why is it when it comes to countries disobeying UN directives, america steps right in, but when it comes to america fulfilling its obligations (eg. paying its way), it ignores the UN totally? why is that?
*edit* some how i dont think that iran is supplying aid to iraq, they fought a savange an bitter 8 year war. as for the terrorists, you can thank the american military for their efforts. im sure thousands of possible terrorists were 'inspired' by the war in iraq. wasnt the talk about nuclear tests anyway, and not terrorists and aid?

What the hell? The United States pays 22% of the UN budget.

Where are your facts?
What you think does not null the truth.

No, in a word.
There have always been and always will be disasters. They're a fact of life. People try to see order in chaos with the idea of divine intervention.
**** happens, kids. That's all there is to it. There's no invisible man in the sky trying to get you.

I think he probably meant that:
http://www.globalpolicy.org/finance/docs/kofi99-1.htm
The U.S. refuses to pay a backlog of 1 billion because particularly the Republican party wants certain changes in the way the U.N. works. There's tons of hits on this subject, and the main point is that the U.S. doesn't meet its obligations to the U.N. because it wants to.
The U.S. has a point in certain areas certainly (like reimbursement for U.S. military involvement) but it still gives the U.S. the image of one that doesn't meet its obligations.

Resurecting this thread.
I watched a documentary the other night called "countdown to armageddon" and it has me intrigued, the book of revelations spoke of the 4 horsemen etc, everything the 4 horseman can do is happening near enough, predictions made in the bible and book of revelations are happening, who knows about the anti christ, could be anyone if he exists. The gulfstream getting cooler because of global warming melting the ice caps into it could freeze everything, super volcanoe in america could destroy america theoretically with a dust cloud. Its all scary stuff how its happening, the pieces of the jigsaw are coming together, im watching everything now.

But don't you guys think that the end is coming nearer ? I think so, cause check out all the natural disasters, AIDS, global warming ... everything just seems to get worse, more problems, more deaths ... it just seems that everything is getting worse in this world ... I think it's going to go on like this, and we are going to destroy ourselves ...

Well, unlike nation to nation nuclear war, that is a possible scenario IMO. However, I'm not sure if it will end the world.
The end of humanity is, as far as our collective knowledge goes, no closer or farther than it was on any other date. We are ignorant of our own lifespan in the universe.

According to this article, humanity may be wiped out at anytime soon by a nearby supernova-in-the-making.
It's always a good time to tell your family and friends how much you love them.

And your point is... what? That you were a real tool for a really long time?
DriftKing did exactly what he was supposed to do - he searched and found an existing thread on his topic, then added his relevant post to the bottom. Got a problem with that?

It all depends on who you talk to.
There are some Christian purists out there that rattle off scriptures pointing out that we are in the end of times.They take their scripture,tie it to a current event,then,OMG,the world is going to end,hurry up and get right with God is what they say.
Me personally,if we are in the end of times,so be it.There isn't a 🤬 thing anyone on this planet can do about it,except get right with God,if you so believe.
Time will tell.

We've been in the end times since . . . . . well since forever.
Every civilization has its mythology of some apocolyspe, and every loony tune in town is always predicting the end just around the corner on the calendar. When that time passes uneventfully, they cite new evidence, new study, or new reading. Usually they just want your money. You know, to help spread the word and save more people. Aliens, comets, Jesus, whoever, will collect the worthy and smite the unworthy.
There are no end times, except for that really cool restaurant where little expense has been spared to give the impression that no expense has been spared.

The Neanderthals still rule from England to Spain to Israel to Siberia.
Nubian Egypt stills guards its pyramids.
Classical Greece and Sparta run well maintained Olympic games.
Carthage owns the Mediterranean.
Aren't the walls of Troy so fine?
The Roman Empire stands above the known world like a Colossus.
The Mayans yet run an efficient Empire in the America's.
The Third Reich is still controlling destiny from some place in Ultima Thule.
Yes, it's true. Our civilization is the mightiest ever and can never, ever end because, well, it just can't. See, we spare no expense to maintain our infrastructure and institutions. Our children are the healthiest and smartest on the planet. Our army has spread over the planet to subjugate the inferior and weak who somehow have the resources the we rightfully should control according to our finest business models. It's all those other jerks who deserve to suffer and die so that we may preen and boast.
So when some fool cautions you that all is not well, it's always safe to ignore and look into the mirror until that smug feeling of pride and contentment returns and reflects your full magnificence.

Not what was meant at all.
Yes, civilizations rise and fall all the time, perhaps by conquest and absorption, through strife, moral decay, whatever.
Civilization, however, does not.
That is the prophecy of "end times," the end of civilization itself. Not just "as we know it," but. . . The End. Poof. Gone. Buh-Bye.
