i was thinkin more something along the lines of something that modifies the way it looks in order to appear tough, but when it's not "flexing," it's nothing. whatever. my brain hurts. i haven't smoked all day. i need some weed to mellow me out.
National Geographic recently published an article on people escaping from North Korea. See http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/02/north-korea/oneill-text Some such refugees manage to make it to South Korea by routes such as China-Laos-Thailand-South Korea. Others are caught by the Chinese and returned to the North Korean gulag. China could help matters (such as freedom) by allowing free transit from Chinese territory to South Korea for such refugees.
Kim Il Sung Sometimes people complain that they were born too late; that they would have enjoyed themselves more in a bygone era. Modern life, with its endless parade of disruptive technologies, is too hectic for them. What these people need is a trip to North Korea. Things are simpler there, far simpler. They only have two television networks. One political party. And the Internet is almost nonexistent there. In the spirit of the discussion I offer this. http://rotten.com/library/bio/dictators/kim-il-sung/
I believe this is coming but not till after the september 2010 mega quake to ruon the west coast. sometime after, china takes tiawan and eventually japan and n korea takes s korea
I agree ... it's not that big a deal if they have a toaster oven.. the one crying the most is Japan.. why because they used Korea for a brothel, no matter how many times they try to rewrite history

So, we've had a nuclear test and detonations underground, a ballistic missile launch that flew over Japan and into the Pacific ocean, and now there are rumours that continental missile launch will occur sometime around June 16th, when Obama is meeting with the South Korean Prez. The USA and other various countries are going to open fire on North Korea ships sailing into sovereign waters - and that could start a shit show. North Korea breaks promises to stop enriching uranium, and their army has ballooned larger than the size of the USA's. Any bets? Anyone?
Kim Jong Il would be well advised to remember the fate of Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister of Japan during World War II. Tojo was tried for war crimes by the International Military Tribunal, found guilty, and hung by the neck until dead on 23 December 1948. Looking at the photograph, he appears to have been given seven or eight feet of rope, probably sufficient for the long drop (merciful neck breaking) as opposed to the short drop (strangulation). Has Kim seen this photo? In the case of Saddam Hussein, videos of the event can be seen on YouTube.
Yes I am betting it all comes to nothing. Its just North Korea trying to get more rice and oil the only way they know how.
# Kim Il Sung's birthday is an official national holiday in North Korea. # The anniversary of his death is also an official national holiday. # The national flower is a hybrid orchid named "Kimilsungia." # Everyone -- including foreign tourists -- is required to bow down before statues of the man. # In print, the North Koreans refer to dates years using a calendar beginning with Kim Il Sung's birth. Thus, the year 1912 is denoted "Juche 1", 1950 is "Juche 39", and so on. I read somewhere that Kim Jong Il requires all triplets to be taken from their parents and raised independently because he believes the next ruler of North Korea will have such an origin. The "holy" trinity. The father as Kim Jong Il, the son as a random triplet (possibly born under an astrological sign of some significance) and the "holy ghost" as his father Kim Sung Il. It will be just like heaven! But seriously Kim Jong Il has all the makings for another father son and holy ghost like religion to spring up in his family name.
More on North Korean: Counterfeiting Then there is the counterfeiting of U.S. $100 bills. The North Koreans have stolen both the printing presses (from Switzerland) and the formula for the pulp and paper of the U.S. currency. Their quality is reputed to be so good that one South Korean Military intelligence official told WorldNetDaily, "The North Koreans must actually lower their counterfeiting standards -- their fake bills are better made than those in the U.S."
Numbers are tricky, the North Korean army is on paper massive, and in practice massive too. But it's filled with equipment that's far beyond outdated, with horrible training, lack of oil and gas and a starving population. Then there's the navy and airforce...................well there really isn't anything to say about the North Korean navy and airforce because it's little more then a crappy joke. South Korea by itself can take on North Korea and win in about 3 days.
Well the South Korean troops can only advance so far in a day before they have to wait for logistics to catch up
It's not cold, it's the plain truth. It's mountainous up there, rural, and remote. You don't march into town on the back of an elephant.
