laws are cool if im prez ill make one that any country in the un is know ouned buy the usa cause we basicly started the current un the last one failed cause we wernt in it
billybobjoe, you should really type slower. Oh, and not type a load of crap.
There is no person in the world that can make a law to own other countries and if by "prez" you mean the president of the united states, no law made in the usa by your president has effect in other countries.
sorry to moan but that was a dumb comment you made.
