    22%…….That’s bullshit! Not only NO, but HELL NO!

  2. 83delta

    That POS operation could only exist in that freakin NE liberal bastion of NY.

    Move that sum bitch out west, those UN freaks would run into Americans that would be their worst nightmare.

    Disgusting, shame on us for not running that off the continent, over to those inbred ingrates in the EU.
    Shame on our gutless elitist political hacks running this country.

  3. A. S. Wise- VA (Republican Space Ranger)

    Short answer, NO!

  4. Ang

    Ahh NO…

    The UN is outdated and serves no useful purpose any longer.

  5. Jeff

    Since I don’t think the U.S. should even be a member, I guess I’d have answer….NO!

  6. Kurt(the infidel)

    Yeah right! we’re paying for these renovations for a building that houses a useless organization that stonewalls the US at every turn. screw the UN and get them out of our country.

  7. Laura (atypical white Canadian)

    No. I think it’s time for the democratic states to leave the UN and to set up their own organization. The UN is a farce and it does more harm than good.

  8. AARON

    DC-YOU beat me to it, but I will say it again anyway.Not just “no”, BUT HELL NO! :smile:

  9. Typical White Texas Mom

    Not just no, but hell fucking no.

  10. CBL

    Yeah lets fund an organization that gives us shit at every turn. I say let the camel jockeys fund it, that is who the UN cares about anyways.

  11. infidel

    If they will move OUT, far away and not come back.

    The UN should be somewhere more *diverse*. Closer to the people they should be helping.

  12. JJIrons

    NO!! I fact, they should be thrown off our soil.

  13. SOC

    The biggest single waste of money sprung on the American Taxpayer. Not much more than a nest for spies. Certainly not trying to stop Nuclear Iran. They are certainly less than accountable referring to the dealings over oil with Sadam Hussein and more recently not wanting to be accountable for funds absconded by officials currently running the show.
    I wouldn’t spend a another dime till every dollar missing was accounted for. Next time Moon makes a negative comment about
    the US, referencing Syria, Iran, or Palestinians, fire his ass.

  14. Gandalf

    Suggest they move to Dubai and the United States resign from the stinking organization.

  15. Q_Mech

    Only if by “renovate” you mean “JDAM the living crap out of it until the rubble bounces”.

    Oh, and you might want to sound a warning for everyone to evacuate. Once the rubble is bouncing. :wink:

  16. Vehement

    Motherfuckers!

  17. Greg M

    Hell no we shouldn’t pay! I think we should leave we have created a monster and it is time to get out they are a bunch of fucking ass holes.

  18. rightangle

    Definitely not. Unless it goes to reconverting the place back into the old brewery that used to be at that site :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

  19. Eddie in Cali

    So much for pulling your own weight :evil:

  20. Kim

    Of course the fact that the UN is on some of the most expensive soil in America rent free doesn’t seem to play into the UN’s formula. Where is the sense in spending big money for an orgaization who continually tries to undermine our national security and superpower status, while all the time advancing theres?

    I believe in the old saying “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” but I think Dubai is close enough, thank you.

  21. Paslode

    Sinple answer…HELL NO!

  22. Brian H

    Yes — in return for sole veto power over General Assembly resolutions and appointments. ;)

  23. Angry Sapper (typical white vet.)

    I worked with the UN during Kosovo back in ’99, didn’t see them in Afghanistan or Iraq (2003 & 2005). As far as I am concerned they are a fucking joke, and I am speaking from experience here. Waste of money if you ask me….

  24. Marc Stockwell-Moniz

    NO.
    The U.N. out of the U.S. NOW!
    And the U.S. out of the U.N. NOW!

  25. Goodbye Natalie

    I personally want some reimbursement. I think every red blooded American who has footed 22% of this POS should be allowed, by raffle, to walk into any office and take anything they want. That’s my idea of a U.N. renovation.

    Afterwards, raze the thing and make a monument of Mickey Mouse.

  26. RC

    A Circus tent is too good for these clowns and a lot cheaper too, and agreed let’s move it offshore far away…

  27. Sully0811

    Why aren’t they just using the surplus money from the “bankrupt” food program or the money their member scammed from Oil for Food? The UN refuses to hold itself accountable for its failures, we should cut them off.

  28. franchie

    the UN = Nato = Obsolet reminds of antiquity

  29. Marc

    Yeah, pay for the demo of that sty, and turn it into what it has been for 60 years a sewage treatment plant only this time it won’t be backed up all the time.

    I would glad pay for the shipping of all their effects to their new headquarters location of say Harare, Zimbabwe, or Mogadishu, Somalia. That would be great!

  30. SOC

    Close the UN. Let the Europeans have it. Let them fund it and put up with all the BS we have in the US. Let the EU find out
    what it is like for some of their proposed friends to piss down their back and simply say,”it must be rain” America needs to plan for its own future and let all this out of country bullshit go. We try to do what’s right and the Commie Chinese
    build a secret sub/air base on Hainan island. Stop giving China all the jobs. Let the US people have the work. Fuck China, Russia, N Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Iran pieces of shit…

    I read the above responses, and marvel that there are so many wonderful ways of saying “NO!”
