LOL
Yea. When you first enter town, walk up to the first patrol you see and yell "So Te Duoing Su! Mei Dung Sow!"
Which roughly translated is "your mama's in bed with rats. The wonderful Ruler is a fairy".
They will take you whereever you want to go at that point.
North Korea has no economy. None. Kaput! They are a slave entity of the rul ...[text shortened]... oycott? With the chinese laughing out the side of their mouth at the un each and every day?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_%28legume%29
"Pulses are defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as annual leguminous crops yielding from one to twelve grains or seeds of variable size, shape and color within a pod. Pulses are used for food and animal feed.
The term pulses, as used by the FAO, is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry grain. This therefore excludes green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops. Also excluded are crops which are mainly grown for oil extraction (oilseeds like soybeans and peanuts), and crops which are used exclusively for sowing (clovers, alfalfa).
Pulses are important food crops due to their high protein and essential amino acid content. Like many leguminous crops, pulses play a key role in crop rotation due to their ability to fix nitrogen.

Originally posted by no1marauderChina didn't want UN Sanctions on Korea yesterday, but they were put on there anyway. It's a give and take process, as stubborn as China is, they don't want to piss off the world either. Just because they have a permanent seat in the security council doesn't mean it really is permanent, you know.
If China doesn't want UN sanctions, there won't be any - they have a veto on the Security Council, the only part of the UN that can impose sanctions.

Originally posted by FurorThere are no UN sanctions unless they are approved by the Security Council. Read a book.

Here's what was passed yesterday:
The resolution bans all U.N. member states from selling material or technology for missiles or weapons of mass destruction to North Korea, and from receiving missiles, banned weapons or technology from Pyongyang.
China and Russia blocked the resolution from invoking Article 7, which would have made it enforceable by military means.

Really?
Well. I'll be damned. They are not starving because china is feeding them.
Really? Why would the chinese do that? They hate the Koreans no end. Say! I got it. Maybe the chinese are USING the koreans against the US in support of their own purposes.
Originally posted by StarValleyWyAnd what purposes are those? You know, america sends plenty of foreign aid all of the world (even to N Korea) and do you think we do the same?

Originally posted by no1marauderI know how the UN works dumbass, and I know what was passed yesterday. The point is China didn't want any sanctions on them but Japan and the US insisted on it. It is all give and take--we compromised no charter 7 as long as some sanctions were put into place. China would look like the bad guy to the world if they vetoed.

Originally posted by FurorActually China succeeded in getting a meaningless, toothless resolution passed rather than the one basically calling for war that our dimwit President wanted. Bush agreed to it for PR reasons so idiots like you would think something got done.

Question for ya: When was the last time any UN member state admitted sending missiles or WMD technology to or receiving the same from N. Korea?
