The UN apparantly uses the same strategy on dictorships and despots as they do with children. What a bunch of maroons!

"Canada, you've been naughty."

I bet Canada would support that kind of spanking.

The UN prefers the Saudi method of dealing with unruly and improperly dressed schoolgirls: burn them alive.

This is much less damaging to their self esteem.

Funny how the UN doesn't "scold" some African countries for the practice of circumsizing (euphamisim for the complete removal of a young womans clitoris) when they reach the appropriate age.

They allow countries like Lybia and China to be members of the UN's Human Rights Commission and then bitch at Canada for allowing parents to dicipline their children.

The UN is more than irrelevant, the UN is dangerous.

Best Regards

Cripes, that asnine.

Maybe the UN thinks Canada needs to follow the example of another proud UN member like, I dunno, Saudi Arabia or North Korea. THEY never get in trouble, so they must be doing something right, eh?

"We need to give the UN a good spanking!!"

Ditto that. I don't know of a single guy on the street who's opposed to limiting UN members' wages to 75,000 a year, tops, rather than the bottom level. And few people would be opposed to cutting our UN payments to 1/2. This stuff is frivolous. They have too much time on their hands. They need to cut staff, downsize. [Truth is, I'd like to kick the bums out, but a few more wedges ought to do it.]

"There are other means," she said. "Children are very smart, and even when they are as young as two or three months old, they will understand if you have a tough look, or change the tone of your voice, or turn away from them...."

The wheels are spinning, but there's nothing behind the wheel. Kids learn one thing pretty quick: what a bluff is. When kids realise that a parent is bluffing, discipline goes out the window.

"'If he puts his hand on a hot oven, he will be burnt and he will not do it again,' said Moushira Khattab of Egypt.'

And I'm supposed to take parenting advice from this mental midget? A burned child is now preferable to a popped hand... I think I get it now; just let little Johnny play in the street. Getting hit by an eighteen-wheeler will teach the insolent little bastard a lesson he won't soon forget.

These people never cease to amaze me.
