the only thing to fear from NK, is the refugees that will flee the county once the air strike commences.. millions of midgets .. fear the midget..
Now you've done it, Orison! Every online perv with a midget fetish is going to be booking a flight to northeastern China!
they are small because of year of sanctions and malnourished. This malnourishment also effects their mental health. really wouldnt need to bomb them with anything more than a few million tons of propaganda pamphlets, western magazines, ipods loaded with information and justin beiber videos. This shit will blow their minds..
No, it isn't. I get the country possibly having a 'Napoleon complex' but not Kim jong il and Kim Jong un, as one is of similar size to an ex French leader and the other is of average height (5ft 9). Neither look(ed) like they had/have a Napoleon complex. Also, many other countries have been saber-rattling, and their leaders wouldn't be linked to having a 'Napoleon complex'. So, just wondered what their issue might be.
I like, kinda already agreed to everything you just so rudely said. While you just ignored everything else I said. If I'm admitting it's divergent, and you don't feel like diverging, what's the point of replying?
I always feel for the people of N. Korea, who are starving to death and suffering from unimaginable psychological trauma due to the personality cult of Kim Jong Un - and his father and grandfather before him. Keep these kind of things in mind next time you make malnourished jokes, etc. North Korea has allies - and photos showing political leaders from the UK enjoying amusement park rides with Kim Jong Un would suggest the allies may be coming to include countries that would surprise you. China is losing it's patience with N. Korea, too. It wouldn't surprise me if in the near future Kim Jong Un found himself without friends...and the ghosts of all the people who have been tortured and slaughtered under his rule will be waiting for him...
Yes. This is precisely what makes leaders like Kim Jong and his family so despicable. The majority of people in NK probably just want their families to survive and have a decent life, just like the rest of us. Instead, their leaders take actions that cause them to be worse off, to starve, to be uneducated, to fear for their lives, to become desperate. Desperate people with empty bellies are easily led so that when such leaders blame another country for their woes (in this case, SK and America) in service of whatever self aggrandizing fantasy they're living, the people with the empty bellies will follow if they think it will improve their situation. It's sad really...and such a difficult situation for the rest of the world to deal with. Neither military action nor sanctions seem to be the right answer. I don't know what might be a good response.
If any of you have netflix, there's a nat geo documentary on north korea where their journalists actually went into the country. I forgot the name of it but it is a good watch. Those people are so brainwashed it is unbelievable. For example they have enclosures around park benches to preserve them, rather than actually use them. The footage in that doc. depicts a very very strange and bleak place.
you can watch VICE in NK, its in the sidebar of this one.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKAV93_vdbI"]North Korea exposes life in the USA - YouTube
^^^ watch some of this and tell me they have a reason not to think similarly of our society... "A North Korean documentary on Western propaganda (2012)" http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/propaganda.php
that one was interesting, i thought the vice one was a bit better though. the vice documentary about north korean labour camps in siberia is pretty crazy too. the part that hit me the hardest in the nat geo one was near the end, when they removed the bandages and the people could see for the first time in years... and they immediately thanked the great leader instead of the doctor who fucking fixed their eyes.
Very interesting. I watched the first 10 min and intend to watch the rest when I'm not drunk. My first impressions though on the opening script that's subtitled.. they talk about the great leader and eternal president blah blah blah. Those people are so fucking weak and brainwashed they would never effect change on their own. I don't deny the fundamental problems of our society. But for one it is a very very large, diverse and dynamic society. And additionally, if enough of us wake up which I believe is happening now, we can effect change. Most of us (both natives and immigrants) are here on a core set of values that transcends political, religious, and lifestyle ideologies. In the US we do have the power to harness the good aspects of humanity and actually effect change across the globe. North Korea is a sad and limited society so if you are sympathizing their cause I suggest you think more deeply.
