can you even tell us, without namecalling of other nations, you want us out of the UN?i mean, documented reasons, not just rhetoric
10/22/2005 4:35:59 PM
It is true, I have no objection to the UN per-se. Why withdraw? We have the right to refuse to pay the UN's bills, we may consider taking them up on that option. But getting out would just be silly.
10/22/2005 4:45:20 PM
^^can you name the times that anyone has believed in ANYTHING using documented reasons and NOT just rhetoric?it's like asking a fish to swim without gills.

Isolationism in the age of globalization is the way to go obviously.
10/22/2005 5:13:41 PM
why should the rest of the world be able to dictate things we can and cant do here?for example: im sure some of you care that the UN wishes to ban all world citizens from possessing firearms.

No reason to withdraw from the United Nations. Afterall, if utilized correctly, it's an excellent means for the United States to force our agenda down the throats of other nations. It also keeps the third world nations pacified by providing a false sense that their voice actually means something to the bigger, more powerful nations out there. Worst case, if they do ever pass something we don't like, we can simply ignore them. About every nation on the planet does this, so I see no harm in us doing it as well.Oh yeah, and I suppose they can do some good for humanity, unite the world, etc.

What I dislike is that soo many conflicts have been started by US presidents under the UN charter, didn't even ask congress, the fucktards!

It doesn't, only the UN has so far attempted to pull such restrictions. Or do you think it was America's idea for most of the third world to go socialist and vote repeatedly in the UN general assembly to condemn the US.

Ideally, I'd like to erect a wall, stretching to outer space, blocking off the United States from the rest of the world. All lines of communication would be cut, and we would have loud music playing near the perimeters to keep us from hearing anything from the outside ever.

can someone please tell me how the UN will restrict our rights, if the U.S. has a veto?

Personally, I think the states in the union should have retained a right to veto federal shit. Something like "a bill passed in no less than 3/5 of the member states, utilizing their respective processes, is sufficient to rescend any federal statute/bill."
12/7/2005 6:37:01 PM
Agree with THABIGL on this one too. UN is bad news: conditioning people to accept world government, surrenduring our national sovereignty to the UN, the UN is pushing gun control and gun bans, etc. "Avoid foreign entanglements" -- George Washington

^IRAQ!!!!!!!!!
12/9/2005 3:31:13 PM
12/9/2005 3:45:11 PM
the UN and our hatred of the "tolerance" movementand "liberals" agree with me on opposition to the war in Iraq, etc.that's being independent and not locked into supporting and being blindly loyal to one party
12/9/2005 3:48:48 PM
^^^^ Yes lets use a quote from a prestigious well-known source to prove our point..OOOOOPPS!!! I just forgot he said that in an age which the entire world was in a COMPLETELY different situation than it is today. Seems like good policy making to me. Lets go study how the esteemed leaders of the day handled the trade situations of the 18th Century and then base our current trade policies using one sentence quotes from their policy. The best part is, it's unpatriotic to not agree with a founding father!!!! win-win!!

^^ Actually, the trade situation was not altogether dissimilar to todays. Shortly after Washington spoke those words, the second round of globalization started.

I think the downfall of segregation was a result of the south being unable to maintain a majority. As such, if 50% was beyond their reach then I'm certain 60% would be.That said, I suspect it would still work if the requirement was higher, say 3/4th or so. [Edited on December 11, 2005 at 7:38 PM.

I agree with Thabigl (*gasp*). I believe the UN is simply a prelude to a world government. They are already trying to wrestle control of the internet away from the US. Nonsense. I say we pull out of the UN and kick their HQs out of the US. Let them set up shop in Brussels, the world capital for socialism.
12/12/2005 12:21:07 PM
WHAT A SHOCK! PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH ME! I had almost lost hope in this place!
12/12/2005 1:53:31 PM
And then the US can set its own course for the world! (b/c you know theres guys up top that will)EU=/=UN, I dont get where socialism comes into this.
