I love Lewis Black, and I'm sure he knows, but most North Koreans are among the poorest and most oppressed people in the world, who are imprisoned, and often killed in labor camps just for speaking out. Most of them aren't evil, it is their totalitarian government that is.

I was just watching Louis CK and laughing my ass off and I was thinking to myself "I'm glad I'm not so fucking boring that I think people like Lewis Black are funny". Seriously, this guy is so FUCKING boring and unfunny....
@tpstrat14 You know you don't have to look at this, right? Stay on Louis CK's videos, he's good too. It'd be better for everyone for you to post good things about Louis CK than bad things about Lewis Black.
@TheLn2011 : And we've gotten it back: poverty, broken homes, political discord among ourselves, racial strife, despising our Creator and His good wishes for us, blasphemy on a national scale("We're the Greatest!!"), etc. North Korea doesn't yell and posture; If our government keeps harassing them, they'll just press the button, and some of us will be with Jesus Christ and the rest of us will be in the other place.

The more i read his, the more troubled my thoughts are. Lack of information or getting caught up in his own ideas seemingly blocks him to see over the reality. His comedy generally falls back under unsupported generalization. Some may find this fun. But what he is promoting in his comedies fails to carry an ethnically universal code of comedy that excludes no one. If you laugh at this comedy, in other words, you are already a minority that finds only exclusive sources of having fun.
North Korea is quite capable of vaporizing us, and our government knows it. They're also wealthy, and our government can't stand that. In 1990, the Iraqi dinar was worth 3 American dollars--I guess we fixed THAT, eh? That was our SOLE purpose for going there--to "cut them down to size."
If the United States should ever wage a war against North Korea I will start burning flags. Their population is being oppressed and fucking starving over there ... that’d be such an asshole move of the USA.
@MoaiMaea Question are you aware that a insane homocidal dictator who thinks he is a god and his group equally insane followers are running that country? Their intent is to make nuclear weapons and then to launching at everything around them. You cannot negotiate or protest against evil. It has to be destroyed. Don't get me wrong I fell sorry for the North Koreans but if there is every to any progress for North Korea Kim Jong Ill and his group must be eliminated.
Oh for fuck’s sake, here we go again with the black-and-white pictures. “you cannot negotiate or protest against evil”? Are you serious? Apart from your ridiculous “analysis” of Kim Jon-il’s personality (did you hear that on Fox News?), there still is the fact that any war waged against North Korea would cause massive damage to their population. And mainly the population as the other wars of the United States show. What, like 60% of all killed people in US wars are civilians? More?
@MoaiMaea you cant argue with evil. because simply, they do not care. if we invaded, and they have nukes, i dont think they would mind nuking the fuck out of themselves. just to kill our people. they do not care about their own lives. they dont care about ours. also, do me a favor.... show me where you found that 60% of casualties in our wars are civilians?
- please note that civilians with a fucking AK47 in their hands, are no longer civilians regardless of age.
I summed up the casualties of incidents where regular US troops were involved and roughly calculated the intersection. Sometimes it was far more than 60% (e.g. Iraq war), sometimes it was less (e.g. Invasion of Grenada). But the average was somewhere around aforementioned 60%. When there was more than one source I calculated the respective intersection first and then added that to the rest. But hey, why don’t do you crunch the numbers yourself?
Besides, are you really surprised about this? Seriously, come on. Blanket-bombing isn’t really known for its accuracy. And we all know the military doesn’t give a flying fuck about civilian casualties. When it’s either “risk the lives of a bunch of very expensive soldiers” or “shoot first, ask later” they usually tend to go with the latter.
By the way, what do you base your assumptions on? Their leaders would not risk losing their allies (China for example) by using nuclear weaponry.
@MoaiMaea : china doesn't need atom bombs--they use Wal-Marts. Take the money, turn the people into gnomes, trolls and mutants. Hey, I'm just going by what I see.
