@TheTollundWoman [cont3] and come to think of it Seung Man never really worked for the good of SK anyway. lol

@TheTollundWoman [cont] btw north koreans do use cellphones and internet does exist though it is more like a closed network. life in NK IS horrid, but facts are facts and then there are heated opinions... as terrible as it is, history should not be summed up in a few words, and many rewrite history and are not condemned enough for it. [which reminds me of those crazy people who tried to assert that the korean lettering came from outer space.. made stone carvings and all, lol]

[labragull]

@TheTollundWoman o_O... I am also pretty sure that the dictators of NK are terrible tyrants, but dongsoola has a point as well. many people were actually taken away, tortured, murdered just because someone touted them to be a 'communist' for decades, and as a person from SK, i can't say that the forceful occupation by the States was entirely a good thing[because not all of the world needs dabbling or burying agent orange and other toxic chemicals before reguations even existed, thanks]

Big fan of yours from the States, now I live in Korea and really enjoyed this installment.

@kurlyfries2

It was a typo, I have an outdated laptop and some of the keys are close to dysfunctional. Is that your only rebuttal, to criticize a spelling error, instead of responding to the historical facts I cited?

[kurlyfries2]

@TheTollundWoman u spelled fail wrong. and can barely speak shut up.

[GSarovich]

this taught me more then history ever could.

@dongsoola

Thats completely fale. The South Korean govt. called for an election, but Kim Il-Sung refused,knowing that the communists (pawns of the Soviet imperialists) had no hope of winning democratic elections. Instead of letting the people decide their own fate the Communists set up a dictatorship and slaughtered anyone who dared protest.,

You're entitled to your own perverse opinions- but not to your own facts. Can't rewrite history.
