Isn't it time that we told the UN to move elsewhere?

Question

What are the arguments, pro and con for the UN either remaining in the US or moving to another country like, say, Belgium?

Answer 1

I'm all for sending them elsewhere and removing our financial support.

Answer 2

I say move the UN over to a neutral country, like Switzerland.

Either that, or move it to Greenland.

Answer 3

I vote for sending them elsewhere. No more money or support from the US. 'International Gun Ban' my f***y, no conglomeration of miserable third world countries are gonna tell ME what I can and can't do.

Answer 4

They are good tenants paying the rent for the building in Manhattan, let them stay, anyway they all have Alzheimer's and we can charge them as much as we want

Answer 5

I read some stupid things here, sorry to say. First of all, the UN has nothing to do with the EUROPEAN UNION. The European Union is something America has no part in and let's hope they never do. The UN is an organisation that would be better of without America because like everything else in the world, America thinks they are boss and they get to do what they want. Sorry to say this, but most Americans don't know what goes on in the world unless America is involved.

The UN doesn't pay anything to America for they're building in New York. That piece of land is not American soil. It's the same principal as an embassy. The American embassy in France is American Soil. The Belgian embassy in Washington is Belgian soil. Same principal for the UN.

Belgium is home to NATO, the European Union, it is the centre of Europe. We would be proud to be the home of the UN.

The UN is not stealing money from America. Have you ever heard of the UN-peacekeepers, the ones with the blue helmets? They are the ones who will get to clean up the mess America is going to leave in Irak. They have been involved in operations to keep innocent people from getting killed in conflicts over land and power. They help with humanitarian missions like in Somalia.

UNICEF is the part of the UN that helps children in less fortunate countries. They educate them, provide medicine, food, water, shelter and protection. Unicef is one of those causes that recieves money from every country in the UN. You mean to tell me that you don't care if millions of children die because you don't want America to help them?

Did you know that 40 dollars can provide a whole African family with water, for a whole year. 5 dollars gives one child a vaccination that could give him the opportunity to live longer than 4years.

And not only America gives money to the UN, every country "donates". It's not stealing, it's donating. If you want out of the UN, be my guest. We can do without the American ego. America only cares about what's good for America. But believe me when I say, America is fragile. America can turn it's back on the world if it wants to, but don't be surprised that when America needs the world, the world turns it's back on America. It could happen tomorrow or next week, but it will happen. History can show you the future. And unless you all look to history and learn from your mistakes, you will meet your downfall sooner than you think.

Feel free to speak your mind, and let me know what your findings are on this statement.

Answer 6

Or like Africa somewhere, or Indonesia, or some lost island somewhere in the Antarctic area.   But, I have to remember that it was our (U.S.'s) idea to have this organization in the first place, so, maybe we're "reap(ing) what we sew(ed)".  God Bless you, and God help us against the U.N.

Answer 7

What are you talking about?The UN is not in the US at all anyhow. They are in Europe already.The Us is just a part of it.UN stands for United Nations.If you would pay attention you would know this already.Let`s see if i can explain this to you.OK! U.S stands for United States.When all the country`s in Europe decided that it would be more efficient to work together for once, they formed the UN.The UN is just like the 50 US States only over in Europe !!!!!! It just  took them a while to learn that Unity is the only way to go if we want the world to live in peace.Once the UN was created the US knew it needed to be part of it over there in Europe.Why would you want to move it when it already is already  in Europe?I don`t know where you went to school ,but you seriously need to either change schools or go back to school.I am sorry but your question is one of the dumbest i ever heard.

Answer 8

No! Keep them here. We need to charge them rent to pay back all the billions they have stolen from us first. Oh, and then throw them out.

Answer 9

It was time to kick the UN out thirty years ago. It was a haven for espionage during the cold war, and does nothing but house those who despise the U.S. and all we represent. If they're going to hate us, let them do it from Burkina Faso. At least they won't be draining off of our economy. We could turn the UN building into low income housing; of course it would require an upgrade, but after that.....

Answer 10

The land that the United Nations building is on does not belong to the United States.

It is located in the United States, but is not part of it.
