Fellow magnificent nations, read below, vote for it if you can, and have a pint from Bahgum, if you can't (or won't ??? and why not??) have a pint from Bahgum anyway. May happy evenings festoon your lives.....

Sponsor a Pigeon
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security Strength: Mild Proposed by: Bahgum
Description: The humble pigeon is one of the worlds most neglected and (unfairly) unloved creatures, the Glorious Nation of Bahgum submits that this is a travesty, an injustice in fact a human error of monumental proportions.

In times of strife, the pigeon can be used to carry messages, warn of nerve agents (very susceptible) and even (although this is surely a last resort) feed the starving.
Pigeons have even won bravery medals in both World Wars, isn't it about time they were loved by mankind in return?????

We propose that to address this pressing issue (much more important than the usual contents of CNN and peoples boring sexuality normally discussed here) that all nations establish a royal/national/peoples etc pigeon loft and encourage the venerable art of pigeon racing.

That's it, simple, i'm off to the pub for a pint, and maybe even a pie, any world leaders coming along?

I would agree with a resolutions seeking to acknowledge the usefulness of pigeons, however, this 'loft' that you propose would likely cost a good deal of money to set up and maintain.

Could you clarify the exact purpose of the loft?

I love pigeons. I think pigeons are cute and very useful. :P

So we have thus approved your proposal and will vote for it if it reaches the floor.

We have no problem with pigeons, they are trainable and have a long symbiotic relationship with mankind.

So you have our support, even though our communications and defenses are enhanced not by pigeons but by pterodactyls. Unlike birds, they are also useful for carrying freight and parcels.

They do make a mess in the park, however.

It is grand to see such positive responses. To answer his excellency from Soltak, a loft is merely a glorified shed, with openings for the pigeons and a few perches to sit on. You can make a grander one if you wish, in fact the magnificence of ones loft would make a good UN report, but a pigeon is happy as long as it is cared for!
Pterodactyls are an excellent idea, though they are a little harder to get hold of and tend to scare the kids a bit when they feed them in the park.

Remember, time is short, tell your friends, vote for the pigeons. Pint anyone?

tragedy, the pigeon proposal has had to be replaced, if you've voted for it previously please do so again! It inexplicably vanished from the list!

Pigeons, AKA feathered rats.

Exactly, Letila. Which is why we should acknowledge the true hero, rats. Not their feathered impersonators who copied them and their characteristics.

yells,"DISCRIMINATION OF ALL OTHER ANIMALS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!:
:P

Explanation, positive discrimination is discrimination too.

God darn right. In cities they are trully the flying rats.

RATS????? Rats spread disease and other than being cut up for science (which other animals can suffice for) have no use.
Pigeons win awards (rats don't) do not, contrary to popular opinion spread disease, go on name a person you know who has died of or been seriously ill from a pigeon borne disease, name a disease even. All they do in cities is clean up the garbage YOU drop on the floor.

I am not sure about that not spreading diseases.

And a rat could win an awart to. If we can think of something to give it a reward for :P

I would vote to have Ozzy bite the heads off of them on stage ---how about the as a vote?

peogeon keeping might be worked into an issue rather then a resolution
i don't groc the connection between peoguns and borders though
?

As some miserable curmudgeon has (anonymously) removed this proposal for the second time, i'm afraid that all your liveley comments (appreciated both for and against, which is the sign of a good debate) have been wasted. Seems one must be boring and conformist even in a virtual UN.
Yours dejectedly,
Bahgum

Never fear, Bahgum will carry on the campaign for more fun in the UN.......

His Holiness the Emperor of Farawayishtan has never had any relation with a pigeon, but he let us know that the proposal to sneak out to the pub for a few beers and a pie is accepted.

Fellow magnificent nations, read below, vote for it if you can, and have a pint from Bahgum, if you can't (or won't ??? and why not??) have a pint from Bahgum anyway. May happy evenings festoon your lives.....

Pigeon pie ? :) Yum :)

I propose that this is the work of crackers. After all, if they let the hippo proposal stand, why would they not allow this ? it must be the work of.. um.. something. :)

We, The Majestic Elven Republic of Alienware are obviously more technologically advanced than your nation. We need not pigeons to carry our messages. We send messages over satellite phone that are encripted 20 times over. You can keep your pigeons.