@MoaiMaea I wouldn't worry about it. US only role with North Korea is to act as a shield for the US allies, South Korea, against the North's allies in China. The only way the US would wage war against the North Koreans directly, I suspect, would be if they were justified in doing so (like if North Korea fired on American vessels at sea, much as the German U-Boats did to bring the US into World War 1). Especially now. As far as 60% civilian casualties, that is largely impossible to know for sure.
Largely impossible to know for sure? Just look at any other major war the US army conducted like I did. Sixty percent, that is the average I calculated. Still, the “burning flags” part was stupid.
And yet, my argument wouldn’t change. Just because North Korea attacks some American military targets why should the oppressed people who have absolutely no say in the matter suffer the consequences?
@MoaiMaea : We've been bombarded with the "oppressed people" shill line so much that we're numb to it. It's just something politicians use to garner sympathy for an unknown quantity.
@MoaiMaea And as I said, if I am to accept 60% I am going to need you to cite or link your sources. Where did you come up with the numbers you averaged? Also, you ask why North Korean civillians should suffer for their countries action since they are powerless to control them. What if North Korea attacked South Korea, US forces, or Japan? In that case, why should South Korean citizens or Japanese citizens suffer so the North Korean civilians don't have to? Are their lives more valuable to you?
I already addressed this some time ago but I sent you a PM with the documentation anyway. Regarding your last question:
No, their lives are equally valuable to me. This is why I for one will not acknowledge consequencialistic arguments that, on top of being inane, try to justify crimes against humanity by declaring these acts necessary and sanctifying them for the alleged good cause which they supposedly serve (completely ignoring geopolitical and financial interests). Feel free to disagree.
@MoaiMaea I appreciate you providing your sources and I will admit that I have looked into it myself and the civilian casualty ratio for the US is unacceptably high in war. That said, I think 60% is still a bit high as many of those deaths are indirectly caused and your original statement made it seem like 6 out of every 10 people the average US soldier shoots is a civilian, which is a gross characterization, not taking into account insurgent activity and famines inadvertently caused.
There is a big misunderstanding here. I never meant to imply that the 60% civilian casualties in wars are necessarily caused by US military directly killing them (though there are also quite a lot of those). Their enemies and the circumstances of war (damaged infrastructure, destroyed harvest, ...) obviously play their part in this as well. But in my eyes the US government is still responsible for it since they usually started the war causing the civilian deaths in the first place.
@MoaiMaea As for your other statement, I don't relish the thought of war. I see it as a necessary evolutionary aspect of human beings but I definitely don't hold any hatred for North Korean people (only its leaders). To be honest, Kim Jong's kid and his lack of experience and purported nationalism scares me and if Kim dies I do worry what will happen in that region. If it comes down to South Korea/Japan vs North Korea I will support the Japanese and the South Koreans. Hope it doesn't, though.
“I see it as a necessary evolutionary aspect of human beings”
Sorry but what the fuck? How could you say something like that? Is there even anything MORE counterproductive to human evolution than war? Please, you seriously have to elucidate this.
Still, I am glad to see that you are at least able of distinguishing between government and governed.
@buzzclick500 Not really. Many of the greatest Philosophers throughout history have done the same, many predicting the deaths of their own nations simply by reading the signs. While North Korea is capable of vaporizing us they won't because it would mean the end of them. Complete erasure in the fires of the American arsenal. No matter how poor the US gets, if the last depression taught us anything it is that there is always room in the budget for war.
@Cajaquarius : You say you're 29--you won't even know what philosophy IS for at least ten more years. You won't be old enough to run for president for at least 5 more years, but you feel qualified to tell everyone "how it is." Since we're on the subject, how did your great-grandparents deal with the Depression, vote for Franklin D. Rosefield(Roosevelt)?
@buzzclick500 I am not telling everyone how it is, I am sharing my opinion. I don't know how it is because the facts in political matters are impossible to know for sure. It is all subjective and obfuscated and even if it was all in the open it would take a dozen life times to fully grasp it all. As for my great grandparents, one half was native American and the other lived in Europe until having to flee the Third Reich before it rose to power so they had a vastly different view of things.
