nonew3 Even if a job pays well, you can't really do your job very well if your health is deteriorating. If I were you, I'd be looking for another job that pays fairly well, one that won't ruin your health.

Should North Korea stop focussing on its military so much?

goodlooksecrets @goodlooksecrets (46) 21 Sep 10

nonew3 It is horrible that North Korea has spent so much money on its military and just allowed so many millions to starve to death and to die of preventable diseases due to very poor healthcare or no healthcare whatsoever. I simply do not understand why they have...
