manpe 10,861 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Where do you live? I thought my post that you quoted and my nationality tag would give it away... I live in Hamhung, North Korea. How is that possible? I'm genuinely interested in how you can access the internet and watch Chelsea games from there. I thought that wasn't possible for a regular citizen. Actually from what I've heard people don't even speak English in North Korea. I've been fascinated by this country for a long time, it would be extremely interesting to hear from someone living there.

Tourists come and go but a very small number of them. I dont know how you can but there is a fancy hotel in Pyongyang and everything. I learned english from the internet haha, watched tv shows, movies and music to learn and then I spoke to people from english speaking countries. Plenty of North Koreans have internet connections, thanks to South Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I rather want to be in connection to the world and have that caution than not being in connection to the world.And it might be very bad if they find me since I also have a PS3 with a connection and everything.

I know how it's like, my sister's boyfriend went there as a journalist. He said it was all a fake show for tourists. They always had people following and watching them and telling them what they can take pictures of. First thing they had to do was put flowers under the gigantic Kim Il-sung statue. If they didn't do that they couldn't go further. They had pictures taken of them while they were placing flowers so that they could say "westerners love kim il-sung". He did manage to take some illegal photos though. But generally looking at the pictures, it seems as if everything was nice and dandy over there.No, I'm interested in the real North Korea, not the masked and polished tourist one.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I keep hearing about the DPRK being aggressive. How? The US have provoked the DPRK into this for decades and they aren't some cartoon villains. China has abandoned them in exchange for their economic alliance with the neoliberal West and there was even going to be a tangent about how Putin and United Russia only won the election due to voter fraud and the CPRF actually got the most real votes and United Russia is just the means of fully converting and co-aligning the Russian state to the economic and imperial agenda of the neoliberal West and this renewed and intensive provocation just happened to come right after trillions of dollars worth of precious metals were discovered beneath the DPRK.

dumps 284 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This is all very confusing. I have only just recently taken interest in this because it seems to be making the headlines of credible news sourcesThere is a chance this could end horribly. I dont understand N. Korea, i dont know whether they are trying to flex their muscles or something to show their citezens how powerful of a nation they are, or they are seriously considering war.If they do decide to launch an attack (which is clearly not wise or the logical thing to do, but their leader seems a very dillusional person) it leaves whoever they attack (and their allies) in a horrible situation. the people that live in N.Korea seem to be treated horribly. sorry if thats offensive or wrong, i admit, my knowledge of this just comes from the odd random story on the internet etc, so to have to go to war against what are innocent people because of the decisions of one deluded leader would be horrible.OR N. Korea keep given it all that and shouting "U WOT M8!" across the pond and eventually someone gets fed up and decides to attempt to take out their leader to free the citizens, then other nations disagree with the actions (which is probably unlikely, im not sure N. Korea even have any allies...).but for the US to be moving defensive missile systems in place, it suggests they are not taking any chances.on another note, what would happen if they did go to war? clearly USA or whoever would just take out their leader (i dont remember his name, this is why i keep referring to him as "their leader"!) then what? would they just hand it over to the south koreans (and PSY). i wouldnt see anything wrong with that, but i imagine its not that simple.

Kojo 4,676 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Who cares what happens, as long as Backstreet is on our side we will win, not to mention we might have Rupert. Although that only depends on if Torres and Benitez are on our side to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is there any challenge from NK vs USA ? I´d say, one sided victory for the world police force from America. Another Star Wars show, soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
