you know, I’ve always wondered if it’s because they have a black slacker in charge...you know those kind of people who think they’re entitled to everything and thus don’t care about you…
I often wonder also why a man at my mom’s work, who has not done any work and has also sexually harrassed the employees has continued to get awards, raises, praises at meetings, and held his job for several years still without being fired. Unfortunately, we just have world-class careless, selfish slackers.

Well first off I think the quoted material is very interesting. I don’t think you can call the UN bad in this situation. They are trying to accomplish good there. I would advise seeing the film “Lord of War”, it talks alot about small arms violence in Africa. I’m not sure anyone can be faulted for these genocides. This world has been, is, and will always be a tragic place.
Oh and to the commenter for me, stop being a racist prick and someone who makes generalizations. This world isn’t full of slackers, it’s a bold new world that’s going to have alot of flaws. Anon may not be the best thing ever to happen to the UN but to call him a slacker is anything but true. The UN itself is a slow organization but at least it’s there. Countries and governments can’t be left to check themselves.

Well Miles, undoubtedly some in the international gun control movement think they are trying to help. But the truth of the matter is that they are making it worse.
As far as Koffi being a slacker? I don’t know.
On the other hand he has led the UN to being more ineffective, more corrupt and more beholden to the the thugocracies that have a majority in the General Assembly. Not a good record.

Heh, referring to Lord of War as if it were true.
You do realized that’s about the same as using ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ as scientific evidence of global warming, don’t you?
The UN backed disarmament of citizens hasn’t worked in Britain, and it’s not working in 3rd world countries either.
student: bringing race into the matter doesn’t help your case. Kofi is a boob who has reduced the UN to being even more worthless than before (if that’s possible), He’d still be a boob if his skin were a different color.

Well said Elect Nixon.

well, you think it’s racist, but it may be true: I grew up in a ghetto school. Everyone told me I was dumb, yet they threatened me because they wanted me to do their work for them. This is all I’ve seen of black people from the ghetto. I suspect that kofi may have the same background as these people: just let someone else do the job, and when you do the job, just do a crap job of it. There’s been more scandal and more problems with that guy around, when there are better people to do the job.
And yes, I do know some respectful black people who don’t act anything like this. However, I’m talking about the disrespectful ones here, and I just think he might be one of those people who doesn’t help things along. There are certain black people who think it’s the “Black attitude” they should have to slack off and do a crappy job.

In a situation like this, the UN should be handing out guns to the villagers.

At least not standing in there way.
It’s not that we haven’t seen this before.
Miles said, The UN itself is a slow organization but at least it’s there. Countries and governments can’t be left to check themselves.
And what is the UN, if not a government who can’t be left to check themselves?
You defeat yourself with your own argument.
Blaming the genocide on gun laws (i.e. piece of paper) is the most stupid explanation I have read in a long time.
