    Default international forums?

    Basle II, Copenhagen

    If you were to create an international convention for international cooperation on an issue, what would it be?

    overpopulation. Too many Chinese, Indians and Whites in the world.

    Africans, Jews and Arabs are ok.

    The rest of you stop ****ing for God's sake. Unless its man on man action.

    Edit: ^thank you Republicans.

    I was almost convinced you were ok with letting civilization slip to the conniving and the savage 'peoples'.

    Africans will become a problem, Heinz. We need a solution. I propose the only viable solution: Lots of M1A2 Abrams, white soldiers (blacks can't possibly be trusted?), endless amounts of ammo supplied by Europe and America and unknown quantities of mustard... gas.

    I would hold an international convention on how international conventions are all talk and never actually achieve anything.

    i was gunna say something like this. anti-globalists need to fight fire with fire

    i think whatever the international forum it should stay within private sector. Governments can form necessary cooperation the traditional way, with treaties (u know with an expiration date) and such.

    does that include the historical phenomena where by so many of the greatest coalitions of nations to a single purpose were brought together by a single mind.

    if so then the question becomes, if you were that single mind, what would be the purpose to which you would seek international cooperation?

    be more specific. what sort of international forum holds this feat?

    there are many purposes. i suppose the most basic examples: military alliances and trade agreements. but we can form these without these giant money hogging institutions that ultimately prove ineffective anyway. Australia isn't a part of NATO but does that mean they are any better or worse an ally to the US than the UK? of course not. On to OP's mention of the Copenhagen: The convention about climate change. I honestly don't know what to believe about the subject. The issue is too corrupted by politics and the last thing we need is more of it.

    no i don't mean international forums (as you defined it), i was referring to back room diplomatic agreements/treaties (what you referred to as the old fashioned way) between a wide range of nations being triggered by some original leadership. (such as Operation Cyclone)

    but we can form these without these giant money hogging institutions that ultimately prove ineffective anyway.
    who is hogging money and why do you believe it to be a bad thing? as a proportion of his wealth Warren Buffet reinvests almost everything he has into business equity and economic development. if it were left up to you, what percentage of your income would be spent on providing the infrastructure that jobs require? or is the solution that the state government controls supply. not sure what you're trying to say.

    actually a lot has been achieved by international forums, and just because they are difficult doesn't mean that they shouldn't been pursued or that Australia, for example, can't choose to make individual decisions while attending them.

    could how to divide the world after WW2 have been decided without Potsdam?

    what about the Bretton Woods system. where the hell would we be without the Bretton Woods system.

    and what about Basel II?

    It would be about Justice against internet Crimes. Copy right would be one of the issues to lead in publisity and funding from corporations, while personal computeer and regional computer system security from hacking, bot-net attacks and id-crimes being the main goal. There simply must be a sollution to this shadow crime and individual computers and local areas ahould be protected far more then what is done now. Anti virus is just cutting the tip of the problem, but a real protection is the serious sollution to this while and evil threat. This crime is not linked to any specific illness and is purly ideologica or made just to make lives miserable.

    Some thing must be done before we must return to fax machines!
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    This thread start does not seem to meet the requirements of being on topic for the mudpit. I will move it to the Academy and advise to not spam this thread. Judging by the comments so far, perhaps it should go to TD. Discuss and do not chat please.

    International targets for increasing scientific research per GDP in developed countries.

    Follow the lead of Israel, which has recently increased it's research to about 4.5%. The average in OECD countries is about 2.5%.
