They started the UN to prevent another world war. It's worked so far. I don't say the UN gets a lot done. They get very little done. I wish they got more done.

Yeah because they coddle the dicatators balls in their mouths and every time we try to take some serious stance they cry foul that were to mean to those poor nations. I'm not rooting for a world war, but it's not the uniting of nations that prevent it, the UN is worthless.

The UN does a lot of charity work around the world

After the corrupt officials syphon 90% of it off the top - see Oil for Food scandal and Kofi Anan's son's involvement in it. And that's just one fairly small example.

The UN is more corrupt than the Mafia - and no that's not hyperbole.

I'm sure the UN is just as corrupt as our own government is but they still exist for a good reason. So the world doesn't go to hell.

Right, and it's preventing that now???? So far the only thing the UN has done about Darfur is prevented any action from taking place. The only thing the UN did in Rwanda was stand by and watch a few million people get slaughtered. Useless, Corrupt, more dangerous having it than not having it from my perspective.

Ok fine whatever. Boo the UN, as David Hume would say. I'm tired of this stupid fighting.

But the truth pervading your conservative minds is that "there's no genocide here so why should we care?"

You should care, because it could happen to you. If the UN isn't getting the job done, let's fix it some other way.

Wanting to stop a massacre in a foreign land is a compassionate human impulse that the UN should help to facilitate.

If you can feel compassion for another human being, then you should care about Darfur. If you can help prevent it, then you should do what you can.

I haven't seen a denial, in fact Bassjones pointed out two examples.

No it won't, that may sound mean and ethnocentric but it's the truth.

If the UN isn't getting the job done.

which it's not

let's fix it some other way.

Okay

Wanting to stop a massacre in a foreign land is a compassionate human impulse that the UN should help to facilitate.

But they don't, instead they hold meetings where world wide d*ck-tators complain about the US.

I didn't say anything about identification, did I? I said something a little more specific: compassion.

And now it is evident that this human emotion (compassion) is something you do not have.

they hold meetings

Well of course they hold meetings! They're the UN! You can't charge them with holding meetings, can you?!

Hope I'm not taking your statement out of context. haha.

world wide d*ck-tators complain about the US.

duh, remember bush said they're the axis of evil. u think they forgot that? HELL NO! They're gonna biitch about it from now until the end of time.

I didn's say that I didn't care about genocide in the world, I said it won't happen to me. Same as I won't get breast cancer, but I'd still like their to be a cure.

Okay it can't happen to you. Nothing can happen to you, huh?

You are impervious to all attacks?

There's a lot of fukked up sh*t that could happen to anyone and everyone.

So do u care that people who think and feel just like you are being hurt, tortured, and killed?

Doesn't that piss you off?

Because if it doesn't, then you will have to be hurt, tortured, and killed as well.

That's karma. Do you believe in karma?

So let me get this straight, if I don't share your exact world view I should be killed? That's one way to promote an agenda, it worked real well for..well the Nazi's, radical Islam, people that bomb abortion clinics. It's funny you preach compassion, and probably claim to be tolerant of all, but yet you claim I must die for my beliefs(or at least the beliefs you percieve that I have.) I never said, "there's no genocide here so why should we care?" That is you making blanket statements and then trying to create evidence after the fact to support it.

Oh and I don't believe in "karma" I believe in God and his wrath.

scuzzbagcomics · Post by **scuzzbagcomics** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:16 pm

Haha. These allegations are outrageous!

Anyways karma could be god's wrath. ever think of that?

all religions have a little piece of the puzzle, but not the whole picture. Buddhism has the escape plan. Christianity has the redemption plan. And Wicca has the... oh wait what is Wicca's plan?
