I think the best thing we can do is to simply abolish the First Amendment

Christianity should also be our state religion! All for the sake of our young people.
"I think the best thing we can do for our own safety at this point and the morals of the country and everything else is to simply abolish the First Amendment. It's doing a powerful lot more harm than it is good. It's letting the enemy know everything. It's running all the junk to be available to everybody under the excuse of free speech. It's ruining our young people. A little bit of censorship would be fine."
Haha... it's funny how without the first amendment he wouldn't have been able to say that.

actually... those last two quotes are fairly true. Granted, they're true for the wrong reasons.... but true nonetheless.
The UN is more or less relegated to helpy-helperton status like the guy said. They support us when we agree, and when we disagree we pretty much ignore them. Though, I'd question the intelligence of anyone who majors in 'social studies' for three years and doesn't know who the Secretary General is. And the UN recently HAS been more or less run, or at least heavily influenced by theives.
Haha...nowhere near as bad as the theives that are running America... but theives nonetheless. If they weren't, then you wouldn't have people dressed in fine silks giving ornate speeches at the UN; you'd have people like Aung San Su Chi getting respect and help for Burmese problems. Not Kofi Annan telling people how great it is to have a new pope.

The UN is basically an extension of Europe. Other nations, including the US (we're just finding this out in recent years) have absolutely no say in matters. Its the Euro way or no way.
The first amendment if anything needs to allow more freedom. Censorship is highly overrated. If Christian parents are that scared of whats on TV, turn the TV off. If some evening station wants to show tits or bush, then they should. If there's a movie and someone says 'fuck', then let them. By having the actor say 'fuck' but say something else, people are able to pick up on what it actually means.
People have a right to what they have to say and do. Acting on it is another matter. Reading a pro Al-Qaeda website shouldn't be against the law. Acting on it should be. Reading your shit and deciding what to do with it is 100% up to the people, not big brother.
Also for Christian views, as a Catholic, it fucking sickens me when other Christians force views on others. My thoughts is that its not up to us to dictate morality; it is God's decision and His decision alone. If gay people really are against God's will then they will find that out after they die. If someone fucks before marriage (like I have), then its not up to society to tell me its wrong. If I committed a serious sin, I will know about it when I die.
So there.

So matlock's running on empty in the creativity department, eh?
Except for us; we're not smart enough for "locale" and need to be told it's the "location of the newspaper" so we don't forget?

The UN is good but it needs modernising, it's a different world now. The lead-members veto needs to go.
