UN Human Rights Council - fair and balanced since 2006

it was six in the morning and i was drunk. dont blame me, blame the drug.

I thought as much. when you and I were, *ahem* debating earlier.

@Winner: I've heard from former mercenaries that the Czech Republic was their favourite source of weapons, because you guys had a proud tradition of selling to anyone, regardless of whether Russia approved or not. Then you had to go and get civilised.

We were doing just what everybody else was (but hey, how dared we - small countries ought to shut up and leave the room to the big players!).

The difference is that we were so stupid to believe the American and French fairy-tales about a new, better world and we stopped selling - thus losing our traditional markets which were quickly filled with French, German, American and Russian products

This:

People are saying the UN is worthless because several of its members have a staunch anti-Israel stance, and because there is apparently, criticism of Israel in certain resolutions, maybe a bit too much. I react by saying that it's daft to think the UN as a whole is anti-Israel, if that were the case then the UN could've staged an invasion now, because it has a reason and a cause now. But it doesn't, and that's where you reacted about 6 Arab nations having invaded them, and that that's somehow representative of the UN as a whole.

It works in two directions, lad.

Does not in any way counter this:

Ecofarm
It's not a conspiracy. It's just a few terrorist states and EU sympathizers promoting dozens of bogus wrist-slaps.

And nor does it excuse this statement:

Cato
If you're going to blame the organisation for this, you have to blame all of them

Which I countered with this:

That's not true. I have to blame the US for the anti-Israel crap that goes on in the UN??

As it would be (rationally) impossible to put blame on every single country for every single thing the UN does, the statement above is ridiculous.

Why did you even quote me in your response?

Are you seriously attempting to contend that someone thinks 100% of the UN is anti-Israel? Who, where? Show me.

I think noone made this claim and it's a strawman. Hey is for horses, not debates.