Unfortunately, North Korea is not capable of vaporizing the US. North Korea's delivery system for their nuclear weapons is paltry at best, their air force lacks the striking capability and the range to reach American airspace, and their excuse of a navy could not travel far enough out to sea to enter range for either their missiles or their planes before they aroused suspicion and detection from the US, Japan, South Korea, the Phillipinnes or Australia.
@Cajaquarius Furthermore, North Korea only has enough enriched uranium to support a nuclear arsenal of less than 20 bombs, and that is a generous estimate. That makes their arsenal the smallest of all the nuclear capable countries in the world.
@koondawg12 : BUT, those 20 bombs(if their "cheap" merchandise is any indication)are made very well, and are built to fulfill a specific and focused purpose--the defense of their nation, whereas OUR advertised technology is designed to be SALABLE to any idiot("The Departed") who has the money to buy it.
@buzzclick500 North Korea manufactures very little. It is South Korea which has garnered a well deserved reputation for making low-cost yet relatively high-quality goods. Secondly, their bombs are NOT well-made, as evidenced by the rather abysmal test they conducted when they "became" a nuclear power (much too the chagrin of literally EVRYONE within their corner of the globe). Their bombs are poorly constructed and cannot reach us. Ergo, North Korea is a minimal threat.
@koondawg12 : If North Korea is such a minimal threat, why does our government harass and provoke them continually? Has it escaped your attention that our government harasses wealthy nations and befriends impoverished nations? Easy enough to research. Unless you don't feel like researching it, which is o.k., too. Time and nature will deal with it regardless.
@buzzclick500 Perhaps one reason we harass and provoke North Korea on the scale that you are implying (which when compared to other instances of us involving ourselves in a country's affairs, i.e. Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Israel-Palestine, really is quite minimal) is because North Korea is a thorn in the side of our allies in the region, and NOT because they are a threat to us directly. South Korea, Japan, the Phillipines and Australia all expect the US to make a show of force against North
@buzzclick500 Korea, not because North Korea threatens us, but because they threaten them. It has always been US policy (and the policy of the UN) to minimize the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and seeing how a nuclear North Korea, if nothing else, provides an incentive for South Korea and Japan (who had enough enriched uranium to maintina a stockpile of over a 1,000 warheads if they so chose) to research their own nuclear programs, creating a threat to a REGION where we have interests.
@koondawg12 : You really believe our government is your friend, and always tells us the truth about everything, don't you? The only region Americans need to concern ourselves with is AMERICA. Not a popular concept these days, but a sensible and practical one, nonetheless. In the more localized sense, it's called "minding our own business and being thankful for what we have HERE." ;])
@koondawg12 : "It has always been U.S. policy...."and to hell with the U.N.) No, actually, American history didn't begin in 1933, it began much earlier, when George Washington advised us to "avoid foreign entanglements." Wise words from a wise man.
@buzzclick500 1. No, I do not believe everything the government tells me. I do however, acknowledge the following facts. Japan, South Korea and China are among the largest and most prolific of our trading partners, and our economies are so intertwined it is not even funny. Ergo, we have interests in the stability of this region since it has a direct effect on our economy, and therefore, our country itself. If you do not believe me, look up the import/export numbers for the US and Japan or China.
@koondawg12 : In 1949, America's trade balance was 15 billion dollars in exports, 5 billion dollars in imports; I suspect that's changed dramatically, largely due to the improper associations we've permitted our government to engage in...whoring ourselves out for nickels and dimes might describe the situation accurately.
@buzzclick500 2. It is a proven historical fact that isolationism is inefficient and ultimately doomed to fail concept, especially in todays world where economies and interests are converging, not diverging. To imply that it is in the United States' best interests to stay home is an outdated opinion that belongs to the early 1900s. 3. The United States began involving itself in the affairs of other nations when the Monroe Doctrine was put into effect, creating a pseudo-hegemony in the Americas.
