why's the girl always laughing and why does she think people are very happy lol
a couple of screws loose?
@Elim Garak you know those tours are all a facade, correct? They give you the tour through the wealthiest parts of NK and deliberately keep tourists away from the famine and poverty.
There is literally no way to compare the US to NK in any way, imagine watching that video of NK defectors as if they were talking about escaping life in the US. We are so removed from the realities of true hardship in the US and most other developed countries that it is mind blowing that people find NK to be comparable to the US or even China or Russia.
The United States has several socialist elements to our social structure, we are not purely capitalist and capitalism is just as exploitative if not more so in different ways. The subprime mortgage crisis is a glaring recent example of the dangers of unchecked capitalism.
Other examples are child labor in the US which existed up until about a century ago, which still exists abroad (with US companies). http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/...hildlabor.html

During 1995, the first full year of Kim Jong-il’s reign as the leader of the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea, the country’s frogs disappeared. The explanation for this portent, it turned out, was that desperate villagers had hunted them to near-extinction.

This German reporter reported that all the song birds were gone too.

Its the only world they've known. How can you expect different.
This video in no way paints NK in a positive light. If anything this validates many of our suspicions of what is going on over there. I think the point of the video is show even though these people have left what we would consider hellish conditions they came through it OK and not pitiable people.
Would you be okay with living in a country -- or worse, world -- ruled by China, Russia, NK, Syria, Saudi Arabia or Iran, or by their ideals?
If your answer is no, you are just being a colossal hypocrite.
