UN Owes US 18 million dollars and wants us to give them 200 milion.

    I sometimes wonder if smoking crack is a pre-requisite for working at the UN. Did anyone hear about this? I guess the UN has $18 Million Dollars in unpaid parking tickets. They are asking the US for another $200 million dollars.

    I say make them pay the parking tickets first. Apparently the country that has racked up the most unpaid parking tickets is Egypt.

    I also heard that the US is responsible for paying 25% of all the peace keeping funds. Why don't we just make the UN move. We could reclaim some valuable real-estate and be rid of the largest money wasting organization on the planet.

    The money is owed by UN diplomats and not UN itself. :rolleyes:

    Diplomats can avoid such parking fines because of their diplomatic statue which makes them immune against the laws of the host country.
    Here is another example about how USA diplomats avoid paying the fines in UK.

    Thanks to a 2002 deal with NYC and the UN, dimplomats do not enjoy diplomatic immunity from NYC parking violations. As a result the city has collected some 3 million dollars. They are further allowed to remove license plates from diplomats vehicles upon 3 violations.

    Apparently the US does withhold economic aid to the UN, PLUS 10 percent for all unpaid parking tickets.

    I think what he is trying to say is that the UN is a vital part in preventing the US (that thinks it's the worlds policeman) from ruining the world. But I could be wrong Mia.
    I have my Microsoft SHEEPLE ALERT switched off, hence the reason I can read your posts. :D

    No, they wouldn't. US can't take over Russia without UN, because Russia has enough nukes to prevent such invasion. And now is China also getting more military advanced. Also, US has probably the best democratic system the big three.
