[FactsOfLife]

A global summit scheduled for later this month will look into whether to place the web under some form of UN control.

of course I expect the same people that protest the WTO to be there rioting in full force.

when they destroy property they cross then line, that's when.

is it really that hard to differentiate between a riot and a civil protest?

Whenever the US or UN is involved.

In that first pic you can't see the front of the crowd where the cops are probibly spraying the crowd with mace. The UN is a joke now, it's all the US. Look at what happend with iraq, The US will do whatever it wants no matter what anybody says. If you stand in between the US and oil, than you are going down.

even though we alienated the entire world, its good oil prices went down 1/10 of a cent.

It would be interesting to see exactly what is the UN talking about controlling. Could it be something that prevents China from blocking anything that has a link to something that isn't backed by the government? (ex. A good friend of mine who resides in Beijing right now can not use google, for google refused to do a special google.prc that only linked information that the government of China liked).

I think the fact that this report is coming from Fax News, speaks a lot for its one sidedness and complete anti-UN statements.

Never said that. (Waiting for you to again take this simple and straight foward remark the wrong way)

imho there are no major news stations that dont stretch facts or are unbiased
