If it won't be improved at the drop of the hat, why worry about a treaty for it? Kyoto was just a photo op for everybody to smile and then do nothing about it.

Don't care. I think the UN is a farce.
It really isnt. Why do you think that?
On the subject, I'm really pleased that Australia which causes the most global warming per head than any other country has finally ditched their useless Bush's arse kissing Prime minister and elected someone who has made signing the Kyoto treaty one of his first priorities.:clap
The nations marked in red are the ones that haven't ratified the protocols. Oh wait, sorry, NATION that didn't ratify it.

The United Nations is nothing more than a combination of the League of Nations and a corrupt for-profit charity organization. What an oxy moron. LOL!
The United Nations : Corrupt, Ineffective, Dangerous
except its an important tool for diplomacy that we shit on. They have done many good things.
I'd rather the UN take decisions than the US and allies seeing the way Iraq has gone. It seems to me that a lot of Americans loved the UN till they disagreed with something the US wanted to do. Sounds like the attitude of a spoilt child to me, not an enlightened nation!:humm:
at the end of they day the coalition had to go in........this sort of thing couldn't continue

But the same thing that is shown in the above video's happen everyday in Saudi Arabia to... So we should invade there to?
I agree that something should be done about atrocities that go on like this around the world, but reining down death on the people isn't the answer.

I've never cared for the UN. They are not my representatives. I didn't vote for them.
I hate to sound contrite or uncaring about people abroad, but couldn't we afford to work on cleaning up our side of the street here before we throw stones?
My logic:
Sexual innuendo, typically cast via the use of women is done every day here, beer commercials, movies that typically show the breasts and hindside of women, seldom do the same with men for obvious reasons, the movie producers want men to attend movies involving topics that are not normally the favorite of men.
Women are still getting slighted in the worplace, sometimes still not getting equal pay for jobs they do everyday the same as men.
Mild pornography now on practically every shelf of every bookstore you go into, playboy, penthouse and hustler at Barnes and Noble.
Music and movies prtraying the victimization of women constantly without backlash from the public...or muted backlash at best.
These are just a few. Seems like we should be stopping the oppression of women here...THEN perhaps we will have a thing or two we can teach the more...ignorant civilizations.
Once again, not to mute out your point Grace, as I admire what you post here, but if you magnify just slightly our own view of women, you will see we are only a few years passed clubbing our women and dragging them in caves to make babies.

Maybe you should have voted for a President who didn't want to be in the UN then? Really can't see the point of the US in the UN when they just do what they please anyway and that goes for my own country too!
Whether we are a sex driven society or not (which I think we are and I think it is crap) we (American women) don't have to lock ourselves in our homes for fear of fanatical vigilante/terrorists murdering us because we aren't Muslim and are not wearing a head scarf.
True just un-fair wages and being undressed mentally by practically every man that see's you.
Let's not forget the boss, that eyeball's you that although there are laws to protect women in the workplace, few blow the whistle for fear of retaliation.
It's what I call workplace terrorism.
HOWEVER Grace, I do agree with your original post, totally. I guess I was just making a point
*hug*
I think certain sections of the government and media would like you to believe so with their over reactions to terrorists.
Point taken and agree'd that shat over here in America is not all peaches and cream and that we have to keep pushing forward.I guess I was just making a point
