@balduino38 One border is extremely hard to get into and is meant to keep people in and out. The other is extremely porous and is only mean to keep people out. Pretty different actually.
@bonsaimountain So the documentary sucks, the guy sucks, the music sucks, and youtube comments suck? What the fuck are you doing watching then, asshole?
George Bush nor the entire US government hasn't got a clue. All they have are fabricated reasons to stigmatise a country that's far away from them, that's never threatened the US, that just wants to be left alone, and that would be much better off without the American troops in the South. But the US war machine has to keep on rolling, doesn't it ?
As much as I agree with the USA minding its own damn business, I'd quite like to see the liberation of the gulags and to know that the North Koreans have their human rights met. Considering all the innocent civilian deaths as a result of the west trying to liberate other countries in recent years, I reckon that if the west ever got involved to the same extent in the DPRK then they'd make a right pig's ear of it.
And that's why so many of the world hates the US - the thought system of, "Oh, you can do what you want, but we'd rather you do what we want you to do before you do what you want." There are no such thing as human rights - it's a modern American Social Ideology that will crumble in the nearby future when Americans need to choose between feeding the world or feeding themselves.
Oh absolutely it's a social construct. But denying things such as thought, free speech, life, religion and the freedom from torture and slavery is harmful, wouldn't you agree? Perhaps benevolence is a social construct too, but I simply hate to see my fellow man suffer. I'm pretty sure that the human rights act was a United Nations endeavour and was contributed to and upheld by many nations, rather than being the sole brainchild of America per se.
@passwordforgetter I think USA feels some kind of responsibility for all countries on the planet... They're just the most powerful country in the world and I think it's a little bit embarassing for them that people in NK live in such low standarts and they do nothing about it/ And by the record, I'm not american citizen... I'm european.
@perversionador Haha, you're funny... If I'm old enough to vote in my country I wouldn't call myself a kid, even If I'm under 20. I think you are the immature person here showing your contempt to me, and naming me a kid. Firstly I'm not saying I fully undestrand geopolitics, because I'm not interested in understanding it at all. I'm just saying how it looks like from my point of view. Oh, I know I must have abused you by saying that USA is powerful country right?
yay they got weapons of mass destruction, but will they use it? 99.9% NO, and the USA was the only country using nuclear bombs against civilians...too bad bush has gone -.-
You haven't lived while World War II in Poland, and you want to know how it looked when Hitler was on charge - go to Korea. I think it could have looked like that...

@agoddamnsexfiend We are talking about WWII nukes, the U.S and other countries had kept developing nukes until the cold war and they are most likely to be more devastating. Anyway, Japan was in no position to do anything after the nukes were deployed, they were in a state of cripple.

@TheAnn2shoes Camera lens in his friends glasses about the size of a tiny screwhole. And a point & shoot camera. This dude carrys his balls with him in a wheel barrow. Lucky the N koreans are back in the 40's when it comes to the latest spy gear;)

I fear it will not be anytime soon, but regardless of the reasons for its eventual occurence, many people thought the unity of east and west Germany to be an impossibility.
I hope I will live to see such people proven wrong once more.
Its a difficult thing to get your head around. I am aware a huge amount of bias that is portrayed here but somethings just don't make any difference. The leaders of this country are disgusting human beings depriving human beings of individuality and freedom.
who does this guy think he is? what has he ever acomplished? all this redneck does is constantly diminish an entire culture (way of thinking) or the efford of a lot of people with a few words. this asshole just mockes and gets helpfulness, trust and friendly respectfulness in return, althoug, as the portrays it, everyone was educated to hate him. i dont have anything to do with NK or asia, but i am truely disguested by this man!
@aleken I think he's just having people out(in western world) there be aware of their way of life and how they have it so hard and that americans should be thankful for what they have and not take things for granted ever thought of it that way, and please its not their culture its their crazy government
@chuj00 Actually Americans use the Swedish. For example when that American was recently released from NK prison after President Carter visited NK to bail him out, the US and Swedish embassy in NK were communicating. Get your facts straight.
