the Latin phrase panem et circences can also be translated into modern American English as fast food and entertainment (whether it's sports, the movies, bowling, the media, or computer games) rather than bread and circuses as in The Roman Empire

Get the Et almug. Here’s a better definition of this school :)
It’s full of spoiled white little kids who have no common sense. Even the kids who claim to be “different” and “mature” are even worse. Some claim they smoke pine, but they have never met a plug in their lives and have no idea what being unique is like. They all dress the same. Last but not least, they all depend on their parents whose mothers are usually whores with bleached hair.
So yeah guys, have fun living your FAKE lives

The United Nations, IMHO today, at least under definition b) above is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.
