'ingie Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Tibet? Congo? Iraq? Iran? Peel? I am sure there are plenty more places that Human Rights are not honored i'm just curious jack ' but why did you edit out the bit you had where you said you supported the celebration of the declaration of human rights?

Jack Meoff Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 was about to add it here Ingie, as I re-read it and felt it sounded sarcastic. I agree with 'Ingie in that these Organisations should be helped, we enjoy such a high degree of life here compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Perhaps a link to THIS before the event might have been of more interest to forum users than a simple declaration about the 'success' of an event that the vast majority were not even aware of.

bluemonday Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i get the impression that none of the detractors above understand what the declaration of human rights actually is. Wrong. If you bother to read through the various topics, you'll see a lot of the regular posters have an acute awareness of the declaration and the issues.

bendytoy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Perhaps a link to THIS before the event might have been of more interest to forum users than a simple declaration about the 'success' of an event that the vast majority were not even aware of. There was an article in the Courier preceding the event? But from some of the kneejerk smartarse/negative comments on here, what would wider promotion of the event have achieved? An opportunity for you guys to slag it off before as well as after? Jeez.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bother to read through the various topics, you'll see a lot of the regular posters have an acute awareness of the declaration and the issues. so... as i explicitly said "the detractors above" are you therefore implying "all the detractors above understand the declaration of human rights, but have no wish to support people celebrating it" ? that's just a question, not an accusation... if that implication is true... i feel perfectly justified in my post, if false i have no idea why they would want to undermine this event with such facetious posts you seem to also infer that it's my duty to read and learn about everyone here on this forum before making a post on one single thread. it is not my duty to do such a thing, and it would be hypocritical to ever judge someone's statement based on who they are and what they have said in the past... all i have done on this thread is to say "hey, it was quite a good day actually, don't knock it... and here's what we were dancing and playing music for" and you seem to have a problem with that... if i've at any time "preached to the converted" then i would expect those converted to be only too happy to hear such preaching, since it's about humanity and compassion for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"humanity"... or at least it only serves to undermine the whole "one world" concept I'm sorry that you feel that a forum with over 9,000 members - the majority of them local - was an unsuitable place to advertise the event. I'm sure that the Courier - an advertising rag that travels directly from the letter box to the bin in most households - was far more appropriate. The fact is that a very large number of people now use the Internet as their primary source of news and information. I think you really should get your head out of your arse and realise that no one is criticising the efforts of Amnesty. Indeed, it has, I believe, many dedicated supporters - such as Blue monday - on here. The criticism is that the event was was poorly advertised and, to be honest, 'joyful' celebrations of an act that has been, and continues to be, either ignored or misused and abused, does not seem entirely appropriate.
