I'm a shaking in my boots.

North Korea beats most of Africa at least.

Thats lovely-Chunbong camp

Lovely aren't they?

The first is a Death Camp..for all intents. Biological and Chemical research on live humans has reportedly been conducted there..IOW spiffy they gassed people.

The second is "work camp" aka a Concentration Camp.

In both cases you take your worse nightmares of the Nazi and Soviet camps..and they happen there and in other places in North Korea every (*)(*)(*)(*) day.

They say the first camp contains 50,000 people and "loses" 20-25% of its population to death a year. That article is form 2003..so in 3 years roughly 30,000-37,500 have been killed in that one camp alone.

So awe us with your pretty pictures...

lightofreason...I enjoyed looking through all those pages of photo presented of North Korea. Very interesting.

I'm sure we would all agree...

1. There are no traffic jams.
2. There was no graffiti.
3. I didn't see any street gangs.
4. Or advertisements for Coca Cola or McDonald's on every street corner.
5. Where were all the obese people?
6. North Korea is a poor country.
7. The people are not devils.
8. It's not the USA.
9. The place looks clean.
10. Their government is very keen on monuments...very big monuments.

The monuments reminds me of the Jesuits and the cathedrals they built to impress the poor in their missionary days.

Just imagine if some foreign visitor took photo's of your major city. How would Washington DC look through the eyes of a critical camera. Or your local city?

I've been to London and Paris and have taken pictures of people sleeping in the streets. Of course I could legally take the picture and the people where free to sleep on the street.

Hmm. A Democrat just spoke favorably, and unfavorably of America, about the worse human rights record in the world Communist North Korea.

I really hate those borring cliches, but, Democrats, "Love it or leave it."





I have commited the cliche sin.

I'm not sure what to make of Robert T-G's post. It could be that he was using irony to comment on the fallacy of looking at a few photographs and trying to sum up a whole nation and regime from them. This would be a clever comment, if a little over the heads of some of his intended audience.

The other possibility I can think of is that Robert was serious. In that case, the man is, as Joseph Stalin put it when speaking of a certain type of Western leftist, a 'useful idiot'. America could easily achieve the same results as North Korea. All we would have to do is have detainment without trial (there goes every suspected gangsta, including quite a few wannabes from the suburbs), along with anyone criticising anything the government does.

Reduction of the food supply to the non-wealthy and connected to barely subsistence levels would make the vast majority of the population skinny and malnourished, and some of the real poor would die off, easing the strain on the health care system. Universal male conscription would reduce unemployment to zero and special forces could keep in training by regularily infiltrating over the Mexican border and blowing installations up. The immigration problem would be solved, as no Mexican would want to come to the U.S..

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan of action (by the way, this is an obvious and heavy-handed use of irony).
