  • The UN serves as a forum for all countries of the world. If no privileges were given to the world's most powerful countries, they might just leave it, severaly reducing its use in the process.

    And? You can see powerful countries abusing veto powers and that in no way should be on the human rights councils. If these countries refuse to uphold global standards, they're not in, and can be prosecuted.

  • Spain’s economy minister, Carlos Cuerpo, said during a visit to London last November that the world’s richest countries needed to “be brave”, saying recent elections had shown citizens were demanding “redistribution of wealth”. A survey by Oxfam found that 86% of people supported paying for public services by “closing loopholes” that allow wealthy individuals and large corporations to use tax havens. The government was approached for comment.

    I'm a citizen and I support this

  • It needs a bit more definition, a beard balm and comb, as well. imo. Seconding lotion, or massage in some on wet skin, then pat dry, if you feel lotion alone is too greasy. But I'm in agreement with experimenting.

  • Opportunities that can cost life and permanent disabilities, physical and mental.

    Back before I stopped partying, I was out with some women friends, pretty high on some dank dank (I wasn't driving) and we stopped at the gas station for gas, restroom, and sodas. I was the first out of the store and there was the saddest looking, really haggard old guy outside, and we exchanged hellos. It was plain to see her was in some sort of emotional distress, and I asked if I could be of any assistance. He said no and burst into tears, telling me he'd done horrible things during his service overseas and wasn't allowed to talk about them, during the first Gulf invasion. All those years later. He said he'd have taken his life, if not for his wife and adult kids.

    The rest of that evening wasn't fun for me. I asked to be taken home.

  • I had a buddy who earnestly tried to get kicked out of the Coast Guard, supposedly the most notorious for dishonerable discharge. Rather than court marshalling or even taking a rank, they kept promoting him until his term was up, hoping to retain him. He was really good at his job. This was some 30ish years ago and just anecdotal, but it doesn't exactly inspire my confidence that any branch has any integrity.
