"Human Scum - a bit too short, of Wild Animals , That betray their own Homeland - Are , deepens seems so inappropriate. You Are not safe to be called mongrel dogs, how should the bark, where. "

Ms Kim Said the "owners of mongrel dogs" - That is, The South Korean Government should be held accountable.

the balloon take-offs Are always a sore point between the Two Sides .

Seoul is trying to establish re-relationships with Pyongyang after a year of very Little contact. There Are even to change a push a bill That would allow North Korean firms to companies in South Korean territory.