@vampx2k7 Actually that's not true. They have computers there. The nicer ones are in technology universities. There was a great doc made by a Chinese woman and she talks about North Koreans using cells. You can rent them as well while you're there. They're all probably wire tapped of course.
Ask Kim Jong Ill if North Korea is glorious. If he says YES, then you need to trust him because he is the most intelligent and complete man in the world. True story!
If i ever feel the need to kill myself, im not going to slit my wrist like some emo fag, Im paying my way over to the N. Korean border, so i can run at the guards screaming and waving my arms.
Do they let people bring camera's when visiting the country or what? If you had something like a basic Flip Video Camera or one of those pocket camcorders would that be considered something you cannot you bring into the country. In the video it sounded like you can bring only the very basic point and shoot camera but nothing else.
@saikasha712 that's a load of rubbish and arrogance from a journalist who couldn't be bothered to follow rules, thereby putting lots of people at risk and stopping many from going to North Korea. An idiot, in other words. Everyone who wishes to travel to North Korea with good intentions can do so, and bribing is definitely not necessary nor recommended. It's people like this reporter who cause problems for everyone else, including the guides inside NK
@passwordforgetter I think you misunderstood his intentions... He wanted to see us how it is inside of this regim country, because not everyone can afford that kind of trip. And prohibition of filming there, is just showing their fear to others of what happens inside the country... (Sorry my english is not perfect, but I think you know what I meant).
@johnnaPL No no no all this Western propaganda is just as bad as the North Korean propaganda. I go to North Korea every six months or so for educational exchange reasons, trying to bring some peace and international understanding through educational means.
@johnnaPL North Korea is not how it is portrayed in the West and it is not how it is portrayed in North Korea ... It's impossible to know what really goes on there, even long-term residents don't know. So let's not make judgments or pretend that we know. I encourage everyone to travel there and to try and understand (a little bit) for themselves ...
@passwordforgetter Well it's a little bit hard to travel to NK from Poland, or from every place in Europe. Or maybe not hard, but very, very expensive. I would love to see how it is for real, but after all of this I'm a little bit scared and if I would have to choose between spending that kind of money for travel to NK or Peru, Zimbabwe or India I think I wouldn't choose NK...
@Flamespark32 No guarantee the Russians and Chinese wouldn't ally with NKorea though. Use them as the excuse to finally start what they want to finish.
@Dangturtle i really dont think the russians care all that much. russia isent even soviet anymore. it seems like russia is just trying to let bygons be bygons and get on with there life. russia is no stranger to opression and war, now that they found an out at the end of the cold war, they took it.
@Flamespark32 Are you serious? Countries allying with each other and going to war because of some petty conflict was how the first World War started...
@VoNguyenGiap1 During his entire election campaign, as well as during his time as Illinois senator, he supported the war in Afghanistan. It's possible to be black and support the war in Afghanistan at the same time.. As for Israel, I'm no "friend of Israel" and their occupation, but Obama has been throughout his election campaign and presidency.
@VoNguyenGiap1 So because Obama sent 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, and he's black, he must not be deciding? A black person can have their own opinions too. One of Obama's main foreign policy goals BEFORE he was persident, was a troop surge in Afghanistan. In addition, Obama was a sworn "friend of Israel" the entire time he was campaigning, and frequently advocated Israel's right to defend itself. I don't get what your point is.
@VoNguyenGiap1 Who rules the country? Our president is black, our ambassador to the UN is black. Our attorney generals is black. Our secretary of Veterans Affairs is Asian. Our secretary of Energy is Asian. Our secretary of the interior is Hispanic. Our secretary of education is Hispanic. The truth is, the US has the most racially diverse administration in the world. Where I live, in California, whites are now a minority, and this true for a number of other states as well.