@buzzclick500 and that is assuming we do not count how our great and illustrious founders (George Washington included) meddled in the engagements, entanglements and affairs of several Native American nations. We have trampled upon other people's sovereign rights since we were founded. I am glad of much that America has accomplished, but this "holier than thou art" founders crap needs to stop and be repplaced by looking at them as humans, living in a different time period with different needs.
@koondawg12 : Yes, and President Kennedy's body hadn't yet cooled when the people who were glad of his murder began discrediting him as a man and as a competent public servant, saying things they wouldn't have dared to say and print while he was alive. That's the liberal theme: refraining from slander as long as there's any possibility of being brought to account for doing it. Attacking people ONLY when they think it's safe to do so. And making "gods" out of cynical liars.
@buzzclick500 Well, I had thought there was some degree of hope to continue engaging in fruitful discussion, but that apparently is a lost cause. I have no idea where JFK factors into anything that I have said (btw, he was a liberal, so your insinuation that it is a liberal MO to attack people when there is no possibility for being held accountable, which again does not factor into any of my points, could perhaps use a better example.) And I think the mantra "those who ignore history are doomed
@buzzclick500 to repeat it" holds quite a bit more water than what you are implying. Also, I never made any claim that the United States exported MORE than it imported. I simply stated (facutally) who some of our largest traading partners are. Yet you fail to address these points and instead make up new points to argue that have nothing to do with anything pertinent to this discussion. I pointed out FACTS regarding North Korea. You have failed to address them. Same for our trading partners.
@buzzclick500 Finally, seeing how I made the reference to US policy being in regards to nuclear proliferation, that would give you a time frame beginning in the mid-1900's to work with, definately not the era of our founders, who I'm fairly certain did not have nuclear weapons. If you wish to quote me, I'd advise you to keep it in context. People will be more inclined to take you seriously.
I think the way he describes N. Koreans is evil. They are starving and poor people; they are not evil. He carried the joke too far. Please don't make a joke about N. Koreans.
@jinyangkim really when people make jokes about north korea, they talk about the government. anyone who claims to "hate north korea" doesn't hate North Koreans, but the government which is opressing them.
Richard Marcinko has a great take on North Korea also... sorry, I forget which of the Rogue Warrior books it is in. He basically explains the lack of their sense of humor to their consumption of Kimchi.
Wow, way to reply with a well reasoned argument. Granted, it was a very short and simple clip without a whole lot of 'joke' behind it, but you certainly did nothing to advance or explain your point of view.
shit i will be the one with kim jong il's head on a plater and i will have his body tied up behind my car and drag his ass through all of north korea and watch those basterds cry.
dont mind them archetype1. they will either fade from existence in some basement or commit suicide a lonely lonely person. and for some of you nutjobs, why be a fan of a country if the only thing u know about the country is in the for of a manga? LEARN ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES FROM OTHER SOURCES!!!
Hey Infares...fuck off. Its assbags like you that just wont let things die. Good God..is there nobody on youtube that has one whit of civility? Jesus Christ! Even when somone tries to appologise somebody has to make a smartass comment. OK ill join in.
Folks I appologise for the long running flame war. I have tried to converse with somone who has no interest in a civil debate. I realise that this is an inappropriate forum for this and as such I will end with this. Nilbud, you are entitled to your opinion. I would suggest, though, before you paint an entire society with the same brush perhaps you should meet some of the people before you judge them by what you have been told in the media. Again to all..my appologies.
Just a quick note nilbud. The U.S. contributed 9.5 Billion in lend lease to the U.S.S.R. of which only 722 million was paid back by July 2001. 13.8 Billion lend lease aid was sent to Great Brittian. Thats before the U.S. even entered the war. After the war it was the U.S. that helped to rebuild Japan..flew supplies into W Berlin past the communists and more. So lets face it..despite the blunders the U.S. has commited in the past. We do our best to help when we can too. Of course you wont agree.
i love how you people manage to get into a heated debate over the U.S's role in the world over a friggen 50 second lewis black video. youtube amazes me sometimes.
A nation's "power" varies directly with the independence and freedom of its people.
