I would suggest Las Vegas. The UN could build an extravagant building (neon lights!), open a casino and hire international entertainment acts. After a day of stressful diplomatic negotiating many UN delegates could find comfort in the legal brothels, which is great for business.

Are you trying to defend this twit (Nancy Pelosi) ? She is an absolute joke politically. She is as partisan as they come. She used her power to run the country amuck while jamming socialist bills down our throats. She is as left as they come and she knows damn well elections matter. She just knows her time is coming.

She did nothing to unify the two parties and now she knows the momentum is moving away from her agenda and that people are seeing her for the empty suit/dress that she is.

I was just referring to that statement, not to her own deeds or lack thereof.

For every nut or nitwit on the left I can point to one on the right, neither side has a monopoly on stupid, the Birthers along with the Beckheads, Dittoheads and Palin Sheeple are ample proof that the right has just many issues with people losing touch with reality as the left does.
As the saying goes those that live in glass houses should not throw rocks.
As for the UN proposal,I think it is taking their fight to save the planet too far and ridiculous in the extreme, that said I do agree we need to stop destroying the planet for our own temporary gains and money, we are not the owners only the caretakers.

You understand don't you (but then maybe you don't) that corporations are people joined together for a common purpose. That is why they are treated as a person for legal purposes. Same way with labor unions, or any other corporate form of association.

In short, these 'scientists' believe the Earth can be considered a living entity in that it reacts, over a long perion of time, to any changes introduced into its environment. Its paganism plain and simple. These nut jobs believe in the Earth goddess Gaia, from which the theory gets its name. To them, humans are a plague that is polluting the Earth with our pressence and they think the population needs to be culled every once in a while. That is why they support policies that kill millions of people, such as banning DDT which has resulted in the deaths of millions of Africans to preventable diseases.
Exactly, polluting and destroying the Earth is no different from reliving yourself in your own food and corporations have been doing that to us for years. It hasn't hurt me in any way unless you consider how I and other Americans are curiously satisfied with ingesting crap.

The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to "dominate and exploit" — to the point that the "well-being and existence of many beings" is now threatened.


UN document would give 'Mother Earth' same rights as humans

Sorry if you think this does not apply to you personally ROFL
And the Left sure wants this story buried. (And I can certainly understand why...) LOL! What idiots! And constantly being exposed! (I posted a similar story today and instead of merging it here, someone quickly worked to get the whole thread deleted.) Ah, yes. I guess I can understand why the Left wants to sweep some of their loonier ideas under the rug. Do they not realize how idiotic they sound until they see it in print?)
