North Korea: History Will Judge Us Harshly

[Idaho]

I think we're done with exporting democracy and human rights to unwilling buyers.

I'd love to see some examples of this exported democracy. Is this the kind where you carpet bomb places first, carve up the assets among multinationals and try to install your own people? Or is there another kind that I haven't been made aware of?

lolmoment if true, it seems that the Great Leader was awarded with the title 'most sexy man on earth', unsurprisingly in North-Korea. Sounds like hoax but it's too good to be true admit it you want it to be true

No Fragony, that was an Onion joke and the chinese press thought it was serious, Lemur already posted it.

The Führer is always the sexiest man on earth because power makes incredibly attractive and attractive people are more successful.

That's a pity, it would have been so much fun.

There are plenty of examples... Haiti, Panama, Grenada.

Keep going...

One could argue that these examples were about spreading hegemony rather than democracy.

Chile!

Oh wait...Ok a democracy was transformed to an authoritarian regime which eventually became a democracy again. Lots of Multinational goodness in that example.

I wonder if the North Koreans are really as brainwashed and happy as we suppose. We have almost no access North Korea, so we can't make an accurate assessment of how the people really think and feel. I have a feeling the happy North Korean peasants we do see could be putting on act.

Absolutely.

Truth always gets out, just look at the underground Soviet humor and jokes of that era, brilliant!

An American and a Soviet soldier kill each other and end up at the pearly gates
at the same time. Peter says" well, we have national division in hell as well,
but you may choose where you'd like to go. There is an American hell and a
Russian hell."
American: what's the difference?
Peter: well, in the American hell you have to eat a shovel of shit a day.
Russian: and in Russian hell?
Peter: two shovels of shit.
American: I'll go to American hell.
Russian: well, two shovels of shit, it's not nice, but I was a Russian alive
and I died a Russian and I'll go to Russian hell.
Millenniums later, the same two soldiers end up doing sentry duty at the
checkpoint at the border between American and Russian hell at the same time.
Russian: Hi hi hi! How you doing! Long time no see!
American: Hey! How are you, you look good!
Russian: how is it over there in American hell?
American: oh, one shovel of shit a day, you get used to it. How about Russian
hell?
Russian: well, you know how it is, one day there's no shit, the next day no
shovels. . .

Why would they have pearly gates at Hell's entrance?
