BREAKING NEWS: North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il Has Died

How many starving North Koreans will Kim Jung-Un feed? Depends on how thinly they slice him...

Turkey, I can't say I know enough on Korean history comment, but this:

...sounds like something that would never even cross the minds of people in NK today. They didn't love the Japanese the way they came to love [-]Big Brother[/-] Kimmy boy.

I like what some guy said on Twitter:

"I'd like to think God let Havel and Hitchens pick the third."

Quick someone get Rick Deckard!!

We've got some pointing to do!

If you ever make it to Seoul, check out the Korean War Museum. You'd think it is a museum about the Korean War, but it is a museum about war in Korea. While it does have an exhibit or two on the Korean War, a fitting subtitle to the museum would be "Korean War Museum or: Why We Really, Really Hate the Japanese."

Anyway, if the failure of n Korea and Communism isn't a condemnation of that political ideology, then that makes the success of S Korea an even bigger tribute to Western democracy and capitalism.

And yeah, Muad totally called it when he compares the brainwashed masses that worship Lil' Kim as he has systematically run the country into the ground with the brainwashed masses that worship The Beast as he systematically runs the country into the ground.

Are you sure your biggest issue isn't who was sitting in the Oval Office then as opposed to now?

It is as I have foreseen it.

Personally, I hope there was a special place in Hell for Saddam, but it wasn't our place to send him there and I'm afraid that our greatest accomplishment in Iraq was to remove the minority Sunnis from power and install the Shiites, thereby creating a new partnership between Iraq and Iran.

If this doesn't make the case to end the US World Police, I don't know what does.

Yes, it sucked in The Soviet Union, and all of Korea sucked under Japan.....but compared to the total hell-hole of what is currently NK they still weren't as bad.

BTW Volpone I lived about 1/2 mile from the War Museum in 1995 or so, shortly after it was built! :santa_ok:

North Korea's unique in being the only Communist Monarchy.

Stalin's estimated to have starved something like 30 million+ people. How many have died under Lil' Kim?

Walking across the line into NK (at the Peace Talks Table) really gave me the heebee geebees. It's freaky thinking that if God forbid the shit hit the fan right at that moment you would be toast or taken prisoner forever in NK. :santa_sad:

It's amazing when you look around and realize "holy shit, these are actual NK soldiers staring at me thru the glass."

And no, you cannot make rude or threatening gestures.
This said, it would be funny to unwrap a big fat Double Whopper right in front of them, take one bite, then throw it in the trash. I'd be willing to get they would either crash thru the glass like an enraged gorilla or blow their brains out in frustration:santa_cheesy:

Maybe go fuck yourself.
Link to my spouting "the virtues of communism"? Link to my expressing anything other than scorn for how NK is run?

I can't link to 23000+ posts.......

NK's record is not as bad as the USSR's only because they didn't start out with as many people to starve as did Stalin.

I don't think I have ever seen Rick promoting communism. The only way you could call him communist is if you say not being a supporter of free market capitalism is communist. That however would weaken the NK example, as that definition would makes lots of successful countries communist.

So, Rick, did you buy tickets for this?

Woodstock For Tyrants in lovely Cuba!!

"Maybe they'll even allow a rock show or three."

Because "rocks" are all they've got in this workers' paradise.

The NK government makes noises about being communist, and they have some of the forms, but it's actually a totalitarian dictatorship. More like fascism than communism.

Which, strangely, seems to be where "communist" revolutions always end up when they "succeed."

People at school used to tell me to "go move to the Soviet Union" when I was young.

It seems it never gets old.

The Soviet Union?

It stopped getting old.

Not really. It's just aging differently now.

Scootin' with Putin!

I approve this message.
