The power of the United Nations is not in what they say or the resolutions passed.
The power of the U.N. is in the Treaties and Conventions that are produced there. The U.N. is the framework by which global law can be implemented at local and national levels piecemeal style.
The U.N. also provided the framework for establishing a plethora of international agencies.
While many people see the U.N. as inept, it has in fact been a very successful tool in directing the world further and further into a world government system. A one world economic, political, and religious system.

I once read a book by an economist who thought he was clever using economic models to solve problems that (he didn't realize) had been addressed by philosophy centuries ago. His argument went like this:
1. Every time you state a belief, you are implicitly stating the fact that you believe it to be true. This constitutes a "new" piece of information in an argument.
2. If an argument or discussion is aimed at reaching consensus, i.e., identifying truths, the parties involved would evaluate the merits of each fact presented.
3. Because each statement of opinion is an implicit fact (and as they are repeated back and forth between two people forever, each is a "new" fact. I believe this. I believe this knowing that you believe that. I believe this knowing that you believe that despite me believing this. I believe this knowing that you believe that despite knowing that I believe this despite knowing that you believe that. Etc.), two open-minded individuals interested in truth would eventual agree, even if the argument was nothing more than perpetually repeating one's own beliefs.
Therefore, unless you two agree, you're both closed-minded truth-haters.
That book sucked.
Nah, I mean the countries of the world reaching consensus on anything.
Is not likely to happen.
Asking them to do so is inviting failure.

They're not inept.
They got it going the way they want.
I mean, isn't it wonderful .......
they can party,
do whatever they want,
get other peeps to gives them lot's cash,
and ABSOLUTELY answer to no one!
I say,
Move the ENTIRE freaking thing to some non-developed Island
let them use what ever funds they have on hand
and The USA
never contribute one more penny to them other than member fee's.
We can just be a regular member to have a look see what's going on.
I mean .like,

We have to remove that roach infested pile off the U.S. mainland.
They got it going the way they want.

Nah,
Just a fancy way
of describing the nature of interpersonal behavior!
It boils down to this:
IF we can reach a consensus on what "I" want; ....... cool!
If not, then = frustration
The "U MAD"
effect!plz ban anyone that disagrees with us.
also, I was off on the number:
Membership: 192 Member States
kosovo, taiwan, and the vatican are not member states. there are currently 195 recognized countries.
