"BB, Ringer, and other giant intellects criticizing the UN------"
Only compared to some of the comments being made by you.
"5) BB et al.---with your customary razor-sharp logic, you have managed to miss the point---again. Well done. Good job. I'm not risking my life to bring progress to the Mideast. But I'm also not criticizing the UN, which has members now doing exactly that.
Frustrated, impotent people--pun not aimed at you, BB--- criticize those who help."
Ron, I see you criticising the US all the time, yet YOU are not risking your life...
"6) BB---Cut and paste , when accompanied by thinking, is acceptable. You unfortunately fall down on the last part. "
Care to give any examples, or are you claiming that bring up a point for discussuion, to hear OTHER points of view, is NOT worthwhile?
