how the latest argument is started .If from one side meat products can not pass how can be pass from other part . Producer are pushing pressure over the Soyer goverment .
but when i looked from the consumer side . we are right to buy goods from where we can get cheaper . Am i wrong ? they have to find ways to reduce their prices . Also if we don't do bussiness between eachother , how we can live in this island together .
This is applies for both sides . By stopping people at the check points and scaring them does not help at all for peace efforts .
Also i am asking our GC's forum friends if u are insisting with excuses not visiting north or not communicating with them .... how can we live together .... don't bother to writing down all your well knowing excuses ....
they are all meaningless and selfish excuses for me ....
I can come over there and mixed with you and u can find excuses ....excuses .... see whats happening at the end .....
