Women trade sex for food in hungry Korea

overtly lure older men who enjoy party privileges and access to food, the travellers said

Ah, the benefits of being a fat old bureaucrat; nothing like "interns" and access to food. Government worker for life is what we all should aspire to.

Forty notes, most of them concerning the indignity of these young women having to choose between starvation and prostitution.

What victims they are. The poor dears.

Hello? What's happening to everybody else over there? The men? The ugly women? The not-so-young women? Children? They are starving to death.

So who are we directed to feel sorry for? The only people who can find a way to get any food in that damned place.

There was a special on 60 minutes last week re: the state of North Korea. It showed people scouring the sides of the roads for insects to eat.

Hello - fellow Wingnut

I don't remember seeing you at any of the meetings

Thanks for your reply. We are discussing human rights, in particular affronts to dignity, not the irrelevant surrender of sovereignty which has never voluntarily happened in the ENTIRE history of life on earth.

BTW, we OWN the UN.

BTW, we OWN the UN.

Then sell it and cut our losses now please. As an American I do not vote for my government owning nor ruling any international nor Foreign governments. Nor do I condone using my military to add muscle to international corporations / conglomerates while paying "volunteer" Americorpsfolk to provide homeland security.

The UN is not a gov't. That's in spite of the best efforts of some power-hungry people to make it such and others to assume something is reality that isn't so.
