...then I think its reasonable to assume that you'll get something that tastes more like dogshit than ice cream.

So if you mix the good nations like America, the European nations, with the Islamic nations and the dictatorships in an organization like...I don't know...the UN, then you will get an organization that looks more like the latter than the former, no?

Maybe because the UN is supposed to be about negotiation? We do have to live alongside other countries, you know, even the ones with shitty political systems. Besides, real power sits with the five permanent members of the Security Council that have the veto power, none of which are Islamic (China and Russia aren't very democratic, though). So you really shouldn't worry about it, should you?

edit: that aside, "If You Mix A Pound Of Dogshit And A Pound Of Ice Cream" is my favorite thread title so far.

Europe is not a nation. :rolleyes:

I don't get it... The U.N. is pure dogshit, the U.S. might be melted ice cream.. maybe... and the dictator ships are what?

Well, I also mentioned the dictatorships, of which there are quite a few. But what I have in mind is the way the whole thing runs, where a democracy and a member nation is more highly criticised than Hezbollah, a non-member and an aggressor.

Also, the UN is powerless when the shit hits the fan. Look at Iran, you seriously think they will do anything about it?

Europe is not a nation. :rolleyes:
Hm..you don't say?

Actually, it was kind of foolish of me not to specify at first that I meant the European nations.

No, the dictatorships are pure dogshit, the US is melted ice cream, and the UN is a combination that tastes more like dogshit than ice cream.

Get it now?:p

Yet.

(I thought European law trumped national sovereignty anyway).

I disagree. If the US, Britain and France are melted ice cream, China is dogshit (because it's a dictatorship) and Russia is maybe a nasty flavor of ice cream like banana (because it's sort of semi-authoritarian) then I would say the UN tastes more like ice cream than dogshit. I still wouldn't eat it.

crushed nuts?

nah, I always assumed the dictator ships would be luxury yachts.

But it's a pound of ice cream, some nasty ice cream as you brilliantly pointed out, and a pound of dogshit.

I wouldn't eat it even if it was a pound of really good ice cream and a quart of dogshit.

Actually, it wouldn't even take a china sized portion. The smallest teaspoon of dogshit would stop me from tasting the sundae.

Hell, if there was even a teaspoon of dogshit in it I wouldn't eat it.

I guess Ben and Jerry know not to make a "Delightful Dogshit" flavor now, or something like that.

Yet.

Hopefully never. The federalists have been dealt a quasi-coup de grâce with the failure of the constitution, meaning they are rendered virtually ineffective for at least a decade, possibly more.

In certain areas yes, in other areas no. It depends on which of the three pillars it belongs to.

You're making quite an assumption by saying that the US counts as a "good nation" :p


Hehe, sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously though... uuhhh... I don't think I actually have a serious point to make. Ah well :D

Oh and:

I guess Ben and Jerry know not to make a "Delightful Dogshit" flavor now, or something like that.

Lollerz! :D

And let's remember one fact overlooked here. You can be a dictatorship and still be considered ice cream if you either bend over like a bitch for the U.S. (South Vietnam, Chile for a while, Iraq for a while, Pakistan) or you have something the U.S. will bend over like a bitch for you to get (Saudi Arabia).

Europe is not a nation. :rolleyes:

It should be. It's composed of little states just like the US.

One day, someone will wake up and wonder why Luxembourg counts as a nation-state, when it's smaller than Maryland.

Well then - by all means, get the fuck outta the UN - lest you have to smell the shit you ice-cream eaters like to spray over the rest of the planet.

The "states" are nation states and actual countries and most have been so since long before the US was a glimmer in some tax evader's eye. So, no, nothing like the US.

Someone who has a grasp of the concept already has.

but it's pronounced "Throatwarlber Mangrove"


the key point of this ice cream mixture is the smell of the feces. if you remove the smell completely and go just by taste, then one cannot assume that it will taste like dogshit, infact, it may be pleasant tasting for all we know... unless someone actually did try it.



if you did, please spare us the details.

Actually, it will taste like ice cream covered in corn flakes then fried.

Your analogy assumes that A) there's an equal number of the two types of nations B) Political policy works the same as taste buds and C) That you'll get something that tastes more like dogshit than ice cream, none of which I'm willing to accept without proof.

The fact that I know there is dog doo in the sundae is enough to keep me way they hell away from it. Smell is really irrelevant.

I think thats why he said "European Nations." Start reading the posts you're replying to.

Isn't it more like you have the UN as your ice-cream parlor with all different kinds of ice-cream flavors, and when you mix them all up, those you favor, and maybe those you dislike, and then digest that sundae, only then will you realize that no matter which kinds you eat - they will all become a pile of crap?!?

but if you wern't told and you couldn't smell it...

I don't think that works for this analogy, since we're talking about the UN. Unless they've got some members they don't tell anyone about. Like Antartica!

"Actually, it was kind of foolish of me not to specify at first that I meant the European nations." (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11579486&postcount=6) Or even this post where he admits he was in the wrong and went to edit the OP?

You start reading the threads you're replying to, hypocrite, instead of wasting our time.

but if you wern't told and you couldn't smell it...

Maybe I couldn't tell. I admit that. (Tho' I doubt it; I've never eaten poo, but I imagine it tastes like crap).

But for me to endorse the flavor, you'd have to tell me at some point. i.e 'you ate dog doo.' I guarantee I'd be mad as hell at that point, and almost certainly sick, even if it did taste all lemony fresh.

So no. Any amount of poo is a bad idea.
