I know what you're trying to say, but didn't you just commit the same offense of ignorance that he did with your generalization?It's probably enough to say you're pissed and block him, and then let it be.

i love how everyone automatically clowns on the US. the human rights council let plenty of countries do all sorts of atrocities, but love to concentrate on the USA. it's bs. I'm not surprised this happened.

Yep, Obama is going to sit down the the leaders of these countries and convince them not to hate Israel, or not to be bribed into hating Israel, and they'll all skip around hand-in-hand bringing human rights to everyone...

It was about time. The ridiculous joke of a council accepted countries that don't even comprehend the most basic ideas about human rights to not only be members of it, but also preside it (for instance Lybia a few years ago). Western European countries foolishly and cowardly watched the US being humiliated by Islamofascists states in the council.I also propose that the US definitely get out of the United Nations, I don't see why my tax money should finance a tribune whose main job is US-bashing.

I voted for Kerry. So did most of the people I know. He took my county by a 40-point margin. Go ahead, tell a whole city we made the wrong choice.So answer the question, who did YOU vote for?

You should probably think about investing in gold and silver in these troubled times. Gold and silver can be a good hedge against economic volatility as long as you're not doing a leveraged trade. You may wish to invest in the gold ETF (GLD) or the silver ETF (SLV) in a non-margin account. This is the least expensive way to invest. If you feel a need to to take delivery of your metals be extra cautious about who you buy from. Check the Better Business Bureau for complaints, ratings, and adviseries. Also check RipoffReport.com for complaints and read how or if they were handled.
