This guy crossed a frozen river into North Korea on Christmas Eve with a letter in hand that God loves and will save Kim Jong-il.

That guy really is a nuisance. Now an American politician will have to go over and be real nice to Kim Jong Il to get him released. Personally I don't think any country should be having anything to do with North Korea at all.

We do not know that that is what he is. He may just be a garden variety schizophrenic obeying the voice of God.

If you still talk to imaginary fiends, you are a schizophrenic obeying the voice of god.

If you talk to God that is prayer.
If God talks to you that is schizophrenia?
Come on, that's pretty one-sided.

Let this guy sit in a gulag for awhile and see how much religion does for him.

Let's face it. If there is a God, there is no way he is retarded enough to reward idiots like this dude.

If he is, I'd rather be in the other place.

Some people apparently can't get through life without maintaining the belief that there is some magic parent in the sky watching over them.

I imagine ongoing scientific/medical research will shed further light on this - perhaps even to the point that the particular gene sequence responsible will be identified.

And Jimmy imagines a spritual leader will emerge and prove to us that we were created in 6 days. It's better to posit your outcome with "More than likely..."

Why should the US government worry for a second about this guy?

That Dresnock crossed over, became a movie star, had a family yada yada.

It was this fool's idea to cross over, so it's up to him to make a life of it. If his life is a gulag, so be it.

Him and his smug, crazy family expect that he'll get released after some bigshots intervene. This is all part of this loons agenda.

They should've let those reporters rot too.

dumb asses everwhere.

So the bible is basically a book full of schizophrenics who god talked to?


I like that argument. Very Happy

From what I've heard of the guy, he wasn't really crazy. He just wanted to bring awareness to what was going on in N.Korea. I guess it didn't work b/c people don't really give a shit about N.Korea(ns).
