Imagine a society where you can�t trust your brother or sister. Where lying becomes so ingrained in you that you can�t stop yourself from doing it. It is an alternate world and when North Korean Refugees come to South Korea they often can�t handle the outside world. For more information about their situation and how to help North Korean Refugees please go to http://www.busanchristian.com/2011/06/most-broken-people.html
The website also list information about a North Korean human rights event happening in Jinju on June 25th.
Have you ever met a North Korean or volunteered to help them? Do you know of any organization which helps refugees in South Korea? |

America in the early 50s made the same list as Nazi Germany and Cultural Revolution China? 
Also, wrong forum. |

| I'm all for helping North Korean refugees, but is trying to convert them to Christianity really the best course of action? |

I used to teach an adult who worked at a gu office. His job was providing govt aid, education, and work placement for these refugees. He said the biggest problem was that they were lazy and didnt want to work.
I wondered how much of that was them feeling hopeless here. |

The Christians in South Korea must be salivating when they think of all the possible-converts up north after unification. I understand the goal of helping North Koreans but I don't understand why religion has to be anything to do with it.
You made the website right? |

I want to say that there are Christian organizations helping North Koreans and they will help them regardless of whether or not they convert.
Also I think it is great there are organizations helping North Koreans whether religious or secular. Please people if you know of any organization helping North Koreans that would be great. I want to know about them it doesn't matter what faith they are from or if they are completely secular. Let's all work together to help North Korean Refugees. |

I heard the same. Apparently just showing up at all and taking breaks all the time is acceptable behavior. |

The title of this post is not entirely on the mark.
Korea divided (1945)
At the Potsdam Conference (July�August 1945), the Allies unilaterally decided to divide Korea�without consulting the Koreans�in contradiction of the Cairo Conference (November 1943) where Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that Korea would be a free nation and an independent country.

| ...as well as the US and British allies, yes I think you've got it now. And this isn't what I mean, this is a recorded fact. Any Korean who didn't sleep through history class knows this, you can ask them yourself. |
