Posted by michael on from the alternate-side-of-the-orbit-rules-are-in-effect dept.

The NY Times has a good story about a push for international action, via the UN, on the growing problem of space debris. Includes a pretty picture of a space shuttle window that got nailed by a fleck of paint.

    Smallpox was taken care of, mostly.

    The UN defended South Korea from 1950-now, but since the mid 50s it has been the US doing the work there except for the negotiations.

    The UN screwed up Somalia and Bosnia.

    The UN talks about things while people die and are critical of nations when they do act.

    It's called an OPINION and just because it doesn't match yours doesn't mean it's flamebait. 90% of what he says is TRUE, but you just toss it to the side as flamebait because you're too fucking naive to see the truth.

    Ahh slashdot, where using an old, obsolete language is the difference between +5 (Funny) and -1 (Offtopic). Maybe my SIG should be some witty COBOL code which draws a bird or something.
