U.N. to feed North Koreans after tough winter

The United Nations World Food Program and UNICEF announced Friday plans to launch emergency operations in North Korea to feed an estimated 3.5 million people in desperate need after crop losses and a harsh winter.

Women and children will be the focus of the one-year WFP operation, which is expected to cost just over $200 million, the WFP said.

    I'm so sad right now. I just found out that I don't know who my daddy is. You see, my mother is a crack-ho and turns about 40 tricks a day(on a slow day) and she has no idea who knocked her up with me, popeye the gay re-tarded loser. It really makes me sad at times : > (
    But not today! I got 5 big black shlongs (2 in my butt) to swallow and I am so happy. If only daddy could see me now.
    I'm popeye and I am a big gay, re-tarded loser.

    It looks like the Tea Partiers took over this web page,too. All this profanity seems to have gotten out of hand like Joseph McCarthy already said and that's disgusting.

    Speaking of sacrilegeous( i would spell it "sacreligious but remember, I'm not only gay...I am RE-TARDED too), I like the feel of a nice black sac in the palm of my hand. My mother taught me just how to hold it (I'm an expert now). I so lucky to have 5 sweaty sacs at my disposal right now.
    Whooohoo!
    I'm popeye the illiterate, gay, re-tarded loser and I love being GAY.

    Anyway, someone will coming down to the basement of the motel where your mother turns tricks for crack and settling this matter. (You might want to hide your stash of butt lube and gay videos) Sucks to be you, popeye the gay, illiterate, re-tarded butt pirate LOSER.

    Hal, give me manual hibernation
    control.

    HAL
    Have you decided to revive the
    rest of the crew, Dave?

    PAUSE.

    CONTINUED

    BOWMAN
    Yes, I have.

    HAL
    I suppose it's because you've
    been under a lot of stress, but
    have you forgotten that they're
    not supposed to be revived for
    another three months.

    BOWMAN
    The antenna has to be replaced.

    HAL
    Repairing the antenna is a pretty
    dangerous operation.

    BOWMAN
    It doesn't have to be, Hal. It's
    more dangerous to be out of
    touch with Earth. Let me have
    manual control, please.

    HAL
    I don't really agree with you, Dave.
    My on-board memory store is more
    than capable of handling all the
    mission requirements.

    12/14/65 c103

    C118
    CONTINUED

    BOWMAN
    Well, in any event, give me the
    manual hibernation control.

    HAL
    If you're determined to revive
    the crew now, I can handle the
    whole thing myself. There's no
    need for you to trouble.

    BOWMAN
    I'm goin to do this myself, Hal.
    Let me have the control, please.

    HAL
    Look, Dave your've probably got
    a lot to do. I suggest you leave
    it to me.

    BOWMAN
    Hal, switch to manual hibernation
    control.

    HAL
    I don't like to assert myself, Dave,
    but it would be much better now for
    you to rest. You've been involved
    in a very stressful situation.

    12/14/65 c104
    ------------------------
    C118
    CONTINUED

    BOWMAN
    I don't feel like resting. Give
    me the control, Hal.

    HAL
    I can tell from the tone of your
    voice, Dave, that you're upset.
    Why don't you take a stress pill
    and get some rest.

    BOWMAN
    Hal, I'm in command of this
    ship. I order you to release
    the manual hibernation control.

    HAL
    I'm sorry, Dave, but in
    accordance with sub-routine
    C1532/4, quote, When the
    crew are dead or incapacitated,
    the computer must assume
    control, unquote. I must,
    therefore, override your
    authority now since you are
    not in any condition to intel-
    ligently exercise it.

    BOWMAN
    Hal, unless you follow my
    instructions, I shall be forced
    to disconnect you.

    12/14/65 c105
    ------------------------
    C118
    CONTINUED

    HAL
    If you do that now without Earth
    contact the ship will become a
    helpless derelict.

    BOWMAN
    I am prepared to do that anyway.

    HAL
    I know that you've had that on
    your mind for some time now,
    Dave, but it would be a crying
    shame, since I am so much
    more capable of carrying out
    this mission than you are, and
    I have such enthusiasm and confi-
    dence in the mission.

    BOWMAN
    Listen to me very carefully, Hal.
    Unless you immediately release
    the hibernation control and
    follow every order I give from
    this point on, I will immediately
    got to control central and carry
    out a complete disconnection.

    12/14/65 c106

    C118
    CONTINUED

    HAL
    Look, Dave, you're certainly the
    boss. I was only trying to do
    what I thought best. I will follow
    all your orders: now you have
    manual hibernation control.

    BOWMAN STANDS

    If someone wanted to save North Korea it can easily be done the question is who wants to spend billions to do it, and Cesar just let it go theres nothing we can do since it's the past. A lot of unnecessary war is erupting around the world, why can't we all live life loving one another.

    N. Korea is nothing but an experiment in crowd control. For the experiment to continue, the people must at least be fed. How will a future government control it's own people once those people know exactly how crooked that government is? By taking notes of N. Korea's successes and failures in crowd control. (and the people need energy too, not just food. That's why an NY based firm has always been N. Korea's chief supplier of enriched uranium, although before Bush's energy program made it legal for US corporations to export enriched uranium to unfriendly nations, the uranium bound for N. Korea had to be smuggled through the UK, where it was legal. Pay attention to how the NK gov treats citizens...unless you think everyone but NKs leader is honest and forthcoming.
