Hmm, I obviously wasn't clear - I don't think that the current setup is fair or good, and I don't condole it or support it. But that doesn't change the facts.
Now, USA is in a position of control - there are no reasons (once again, I don't think that's a good thing) to give it up. UN is powerless in many more urgent issues; just look at the recent protests in Burma. I don't see any way in which it, or any other multinational organization could intervene to solve this problem.
This is an issue of start positions. The US was the first country that embraced internet on a global scale - next were European countries like UK, Germany and, of course, Japan. And as the old saying goes: first boy on the village bicycle has the longest lap. Of course, if that boy also happens to be the dominant Superpower, other villagers should just forget about their turn and go play with rocks or something.
obesity, of course - worst dieses in the history of the human race. (Obesity = combination of plaque, TB and AIDS on steroids).
But there is a way out!
Every time this new satellite spots a McDonald's or KFC opening somewhere in the world, USAF bombs it to obesity oblivion.
To me, this isn't surprising.. . Older people, like everyone else, have a need for social interaction. But as they grow older, they are less and less willing to go out and/or meet up in the traditional sense - bars, restaurants, etc. Soc. network are ideal for them - they are easy to use and through them, the older crowd can fulfill their basic human need without having to leave their home.
Anyway, if Facebook make just one mother stop complaining to her grown up children about not visiting - we should all rejoice!
And it's been like this since 2004/05. Although there are local portals that provide search engines, none of them can match Google results - counting those in Serbian. A few months ago, Google incorporated a Serbian Home page, a move that will only cement its position. But, I believe that the main reason for its success is in the fact that, although Cyrillic is the official alphabet, more than 80% of all content is written in a local variation of Latin alphabet(without the q,y,x,w and with 5 additional letters).
Yeah, screw those stupid ''low orbit'' lovers!
In fact, screw space in general. There are so many problems right here.
Let's spend all that money on feeding the hungry in the Third world. But, they'll just buy black tar heroin and AK47's, and then star a bunch of religious and tribal wars.
Screw them too!
I know! We should finance another ''Enterprise'' season - we will surely learn more form that entertaining yet informative show then from some silly ''space stations'' and ''laboratory modules''.
True, but have you considered this little-known biographical fact about Keanu:
In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall")
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000206/bio
This alone has to count at least like a PhD, right?
No, no, you got it all wrong.
You feeling sad only means that she destroyed the part that makes you happy. If you have a strange but persistent feeling that your brain is going to grow back, your rostral anterior cingulate and amygdala are a-okay!

I can even see the promotional campaign:
''Fighting humanity problems with JDAM's''

Are they going to look like Dynamo from the movie ''Running man''?
If not, I'm not interested.
In the military mind, two nukes(tanks, bombs, etc) are always better than one.

By that time, USA and Canada will be locked in a merciless war of attrition, and you would be hanged for spying - by the Gendarmerie Royale du Canada.

... lets not forget Keanu Reeves.
15 billion $ - the social network bubble keeps on growing...
