CaNzCo Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Everyone dies eventually, and in the end... what does it really change?His death may or may not be a good thing for North Korea and the world, but we really don't know what will happen. He may have been an insane man, but if you think because he is dead we will have world peace, you need your head examined too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max465 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I tried to feel bad, and then I laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 What amuses me about the whole thing is that he was dead for two whole days before anyone bothered to tell other people about it. Yay Korea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabetus boy Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 What amuses me about the whole thing is that he was dead for two whole days before anyone bothered to tell other people about it. Yay Korea!Yes, but then afterword they had a memorial of screaming Korean People. What they didn't show was that behind these people there were several soldiers forcing them to put on a show(hooray communism) so they could air it on public broadcasting.

†Emotional Outlet Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Since I am not a Korean linguist (for better and for worse), I unfortunately do not keep a finger on Korea's pulse. However, the whole situation rather strikes me as kind of... scary, perhaps? I don't know where they'll go after this or what they'll do in the wake of his death. The videos of the people crying at the memorials further instills a sense of wrongness, although to someone more in tune with North Korea, it probably just strikes them as funny.

FuzzyDunlop Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I dont understand North Korea and the Kim dynasty. Whats the point? What are they trying to accomplish? If its wealth, there are easier ways to be rich than keeping a country under absolute control. Is it power? An ego? I have no idea.Its a fascinating country though. I love learning about it. Just so....bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
