a rational and objective protection measure, first proposed in these terms by the Democratic challenger,John Kerry, in the 2004 Presidential election. The test involves ensuring the safety and protection of all Americans throughout the world, including the safety of America's all volunteer army. It is designed to weigh the support of the developed international community on American actions and is only to be ignored if grossly abused, or in extreme urgency. To date, the administration of George W. Bush, once appointed and once elected to the U.S. Presidency, has ignored the implementation of the test.
Had America continued to allow United Nations officials to work, and conducted a global test of the threat Saddam Hussein posed, no American lives would have been utterly wasted in Iraq. Lives we can never get back, that ended pointlessly, all because the global test was not enacted.

Get the Globetrotting mug.The SIDGS is a program at the University of Ottawa in international development. It attracts the largest number of students in the whole faculty of social sciences.
It is known for its contingent of English Canadian hippies and Franco Ontarians who don't know what to do with their life but want to travel and want to get through university without learning anything too rough. In between two joints they learn to hate the IMF and the World Bank and that participatory research methods is THE shit. After four years they also finally realise that international development is a load of crap, and they should study something else if they want a good job.
The profs in the SIDGS are an amalgation of academics and field practitioners, mostly all Marxist. Is it thought that there are two factions within the SIDGS Marxist group, a maoist one led informally by an old development worker, and a Trotskyist one led by an old sociology professor who is plotting to take over the SIDGS to turn it into a revolutionary unit. When a large enough number of DVM alumni realise they can't get a job, they will most likely join this organization to become the cannon fodder of the revolution.

(In a School of International Development and Global Studies typical class discussion group)
Teacher's Assistant: So did anyone read the text for today?
Most students: No...
TA: Can someone who read it sum it up? (i.e. the TA doesn't understand shit about DVM either...)
One student: Yeah, it says the IMF f**ked all the development in Africa and they're full of shit.
TA: (reading the text) Yes... yes you're right that's what it said.

Get the Glob mug.A globe believer who argues with flat earthers online. They are not interested in having an intellectual conversation. They can't not answer any questions or provide any proof that Earth is a rotating, salt water covered, pear flying through a vacuum with a pressurized atmosphere sticking to it.
I used to be a globetard before I found out the Earth is actually not a sphere.
My boyfriend loves crushing the globetard's ego with basic science.
I was brainwashed by the education system and a lifetime of media propoganda with fake images of Earth so much that it turned me into a globetard.
