North Korea

[Keith]

The whole Vice series is actually really interesting. They had one about Liberia that was pretty insightful and depressing.

I was stationed in S Korea in 1993.
The North had a large military (mainly because the civilians live in poverty) which outnumbered the South and American presence.
We were basically there as a 'speed bump' until reinforcements could be brought in.
It was a little odd being there considering a peace treaty has never been signed between NK and SK (only a cease-fire)
There would be riots over the price of rice in the South, so I can't even imagine what goes on in the North.

well this was a fun read lol


The Official Webpage of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)


its almost scary. keep in mind this is a website designed by the govt of th dprk. how would they ever be able to fight a modern war when this the best they can do with a website? i know 15 yr olds that do better work then that...

I see they have a forum attached to their website. Hmmm, I wonder if they need moderator assistance there as well?

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION

ya i saw that. not open to the public for posting lol

Hay Jason, I bet Keith or Austin could tap into that site in less than 5 minutes. We could be added to their moderator list, and slowly change the attitudes of that corrupt society?

lol i am so in. +1 for the fantastic idea.

Hay Keith, we have a favor we need to ask you................

They have it streaming on netflix. The North Korea one is by far the most bizarre, and the one on Pakistan is really sad--the children sing songs and watch propaganda that encourages them to become martyrs and blow themselves up!

ive watched the one on netflix and the vice one. they are completely different. the vice one shows alot more imho.



im going to do some thread merging
