Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

On more than 30 occasions, the United Nations Assembly has discussed the blockade against Cuba, which costs the island 5 billion dollars annually, according to some estimates. Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

How do you think the UN would be able to "prevent wars. Kick leaders in the balls. Lessen human suffering and violence."?

What methods would it use to achieve those goals?

"Simple. Just do it" is not an answer.

This response from the guy who said Simple, prevent wars..

I'm wasting my time.

Yours and mine. Next time don't ask questions about a hypothetical like some "ackschually" nerd.

You're absolutely right. In retrospect I should have known better than to engage with somebody saying "why doesn't the UN just stop wars?"

[–] Maalus -2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If only you could read, you would know I never said that.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Simple, prevent wars.

You sure did say it.

Every conversation on the Internet will eventually devolve into an argument over who said what.

I was paraphrasing "Simple, prevent wars. Kick leaders in the balls. Lessen human suffering and violence." Specifically the first part. If you meant something else I invite you to clarify. But so far you didn't seem to have developed your thoughts past "prevent wars" and "the UN is useless".
