| Re: stupid un said by Maarvin :Nonsense! Most of the countries represented at the UN are third world countries. Agreed,Most don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

A telephone.? Most don't have electricity or any moden day appliances.Thatch huts in a jungle, May..may be equipped with tin cans and string for the tribe elders.said by Maarvin : Much of the world remained with 18th and 19th century technology if they have any at all. Exactly! Were it not for the US, they would still be in 18th-19th century. said by Maarvin :They have no right to impose their backward standards on us. It is OUR technology. They may ask to use it only under our rules. They have no right to impose their rules on what is rightfully ours.  It's that pickle smoker coffi annon,who is to blame.F*ck him and the UN horse he rode in on.

That doesn't make them any less entitled to have a say in matters that concern them.
Poor people are allowed to participate in the democratic process in America. Poor countries are are given the same liberty on UN councils. I see no problem here. | |

| OH Goodie! another UN discussion on BBR How may times are we going to hash out this old one.
Let's get it all over with now, and lock the thread. It's just too nice of a weekend outside here on the East coast to go on with this crap.
Someone will say the "Rednecks" in Washington won't do it because they're to US-centro. Another person will spend about 10,000 keystrokes arguing that the ITU is totally separate from the security counsel, and no matter how many times the opponents to this idea (turning the internet over to ITU) say they understand that, Mr. "ITU is not the SC" will hammer away at the same point until the post count tops 100.
Then, when it all FINALLY comes to a crescendo of bullshit, the discussion will be nothing but a "I love Bush VS, Bush is the Antichrist" festival of mudslinging.
Let's face it, the US is not turning anything over to the UN any time in the near future, so why argue about it.
I say enjoy the weekend, go grab a beer, sit in the sun, and soak up the warm weather. Winter is only a few months away.

It's all a load of hooey anyways. I just love hearing "The U.N. can't do anything right!" or "over my dead body" comments. Absolutely hilarious. Great regurgitation of what's already been spoon fed via talk shows...can't someone have an original thought on this subject? | |

I'll tell you how: why not just argue that the grass is green and the sky is blue? these are both indisputable facts, but do they get to the heart of the issue at all? what is the objection to the UN taking control...is it steeped in the technical, or the national? is it fear of a foreign body in control or something else? posting "the UN sucks" really doesn't answer those questions.
not that I'm a W fan by any stretch of the imagination, but the other sides bleating about issues nonrelated to this topic is just as facetious. | |

| Re: OH Goodie! another UN discussion on BBR I don't disagree.
However I fell ICANN has not done anything wrong to justify the swap of control. Had they pulled a verisign and I would say it needs to be changed.
but until then technically they should not be disrupting the core dns servers and said equipments operation, even if they wanted to shift control.

| The ITU is anti-American !
Because.It is run by a liberal/communist who used to hold a high position in the Chinese government.
It's time to get in touch with our state representative's and the Whitehouse itself to express our beliefs as to why the UN terrorists should NOT have any control of the internet.And to please bomb the UN out of existence if they keep pushing the issue for control of it.I'm pretty sure a 4 star general with the right security clearances and proper back channels.Can launch a missile with the push of a button some where to get the UN to STFU.

They don't have to play, we will still continue to do what is right. It will show what the U.N truly stands for.
The moral of the story is, nothing you said had to do with the subject at hand. As for myself, I don't want the U.N taking my rights away. If you don't think that will happen, take a look at the countries that control what people say, read and write. | |

| Re: The truth is... Well First of all, im not American.
,But i support that the 'control' of the main root-servers or whathaveyou, should remain with the U.S.
why? you ask.
simple, they invented it! its a fact, kudos to them.
its their ingenuity, their brainyness, their intelligence, i dont think ANY other country would 'give-up' the control, if they invented this technology! no way, it would react the exact same way the U.S. has.
and who is the U.N anyway? just a bunch of countries that have their own interest first, ahead of anything else.
the countries in the U.N. are just intimidated with the words biggest superpower becomming more powerfull than ever. but it is inevitable. so what. the U.S. is not Iraq, or Iran that we, the rest of the world have to worry.
but i dont think it is necessarily safe in the hands of the U.S. namely, the FBI and the CIA.
they are without a doubt, the biggest and most powerful snoops in the world, its their job.
what do people with power want most?
more power!
nobody with power will voluntarily relinquish that power.
BUT.....the thing is, so they have control, so what???
what will they do.....shut down the internet? never gonna happen. and its not like it cant be built back up anyway.
this is like Atlas carrying the Globe, which is getting bigger and bigger.
in fact, if anything goes wrong with those root-servers, they will be held solely responsible and liable.
anyway, i predict, in the future, im thinking 10 years or so it WILL be shifted to the U.N. or something like it.
it dosent matter jack shit to me anyway where it is.
live and let live i say. | |
