The relationship between the United States government and ICANN, the private non-profit corporation which oversees the assignment of domain names, has often been a thorn in the eyes of the European Union. A recent document issued by the European Commission again advocates a change in internet oversight - but at the same time, the document also states that ICANN has actually been doing a pretty good job.

And for the sake of everyone, I hope their ideas don't involve the good for nothing UN as one poster suggested.
Unfortunately the EU is filled with people from top to bottom with the giant size collective ego - yet they ignore that the continent, morality and culture are collapsing under the malaise of relativism (and ultimately nihilism). This, along with the bash against Microsoft is nothing short of the last dying grasp from a people who can't get over the fact that they no longer have an empire and their influence over world politics is a bit of a joke - the lack of any real contribution to NATO in the form of troops shows that Europeans are all words but when push comes to shove they hide in the corner hoping the American-Anglo (plus commonwealth) pick up the slack.
The United Nations, like you said, is a joke - one only needs to look at the so-called 'conference on racism' which turned into nothing more than a J e w (why is J e w a censored word on osnews.com, I had to put gaps between the letters just for it to show up - anti-Semitism from the owners?) hating fiesta which is balanced off with a repression of any criticism of Islam - where funny enough those who pushed the treaty to repress criticism of Islam were unwilling to sign a treaty that ended persecution of GLBT people. If the UN evaporated tomorrow I don't think the world would be any worse off given what a joke it has turned into.

You know what I am gonna go a big limp of reality here and state the obvious :
* You have no clue what the EU is and do.
* You have no clue what the UN is and do.
* You have no clue what NATO is and do and where the troops come from.
* You obvioulsy bought the Microsoft is poor mistreated company bulshit campaign.
* Your a racist who think some people , in your words
"race" are more important then others ...
Just to be clear on that last point racist : there is only one race on the planet "The Human race" , the rest are animals and plants.
* The last two time the UN was disolved there was a World war ...
Someone been feeding you garbage and instead of doing some proper research and educate yourself with real data , you been following the sensionnalist press and you decided to believe the bullshit propaganda ...

...EU counsel BS just like with Microsoft in regards to IE and WMP. They start running their mouths, complaining and then flexing their muscles instead of putting their collective a**es together to come up with a real beneficial solution. I'm not attacking their intentions but they need to put up something good or just shut up already instead of acting like a bunch of whining kids fighting over who gets to play with the ball at recess.
And for the sake of everyone, I hope their ideas don't involve the good for nothing UN as one poster suggested.
