Thats fine, but I want some money for north Korea next that says "Tomarrow South Korea" Their job is to help people get rights, not to help them get their politcal message out about indirectly related issues. or is Jerusalem nessasary for their freedom of speech now It has clearly been peaceful but without watching where the moeny went, they allowed themselves to be seen as supporting a side. A "our bad" after the fact isn't sufficent.

So, if I gave 10 million dollars to Bin Laden for him to by medical supplies for little kids, and he turns around and buys weapons with that, can I get out of it by saying "well, I thought it was for a good cause?" HELL NO There should have been watch dogs or no funding at all.

Jerusalem tomarrow?!?! at the very least the UN shouldn't, without voting, support that position. Much less fund it.

Like, I don't know, blow up a bunch of their young people who are dancing in night clubs? <_<

And, sadly, they are starting to prove Bush correct...

The story boils down to this: The United Nations is embroiled in a dispute with American Jewish organizations over the funding of Palestinian banners in Gaza, and U.S. Ambassador John Bolton on Wednesday protested the "unacceptable" payments. The dispute centers on the U.N. Development Program's payment for materials produced by the Palestinian Authority for Israel's disengagement from Gaza which include banners saying: "Gaza Today. The West Bank and Jerusalem Tomorrow" Link to Story You know, I like the U.N. and hate Bolton, but man do they just make you want to scream sometimes. I can't find the specific mug they meantion, but I found: Now, you might agree, but the UN should NOT be funding this kind of statement in any way.

I'm getting nothing. Is 'Yrkoon' the correct spelling? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I already did search, and I googled it. I saw this is a member who is registered with many forums named yrkoon, but not this one. I assumed that one of our members was yrkoon under a different name, as taks post would suggest, so I asked. Evidently the search function is my friend, but unfortunatly it's the only one who is civil enough to be freindly. I thought asking who "yrkoon" is, in a thread where no yrkoon posted and someone made a comment suggesting he/she did, wasn't too ambitious on my part. Clearly I was mistaken

anyone know who yrkoon is? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I guess I got what I asked for

that sounds dirty I'm surprised I don't get "Kummy" more.

September 21st. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sooner than I thought

Hit the next button and you'll see a HIGH-larious clip, better than the ninja one

anyone know who yrkoon is?

Obviously, I didn't think I suggested anything that dramatic. At all. If you can be arrogant and correct, than I suppose thats what I was. Plain and simple: ALOT of people talked about the US election. How many people talk about the German elections or otherwise? How many non-americans? So I guess most people here DO want to talk about the US and not talk about other elections. I mean, if me saying what everyone is actaully doing out loud makes me arrogant, so be it. Yep, I never said I didn't follow things at all (after all I AM following the German election to a degree). I do very much follow along with Iraq and Afganistan. etc etc. But when people demand I pay attention to such and such election, it usually tells me it's not worth paying attention too. There is, but lets face it, many of our states are more economically and culturally relevant than most countries. It's not like Sweden is equal, in terms of world impact, to the US. I'm sure I could argue that some of our state goverments are just as sophisticated as some goverments. You think it's silly that we don't pay more attention to other elections, but we got ALOT going on over here.

Wait, you just made fun of us for cutting up food and not cutting up food.... but seriously, I thought that the "cutting up food" was a weird sterotype too

Awwwww, look at the people thinking their comments matter, how cute. We'll bomb you last. 1. I completely saw the book thing coming, was just to lazy to change it (lazy....nothing there to make fun of ) 2. I was, hopefully obviously, just kidding around, but my point is this: I've always thought it was kind of pathetic and silly when people do the "my election is important too, look at me" stuff. Not that metadigital was trying to do that specifically, but it smelled of that to me. Great, I know other elections are important for their own reasons, but seriously............there is a reason everyone talked about the US election and no one is talking about the German election now. I assure you it's not because we lack knowledge about the election, it's just because it's not that interest to that many people. Sure it's important to some degree, which varies from person to person, but that doesn't mean it's interesting to very many people. And truth be told, it IS less important than the US election. Not because we're better people, it's because the coutry is a military and economic power house. If you can't see that...

Most did

Wouldn't that be Resident bitterly cynical person

Only because I love you: The main article The first wave of "letters" 2nd batch

that, and in terms of political disscusion, the election is over and/or it's been done already <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this might come as a shock to you, Mr Kumquat, but there are other countries in the world, and they have elections, too! You silly "countries" with your "elections", how quaint. Countries: Look! Look! We're voting too! USA: Yes yes, I see. Here is some more money for your U.N. tree house ::goes back to reading book::

I'm as ready to bash LA as anyone, but come on......

that, and in terms of political disscusion, the election is over and/or it's been done already

No, it is, in fact, 512 megabytes LInk, search "512" Link2 LINK3

yep, as is the 2 letter sections in his next two articles that pretty much rip on K2

He didn't have to say the article ended ONLY because of his choices either. But he did.

What role might LA have had in this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> not much, read the rest of the thread
