Hey NoHopeSeriously, so do you also support the gulags in North Korea that house around 200,000 political prisoners who live in inhumane conditions?


Perhaps I do. Very Happy Never forget that USA also imprisons too many American citizens and foreigners under the abuse of FBI and the US military.

Here's what I think about the world:

USA = South Korea right now = bad socialist dictatorship

China = Singapore = Canada (another informal Chinese colony) = North Korea = decent socialist dictatorship

Obama = reincarnation of Joseph Stalin


You know, people in general should think beyond the conventional democracy.

I can tell you the other issue about this post. The UK government seems to have better knowledge about how the North Korean government is running than the current South Korean government.

It can only be temporary. The uncle will die too. But can you imagine George P. Bush or Pierce Bush leading US with uncle George?

No less credible than someone grandstanding and trying to show up others in order to gain attention.

Not to worry, after only two months of being here and 800 or so posts, I'm sure you'll find a way to fit in. Wink

Shocked


All I see is people desperately trying their hardest (out of fear?) to express genuine intense emotion, but I see very little of it in their faces.

It looks so empty and fake, no real emotion at all.

More contrived than an Arrirang tv interview with foriegners on the topic of Korean food's 'global impact.'


I think (in most cases) it's genuine emotion evoked by a brainwashed citizenry.

South Koreans must be embarrassed at all of those ridiculous theatrical pictures of "grieving" North Koreans.

Its looks so psychopathic. Abnormal. There is something sinister and deeply disturbing about crowds of people acting in outlandish, freakish demonstrations of crying and fits of tears.

What it is, is the manifestation of an utterly broken, abused and fearful people. Very sad for humanity that millions of people can be so totally enslaved and regimented into such an appaling system. North Korea is a scar on the worlds conscience.

Canada (another informal Chinese colony)

Over 70% of Canada's exports go to the USA, I guess that makes Canada an informal colony of China.

Wonder what other ones you can come up with?
