A darkness brewing from the hubris

It has become fashionable once again to discard or belittle arguments of national sovereignty as somehow unworthy of notice. "Yet another UN member who hasn't read the FAQ" seems to be a common slap in the face of new posters. Let's examine this in a bit more detail.

Conclusion
On this basis, I maintain that it is legally incorrect to dismiss all such arguments as groundless. The usage of the language, as in all UN discussions, is vital. One must consider the context as well of the content when using or deriding words like right, power, duty, and obligation. Perhaps a bit of guidance towards the correct word or phrase would serve the UN community better than abrupt dismissal of the claim.

The above was written by Frisbeeteria. Is this nation an example of hubris leading one toward the Dark Side?

Frisbeeteria's stances (above) are offensive to my nation at multiple levels - also see http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=frisbeeteria

Possibly Frisbeeteria's leaders are motivated by what many Callahan Theologians call the Dark Arts? One should note the "Moderator" emblem of this nation (unclear to it's actual tropological meaning). Has an evil empire of "rabid" consumers (aka vampires) infiltrated the very code designing the system? We should collectively watch Frisbeeteria like we would watch agents in an artifical matrix. Can anyone speak with more authority on this international situation of great concern to Lord Pere Callahan. "Lest not we forget Jerusalem's Lot".
