The war on "terror" is BS

[Diagoras]

I support terror. Terror is a useful emotion. If it weren't for terror, we wouldn't be here. Our ancestors would have been eaten alive by lions as they just calmly sat there not feeling terrified.

If you're not with us, you're with the terror.

...and that terrifies me.


...or something.

Do you think the veto should be taken from the permanent members of the security council? might speed things up.

Gotta go, will return to this another time.

No, maybe they should decrease the votes needed to 8 but don't exclude the temporary members.

What? You do not think they should get rid of the veto power? You do know that is what cause most of the problems?

I misunderstood, I read it as the final decision should be taken by the permanent members.
I agree that they should get rid of the veto power of the permanent countries, I can see how that is a big problem. But as long as it exists it should be followed.

Even if it leads to situations like Iraq where the US and UK went against the UN because of the veto from other countries? The UN in my opinion would be a better place with no veto. The veto power is abused and leads to an ineffective UN. We both want a strong UN this, to me, is one of the options to try and fix it.

Problem is that once some countries start to "break the law" others will follow.

I know of laws in my country that I dislike, but I wouldn't want people to think they have a right to break them, that would create anarchy in the end.

I do not have a good solution on how to change the laws (or the veto power) in a good way tho.
