North Korea/DPRK is NOT a terrible place by DragonQuestWes North Korea/DPRK is NOT a terrible place by DragonQuestWes
More unpopular opinions from me, Yippee!

What you think you know about North Korea is probably not true. Kim Il-Sung/Jong-Il/Jong-Un aren't "gods" and they certainly aren't dictators either.

They do have elections in North Korea but they don't have "Presidential Elections" because of constituencies (there's no "President of North Korea" and "Eternal President Kim-Il Sung" doesn't mean much). Just look at the results of the latest election they've had. Former British Ambassador to North Korea, Peter Hughes came under fire all because he simply described his observation of the elections as just a celebrating festive attitude rather than demonizing it the entire time.

A Swiss businessman explains his experiences about what he saw in North Korea/DPRK which is hardly anything like the mainstream media said it was. And no he didn't just visit Pyongyang.

A Taiwanese news group went on a trip to North Korea to see what it's like over there and one girl from 5:15 to 5:40 of the video explains how different the reporting actually is when she was in the UK.

Dr. Margaret Chan of the United Nations' World Health Organization visited the country and said that the healthcare is something that "developing countries would envy."

There were programs established by both the local Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to rebuild the villages as well as providing food, water, medicine etc.

A friend of a friend of mine visited North Korea/DPRK plenty of times to show what it was actually like over there and not what the media says they are.

South Korean Conservative news site Korea JoongAng Daily even admits that defectors are returning to the DPRK. No executions.

Not everything is as it seems because the world doesn't work like Hollywood.

Research and form your own opinions.

Meh. I mean, it looks to be a nice place to actually live. I just actually realized what I said was somewhat in a bad form. I'm just saying I have a problem with North Korea's government and how they run things.

Oh yeah, sure. Brainwashing children and executing people for watching an american movie and trying to leave are GREAT choices. Both Gov't's. are bad, however, at least the U.S. doesn't execute people for stupid reasons.

No dude. They don't arrest anyone for watching an American movie. That's BS and I don't believe that for a second.

North Korea under Kim Il Sung = Better than South Korea
North Korea Under Kim Jong Il = baaad coz Kim Jong Il was a serious nutcase
North Korea under Kim Jong Un = much better after economic reforms and liberalization of society but it will fully erase the communist economic system by 2020 likely and thus removing the only thing you like about it

Pyongyang is becoming like a tourist paradise with Casinos, water parks, golf courses and American style fast food.

What? You can't be serious right? North Korea isn't a good place to live in. Have you heard of the camps? Their kidnapping of civilians? Their unholy love to go to war?

I'm sorry, but you're delusional if your think NORTH KOREA is a good place.

North Korea is becoming a much better place after Kim Jong Un took over since he has made drastic economic and social reforms.

US allies that are worse than North Korea - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, post 9/11 Afghan government, Germany, Israel, Rwanda, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, Rwanda, Eithopia, Bahrain.

israel.usembassy.gov/consular/acs/marriage.html
With very few exceptions, Israeli civil law does not permit marriages between Jews and non-Jews within the state of Israel. The Israeli government will recognize ...

Israel is the only country on earth left that enforces anti race mixing with both laws and NGOs that works closely with intelligence service to break up race mixers.A Gentile(non jew) having sex with a jew in the stae of Israel is statutory rape and carries a penalty of 4 years prison even if both parties consented.

Germany? Why Germany?

Well, atleast they don't run death camps, imprison entire families because of one person, or allow CANNIBALISM!

Oh, lets not forget the kidnapping of South Korean and Japanese Citizens, forcing 14 year olds into sex slavery for the elite, Nazi inspired racism, or has a average GDP Per Capita of $1,800 USD.

Compared to North Korea the countries you listed would sound amazing.

I thought we're talking about government oppression  and so on coz those countries listed do abuse human rights and abuse their citizens.

Saudi Arabia - very rich country but is a theocracy that hangs homosexuals, crucify political dissents, stone women to death, allows male parents to marry off their daughters without any age of consent and only the consent of the male guardian is needed, carries out public beheadings, etc.

Germany - government cracks down on speech that is anti government or against government policy by erasing posts made on social media and putting posters in prison

Turkey - government gives weapons to ISIS and this was actually discovered by their own reporters whom the Turkish president put in prison for treason for revealing it.

They also nationalized all media recently, crack down on women's rights, use violence and illegal detention on political dissents, committed genocide on minorities in Turkey and Syria, Annexed parts of Iraq and Syria, blackmail EU to pay them 6 billion euros annually and to let Turks work and live in EU without visa.

Israel- the only country left on the planet with actual Nazi inspired racism coz North Korea isn't racist at all and North Korea actually welcome white American refugees fleeing tyrannical government.

Btw  Cannibalism is actually legal in Japan and I personally don't see why it should be illegal as long as they do not illegally kill a person or cut flesh off a living person without consent.

the rest on the list is even worse and you can do detailed google search on how bad they are.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to comment further.

Not because I give up(which I really want to do because y'all logic is horrid), but because the 'artist' is a pedophile and I would like nothing to do with it anymore.

If you would like to continue this conversation, I recommend we take it to your homepage or mine. Nonetheless,

Good Day

That's not exactly a pedophilia or illegal tho coz he only asked for the feet pictures from what I understand, and having just the feet picture and masturbating to a just a feet picture isn't illegal in any country's laws that I know of.

Which is irrelevant anyway and you don't seem to be interested about discussing the issue but rather just pushing an imperialistic foreign policy since I already pointed countries that violates human rights so much worse than North Korea.

First of all you're a fucking idiot for calling me a pedophile because I'm not. A comment on Skype left UP for interpretation does not count as pedophilia and it never will. You have no right to complain about pedophilia if you're a weirdo identifying as "demisexual."

In fact, you're a worse freak than I'll ever be.

Nonetheless, I will be no longer commenting on this homepage. I ask that you do not come to my page and start spamming. If you do, I will block you. Any further action, I will go to the DA Admins and file a harassment claim.

I hope you receive some sort of punishment for your actions.

Well, that is your opinion.

However, that doesn't provide enough evidence to blatantly say "I no want to talk to you". Now, if had previous confrontations then I would understand. But this is the very first time we every talked.

To me, that shows you're incapable of ever having a conversation with those who have a completely different opinion with you.

How about you do NOT call it out at all because:

1. You're not entitled to a call-out.
2. Calling out something just because it doesn't cater to your world view makes you look like a tard.
3. You're trying to convince random strangers who you've never spoken to that they're "wrong" when in reality, you haven't experienced what most people haven't.

Sorry but reality's a bitch.

1 Free speech, I can say whatever I want as long as I follow the rules of the website (something they don't have in North Korea)
2 my view doesn't matter the issue is that you didn't adress pubka's actual comment, you never showed us why you are not ignorant on the subject
3 eh I don't really care

reality isn't that cruel it's just realistic.

lol you're a retard. Free speech only gives the right not to be arrested by the government and yes the DPRK/North Korea has it too. It doesn't give you the right not to be invalidated for your anti-DPRK/North Korea BS.

2 my view doesn't matter the issue is that you didn't adress pubka's actual comment, you never showed us why you are not ignorant on the subject

Because you're not entitled to a debate.

3 eh I don't really care

Sorry but you are REQUIRED to care. Shocking, I know. This is real life and the real world doesn't work like your high school government class. You don't have the right to "not care" and expect to get asspats in return. It just doesn't work.

reality isn't that cruel it's just realistic.

Honey, you've got a big storm coming.
