let's face it -- all of these ideas suck... and the worst part is, they LOOK HORRIBLE -- and when it comes to marketing a cell phone/pda/mobile device, it just has to look cool. take for example motorola's razr, t-mobile's sidekick, and apple's line of ipods.
nokia, please make a product that doesnt look ridiculous to carry around. thanks.
Mod this guy 'ignorant arse'.
This guy's a f***ing !di0t.

Yes.
Second, the UN is ineffective because the US refuses to fund it
All nations have the right AND responsibility to refuse to fund specific activities which go contrary to its interests, including the US.
You're correct in saying that we have the right to refuse to fund the only organization that has any hope of solving international issues like world hunger, AIDS, and global warming, if it conflicts with our 'national interests'. I guess that means its okay to stand and watch as children starve, diseased people die, and the glaciers melt... because at least we've got our national interests! (read: oil). Do you even read what you write?
To put it in terms even an !di0t like you could understand...
It's certainly a wealthy man's right to not feed the starving children at his door, however, should he choose to not do so, he is an extremely asnine bastard.
Third, its the f*cking US's fault that the UN can't do things correctly... we veto every f***ing bill.
Uh huh... Everything. Right.
