THE UNITED NATIONS PLEDGE FOR PEACE

I pledge in my daily life, in my family my work, my community, my country and my region, to:

Respect all life
(Respect the life and dignity of each human being without discrimination or prejudice)

Reject violence
(Practice active non-violence)

Share with others
(Share my time and material resources to put an end to exclusion, injustice, and political and economic oppression.)

Listen to understand
(Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity)

PRESERVE THE PLANET
(Promote responsible consumer behavior)

Rediscover Solidarity
(Working together as one unified world)

That's all well and good but I think the UN is full of crap. I like our Pledge of Allegiance. The original, pre-1954 one.

Boy that UN pledege shoulds a lot like something that would come from a communist.

I would rather see a pledge along the lines of:

I pledge to work hard and acheive my highest possible performance in my religion, my family, and myself while supporting the rights of others to do the same.

I think that would be a MUCH better UN pledge.

From the UN Pledge you posted:

Share with others Unfortunately, I think that phrase will be used to try to extract money from western nations to prop up socialist governments in the undeveloped world.

Preserve the Planet That will probably be used to push the highly flawed Kyoto Treaty or some equivalent, despite a lack of scientific consensus about the causes of global warming (it's the sun, but liberal governments can't tax the sun).

Forget the UN Pledge. Dropping "under God" from the American Pledge makes the most sense to me. The words weren't in the pledge to begin with, and they don't have to be there for the Pledge to confirm your loyalty to the country.
