South Koreans actually aren't allowed to go to North Korea, are they? This fellow took an "unauthorized" trip to North Korea and got arrested when he came back. Escaped might technically be the right word, even if it implies a certain amount of undue urgency. |
South koreans are allowed to travel outside of this country. There have also been tens of thousands.. if not hundreds of thousands, of South koreans that have visited the DPRK. The issue is often travelling there without passing it through the gov.
'escape', to me, means being held. They were not. They could emigrate to any country that would accept them - as a number have. They chose to return to the DPRK - so be it. |

That's reasonable enough, but would the South Korean Government really have simply let them repatriate to North Korea with its blessings? If so, why did they take the detour through China? |

Perhaps because there are no commercial transportation links; no buses, planes or public access roads between the ROK and the DPRK (excluding Kaesong industrial complex) .

NoHoper: I thought you'd given up your trolling on this subject earlier on in the year but here we go again. Anyway far be for me to question your agenda but you pretty much bring ridicule on yourself with a statement like the following.....

| Why would I go to North Korea, when I can pray to make America and Canada, and South Korea into Socialist countries? Please think before you say something strange. |
Yes, I'm sure your prayers will help bring about a socialist revolution in those countries....

| After all, you once supported the Sunshine Policy. It's time for you to do it once again. |
Speak for yourself. I for one never supported the Sunshine policy. It was a dismal failure which poured millions of S.Korean taxpayers dollars into Kim Jong Il's pocket and thousands of tons of rice into the coffers of the NK military for absolutely nothing in return. Its tragic to say but theres only one language the DPRK regime understands and thats force. Your talking of 'loving' and praying is just pure drivel I'm afraid.
With regards to couple defecting back to the DPRK, this might shed a bit more light on the subject.....

What is my agenda? You seem to know more about this than me.

At least you're agreeing with me indirectly. Thank you for being a champion for the North Korean government.

Love is more powerful than the military might of a country. You can't cure people with violence. It's impossible. You can't communicate between people or countries with violence. And you should understand that even the most violent country should show some love.
Like I said before. Is the extreme hate against North Korea worth it? Is there any merit of extremely hating something?
It's ok to ridicule me. Please do, falco. You're my good friend.  (kisses falco's forehead~) You should ridicule me and thank you. |

Love??! The regime in the DPRK is one of the (if not THE most) totalitarian and brutal dictatorships in human history. There are only two ways it will ever fall - implosion or from outside force. I know this is tragic but its absolutely true nonetheless.
As I said several times before, I DONT hate the North Korean people. I DO hate the almost incalculable suffering the Kim regimes have inflicted on their people over the decades however.
Anyway I'm finished with debating your foolishness now. I've got better things to do with my time quite frankly. |

If you only focus on the negative side of things, you will become a very negative person in life and towards the world. This is a very unhealthy attitude to any morally-upright modern man.

If you don't think love and positive thinking are unimportant, then you are likely a very grumpy old man who is too stubborn and is afraid of new ideas. You're not respecting yourself.
I have said nothing bad about you and you are calling me foolish? I don't know who is the real fool here. Maybe we are both fools if you think about it.
You will talk to me again anyways in Dave's ESL Cafe. And will you say that I'm a fool again?
I will say this again. Is the extreme hate against North Korea worth it? Is there any merit of extremely hating something?
(I don't need to demand answers. I think I know what you would say on this.)
And of course, please think of me as a fool if I truly deserve this bad treatment from you, falco, or from anyone. (Yes, CaptainCorea and jvalmer, you are free to ridicule me  ) |

Think of this differently.
The young Kim Jong-un has sacked a very hardliner military advisor (Ri Yong-ho) not too long ago. This has pretty much forced the South Korean government to slowly but steadily change the policies towards North Korea.
Maybe our hatred against North Korea is the biggest problem. We should be ashamed of ourselves. |
So has he shut down the prision labor camps? |
