Thread: UN should be moved?

well i think the UN should be moved from the USA because it could be argued (thats what im doing now) that an organization, commited to the "wellness of the world" and "preventing wars before they happen" would be in a country that that has its own global interests whtich could potentially corrupt the organization itself. With being in such a powerful country there is bound to be some sort of corruption or influence from the US government.

Perhpas to remain more neurtral in its affairs it should be moved to an island perhaps?
the island of forgoten dreams?

Anyway im not un acknoldeging all the good the UN has done.

So what do youS think?

I think we should quit the UN and forget that it even exsists.

It should be moved to Switzerland, since they're neutral.

Sad, but I almost agree with that.

The UN isn't really corrupted by the US. But, we don't give a damn about what the UN says. For example, we went to war with Iraq. The US doesn't care about preventing wars, unless the war will be against them. So, it doesn't matter, the UN can't do anything. Its just the US.

The United Nations is a great idea like many that does not work.
If all the powerful nations would work together it would act as such a powerful deterrent that I feel it would straighten this world out.
It would be unfortunate that there may be a rogue nation or two that the UN would have to make an example of to be taken seriously.
It is also unfortunate that you would almost have to dictate things in a manner that is very straight forward. You comply or you get punished.

Sounds so easy doesn't it.
I wish it were that easy.
regardless of how complicated it really is I still whole heatedly believe that a strong UN would be a great thing for global affairs.

To where it should be located. If it were arranged to be bipartisan in nature, it should not matter.

Does any one have a list of the countries that make up the UN?

Here it is [United Nations Member States]

Um no we don't want a strong UN. A strong UN would impose their rules on others. Which sounds nice except that also implies to us. They already trying to impose global laws on counties, which is totally unacceptable.

Like the USA is still in the UN, in the way that it listens to its message of Peace and Human Rights.

Heck china and russia both have a permanent seat on the Security Council and have veto powers. China the government that runs organ farms where they lock religious people so they can harvest and sell their body parts to rich people around the world. Who will break into your home and do on the spot abortions often killing people because they accidently got pregnant. Talk about a sick country. Then we got russia who totally oppose almost everything we do and is a fascist nation. You disagree with their president and you 'disappear' the next day.

You know the only reason we picked the 5 nations on the secuirty council because at the time they were the only 5 with nuclear bombs. I mean, great way to pick them right?

Seriously if anyone thinks they are looking out for world peace your a moron. Half the countries in the UN would take a bribe to kill their own country men. You think they want to protect YOU?

Yeah. Actually, I can't even think of a single country in the UN that isn't in Europe, and that doesn't suck hard balls... Mmm. Maybe the EU (European Union) should just take over everything. Would be fun.

Everyone is in the UN, Afghanistan, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Korea, China, Russia, Sudan, Syria. Lets all come togather and vote on how best to run our government. Yea Right.

Like I said before, it isn't about other countries opinions when it comes to the US. Like I said, we cut funding for countries who vote against us. We don't care at all about the world. The UN is just stupid and can't really do anything.
