"Yep, you're right. Even we, the honorable USA, uses the U.N. to suit our needs.

Ergo, the only rational conclusion is that the U.N. should be disbanded as it serves no useful purpose as it is 100% corruptable. Right?"



Well, not quite. Although it has clearly failed to act on numerous occasions, is riddled by corruption and is overly dominated by the most powerful countries, it still serves a useful purpose if only as a forum for debate.

Surely if the U.N. is not functioning properly the first response should be to reform it. Maybe we could start with scrapping the vetoes, giving it less tasks or providing it with more money.

I'm surprised you're still here?!? I thought you would have been banned by now. The MODS must be a on coffee break.

(You do realize your stay here will be short lived.)

Yeah, --- That's the ticket. Make it so they could vote to have everyone concentrate on driving Israel into the sea.

That would be like having a wolf, a bear and deer vote what to have for lunch.

That would solve all the worlds problems.

If we insist on reform we're bullies. The U.S. should use the veto more often, especially after promising France that it won't. Less task is the only one I agree with. The U.N. should be given no tasks at all and also no money.
