International agreements, as seen through Shrooms

If anyone ever wishes to know why the United Nations is every bit as doomed as the League of Nations, look no further than recreational drug use.

To wit.

At a certain party, an act of aggression was used as a form of tag. This made relaxing and enjoying the festivities difficult, as one could never let one's guard down.

Eventually, a conference was called, whereby a unilateral ceasefire was declared, banning the act.

The treaty was violated inside of two minutes. When asked why, the perpetrator looked around, laughed, and said "Someone has to be China."

And there you have it. The problem with international relations summed up in a nutshell by a young man out of his mind on shrooms.

You cannot make an agreement that all parties will follow all the time.

Ask anyone at that party, and they'd agree.
