Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

    Instead of replying with that same comment again, why don’t you explain what alternative you have in mind. Don’t just vaguely mention ‘packets’

      Oh I am sorry I wasn’t aware that I had to come up with a solution if I point out the current solution isn’t working. Shit. Better say nothing ever again and just keep giving my money to a corrupt institution that fucks up everything it touches. Sorry for pointing out the emperor has no clothing here is free fucking money

        That’s kind of the point here

        We all agree that the current system has issues.

        You’re saying the next move should be to disband it, and others are saying that we need an alternative first. I don’t think anyone here is saying the UN is perfect the way it is

        An imperfect system doesn’t mean we need to throw out the whole system. And if we did throw it out, you can’t just not have a replacement for it.

        People making posts on the Internet is not equivalent to real people meeting and being forced to at least give an answer.

            That’s still an answer. We actively know they chose to abstain rather than passively. Still better than radio silence from “the Internet”

        We can all agree homelessness is a problem, what matters is the solutions to the problem

        Some want to house these people, some want to build more homeless shelters, some want dedicated camping sites in the city, some want dedicated camping sites outside the city, some want to simply ban them from existing in a city, etc, etc

        If all you do is focus on the problem and not coming up with solutions then the problem will never be solved

        This is an example of why coming up with solutions is important when discussing issues

        What you need to do is define “working” in order to point out that the current solution isn’t working.

        To define “working” you either need to come up with a standard for how such organizations should operate, or barring that name some alternative solution that it can be compared to.

          I see. So if I see an airplane burn on the ground after falling from the sky unless I am a professional pilot, have done an indepth analysis of what happened, have a solution to prevent future problems, and have a master’s degree in aerospace engineering I am not allowed to say that there is any issue and should assume the airplane is fine.

          Sorry YOUR UN sucks