The citizens of the USA are neither independent, nor free, despite the nation saying that's what it's the nation of. What does this tell you?
When was the last time you spoke to an American who created his own power, say, from biomass via gasification? Never, I'd guess. That's because people of the USA are not independent anymore.
It's that sort of attitude, aqua, that is getting this once-great nation such a bad rep.
Don't like Islam? It's okay, we'll just go destroy it, "'cuz we're America".
Not enough oil to fill your fat face? It's cool, we'll just go steal it, "cuz this is US of fuckin' A".
Don't like something someone says? It's cool, we'll just piss all over the constitution and hang the guy for "sayin' sumthin' we yokels don't like cuz, heeyuk, we're effin' rednecks".
Wow....and you got all of that from a 53 second long clip from Lewis Black.
Yeah okay GROW UP! Quit trolling and wasting your time. It is cool you are voicing your opinion...but Youtube is HARDLY the place to do it to make changes in the world!

As for my great grandparents, one half was native American and the other lived in Europe until having to flee the Third Reich before it rose to power so they had a vastly different view of things.

Unfortunately, North Korea is not capable of vaporizing the US. North Korea's delivery system for their nuclear weapons is paltry at best, their air force lacks the striking capability and the range to reach American airspace, and their excuse of a navy could not travel far enough out to sea to enter range for either their missiles or their planes before they aroused suspicion and detection from the US, Japan, South Korea, the Phillipinnes or Australia.

@Cajaquarius Furthermore, North Korea only has enough enriched uranium to support a nuclear arsenal of less than 20 bombs, and that is a generous estimate. That makes their arsenal the smallest of all the nuclear capable countries in the world.
koondawg12 10 months ago
@koondawg12 : BUT, those 20 bombs(if their "cheap" merchandise is any indication)are made very well, and are built to fulfill a specific and focused purpose--the defense of their nation, whereas OUR advertised technology is designed to be SALABLE to any idiot("The Departed") who has the money to buy it.
buzzclick500 10 months ago
@buzzclick500 North Korea manufactures very little. It is South Korea which has garnered a well deserved reputation for making low-cost yet relatively high-quality goods. Secondly, their bombs are NOT well-made, as evidenced by the rather abysmal test they conducted when they "became" a nuclear power (much too the chagrin of literally EVRYONE within their corner of the globe). Their bombs are poorly constructed and cannot reach us. Ergo, North Korea is a minimal threat.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : If North Korea is such a minimal threat, why does our government harass and provoke them continually? Has it escaped your attention that our government harasses wealthy nations and befriends impoverished nations? Easy enough to research. Unless you don't feel like researching it, which is o.k., too. Time and nature will deal with it regardless.
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 Perhaps one reason we harass and provoke North Korea on the scale that you are implying (which when compared to other instances of us involving ourselves in a country's affairs, i.e. Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Israel-Palestine, really is quite minimal) is because North Korea is a thorn in the side of our allies in the region, and NOT because they are a threat to us directly. South Korea, Japan, the Phillipines and Australia all expect the US to make a show of force against North
koondawg12 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 Korea, not because North Korea threatens us, but because they threaten them. It has always been US policy (and the policy of the UN) to minimize the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and seeing how a nuclear North Korea, if nothing else, provides an incentive for South Korea and Japan (who had enough enriched uranium to maintina a stockpile of over a 1,000 warheads if they so chose) to research their own nuclear programs, creating a threat to a REGION where we have interests.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : You really believe our government is your friend, and always tells us the truth about everything, don't you? The only region Americans need to concern ourselves with is AMERICA. Not a popular concept these days, but a sensible and practical one, nonetheless. In the more localized sense, it's called "minding our own business and being thankful for what we have HERE." ;])
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : "It has always been U.S. policy...."and to hell with the U.N.) No, actually, American history didn't begin in 1933, it began much earlier, when George Washington advised us to "avoid foreign entanglements." Wise words from a wise man.
