They probably shouldn't. They have no clue what they are getting into and we don't need another damn incident for an excuse to invade another country.

It's your embassy's business if you're thrown in jail. Anyone traveling abroad should know that if you're arrested in another country, first thing you do is ask for a representative from your embassy. Although US embassies don't have great reputations, they'll still get you out (if you're wrongly arrested ofc).

@TheTruth006 So true besides they can be sent back home and banned from entering the country again (applies to ALL the country's in the world that I know of)

And so there goes all they're College/Uni money AND they're education.

Ooops! ...I'm sorry, America and its school administers. I promise I won't sleep out in front of the ECB ever again. I shouldn't have taken the UDHR seriously and just shut my mouth abroad.

@hamrite They're fighting for its future and they may be willing to get arrested but I think very few would be willing to die for it. Egypt has been kept under an authoritarian boot for decades and the people is getting its first taste of freedom, I don't see how they can be compared in this manner.

And I've participated in OWS protests both in my hometown and in NYC, my point is you can compare the motivation and ideas behind the protests, but the protests themselves are very different.

those people abroad wanting a democracy should look at our country and then reevaluate

@inademv A better analogy to that might be an ethnic cleansing campaign, rather than a general question of governance.

Well universities are personally responsible for students. Unless the students directly enrolls. I remember going to India and a student got in trouble for riding on the back of a motor bike.

@TheTruth006 Oh really?! what soccer match that triggered a war do you have in mind?

@Nemesis000000

The way I understand it, citizens get rights that non citizen residents do not get, in a bunch of countries. I assumed the U.S was like that, so why wouldn't a place like Germany or Egypt be the same?

I'm not even from the U.S. Just asking.

@TheTruth006 If the dispute in your family is that your child is being starved or beaten then it damn sure is my business as well as society's business. If you're an even moderately intelligent person then you'll understand how it is analogous on an international scale.
