U.N International Day of Peace


Posted: Sep 20, 2012

Don't know how many of you know about this day, Sept. 21, being the International Day of Peace, but thought maybe tomorrow, on this board, we could acknowledge it with some peaceful thoughts, words...

The International Day of Peace was passed by the United Nations Generaly Assembly in 2001, for the day to be "Devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and all peoples."

Many people also don't know that Helen Keller was very active politically, a socialist, who spent over 40 years of her life working for the civil rights movement, womens sufferage, etc.  Here is one of my favorite quotes, please post yours :)

"The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heros, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes from each honest worker."

Helen Keller

~ Because it takes a village ~

Donald Trump Creating International RumbleJun 30, 2015
Not that Miss Universe matters squat to me, but it is notable that Mexico has pulled out of the competition, NBC has refused to air it and others are deeply offended by Trump's bumbling inappropriate analogies and accusations.   I truly hope the Republicans get it together enough to declare a candidate with more political acumen than this.  Surely, the people of the United States have not become this coarse and ugly, not to mention just plain naive and incorrect as to believe hi ...

Obamatrade Hands Over U.S. Sovereignty To International PanelNov 06, 2015
New commission can make decisions without even notifying Congress. UNITED NATIONS Congress would be cut out of decisions impacting the national economy and laws under the terms of an international agreement President Obama has negotiated and intends to sign. The pact also essentially moves the national economy out from under the constraints of the U.S. Constitution. The administration on Thursday finally released the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global regulatory deal it h ...

International Climate Panel Cites Near Certainty On Warming,Aug 20, 2013
[In other words, my geology professor was 100% correct--40 YEARS AGO--in what he taught us was happening. Note that the GOP base has spent those 40 years internalizing the lies they adopted so completely that it is STILL insisting that almost 100% of scientists agree that, IF warming is happening, humans have nothing to do with it. How will we ever explain what we've done to our grandchildren?] Climate Panel Cites Near Certainty on Warming Tim Wimborne/Reuters A new report from ...

International Monetary Fund: Income Inequality Is Bad For Economic Growth.Nov 03, 2012
Income Inequality May Take Toll on Growth By ANNIE LOWREY WASHINGTON — Income inequality has soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and the recession has done little to reverse the trend, with the top 1 percent of earners taking 93 percent of the income gains in the first full year of the recovery. The yawning gap between the haves and the have-nots — and the political questions that gap has raised about the plight of the middle ...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions At Record High, International GoalDec 02, 2012
  Emissions continue to grow so rapidly that an international goal of limiting the ultimate warming of the planet to 3.6 degrees, established three years ago, is on the verge of becoming unattainable, said researchers affiliated with the Global Carbon Project. The new figures show that emissions are falling, slowly, in some of the most advanced countries, including the United States. That apparently reflects a combination of economic weakness, the transfer of some man ...

Inner Peace.Jul 08, 2014
I'm passing this on because it worked for me today. A doctor on TV said to have inner peace we should finish things we started, and we all could use more calm in our lives. I looked around my house to find things I'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Bailey's, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiuminun scriptins, an a box a chocletz.

Peace PrizeMar 22, 2011
Just another reason for me to believe that the Nobel Peace Prize is a complete joke.   I'll admit that I think the last line of the article is funny:  A message has been widely retweeted on Twitter today: "Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined."  Doh! The other part I like is that Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006. What?  I looked it up.  It's look like it's true. ...

Peace On EarthDec 25, 2016
There is pure evil on this board and throughout the radical liberal extremist communities who are propagating hate and bullying through the media, Hollywood, college campuses, etc. It's hard to believe that this evil and hatred exists. One can only imagine what would have happened if Republicans had exhibited this type of behavior when Barack Hussain Obama won in November 2008. Let us take this most sacred day and pray for peace on earth and good will toward men. Amen. ...

Rest In Peace Liz TaylorMar 23, 2011
Liz Taylor passed.  I was watching a show last night about "best movies of all time".   They named "Gone with the Wind" as the best.  I don't think there was a Liz Taylor movie. Then I heard about Ms. Taylor's passing today.  It made me kind of melancholy.  Remember when actors and actresses actually had to have talent?  They had to sing and dance and be able to ACT.  Today, it seems there is so much gratuitous sex and violence and a plethora o ...

According to a report from the Agence France Press agency this week President Obama did not win the confidence of a majority of the five member panel before being awarded the Nobel Committee's Peace Prize late last week. Even though the committee's secretary told the press on Friday that the committee's decision had been unanimous, it appears that the members of the committee have a different recollection of how the decision unfolded. The representatives of the Norwegian Conser ...

Obama Says It Is Now 'hard To Find A Path' On Israeli-Palestinian PeaceMar 22, 2015
In a fresh rebuke to Benjamin Netanyahu, President Barack Obama said the Israeli leader's pre-election disavowal of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict makes it "hard to find a path" toward serious negotiations to resolve the issue. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Obama also scolded Netanyahu over his remarks about Arab Israelis voting, making clear that the deep rift in relations between Israel and the United States, its most important ally, is not ending ...

Corporate Accountability International Or "When Do Groups Go Too Far?"May 21, 2010
This isn't quite political but I know I can get answers here.  Their slogan is "strengthening democracy by limiting corporate interference in national and international policy-making so that ordinary people can hold corporations accountable for their actions......' I just heard this on TV and decided to look them up. They want to retire Ronald McDonald because he "promotes unhealthy kids."  She showed up at the shareholder meeting and spoke against Ronald McDonald. When do ...
