<0> I don't want to put on gl***es
<0> sir
<1> it means "Hearts" in German
<0> alright, that makes it easier not to f
<1> its the sirname of Alexander Herzen, russian Social thinker
<1> It makes lots of people think i'm Jewish
<0> well, I'm going to be honest. I haven't haerd of him..which makes sense
<0> nevermind, yes I have
<0> Herzen: So I think you know my nicn name base?
<0> nick*
<1> Yeah yeah
<1> the Roman consul
<2> Its "Cartoon Latin".
<0> oooh
<0> Nope...the American version
<0> haha
<2> See.... it works like this.
<0> the pen name Alexander Hamilton and James Madison wrote under in The Federalist Papers
<0> techinically it goes back to the consul though
<0> ...
<1> My MA is in History
<2> Public - Publius ; Coke - Cokius ; Gun - Gunius ; Cigarette - Cigarettius
<1> So eh
<2> Like I said.
<0> you mother!
<2> Cartoon Latin./
<0> hahaha
<1> more history minded then silly Federalist papers minded
<0> aw aw
<2> Federalistius.
<0> ooh
<1> Canada's top court ruled Thursday that a Montreal school went too far when it barred a Sikh boy from wearing his ceremonial dagger to school.
<2> Astrodoggius.
<1> In a unanimous 8-0 judgment, the Supreme Court of Canada overturned a decision that banned teenager Gurbaj Singh Multani from wearing the dagger, known as a kirpan, to cl***.
<2> Canadus.
<0> HA
<1> yeesh
<0> Ah, Supreme Courts tend to be smart
<2> Jugementius, Daggerus, Cl***ius, Kirpanius.
<2> See?
<2> Instant Latin.
<1> Shaddapius.
<0> they get things right eventually
<0> omg
<0> "The only survivor of the VA mining accident...hasn't been told he was the only one!"
<0> Thanks FOx...I really cared
<2> Publ: That's probably for the best.
<0> welll yeah...duh
<1> tv news is crappy
<0> why are they reporting that
<3> John Bolton has said he wants to make it more difficult for rights violators to gain a seat on the council, such as a two-thirds vote in the General ***embly rather than an absolute majority of 191 members as in the current draft resolution. "It's an anomaly that it now takes a majority to get on the council under this draft but two-thirds to get kicked off," Bolton said.
<2> Herzen prefers to get his news by phone.
<4> Hooray for Bolton!
<0> haha
<0> Bolton rules
<3> UNITED NATIONS - U.N. members may delay consideration of a crucial Human Rights Council for several months rather than reopen negotiations on the text the United States has rejected, U.S. Amb***ador John Bolton said on Wednesday.
<4> crucial, yeah.
<0> hahaha...they started it
<4> they've done so much for Darfur
<3> Bolton on Monday announced Washington's opposition to a draft resolution on the Human Rights Council. Republican members of the U.S. Congress want to make the formation of the council one of the conditions for paying the full U.S. dues to the United Nations.
<4> and they did a magnificient job in Rwanda and Bosina
<4> * nia
<0> "look at the evil U.S with Guantanamo and Abn Ghrab(sp?)
<3> Kofi Annan is a schmuck.
<1> Eh like I said
<0> US: Look at 2/3 of your nation
<0> s
<1> one of the fundamental problem with the UN is the way the UNSC is organized
<1> By having 5 competing major powers with VETO power, it basically disallows them from taking any major acton
<0> Herzen: They have to do something about that veto nonsense
<2> Herz: Names out of a hat, with random veto powers sprinkled on top?
<1> Perhaps keep the VETO, but have it so 1 VETO can be overruled with a 2/3 majority
<4> I disagree
<1> and 2 VETOs can't be overturned
<0> they can elect to "top nation"
<4> the veto is crucial often for the US
<0> Timur: only cause the U.N can be a bunch of dolts
<2> Reworking the SC would be bad for us.
<2> heh
<1> Reworking the SC so it works would help the UN out a lot
<1> I don't particularily care too much for the UN
<0> but in the end we have had the walk to back the talk over the entire world
<1> So *shrugs*
<1> I'm happy with the way it is
<4> Pub: right, but denying the veto before that's changed would undercut the position of the US often
<0> Timur: Reform it like the U.S gov...hahahaha.
<0> I want to do that to everything...
<0> Herzen: I don't care for it but I would like to see better world relations for the U.S and so forth
<3> "The European Union wants to see the Human Rights Council put in place as soon as possible," said Britain's amb***ador, Emyr Jones Parry. "We would like to see that text adopted as a basis of consensus among the (U.N.) membership." But he said Europeans also recognized "that adopting that text without United States support isn't good for human rights and it's not particularly good for the council."
<0> Parry is with us
<0> haha
<3> John Bolton - the right time and place - kismet.
<1> Publius, the most effective IGOs are security-based ones
<0> Purely?
<1> NATO, Warsaw Pact, etc
<2> Bolton - When you just don't hear enough ***holes everywhere else... and want to add one more to the news.
<2> ;)
<0> ture
<1> and the second most effective IGOs are Economic ones
<1> EU, ASEAN, NAFTA etc
<0> NATO actually works damn well
<0> to be honest
<1> the lease effective IGOs are ones that aren't really based on any real interests for the major players involved
<1> UN
<1> World Court
<1> etc
<1> Those things don't do anything to further the interests of USA, Russia, China, etc
<1> least*
<2> World Court should be a TV show.
<3> optical scanners are used in some elementary schools to ID parents and or guardians picking up children. Optical scanning technology--the future.
<0> If we payed less attention to the UN NATO could do a lot more for countries dealing with atrocies we can't deal with now
<0> I think
<0> hmmm
<1> Morning Pickle
<3> Nano technology
<1> maybe
<0> Hey Pickle
<5> Howdy
<1> Pickle, What do you think of the Federal Conservative partys policy ideas so far?
<1> Haven't got a chance to chat with you since the electon
<0> woah
<5> Herzen: Scrapping the gun registry is a good start.
<0> U.K?
<1> Canada
<0> Canada
<0> yes
<0> sorry
<0> took a sec
<5> Herzen: Beyond that I haven't paid much attention to what they want to do, since they won't be allowed to do most of it.
<0> WOW
<1> Pickle, How about that 'public review' thing of Judicial Nominees
<0> Canada is scrapping the gun registry?
<1> Yeah
<1> The longgun registry
<1> Bill C-68
<5> Herzen: Yeah, I like that, too. And the Liberals are such boneheads to oppose it.
<0> You got some people with sense running the country...and living there
<1> Pickle, The argument against it is ridiculous "They have no veto power!!!"
<1> Its like having more discussion in a democracy is a bad thing
<5> Herzen: It is, to the Liberals, who see controlling the Supreme Court as a privelege of power.
<6> I'm not sure o.s. technology is really the answer there. I mean, it is very cumbersome. Why not just use a cell phone?
<0> The right wing in AMerica isn't going to like this
<1> Pickle, Clearly Harper if he continues on the path he is on now, will run the most pro-Democracy PMO in 40-50 years
<1> Just in terms of reforms
<0> That scrapping of the gun registry is undeniable proof agianst the right wing opinion that Canada is a bunch of socialist
<1> Western Canada is pretty Conservative
<1> Rural Manitoba, Rural Saskatchewan, and Alberta
<0> I think Canada is very...libertarian
<5> Interior BC as well.