@VoNguyenGiap1 A large number of Chinese and Japanese have been in the United States longer than most white people in the US. Many Chinese and Japanese came to the US before Irish, Italian, Greek, Scandinavian etc. Hispanics have been in the southwestern states longer than white people have, and many Asians and Hispanics today are 3rd, 4th, even 5th generation.
@VoNguyenGiap1 "fuck white retarded and racist ppl" is the only racist statement I've heard in this discussion. Btw, I'm not white, and the US is not a "white country". Whites, Blacks, Asians and Hispanics have lived here for centuries and are just as American as anyone.
But above all North Korea should be taken seriously, they are mentally disturbed and will attack the south any day now! They believe that we are preparing to invade them don't any of you idiots read the news? Their people are under a mythical spell and they believe that they live in the greatest country in the world but you know what's not so great? The Famine that has wiped out Millions of North Koreans, The Concentration Camps where 400,000 North Koreans still remain imprisoned!
@Gichnni lol, forgeting the fact the USA was the only country in human history to use atomic bomb in a war. My point stands - it's ok for big daddy, USA, to have thousands of atmoic bombs, but it is huge NO NO NO for North Korea. USA is holding world PEACE amirite?
@Slayerfan84 lol... they have a "right to vote" :D It's pathetic argument. By the way: how can americans vote out politicians that are in power NOW? They wouldn't commit a referendum. They would just use their ability to nuke NK for example and all voting would come post factum. That's the fact. That's how politics works. All politics. So don't blame NK, because it's USA that threatens all other countries with its nukes. It's the USA that have thousands of bombs, not NK. Why? Freedom you say LOL
@MaikUniversum Suppose your hypothetical is true, can North Koreans still have their voices heard? Can North Koreans say to their family "You know what I disagree with Kim I am moving to China"? Can they say that? Can they oppose the regime? Freedom of course I SAY AS AN AMERICAN! Because you know what, if I don't like anything or disagree in any way with this government AND ITS LARGEST FREE MARKET IN THE WORLD! I can LEAVE any time I wish! Can North Koreans Leave??
@Slayerfan84 lol "leaving" does not constitute freedom. Why should I leave, for example, if I was born here and have property? Can you not pay your taxes? No. Can you avoid public schooling etc.? No. I agree, that USA is more free than N.K, but USA is not an example of freedom, because after all, all countries use violence agains their citizens. That's what I wanted to point out. I am not pro-totalitarian regimes.
What the hell are you talking about? North Korea along with the South Korean border, or the DMZ, is the most militarized zone on earth you idiot! Why do you think that is? What of the GULAGS? Are you saying Google Earth is fake? Are you saying that Google earth is made up and Gulags don't exist? What of the nearly 7 Million who have perished as a result of the famine that hit North Korea? Don't ignore facts! North Korea has a MASSIVE Food Shortage! Who the fuck are you trying to kid here.??
By the way here's another fast fact ragrding your beloved admiration for this fucked up regime and this fuck up system that will eventually crumble. You know I always say that, there will be no need for military confrontation with North Korea, they will just starve to death at some point! But anyway, According to A little organization (Just a tiny one) Called World Press Freedom Index, [North Korea] 'where the privately-owned media is not allowed and freedom of expression does not exist".
@Slayerfan84 I don't admire fucked up regimes (neither NK, nor USA), do not misinterpret my words, please. I actually showed you the USA's hypocrisy. Criticising USA doesn't mean I love NK dictatorship.
@MaikUniversum wwell by that logic your criticizing the world because every regime has its flaws! I mean Americans are hated also because we have freedoms that other countries don't even have in their wildest dreams! That's a fact! Can't practice Christianity in North Korea can you? Can you practice any religion in North Korea? Can you have a trial and lawyer to defend yourself against injustices? Where is North Korea's Department of Justice?????Freedom???
@MaikUniversum No its not attempting to constitute anything in the world, just promoting peaces and freedoms that other countries only dream of. But where is North Korea's justice department??????????
