I'm for the UN Security Council, and various commissions and agencies, but I'm not in favor of the General Assembly doing crap like this.
Like when a UN forum on Racism keeps calling Zionism racist but won't label movements like Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah or Arab Nationalism as racist. Nor will they call out and attack Saharan and Sub-Saharan slavery.
So Germany isn't reunited, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Russia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic don't have free multiparty elections now?
The pushing of democracy in the Cold War, along with a healthy cultural push from film, tv, radio and music helped spur the end of one party rule in Eastern Europe.
So in effect what the Russian Minister said the VOA and BBC in the 60s through 90s was an act of aggression.
His body guards came out and gave interviews. You know the guys in the best position to dish out dirt and make a buck off him.
They all said he wasn't a child molester, he was shy but did date adult women. He just had a hard time acting like an adult. The bodyguards liked working for him, they had fun with the boss, doing stuff like letting him drive when they went through drive throughs just to freak out the people working.
While I did believe some of the hype about him in the 1990s, when I read what the body guards said, I figured if anyone knew he was doing bad things, it was them.
No, American Indians did not lose their culture or freedoms. Are American Indians as a people better off now than they were 200 years ago in the US? Absolutely.
Are they better off in Mexico or Peru than they were 500 years ago? No, not really. The American Indian Wars in the second half of the 19th century were generally low intensity conflicts with low casualty rates. I know the western Indian Wars because thats what I did in grad school and where I grew up, your mileage varies when you look at the eastern Indian Wars from oh, 1750 to 1840.
American Plains Indians retain their religion, if they are interested, we had to take a year of Sioux Religion in a public high school. If their religion or culture were dead, that wouldn't be the case.
Example, Avril Looking Horse is the 19th Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, they didn't lose that did they? Alaska Natives kept large chunks of their land and that which was taken was paid for which lead the Native Corporations.
Tribes that didn't go to war with the US government in the 19th century did get favorable positions in regards to assistance and had a better shot at keeping their lands, look at the Crow, Hopi and Mandan for examples of that.
Plains Indians tended towards "war loving douche", never forget they were a horse culture first and foremost from 1700 on.
I'm an American Indian. 1/4 Prairie Band Potawatomi and I grew up on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
American Indians have been Vice President of the United States, Senators, cabinet members, generals and business people.
Saying things like "they are drunks that live in casinos" is flat out ignorance. American Indians in the US work, pay taxes, serve in the military and generally are successful. They don't just get "tax benefits and cheap cigarettes."
Not only are you anti-Semitic you are a racist against American Indians. I bet you could go on all day about Blacks and Asians too.
The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Voice of America, The Washington Post, the BBC, ITN, The Times of India, Time and most British newspapers use Burma for the name.
The Saudis, UAE or Qatar have strong interests in Iran not going nuclear, but military computer science stuff is going to be Israel, Russia, China or the US, my money is on Israel in this one.
My motto for Alaska is - "Alaska, it can kill you", we have hundreds of bears in Anchorage alone. Right here in the city, 150-200 brown bears and 500-700 black bears.
We have wolves in the Bush, hell even the moose can go wild and try to kill you.
I'm in Alaska and I've yet to see a candidate from any party up here with anything gun-control as an issue.
The same went for where I grew up in South Dakota, yes even the Democrats hunt, own guns and support gun rights.
The anti-gun movement in the US is pretty much a northeastern, rust belt and California movement. There are some pockets of it in places like Portland and Seattle too, but overall the non-California west, Great Plains, Midwest and the entire South are pro-gun rights, even in the Democrats.
8.0 was better, 8.1 was pretty stable but still memory leaked like a sieve, especially if you were running file sharing on it, I had a G3 tower with AppleShare IP and 8.0-9.1 and it was a pain. It'd run for about 16-18 hours and then I'd have to reboot it because of the memory leak.
I got a copy of Rhapsody5.6 as soon as I could and slapped that on it, glory to much faster network IO and no more memory leaks.
I used Windows 95 when it first came out, like a week after launch, a buddy was dual booting that and OS 2 Warp, I stuck with my Mac but Windows was less prone to lock ups than 7.5.x was at the same time.

Air America, the radio network, was a left-wing radio network in the US.
It was a CIA fronted aviation company in the 1960s.
I think you are looking for Voice of America.
They do alot better at trying that they did from, oh infinity to 1991.

Hard to get a UAV under the ocean, and we just haven't heard the reports of the bunker hovering UAVs over Navy and Army depots.
It's a TLA UAV if it's anything.

Everything I know about marketing I've learned from Mad Men.
Don Draper, Roger Sterling and Bert Cooper don't like stunt advertising gimmicks, so neither do I.
Seriously though, this kind of a stunt pisses me off, it's cheap, weak and I won't buy from them again.
You mean back in the days of Jon Katz, the Matrix, Goatse and Hot Grits?
Heh, its a picnic now that the feral ones all go and hang out on /b/

I'm also a damned center-right Likud loving Jew.
In the case of a nuclear weapons program, you want to destroy the facilities to make the weapons, not just knock out power lines.

The government of Burma doesn't have that much experience in computer science though.
Nope, Israel.

"Like I said: is situation in USA really so bad that you need armed populace just so they can protect themselves from hordes of criminals?"
I'm armed because I like to go outside and there are goddamned bears, wolves and pissed off moose where I live.
I live in Alaska, it's still the wild west.
My motto for Alaska is - "Alaska, it can kill you", we have hundreds of bears in Anchorage alone. Right here in the city, 150-200 brown bears and 500-700 black bears.
We have wolves in the Bush, hell even the moose can go wild and try to kill you.
Half a million people died in London this summer?
No, then don't say it's as bad as Rwanda.
So there were not Prisoner of War camps before the Geneva conventions? Bull. Combatants have used POW camps for centuries.

The longest existing democracy is Iceland - 930 to 1799, then 1845 to present.
30 generations is 600-900 years, there was never stability of that type in the Roman Republic or Roman Empire.
Four to six generations of stability in the western Roman Empire perhaps and maybe in the East, but never even 10 generations of stability.

7.1.x through 7.6 just flat out sucked.
