North Korea goes full retard

I guess man.

You're right tho, better to let people suffer and starve than to even try. At least that way you'll never be accused of being a hypocrite.

The asian Christians that I know are fucking hardcore. I'd probably call them lunatics too if I weren't Christian myself. As it is I can understand their zeal... but Christ. I've had some interesting conversations with friends and... it's just fundamentally a different understanding of the gospel. I honestly do think it's cultural. But I ain't gonna say they're wrong.

I take the involvement of the church to be much less of a "Jesus makes everything better" statement and much more of a "organized charitable society" confronts the problem sort of statement.

And yeah, the Church would have a part to play. That's part of what the Church is for.

would like to read more of this if you have a good article or something about it.

Let's not have a religious debate in this thread. Feel free to visit the atheism thread.

I watched that eye doctor video a few years back and when they all start crying and thanking dear leader for their eyesight it's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. It would be really interesting to get some straight talk from regular NK citizens, but from what I've seen it seems like they really do believe that the dear leader is some sort of benevolent god-king and all of their misery is the fault of SK and the US. They have radios in every house that broadcast propaganda on a daily basis. It's very big brotherish.

Yes, that's exactly what they need. Another set of fables and fairy tales with a cruel and distant father figure at their center.

Yes. It's exactly the same thing.....wtf.

One thing that makes it hard is that it'd be impossible to conduct an interview with a typical NK citizen where they feel comfortable the interview won't be visible to their great leader.

Yeah, they may or may not love him, but they definitely fear him.

Wait what?

Dude is a hardcore evangelical of some kind, if I recall right. It's odd to say the least, not what you think of when you think of Asians.

a cruel and distant father who tested their faith for 60 years by making them live under the Kims?

Damn, thats fucking insane. You can tell that dude is emotionally scarred just from the way he talks and interacts. With that said, he seems like a likable, intelligent young man, and its probably the reason why he got the help he did along the way. Whoever the man from Pyongyang was who sacrificed himself on the fence must have really liked the kid.

Great story. Hollywood could run with it tbh. Hopefully he finds a good life for himself in Seoul.

If you only watched that clip, you should watch the full doc, its really good.

our family isn't religious whatsoever and we go to church every Sunday. It is a communal commitment (especially since it is an ethnic organization in Canada). Others will be, undoubtly, more religious than others. They do (did) missionary works in Afghanistan, Syria, and China.

many Christian churches in Korea is part of a large conglomerate unlike the pockets of protestant churches in America. The network is huge,i think.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of this as it's the Daily Mail, but here it is:Training for 'all-out war' with the West: North Korea uses live artillery in drills near border as Kim Jong Un continues threats

I can totally see Kim Jong Un doing Gangnam Style.

The nuclear war moves to the Internet!

I'm surprised nobody has hacked into their servers yet and stole a bunch of sensitive information.

Jozu · Mar 14, 2013

Jong un supposedly had facial plastic surgery this year....lol. The guy is hilarious as a head of state. He is the youngest current leader in the world and is acting like it lately. What a fucked up country that is. They spend more than 20% of their GDP on their military.

BrutulTM · Mar 14, 2013

They know they are being cyber attacked because they are getting more pop-ups than usual on their dial-up AOL account.

Jozu · Mar 14, 2013

Pssshhh, Dial-up? Them motherfuckers dont even have ELECTRICITY.

That's a neat picture of NK's 17 light bulbs.

Jozu · Mar 15, 2013

Its actually a pretty stark example of how limited NK's infrastructure is. To the east, you have probably the most illuminated part of the planet, in Tokyo and its surrounding metro. To the west, you have Mongolia, probably one of the darkest areas of the world.

Then you have NK, which is probably darker than Mongolia is. Thats fucking inexcusable. What a fucked up government they have. Their whole ideology is based on "Juche", which pretty much means "self-sufficient". Its almost like they are purposely trolling.

In new news, North Korea has decided to take the David Ickes/Lumie approach to world politics.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...ng-159453.html

From an official declaration by North Korea, which today announced that it is ready to launch a nuclear weapon at a moment's notice (via Max Fisher):

[T]he puppet forces are challenging the DPRK's measures, jabbering that they are "escalating tension" and "south Korea would strongly react to the attempt to scrap the agreements."

The puppet authorities and despicable reptile media are taking issue with the DPRK's important measures everyday, talking about "agreement of both sides", "international recognition" and the like.

And you thought "lamestream" was bad.
