http://news.yahoo.com/north-koreans-reportedly-turn-cannibalism-due-hidden-famine-122128957.html

News out of North Korean in notorious unreliable, but food shortages in the country have gotten so bad and people so desperate that there are now reports of men murdering their own children for food. These startling reports were compiled by independent reporters commissioned by Asia Press, a independent press agency focusing on Asia, and were published by the Sunday Times. And here's one of the most disturbing thing you'll read this morning:

The source said: "While his wife was away on business he killed his eldest daughter and, because his son saw what he had done, he killed his son as well. When the wife came home, he offered her food, saying: 'We have meat.'

"But his wife, suspicious, notified the Ministry of Public Security, which led to the discovery of part of their children's bodies under the eaves."

Rumors of NK cannibalism have circulated for many years. I am sure some reports are false. I suspect that, given how many rumors about it have come out over the years, that from time to time it does happen, though.

The NK regime is the single largest proponent of evil on the planet today.

They are flat out stating that they are trying to develop a missle that can hit the US, and are about to test a much larger yield nuke soon that they are STATING IS FOR US.

Yet all most Americans care about is honey-boo boo or who the Kardashians are screwing.

Jesus.

You think the Right would applaud this because technically they are eliminating future Communists!

But they represent absolutely zero threat. Not just a small threat but zero threat.

Read about what happened in Europe during the black death of 1348 - 1350.

Parents killed their children, children killed their parents, people dug up the dead, in areas all over europe cats and dogs went extinct because they were killed and eaten.

During the black death of 1348 - 1350 there was a story of a man and his son going to town to buy some food. On the way to town they stopped off at a cousins house. The cousin was dying of the plague, she she begged the man and son to take her child.

They took the child alright, they killed the infant, butchered it, brought it home and told his wife him and his son got a small pig. The wife cooked the child and the family ate it.

Never underestimate what people are capable of.

~ EDIT ~

I took a picture of the book this story came from if anyone wants to read it.

This is too ignorant to even respond to.

Don't look under your bed, I think a monster is under there. I could shred your arguments to tatters without any effort, so it's probably best for your state of mind that you don't respond, as you said.

You read it here first folks, nuclear missiles are "Not just a small threat but zero threat". We all know that crazy people are too responsible to do anything rash.

NK has no nuclear missiles. And won't anytime soon.

I believe that was the subject. They're working on those while their people starve. If anything, their trading partner - Iran - will give them a boost.

Yes, they are "working on it".

Their 2006 nuclear test was a possible misfire and had 1/16h the yield of Hiroshima's bomb, 60 years prior. Their 2009 test, which was "successful" still had a kiloton blast significantly less than Hiroshima.

So, not only are they very light on materials, but also on knowledge. Weaponizing a warhead is tricky enough, and a waste of time anyway, as they have absolutely nothing to put it on (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...th-koreas-new-missiles-are-fakes-7681655.html).

And before anybody so much as begins talking about NK making money by selling to terrorists, please put the Tom Clancy novel down.

Meanwhile, the country is continually flirting with economic collapse as a result of its deathly ineptitude, and despite a hugely underfunded military, it still takes 25-30% of the country's GDP to keep that going.

The reason the average American spends more time on honey boo boo is that each of us have a greater chance of being flattened by her mother to death than ever killed in anything NK does.

Coincidentally the outbreak started around that area in the book Wold War - Z.

Maybe the author will have the unfortunate experience of being prescient....

OK I will respond once only because your lack of understanding. I don't want anyone to actually think you are even remotely correct.

I will do it very simplistically, and even use the same source as you.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...hit-the-united-states-says-south-8430340.html


Please look at the date in your article. The launch at the end of 2012 was a success. And if the nuke they are going to test is using highly enriched uranium, instead of plutonium, that means they are working on nukes that can be mounted on a ICBM. The yeild of the upcoming test will say a lot.

They may be "years away" from being able to weaponize effectively, but years tend to fly by quickly. And there are 28,000+ Americans who can be nuked by NK without a 3 stage rocket who would probably laugh you out of the room with your faux-expertise on this subject.

In the future, when you are using Google to try and make up for a lack of knowledge, it is always wise to check the date of the article that you use as justification of your position.

Now go be a good sheep and browse TMZ.

Experts have said they also believe North Korea is years away from being able to mount a nuclear device on a missile.

And there are 28,000+ Americans who CANNOT be nuked by NK with anything who would probably laugh you out of the room with your faux-expertise on this subject.

Here's a question I've asked before and the response is crickets' chirps. I'll ask it again because I know you have no answer: Please name a single country in history that has committed obvious, pre-known suicide by an action.

The situation is simple:

1) NK has nothing approaching the ability to hit any US territory with a nuclear weapon any time soon
2) Eventually, if NK ever gets this ability, and doesn't implode first, there's 0% chance it will ever use said weapon on the US. You cannot, nor can anybody, come up with a single reasonable reason that NK would attack the US with a nuclear weapon, if it had one capable of the feat. Which it doesn't. And which it won't for a long time (if ever).

Now go be a good sheep and browse TMZ.

I applaud the man for making the hard decisions necessary. A man of the year indeed, he understands the importance of a powerful, well funded military.
