Comment Re:USA against the World? (Score 1) 735

I don't think China will care one iota about a possible chance to increase their funding for UN projects knowing full well the UN is merely a symbolic body that nobody takes seriously.

Keeping Taiwan off the international agendas and as a permanent member of the Security Council, I think China takes their UN membership very seriously.

Just because there's a law in the US that is similar does not mean you can point to that law and claim that it applies to the UK. It's SIMILAR, but not the same and DOES NOT APPLY IN THE UK.

When stopped doing 65 in a 55 zone in the US would you claim exemption because the UK has a similar law prohibiting speeding, but the limit in the UK is 70?

SIMILAR is NOT THE SAME.

Journalism is a global business and works the same everywhere.

Wrong on so many levels. For example there's no 1st Amendment in France. Privacy laws in France are also way stricter than in the US, so photojournalists (including "paparazzi") have many rules about what they cannot photograph.

I suggest you rethink your statement that XXXXXX is a global business and works the same everywhere. (Substitute a variety of global businesses into XXXXXX and you'll see how silly your statement is).
