“Christians get on my nerves.”
[Quote:]
A new survey of U.S. adults who don’t go to church, even on holidays, finds 72% say “God, a higher or supreme being, actually exists.” But just as many (72%) also say the church is “full of hypocrites.”
Indeed, 44% agree with the statement “Christians get on my nerves.”
Holy Crap: Did Bill Gates Just Say Windows Sucks?
[Quote:]
We asked a simple question: what Microsoft product could have used a little more polish before release? The answer astounded us. We would just like to thank Bill Gates for his honesty and his openness.

TSA searches, detains 5 year old because his name was on no-fly list
[Quote:]
A five-year-old boy was taken into custody and thoroughly searched at Sea-Tac because his name is similar to a possible terrorist alias. As the Consumerist reports, “When his mother went to pick him up and hug him and comfort him during the proceedings, she was told not to touch him because he was a national security risk. They also had to frisk her again to make sure the little Dillinger hadn’t passed anything dangerous weapons or materials to his mother when she hugged him.”
Feel safer yet?
I must say it amazes me that Americans fail to recognize that the UN is an international body made up of its members. How the Libyan plane bombing is their responsibility is beyond me. No wonder the world thinks you are a bunch of bone headed warmongers.
For Geddy and others: The Ramirez cartoon is not trying to say that the UN is responsible for the Lockerbie plane bombing. Libya publicly admitted responsibility for the bombing a long time ago. Instead, Ramirez is pointing out how silly and irrelevant the UN is because the UN has appointed Libya to head the UN Security Council. This means that the person officially responsible for the security of the entire world–as appointed by the UN–is at this moment Libyan President Moumar Khadafi. Safe, sane world we live in, eh?
You miss my point entirely. I am saying that you can hardly critcize the UN as you are criticizing a body that is as good as the input from its members. As the US has abused the UN over the last 7 years you can hardly complain about what it does. Cooperation works better than confrntation.
