#3 Whenever I hear of any great pronouncement from the general assembly of the UN, I always reminds myself of a few facts:

1) The AVERAGE education of delegates to the UN is the equivalent of 5th grade. Most are blood relations to the leaders of their respective nations.

2) On AVERAGE, some 40 weapons are confiscated from delegates every day the general assembly meets. Most are guns, knives, blowguns, clubs, projectiles and poisons.

3) The general assembly has repeatedly voted fried grasshopper to be their favorite snack food.

4) The vast majority of the delegates have stated that they believe the US moon landing was just another Hollywood production.

5) For several years, Theodor Geisel, aka Dr Seuss, was employed in the staff of the UN as an illustrator who drew cartoon pamphlets to depict complex issues to delegates who are illiterate.

6) For many years running, resolutions have been approved by the general assembly strongly condemning inclement weather around the world, such as hurricaines, tornadoes, monsoon flooding and drought.

7) Some people wish the US to take a subordinate role to these people in the matters of criminal law, international scientific treaties, and global economic policy.

#4 Itâs time now, we believe, for implementation, for compliance, and at a later stage for additional measures," Al-Kidwa said

Wonder what those 'additional measures' are?

#5 Wonder what those 'additional measures' are?

#6 The UN can go phuck themselves. Sideways. I am beyond disgusted with them, and have been for years.

The last time the UN did anything of value was back in the 1970's when they eradicated smallpox through the WHO.

May they all rot in HELL - and leave our shores NOW.

Useless dictator-loving wankers.

#7 Hmm...I vote that we recycle the UN delegates as organ donors and fertilizer. So you see, they aren't completely worthless.

#8 All dictators and appeasers of dictators please raise your right hand...

Unless I'm mistaken that includes the UK, I believe. And Poland. And Italy. "Old" and "New" Europe both.

The only ones that aren't appeaser of dictators are thus USA, Israel, Australia and ofcourse your big and powerful allies of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.

The last time the UN did anything of value was back in the 1970's when they eradicated smallpox through the WHO.

They also provided the fourteen resolutions against Iraq that allowed the USA to say "There existed fourteen resolutions against Iraq, and that's one of the reasons we had to go in there."

#9 I used to scoff at the 1950's and 1960's John Birch Society billboards that read "TEAR DOWN THE U.N.!" As the years have passed, they make more and more sense to me...

#10 So much for the UN's much vaunted "anti-Semitism" campaign. What a bunch of syphillitic scum bags. America needs to single-handedly fund wholesale relocation of the UN to Bangladesh and shut these wankers up forever. Not many would be scrambling for posting assignments to the UN after that.

#11 Yeah, Aristotle and this resolution on the Israeli fence will go the same way as those 16 resolutions against Saddam--with the UN doing Sweet Fanny Adams (nothing)!
Thank God!
I love the fence. The fence works.

Oh I dunno, I'd say that it looks like they've done a splendid job of institutionalizing anti-Semitism....
