Irony

Nothing better than a UN conference in a country where free speech doesnt exist.

basically, the other countries should quit complaining about american control. usa should just say take it or leave it.

the countries making the biggest noise make up the whos who in democracy and freedom.

i think its time for the UN to dissolve. its just a wasteful organization.

Agreed, but

what about the constant covert monitoring of your internet usage, cell/land phone conversations from carnivore, echelon and the patriot act? Please, no "I have nothing to hide" type replies. It's about privacy.

Good grief, sounds like the Bush...

regime.

Every time Bush speaks, his nose gets longer.

Politicians

Guess who said ?We are all going to have to rethink how we deal with [an uncensored internet], because there are all these competing values ? Without any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function, what does it mean to have the right to defend your reputation??