@Slayerfan84 in North Korea obviously. Every country has its own laws. Some countries let more freedom for people, some, like NK, forbids almost everything. Why you are still trolling? I am not from NK.
Not only the USA has nukes. For instance, the UK and France also have them, which is fine. The difference is that the USA, the UK, and France aren't threatening the world with them.
Either you know that comparing the US to NK like that is ridiculous and you're just venting your hatred, or you genuinely believe it and are delusional. Not sure which one is more sad.
@0906peter you think having nukes and not letting other countries to have them considers "not threatening"? By the way, how does NK threatens "the world"? It hadn't threatened me at all, for example. I just don't give a shit. All I care is principle, and hate double standards that you and your ilk is holding all the time when speech turns about politics.
"There is a consensus among first world countries"
Who gave the "first world countries" the right to decide who can have nukes and who can't? God? Jesus? Allah? Tooth Fairy? Easter Bunny? It's rather arbitrary piece of crap. AND DOUBLE STANDARD. No go read a book.
It appears you don't see the difference between a rogue state arbitrarily threatening nations that did nothing to warrant it and a developed, recognized democracy wielding it's power within reasonable limits. And FYI, I never said everything the US does is perfect, but it's far from North Korea. And of course the first world has a bigger say than the second and third world. Are you dense? Do I really need to explain why this is the case?
@0906peter "It appears you don't see the difference between a rogue state arbitrarily threatening nations that did nothing to warrant it and a developed, recognized democracy wielding it's power within reasonable limits"
You are correct. I don't see a big difference. Violence is violence, no matter a majority of people supports it or not.
"And of course the first world has a bigger say than the second and third world."
And that's because? Of God? Tooth Fairy? Explain, please. I'm curious.
@0906peter P.S. you seem to have a morality of "might makes right". I'm not surprised. Pretty much nyone, who supports violence, especially in the name of "democracy" has such kind of morality.
"you seem to have a morality of "might makes right""
Not at all, the Soviet Union was mighty, so was Nazi Germany, just to name some examples. They were far from right.
Development, reason and knowledge make right. The secular west tends to be better at those things. And not every form of violence is the same. Self defense for example, is not a bad thing. And sometimes military action is needed to prevent/end bad things.
You seem to be very bitter about the existing distribution of power in the world. Is this Eastern European post-Soviet bitterness? It seems ungrateful, considering Western Europe is helping you recover from sixty years of communism.
@0906peter Mighty, but US was mightier, I presume. My argument stands. You have a morality of "might makes right", because you think, that just because the majority supports something, it is moral and thus - just.
"Self defense for example, is not a bad thing."
Yes, but still, you think, that it the case if majority do this, not the minority :) we see this in the example of NK and Iraq and other wars and crimes commited by States (not only US).
The USA does let other countries have nukes, that's the point. Countries that the international community deems fit to have them. There is no double standard. North Korea constantly threatens South Korea, Japan, and other actors in the region with force. It's actions could trigger a world war. There is a consensus among first world countries that North Korea should not be allowed to have nukes, based on the same standard other countries are judged by.

Watch the 7th part and be careful at 4:07, when they get into the elevator, you can see the man behind with the camera in his hands. I wonder, how did they get it into the North Korea!??

As for Israel, I'm no "friend of Israel" and their occupation, but Obama has been throughout his election campaign and presidency.
jwh30385 1 year ago
@VoNguyenGiap1 So because Obama sent 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, and he's black, he must not be deciding? A black person can have their own opinions too. One of Obama's main foreign policy goals BEFORE he was persident, was a troop surge in Afghanistan. In addition, Obama was a sworn "friend of Israel" the entire time he was campaigning, and frequently advocated Israel's right to defend itself. I don't get what your point is.

Not at all, the Soviet Union was mighty, so was Nazi Germany, just to name some examples. They were far from right.
Development, reason and knowledge make right. The secular west tends to be better at those things. And not every form of violence is the same. Self defense for example, is not a bad thing. And sometimes military action is needed to prevent/end bad things.
