Then those US fighter pilots that were shot at on a daily basis by AAA\SAM sites weren't US citizens?
|
Working in conjunction with Resolution 678 and 687, you forgot that. Of course they were American citizens, but they were working under U.N. juristiction; a restricted authority. So trying to pull a self-defence clause out of such an incident is flawed because it conflicts with article 51 of the charter.

=gbull=[L]=]Dont be stupid, human lives are worth more than money and so what they did is NOTHING like what we are doing.

The moral card has no leverage on the logic you have used. And while I agree with you that human lives are worth more than money, it does negate the validity of my comparison.

And those pilots are american citizens FIRST and UN soldiers SECOND.

While that might be true in the broader scheme, it is not true in context. They were American soldiers working for the U.N. and under the U.N.'s authority. This means they are bound to U.N. authority stipulations, just like every other Coalition soldier in first Gulf War-- including Article 51. Which is why the self-defence clause doesn't apply in that argument.

Or better yet, you can pay your membership dues to date, which you still haven't done, and leave of your own accord.

The money for operations and foreign aid does not cover your membership fees. Just like it doesn't for Canada, or England, or France. Pay up.
|
How about we just take it out of their parking tickets and call it even. Either that or just call Ted and all his buddies, he'll pony up for the "good" cause again, I'm sure.

As for the money you owe, you're wrong again. The money for operations and foreign aid does not cover your membership fees. Just like it doesn't for Canada, or England, or France. Pay up.

The United States funds a fifth of the United Nations, if not more, so when did our "membership fee" become more than that? Is 20% of all UN funds not enough for you?
It's too much for me. It's all a waste of money on an obsolete organization that accomplishes absolutely nothing in today's day and age.
It's time for us to say, "Screw the UN," take the 20% of all UN funds that we provide and leave.

We owe no money. It is the simple. Imagine if we never joined the UN. Between 1850 and 1950 there was 70 wars in Europe. How many where there after the US became a super power? 0.

LOL.
I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

Citizens of a country pump billions into the economy of a country.. with all that money being put towards good use, I guess we should be free from paying taxes.
Great logic there. Here's a free hint. There has been no agreement with America and the UN to substitute its membership fees with any other sort of consideration. Therefore it does not matter if you single-handedly fund everything the UN does. There is no arrangement to defer those fees, so you pay them.
