After searching for some time through the various news media for something humorous or just plain interesting and having no luck at all, I finally found this little gem, which is about the UN finally taking on the issue of Chinas’ Human Rights record.

Now, before I give you the details of their findings, bear in mind that the rulers of China have committed forced abortions on hundreds of thousands of women, literally cutting them open, Ceasarian Section, removing the baby and killing it, to enforce the 2-child only law. It was them who had protesters run over by tanks in Tianamen Square for wanting democracy. They are the ones who have prisons filled with political prisoners who endure forced labor, slavery, for voicing discontent with the system.

The list goes on, but that should suffice. Now for the findings of the UN:

“Opinion was definitely in China’s favor as country after country took the floor to praise China’s achievements.”

“During the course of the three-hour debate, China was praised for its astounding economic feats and promotion of human rights. A long list of speakers supported China’s use of the death penalty and Internet censorship.”

Most of those in support of China are Middle Eastern nations, which is no surprise. Birds of a feather. A few Western diplomats spoke up about Chinas’ abuses, but not much fuss was made. “The Canadian representative, Louis-Martin Aumais questioned China about its alleged use of evidence obtained under torture and its treatment of political prisoners.

“Canada is deeply concerned about reports of arbitrary detention of ethnic minority members, including Tibetans, Uighurs, and Mongols, as well as religious believers including Falun Gong practitioners without information about their charges, their location and well being,” he said.

This is our wonderful United Nations in action. At the end of the session, a parade of Chinese experts answered questions regarding its treatment of ethnic minorities, Tibetans, and human rights defenders. They assured the delegates at the Council that their rights, as well as the right to religious freedom and assembly were well protected.

Why, hey, good enough then. I mean, if you say so, then it must be true. (Ha ha ha, snicker.)

In another humorous display of Chinese good naturedness, as a huge new and incredibly expensive building in downtown Beijing burned from bottom to top during Chinese New Years celebrations, area residents continued to shoot off fireworks nearby, ignoring the towering, flaming catastrophe that was probably caused by the stuff they were igniting.

Now, that’s what I call partying.
