The United Nations. Love it, hate it, what's your deal?
 

As an American, I'm a HUGE fan of the United Nations. How about you?

i support the un

What do you think of the UN?

The US government can use it to get what they can out of other countries but as a world governing body it doesn't seem very useful.

It serves one useful purpose, and thats as a formal talking shop. A lot of wars have been avoided because there is somewhere the participants can formally talk about it. Communication is good. Course, it didn't work with Iraq because the US has a president determined to goto war, but with sane leaders, it is a useful tool.

The United Nations is a great organization and I support it 100%. The only problem with the UN is it doesn't have any teeth to enforce its resolutions. As such it gets pushed around by the United States. If the US doesn't support a UN resolution, that resolution doesn't get enforced. This is a big problem.

We need it!

I dont love it, I just like it. :2 cents:

I think that the United Parcel Service is sexier.

helping alot of ppl all around the globe. great organisation..

btw mr bush is a joke. first shitting on the UN and now begging for help hahah..

Same with France, Russia, China, and the UK. What's the big deal?

well said... UN cannot stand on its on feet, unless its being dictated by powerful countries such as UK and US, which has a lot of allies.

My opinion is IMPOTENT in many matters & very IMPORTANT in others.

After 20 years they have still not been able to stop FGM.
IMPOTENT

Peace keeping - VERY IMPORTANT.

i support the UN only because it keeps the US in some sort of check.

the US should be torn down and with no more super powers the UN should be disbandand

I was genitally mutilated. Motherfuckers cut off my foreskin when I was a baby. :mad:

Most of the world's men are not circumcised.

If you take an average sampling of 100 penis pictures (like I did from Usenet) ...
and you know what you are looking for ...
I would say unscientifically approximately 1/3 of those circumcised have EXTRA damage ...like a missing frenelum ...scared glans etc ... and there will be several that are just destroyed.

There is no need to cosmetically alter a persons body without their permission. They can make the decision themselves when they are adults.

No, it doesn't. It does the complete opposite. The UN reinforces the prevailing power structure of the day. The US, UK, China, France, and Russia can and have vetoed any Security Council resolutions they wish to.

The countries it keeps in check are the ones with less political power.

No one said that. I said *I* was. Fuck the EXTRA damage. Don't demean me. I want my foreskin back. Bastards!

I can have it back, I have connections. But this will cost ya bro.

You take Paypal?

Sorry, only fresh kidneys.

I am NOT demeaning you.
I too am circumcised and wish I was not.
And I have no "extra" damage either.

There are several devices you can use to "stretch" a foreskin but you can never replace the "original" nerves etc.

Many men report increased sensisity to the same stimuli when they are NOT circumcised. It is well known that the nerves of the glans are closer to the surface on men who are uncut.

I am NOT demeaning you. Your opinion is that of many men.

Fuck the UN, they have never done anything except drain our resources, and could not break up a pillow fight at a Brownies sleep over.

Send it to France.

Iraq was chairing some Disarmament Panel and Syria is on something like the Security Council and is it Nigeria which is on the Human Rights thingy? I forget.

The UN is not a farce, only because it presents a real danger to mankind. Otherwise it would be a farce.

The UN???

Fuck all and Miss Havisham!

If we left things up to the UN everyplace would look like some hippie commune with chutney and incense all over the place.

Irresponsible breeding, lackadaisical defense systems, weird people trying to explain to me why I should fork over more dough to stupid superstitious people who hate me anyway?

Reminds me of 'Starfleet'. The world is 'Deep Space Nine' NOT 'The Next Generation'.

I wish I could blow up the Hague...

and end the UN once and for all -- I'd do it in a second.



I hope the US NEVER goes the way of western Europe and tries to give up it's sovereignty for no reason.
