Oh there hilarious North Korean lies: Kim jong sil is a god who can control the weather. Kim Jong Il invented the hamburger in the year 2000.( he called it double bread with meat). There are no birds in North America, they are all extinct due to starving Americans hunting them to extinction. Due to America's impoverished state they are kept alive by the kind mercy of Kim Jong Un who feeds his mortal enemies with North Korean food that he ships us.( cuz hes such a nice guy). Oh and everyone in America lives in a shanty town.

In many countries in the west there is great freedom to become depressed and work with their psychiatrist, for it is a freedom and a luxury really, just mope around daily, the world isn't working how they desire it too, yet in poor third world country the lower echelons of the population cannot afford to be depressed, they would starve as there exists little or no safety net, they have to depend upon their efforts, through family and necessity they function without end,. thus freedom is a highly subjective subject. there is religious freedom, and religious intolerance too, like the kind of thing we see in Tibet this last half century, the chinese have taken away their freedom and the buddhist monks and tibetan people have peacefully demonstrated since 1959's they had freedom taken from them

It is true that North Korea was originally more properous than South Korea, but South Korea wasn't just a place full of fishing villages and farms. Seoul has traditionally been the capital of Korea, not Pyongyang. It has been capital of Gogyuro (고구려), which was one of the three kingdoms of Korea about 1300 years ago, but never a capital after Korea was unified in AD 668. Also, Busan, a city in the Southeastern coast of South Korea, became quite prosperous during the period of Japanese occupation due to its geological closeness with Japan. South Korea wasn't a barren land full of nothing.

The same thing happens in Venezuela, where we would really appreciate a war to free ourselves from these communist bastards in the government. Our situation is very similar to NK, as the government is always brainwashing the poorest people into thinking that USA is this awful enemy that should be destroyed and that is the one responsible for the 'economic war' that has killed too many people from starvation and lack of medicines. Never ever trust a communist, they will destroy everything you love.

I wish that more people here thought that way, too.

I was lucky enough to have an 9 month Pashto course prior to going and was able to talk reasonably well with these little mini men, and it was a thing to shatter ones naivete to just hear the questions they asked and how they thought through things. There were no 10 year old "children" there any longer, though perhaps long ago there were. I wonder what life in the northern portion of Korea was like prior to the Communists. It would be interesting to know.

Most of the time Americans don’t think about North Korea at all. It’s a small, isolated and not a country that deals on the world stage so we usually forget about it. Occasionally we hear about it and make fun of Kim Jong Un and generally feel sorry for the country’s citizens but that’s about as far as it goes.

And if it can be confirmed that a North Korean ever did reply with that during an interrogation and that person is still alive. Then America needs to deploy every last single military asset to free that person from prison and make that person the new leader of North Korea.

The city I lived in had a street the foreigners called “Trash Street” because people just dropped their trash on the ground. It was right next to a large university, but still nasty. It was hand swept every night, but the residue was always on the street. Don’t get me wrong, the solar and wing farms are great, but there is a lot more to do.

@@salvatorenostrade3331 I guess that by “culturally uneducated” she meant they didn't know there were people with different phenotypes, so it's expected for them to highlight the differences. She's not being uneducated by pointing out asian traits, even if the words are not the best to describe it.

Just a Dragonborn , I watch and listen to south Koreans respond to the issues to the north of South Korea. Am I concerned about Kim Jung un, no I am not. He is not so much the issue. my question is what will it take for north Koreans to say enough is enough. so many decades of being pushed into the ground Is a terrible thing for anyone to have to endure. from what I also understand is that south Koreans have family in N.K.. FEAR is a lower energy that has nothing to do with God. yet people believe in fear more than they believe in God. You will find your answer in this question. not from what I would say to you. Walk in peace and you will find what you seek.

The media portrays American culture as being one great big racist gang battle, so why wouldn't this young man think that way? Many people who live here think the same--they'll do 80 in a 60 zone at rush hour on the interstate, weaving in and out of traffic, but they're afraid of guns...people with a different cultural heritage or minor differences in appearance...people who vote differently but still mean well. Statistically, we ought to be afraid of junk food, inactivity, deficit spending and traffic!
