be aware that she was more belligerent out of these two as per the French Press.</p>
<p><strong>[7]Silvio Berlusconi:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/silvio.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15081" src="http://omgtoptens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/silvio.jpg" alt="silvio Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" width="468" height="368" title="Top 10 Political Scandals of the world" /></a></p>