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 1. No, I do not believe everything the government tells me. I do however, acknowledge the following facts. Japan, South Korea and China are among the largest and most prolific of our trading partners, and our economies are so intertwined it is not even funny. Ergo, we have interests in the stability of this region since it has a direct effect on our economy, and therefore, our country itself. If you do not believe me, look up the import/export numbers for the US and Japan or China.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : In 1949, America's trade balance was 15 billion dollars in exports, 5 billion dollars in imports; I suspect that's changed dramatically, largely due to the improper associations we've permitted our government to engage in...whoring ourselves out for nickels and dimes might describe the situation accurately.
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 2. It is a proven historical fact that isolationism is inefficient and ultimately doomed to fail concept, especially in todays world where economies and interests are converging, not diverging. To imply that it is in the United States' best interests to stay home is an outdated opinion that belongs to the early 1900s. 3. The United States began involving itself in the affairs of other nations when the Monroe Doctrine was put into effect, creating a pseudo-hegemony in the Americas.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : Nothing is proven; history, as Henry Ford said(and I subscribe to his opinion as an accomplished man),"Is mostly bunk."
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 and that is assuming we do not count how our great and illustrious founders (George Washington included) meddled in the engagements, entanglements and affairs of several Native American nations. We have trampled upon other people's sovereign rights since we were founded. I am glad of much that America has accomplished, but this "holier than thou art" founders crap needs to stop and be repplaced by looking at them as humans, living in a different time period with different needs.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@koondawg12 : Yes, and President Kennedy's body hadn't yet cooled when the people who were glad of his murder began discrediting him as a man and as a competent public servant, saying things they wouldn't have dared to say and print while he was alive. That's the liberal theme: refraining from slander as long as there's any possibility of being brought to account for doing it. Attacking people ONLY when they think it's safe to do so. And making "gods" out of cynical liars.
buzzclick500 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 Well, I had thought there was some degree of hope to continue engaging in fruitful discussion, but that apparently is a lost cause. I have no idea where JFK factors into anything that I have said (btw, he was a liberal, so your insinuation that it is a liberal MO to attack people when there is no possibility for being held accountable, which again does not factor into any of my points, could perhaps use a better example.) And I think the mantra "those who ignore history are doomed
koondawg12 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 to repeat it" holds quite a bit more water than what you are implying. Also, I never made any claim that the United States exported MORE than it imported. I simply stated (facutally) who some of our largest traading partners are. Yet you fail to address these points and instead make up new points to argue that have nothing to do with anything pertinent to this discussion. I pointed out FACTS regarding North Korea. You have failed to address them. Same for our trading partners.
koondawg12 9 months ago
@buzzclick500 Finally, seeing how I made the reference to US policy being in regards to nuclear proliferation, that would give you a time frame beginning in the mid-1900's to work with, definately not the era of our founders, who I'm fairly certain did not have nuclear weapons. If you wish to quote me, I'd advise you to keep it in context. People will be more inclined to take you seriously.

Folks I appologise for the long running flame war. I have tried to converse with somone who has no interest in a civil debate. I realise that this is an inappropriate forum for this and as such I will end with this. Nilbud, you are entitled to your opinion. I would suggest, though, before you paint an entire society with the same brush perhaps you should meet some of the people before you judge them by what you have been told in the media. Again to all..my appologies.
pilot352 3 years ago
Just a quick note nilbud. The U.S. contributed 9.5 Billion in lend lease to the U.S.S.R. of which only 722 million was paid back by July 2001. 13.8 Billion lend lease aid was sent to Great Brittian. Thats before the U.S. even entered the war. After the war it was the U.S. that helped to rebuild Japan..flew supplies into W Berlin past the communists and more. So lets face it..despite the blunders the U.S. has commited in the past. We do our best to help when we can too. Of course you wont agree.

A nation's "power" varies directly with the independence and freedom of its people.
The citizens of the USA are neither independent, nor free, despite the nation saying that's what it's the nation of. What does this tell you?
When was the last time you spoke to an American who created his own power, say, from biomass via gasification? Never, I'd guess. That's because people of the USA are not independent anymore.
