Wait... say what?

Dude, work on your communication skills. Seriously.

As soon as you have the people skills down, then we can talk

[talisman]

As soon as you have the people skills down, then we can talk

Positive or negative, at least people can make sense of what I'm talking about.

[line-em-up]

At least we know who our traitors are. All of the NAY's above. What are these people thinking?

[racrguy]

There are others in here that have good people skills that are essentially saying the same thing. Are you going to try an ad hom against them as well?

A link was posted, it was titled accurately, and a list of who voted for and against... What more do you want princess?

Aside from the link and stuff you've posted, do you have any idea how treaties actually work in American politics?

Uhg. We aren't "blocking" the treaty. We are simply not taking part in it. Completely changes the nature of everything you are talking about. How old are you?

Not taking part in it is the same as blocking it when it comes to our citizens and our rights. It changes NOTHING in the nature of what I am talking about. I am most likely older than you, since you asked.

Have you not noticed that our current regime does not really care much about our constitutional rights? Yes I am aware that no treaty can take away our constitutional rights, but I also know that the Messiah would not hesitate to try and he would use this as another means. Take off your blinders and wake up.

Blocking something is taking action against it; and the Senate obviously has no power over the UN. When you don't use the proper words to describe something it makes it look like you don't know what you're talking about. Which might be the case. First that ridiculous all over the map explanation about immigrants last week and now this. The reason I ask your age is you lack either the maturity or education to meaningfully articulate yourself. I guess I have my answer.

The "nays" should be executed.

Poor Rodney.
