When U.N. Diplomats ATTACK!

[Kontiki]

Fez, the fact that you don't see that they are related to each other makes it all the more funny.

Or, maybe I'll change it so that I'm quoting you saying "Menem is a great statesman and person" and then, four days later, claiming that he is a crook and that you hate him.

Kontiki, when I found Menem took that payment from the Iranians, I changed my opinion real fast.

Fez wants the US do to the work in Iraq, not the UN.

Well not exactly. I want the coalition doing the work, including the US. But not the UN. Maybe I should of been more clear?

Yeah I guess I lived in Latin America too long.

You are an ass, Sava. Plain and simple.

That's fine - nothing wrong with changing your opinion about someone or something. But when you go from one absolute extreme to the other, at least one of your positions has to be grossly mis- or uninformed.

Unless you radically change your tactics and take some time to really think things through before you type, you're going to be toast in university - especially if you really are going to major in IR like you say you will.

double post

Kontiki, I didn't go from one extreme to the other. I just abandoned any opinion on Argentinean politics. I am what you will call "non engage" in the situation here. I have no idea what can save this country. If given time, maybe I can form something.

Gonna be toast in university? Get real and stop insulting people you don't even know.

There's some serious lack of understanding here....

Fez, just about everyone would agree that going from saying "Menem (or anyone or anything) is a great statesman and a great leader" to "Menem (or anyone or anything) is a crook" and "I hate Menem (yada yada)" is going from one extreme to another.

As for insulting you, I did no such thing. Again, the fact that you think I did shows why my point is valid. You cannot make baseless assertions and completely radicalize things when you write papers in university in general, and certainly not in IR. You need to be able to thoroughly support your positions, which means that your going to need to be well-informed on pertinent issues before you take a side. If you don't, you will be toast.

i was under the impression that the UN did a good job running East Timor after the independence. Was i wrong? did the UN strip and loot the country while the internation media was reporting that the UN led the to democracy?

Hey Kontiki, your stupid misquotes of me in your signature should be removed.

Ok, I think it may be time for us to teach Fez what the word "misquote" means.

Misquote means to not quote properly. If someone said:

"I love most people."

and you quoted them as saying:

"I love everyone".

Then it is a misquote.

However, if your quote IDENTICALLY, LETTER FOR LETTER matches what the person said, then it is not a misquote.

"I love everyone".

My, thats very open of you. I would find it difficult to love everyone like you do, especially ppl I hate.

ok mr. facist homosexual spaniard argentinian. theres no way the powers that be would let you become an american based on each singular character trait described above. now imagine if you combine them all.

so stop trying so hard to be something you could never be, the american you idealize but cant even relate to.

[Sirotnikov]

Pffff.

I don't recall Fez saying anything nasty about you. No reason to turn it into slum fest

[The Mad Monk]

I think it says a great deal that as soon there was a small hiccup in the normal order of things, the UN crowd shed its veneer of civilization and fell into lawlessness. Really demonstrates the caliber of person working there.

[MRT144]

Siro, when someone takes shots at my countrymen i stand up for them. Especially when it questions their loyalty and patriotism to america through their misguided view of world politics. no more no less.

[Sava]

thank you MRT... that's another thing about Americans that people like Fez will never understand. Despite our differences, we stick up for one another.
