#1 This should be example number one when discussing the concept of money as a fungible resource.

The Norks will always pay for the things they want the most with there own money and then beg for the rest.

In effect what any donation to them from the UN or anywhere else does is to fund the Nork military.

"......then let them die and decrease the surplus population....."

#2 So the farmers will starve, and suckers like us and the SKors will rush in with food aid to feed them, so that the army can eat.

#3 Exactly! Give that man a cigar!

Same as in any other dictatorship. This is one of the reasons Africa is such a hellhole.

#5 Its like we are looking into a crystal ball for our country if we fall asleep at the wheel. Its not hard to imagine the liberal illuminati party forcing us to ration things like energy, food, or our pocket change due to rising prices, no domestic energy, and the removal of small businesses from the country.

#6 That is exactly what Gore is trying to do. Get everyone else to 'cut back' on their lifestyle so he and his elitist friends can enjoy their private-jet-set lifestyle.

As well as meet in exotic locations which doesn't have enough space to park all the private jets.
