1961 Liberia was a member of the security counsil

One more fact, Liberia was not one of the founding members of the UN, Liberia join the UN
December 14, 1955.

I got more info for you, Liberia has been a member of the security counsil, look it up if you think I’m lying.

No one is afraid of you if you want to talk about a topic please do but don’t sit there and tell your buddy Grebo about what you will do. Be a man and do what’s necessary, oh you don’t have nothing but rhetoric. You better start speaking with facts because from now on everything you say I will look it up.

Its people like you who always talk because they feel they can talk louder. Well for me intelligence is better then loudness. Its not my aim to provoke you but if you feel provoke so be it, I don’t back down from no man.

To answer the rest of your question. I am very disturb as an Industrial engineer my fellow engineer does not understand business principals. I never once said in any of my posting there was a tire factory build in Liberia (FACTS FACTS FACTS). Was Firestone obligated to build a factory in Liberia, was it part of the contract they sign in 1926 or whenever. If you answer that it was part of the contract then Firestone is in breach, however if it wasn’t part of the contract then Firestone has no obligation to build a factory in Liberia.

To answer your next question, nothing is wrong with Firestone building a factoiry in Liberia, that is up to Firestone if its in their best business interest. Keep in mind most of Firestone tire sales were to automobiles company in the U.S. (Detriot, Michigan to be exact) so it is only wise to munufacture close to your vendors this way you can drastically cut your frieght cost.

As an engineer like you claim what good would it have done Firestone to manufacture tires in Liberia and ship it overseas to the U.S to me put on cars that will then be shipped back and sold around the world including Africa. That means they will be doing double handling of materials and paying double on frieght cost. And you know what that means, the consumers will suffer.

And do me a favor please read the whole posting carefully, take a deep breath before you you reply and don’t make us engineers look bad my brother.

In your March 9, 2010, 10:37pm you stated ” Can anyone explain as to why Africa is not the six security council member as opposed to five? Africa is at the mercy of so-called first world countries.”

My answer to you again is Africa is a continent, not a country, only countries can be member of the security counsil, not continents. China is a country in the continent of Asia. United States is a country in the continent of North North America, Great Britain, France are countries in the continent of Europe. Russia is a country in the continent of both Asia and Europe. These are the five permanent members of the UN Security Counsil with permanant veto power. The six seat also have veto power but is not permanant

To elaborate more for your understanding there are 10 non permanant member countries on the security counsil, which include NIGERIA, GABON and UGANDA all countries in Africa, non of wthich are CONTINENTS. Again brother, Africa is a CONTINENT not a country, get it right. Get you facts right

Grebo, I know you told me to forget about Ellen, but to concertrate on the Charles Taylor trial. But pekin, tell John not to provoke me on this Ellen business. Because when I start on Ellen, pekin, you know me by now from this site, it will not be too pretty for she and John.
