why? I'm new here, but I wasn't aware that opinion expressing was frowned upon.
If I've overstepped an invisible line you have my sincere apologies.
Don't listen to that line of cr*p.
It seems so many think they own F.R. and that it is their own personal playground. They are like the bullies on the playground.
Jim Robinson owns F.R. and the Moderators do a pretty good job of helping him ensure the website rules are followed.
You haven't violated any (that I have seen), so the only reason for you leaving FR would be your own choice, and not Condor51's.
Welcome to Free Republic.
About the only thing the UN is good for is a forum for debate. The fact is has an incredible amount of power is only due to the MONEY we funnel into it. That , IMHO, should stop, and then it's power will dissipate.
The UN is a corrupt organization. It may have had somewhat of a decent purpose at its beginnings (and I'm not so sure about that) but it's useless now.
A forum for debate?!? "gufaw" Get real. We live in a digital age. Any world leader could stream a thousand ambassasors on the web at any time.
If that's not good enough they can get FreeRepublic ID and join in with the rest of us.
More money? What a joke. That always works. That's like saying "Oh my God there's a fire destroying our home. Maybe if we fan it and through gasoline on it, it will suddenly turn productive and not destructive.
Get rid of vetoes? Sure all but one. America is the leader of the free world for a reason. We did thing s right long before and for a lot longer than anyone else. Why would Cartoon or Socialist France need a Veto. One reason, so they can stop the spread of Democracy. We brought a thriving economy to the worlds shores so why should we worry about a Chinese Veto.
I am all for working in the global economy. We lead and everyone else follows. If they don't like that no one is making them play.
Typically the U.N, isn't exactly seen by conservatives as a good thing, nor held in high regard. And your comment regarding UNSCOM and spying wasn't exactly .. 'pro USA'.
Plus, as you've seen someone had already called you a Troll. That is usually accompanied by that person hitting the abuse button, which I DID NOT and have not done. That's why I commented as I did.
If you're not a DU troll, welcome. Have fun
