    Well the next chapter in this story will be interesting. Kim Jong Un looks completely insane.. even compared to his auld fella. He'd make a great Bond villain.

    My proposal to free N. Korea without war.

    The rest of the world should get together and fund the making of millions of cheap tablet computers.

    Launch an internet satellite with it's beam focused on N. Korea.

    Air drop millions of these easy to operate tablets that, each time they were switched on, would explain to the people that they are in living hell and don't need to be.

    Internet access would allow N. Koreans to see what goes on outside their open air prison.

    Regime is toppled and Korea reunites.

    Everybody feels good.

    Yeah?

    How many could figure out how to turn them on? Also account for the loss of life for those unfortunate souls who try to eat them or use them as a hand glider...

    Not to mention the thousands locked up in prison camps and treated worse than dogs, and having medical experiments carried out on them.

    A right shower of fucking bastards!

    A lot of famous people have been popping their clogs in the past couple of days. Not only the Dear Leader, but also President Havel of the Czech Republic and our own Alice Glenn. When I heard she had died, I immediately recalled Christy Moore's great line in the song Delerium Tremens about a fellow in the horrors: "I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi along with Alice Glenn. And then I knew I'd never, ever, ever drink again!":D:D

    The funniest thing about his death is we now have a power vacuum in a dangerous nuclear state. This is a great laugh!

    There's certainly no other country in the world where people are controlled in every way, even inside their heads to the extent that this is possible.:cool:

    Few of you are likely to know that most people in North Korea are unaware that men have walked on the Moon. It has never been reported in their media and virtually none of them have access to foreign media or any contact with people abroad. They can't even send letters to or receive them from their relatives in South Korea. Thus they are brainwashed and will weep and cry as soon as they see the newsreader doing that when she announces their Dear Leader's death on TV.:):)

    its frightening really isnt it? imagine being that....Sheltered, screwed up?? jaysus

    Ive seen documentarys where people had the same kind of reaction when the Dear Leader allowed them medical treatment, and they put their cure down to him, and got down on their knees crying and wailing.

    So sad to watch.

    Of course they're aware that North Koreans landed on the moon in 1965, well before the Americans.

    It almost seems like Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' was used as a blueprint for this country! I only read it for the first time about 6 months ago and the similarities are uncanny....the brainwashing, leader worship, squalor, famine etc.

    Interestingly enough, there's only a couple of months between the publication of that book and the founding of DPRK

    Hitchens once drew comparisons between the two, actually



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,084 ✭✭✭oppenheimer1


    While it appears life is pretty grim in North Korea, I wouldn't believe everything I read about it. There is much propaganda about this story, and while North Koreans are only exposed to one side of the story, similarly we are only exposed to the other side.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,013 ✭✭✭kincsem


    I won't believe it until the North Koreans put a boring full page announcement in the Irish Times.

    I'd behave like a nut job too if the alternative is a prison camp for three generations of a family.

    Doesn't explain why I do anyway, but ho hum..

    He got the year of publication wrong, but hey I guess that doesn't suit the story as good.
