The new President of the UN General Assembly is a Ugandan homophobe. Of course, he's not merely homophobic, he's also been accused of some pretty serious political corruption. More at the link, if anyone's interested.
Aside from the Security Council, which is useful to the US, the UN competes with FIFA and the IOC for most ridiculously corrupt but sadly relevant international organization.
Not my country. This one is. And always will be. Which is why I'll never stop trying to turn it into what it should be.
You'd fit in perfectly. Since you'll have even less success at that than you've had as an assistant football coach, knock yourself out kiddo.
A place where sex is only for procreation, tax dollars pay for a Star Trek where nothing happens except space battles, homosexuals are converted and everyone is forced into one religion?
Except I've never advocated any of those ideas. I'll take them one at a time. 1) As far as I'm concerned married heterosexual couples can and should have sex as much as they want (with each other). 2) I suggested that if a Star Trek series was on some kind of "Federal Network" (American version of the BBC) that I would like to see the military advertise on it. I assumed that a Trek series would have to be primarily paid for by private advertisers thought. 3) I've suggested 6 t0 8 episodes a season (out of 26 in a regular season) feature space battles (hardly "nothing happens except space battles"). 4) I've not once advocated the conversion of homosexuals. 5) I have never advocated that "everyone forced into one religion" Case Closed. Easily.
1) Only heterosexual sex, so you are saying that homosexual sex isn't allowed thereby saying that if someone wants sex they have to be converted and have to follow the guidelines of a religion. 2) and 3) You said as president you would have Star Trek produced by tax dollars, and the one you want where the Federation never gets defeated or loses, everyone follows your ideas where there isn't any conflict among the characters and everyone only does their duty no leisure activities. 4) Yes you have, you say that it's their choice and a wrong one. And that by following the teachings of Christ they would not be. How is that not converting people? 5) You also said that the U.S. government should make Christianity the official religion, that is forcing a religion onto people.
1) So. Their choice. 2) and 3) If Star Trek was on an Americanized version of the BBC perhaps you would be right in a narrow sense. That probably is not happening but I'll give you #2. As for 3) I want my side to win wars. I see no reason why people would enjoy the modern Star Trek idea of constant defeats for the good guys until some miraculous deux ex machina pulls things out at the end. I have no problem with conflict as it isn't annoying bickering. I don't watch Star Trek to see people hanging out on the holodecks. 4) Once again, people can do what they want. I do NOT advocate forcing them to do anything. 5) See above. I've suggested making Christianity the official religion of the U.S. if anti religious zealots like the ACLU continued to attack people practicing their faith in the public sphere. But even a United States that was officially a Christian nation would still allow all other religions to be publicly and privately practiced.
1) But you want only heterosexuals to have certain rights or privileges, such as tax health benefits. Because according to you, they are fake marriages or relationships. So by doing so, it's their choice. 2) and 3) So nothing happens, no tension or drama. Just oh look the federation wins again. Boring. 4) Number one applies here as well. To get certain rights, you have to act in a certain way. 5) So you're saying only one group is allowed to exist if they oppose the beliefs of the official religion, and others have to be silenced. That's forcing people into a religion. Either get in or get out. And to the final point, unless they oppose the official religion.
The UNGA, FIFA and IOC are perfect examples of what happens when you let children sit at the adult table and let them have the same say.
Declaring the United States a Christian nation in no way implies other religions are not allowed to exist and be protected by the same laws in the United States ed. In regards to wars and Star Trek, in World War 2, the United States was winning in the Pacific Theatre after six months had passed and continued to win for the next 3 and a half years. That doesn't make Okinawa, Guadalcanal, Leyte Gulf or any of half a hundred other battles any less dramatic. Who cares if homosexual partners get tax health benefits? I've no objection to that.
These policies will surely result in Dayton becoming the USA's most beloved president of all time, able to walk down dark alleys alone at night without fear due to the admiration of the population bestowed upon him.
It would be a quite lonesome country if you had your way. You. Your wife chained in the basement. Everybody else has fled to Mexico long ago.
Have you ever considered that there is another country out there that's already what you want America to be?
If I wasn't already convince that Adolf Kim-Jong Dayton wasn't a troll, I am after this thread. The same guy that has never set foot on an airplane has some inkling to visit Urganda? One that hevs never mentioned in all the other times he's put out all his other business down to the lenght of the shit he took this morning? Okay.
Great... I just pictured Dayton with a little fish net and a ruler and writing it down in s notebook.
I would mention such things but people would just laugh at my ambitions here. And where the hell is "Urganda" anyway? Assuming you mean "Uganda" then what is so wrong with visiting there or the rest of Africa? In the summer of 2008, I had a good opportunity to join a three week Historical Society trip to Africa. All I had to pay for was the airline ticket. Unfortunately the school RIFed me that spring and I couldn't commit to it.
