I can't remember the guy's name but I remember it was that black Democrat from Alabama or something that said he was scared the island of Guam would get so populated it would tip over.
I could google that and also for more gems but those two came to the top of my head and I'm really not going to argue with you over my response to a shitpost. Tough tits if you don't like it, but the world isn't some black and white place where all "right-wingers" are sister-fucking retards and the left wing is full of sophisticated intellectuals.

What do either of these examples have to do with their political beliefs?
[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;50618546]I am 100% sure this is bait[/QUOTE]I gave two pretty good examples of left-wing politicians saying dumb things, so no, see my "tough tits" comment for more information if you're upset

Woah this is beyond stupid

Americans should be asking: Why is the US paying 22% of the UN's budget when it only makes up 4% of it?
America should be getting paid for hosting the UN and being its biggest enforcer. The UN's power, which is already very little, would be nothing without the US.
The UN can't even get anything done. Just take a look at Africa too see how poorly the UN performs. It's always up to the US to send in their own military to take care of other people's problems. And western countries, both in Europe and North America, have to deal with all the refugees (with their own money) because the UN can't even take care of them.
Nation states are relying more on themselves when it has become clear that these big organizations can't/won't take care of them. The UN and the EU are examples of big organizations that are failing us, and they are doing so big league. You can count on more nations to want to exit big organizations if they don't get their shit together.

Just to add: China makes up nearly 20% of the UN but only pays 5%. Why isn't China paying more? They certainly can afford to.

How does China make up 20% of the UN?
How does US make up 4% of the UN?
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;50618367]For people afraid of change they seem really enthusiastic to change everything they can for the worse.[/QUOTE]
Well, forward progressive change.
A lot of right-wingers want to try and change the government to the way it was 30 years ago, which, as you said, is for the worse.
[QUOTE=Erfly;50616871]Off topic, but I thought the Soviet Union pulled out due to them not allowing Communist China into the UN (instead only allowing the Nationalists in).
Eh, maybe it was both reasons together.[/QUOTE]
Maybe both but the point still stood that they withdrew thinking it would be similar to the league of Nations and instead had the entire west dragged into a proxy war against them
America should leave the US

I forgot all Republicans are idiots and democrats have never done anything wrong.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50619389]How does China make up 20% of the UN?

I think they are determining the percent by population.

[QUOTE=nikomo;50616546]I'm fairly well-educated on what leaving the EU means to a country.
I have absolutely no fucking idea what leaving the UN means to a country.[/QUOTE]
More or less absolutely nothing as the UN doesn't really enact stuff on it's, but countries have to put all the treaties into their own legal systems.
On top of that being a member of the UN and a permanent member of the UN security council is hugely beneficial for the US.

I'm a bit confused about this too. Is he honestly just going by total population of the countries?
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;50621629]I'm a bit confused about this too. Is he honestly just going by total population of the countries?[/QUOTE]
I don't think it could be population because 5x the population of China is right around the same amount as the total population of Earth and not all nations are a part of the UN. And China only has about 4x the population of the US, not 5x.
