U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency

24. And this is yet another reason why the UN has less than zero credibility

They're worried that some guy on a snowmobile in The Middle Of Damn Nowhere, Alaska toking up is going to harm their precious, utterly un-enforceable "law," and then they put friggin Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran, and whoever else they can find with an absolutely abysmal track record on human rights on the Human Rights Council. It seems that they have an especially particular penchant for putting countries that like to kill or imprison people for the "crime" of being gay into things like the Human Rights Council.

I'm sorry, but piss on the UN. They are a worthless bunch of plutocrats who have no authority, no power, and less common sense than God gave an earthworm. The only things that they're really effective at is racking up amazing amounts of unpaid parking tickets, uselessly whining a lot, possibly the most spectacular hypocrisy on the entire planet, and occasionally having their soldiers rape women in places where they are supposed to be protecting them.



Like the League of Nations, it was a nice idea, but what it's turned into is just a big, stupid, bloated, do-nothing bureaucracy that literally only exists to perpetuate their own bureaucracy. AFAIC, spin off the few actual worthwhile parts like UNICEF, and just close down the rest. Turn the big building on the East Side into low-income housing or something actually useful like that.
