Well, I shouldn't be surprised by that reaction, but I still am. Everytime someone comes out and describes the UN in terms like "an unholy consortium of 3rd-world dictators, bankers, corporate fascists, and power-grubbing politicians" I can't but help think they really don't know what they're talking about.
By that same standard Dunedan, you should be rebelling against your own government. They "coerce" you into paying taxes. Of course, there's always the possibility that you are some whacko loony who supports some off-the-wall Libertarian "pay no taxes; governments aren't needed" kind of socio-political mindset.
A comment like " UN's various "Social programs" are nothing more than Armed Robbery on a world scale" shows a breath-taking ignorance of the facts. I've also never heard of development aid being described as wealthy countries being fleeced!
However, as nofnway was kind enough to ask for some good examples, with references and research to support it, I can confidently hope that he will ignore your outburst for what it is; a pointless attack with no basis in fact.
