BEIJING (Reuters) - Talks on North Korea's nuclear program ended abruptly with no progress on Thursday after four days of negotiations derailed by the issue of funds frozen in a Macau bank.

Throughout the session, which began on Monday, North Korea avoided discussing a February deal to shut its main nuclear reactor by mid-April, demanding that $25 million at Macau's Banco Delta Asia first be transferred to a bank in Beijing.

North Korean envoy Kim Kye-gwan left for home suddenly without talking to reporters, but a North Korean government source in Beijing said: "Our delegation went home because there was no progress on the promised transfer of the funds."

Damn, I wish I knew what to do with those (not that that would make any difference.) I think that more and more all of the worlds "leaders" are taking liberties with normals like us lives'. The one thing that frustrates me about growing up is having heard the adults tell us that we are acting immature and selfish, and then we grow up and see that nothing has changed. This goes for a lot of the people I run into every day of coarse, but with these "leaders" the impacts are more far-reaching. I get really frustrated with the human race. Sometimes I think we would be a lot better off if we lived like we did pre-technology/ rat race, where our main concern was staying alive. If we were preoccupied with finding a deer to kill for dinner, we wouldn't have time to come up with all these bullshit arguements to have. Of coarse there would still be war, but not end-of-humanity nuclear wars. Plus there is something more honorable in besting a guy with a sword than pushing a button and vaporizing thousands of people.
