the UN was supposed to stop wars.. but since it was shown to be incompetent at that, they have given it new duties.

Called the PETER PRINCIPLE.

If we don't fire the UN.. it will FIRE all of us.

What is worse, Obama wants the US to pay MORE to the UN to end global poverty.. funny that the WAR on Poverty in the US failed now they want this.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote
Obamas Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote

I have lost all faith in democracy. It can't solve these important global crises, given the fundamental basis of democracy is flawed: individual participation of the commoner. You don't need to be intelligent, you don't need to be educated. All you need to be is 18 and have a pulse. And your vote counts just as much.

Democracy fails. Hard. What we need is something else. A Technocracy where the intellectually superior and the technicians are no longer stifled in their scientific duties in the economy, industry, or elsewhere by know-nothing politicians and even dumber constituencies. There is only ONE best way to fix the problems, and they are not subject to vote or opinion. They are matters of fact and science, and conclusions arrive through the application of reasoned debate among educated, credentialed technicians. We live in a world now where scientists give the government reports and the government hands those reports back to them with edits, where libraries are shut down so people can't learn the truth, and where pecuniary interests of businessmen and lawyers lord over scientists.

The scientist is a slave doing unthanked work for relatively poor pay, only to have his warnings ignored by people who probably shouldn't even be allowed to run for office in the first place.

One day, perhaps before it is too late, the engineers and scientists of the world will rise up and seize control by conducting a general strike and shutting down the world. One can only dream.

We may have an early winter this year. It must be getting colder because of all that man made global warming.

Global Warming can screw up typical weather patterns. You can get wild fluctuations in different areas. People keep confusing global averages and local patterns.

I kind of agree with TU here.

...based on what evidence? I would be interested in seeing it.

Only proves, again, that you are very poor at researching things.

I did not make the claim. If you believe it, what is the basis for your belief?

Was it based on actual data from experiments or is it just your "GUT Feelings" or someone else's gut feelings?


I would be surprised if you even respond. It would be funny if it were not so sad...

Nobody compares to the insanity of the Brits.

What a sad, pathetic little island they've become.

That's ironic in a way you surely don't understand at all.

I'm not going to waste my time showing you data, you will simply dismiss it as leftist/socialist propaganda designed to propagate tyranny and take your money.
