@Toejam,
Flooding the board <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> with personal opinions and (wrong) info doesn't impress me at all.

exsqueeze me? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> who exactly is the one espousing personal opinions here? I have backed my posts with relevant information that you can read for yourself. What have you backed yours with? If it didn't impress you, why are you still here?

But like I said. I just can't care enough about it to go on forever about it.

All these posts are useless.

Well, at least half of them are (yours) so far.

Reality is simply very different from the ideal you seem to have.
No matter how much you praise the UN. Ppl can still see what's really happening.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> One, i never said the UN was wonderfull and perfect, I merely pointed out that it had significant accomplishments and was not irrelevant (to which I AT LEAST, posted some relevant supporting information). How do people see what's "really" happening? explain that to me please! You have not demonstrated anything to indicate that you yourself see what's "really happening.

You can posts hundreds of posts about how wonderful the UN is. And maybe some ppl who believe everything they see would believe you.


again, I never said it was wonderfull, just relevant. Moreover, it is the only organization we have to work with at this point. do you have an alternative in mind? let's hear it!

But most ppl would just get bored. (like me, I didn't even bother to read all you posted couse it's the same idealistic stuff over and over again).

*sigh* this goes back to my previous post about your behavior in this "debate": you fail to respond directly to ANY of the evidence that I have presented on the topic so far, and I have really not even begun to post any serious evidence yet (just a few summary statements and some relevant documents). It is folks who have attitudes like yours (they get bored if they have to read more than one sentence), <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> that is causing the lack of understanding of the real issues behind what's going on in the world.

While you ware typing all that Iraq experienced how much influence the UN has on the USA and other countries.

???

And we seen that so often... The UN is saying this, the UN is saying that... but in reality countries/politicians just go on with what they are doing.

not true at all. perhaps you forgot the 1st gulf war?

They can't even get along. How could an organisation that's so devided work efectively?

Actually, the remarkable thing is how much the UN HAS accomplished even with the divisions that one would naturally expect considering the over 190 member countries.

Fanatism is never good. It stops you from being critical and closes your eyes for the truth.


Gee, couldn't agree with you more there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> But who is the one who has stopped being critical, you or me?






SPOOOOON!!!
