United Nations

The United Nations...Is it Good or Bad? What influence does it have on our lives? Should we persue their ideas or have they lost direction? Is the general philosophy of the UN in favour of general citizens owing firearms?

I beleive that they are in favour of civilian disarmament.

The UN has a standing committee for the reduction of all civilian small arms etc... I DEFINETELY DON"T CONSIDER THEM FRIENDLY!

+1 They are a circus of clowns. They were only marginally effective in bring hostilities in Korea to an end. But not the war. The North and South are still technically at war with each other.

Executive Outcomes was apparently asked by the UN to quote to stabilise Rwanda. They came in at $100 million for six months. This was rejected as too expensive.

The UN eventually spent $600 million in Rwanda. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of their pathological and systemic uselessness.

I don't like them, I don't trust them.

**BigT** · 20-08-2008, 21:03

Have they actually had any successes?

It seems great minds do think alike....albeit minds that are cluttered and rattled by gunfire... confused0083

they do have some people working for them who are committed and some aspects which work however as a whole!

they pay their bills late!
they accomplish very very little
they have too much tail
they are in love with their own voices
their policies and procedures are idiotic
they would rather let their own people die than confront a problem
their admin sucks
their leadership consists of the worst kind of politicians
have I mentioned they pay their bills late!

I know Churchill said better jaw jaw than war war but at least he had the stones to do something when needed.

The UN has failed and indeed continues to fail Africa time after time (Rwanda, Sierra Leone, the Darfur (yes I know it as Amis first but they were so beholden to the UN purse strings they were doomed to fail)

No the UN is a waste of time bodies such as NATO and even the AU accomplish more!
