Wow, beautiful Pyongyang.
One of the Kim Il-Sung pins all citizens have to wear at all times... this one signifies membership into the political party in North Korea.
How ed is this regime? Kim Jong-Il portrait in a playhouse
EDIT: I don't want to sound like I'm talking bad about the country and its people. Just a couple of pieces of (Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il) who are ruining it.

North Korea is ed up.How ed is this country? Kim Jong-Il portrait in a playhouse
But before some folks on this board begin to label all Koreans the same, there is another country called South Korea. And they are an ally of the United States. Ask any vietnam veteran about the ROK army and what they did in Vietnam.
Both Koreas share the same language and culture but politically, they are polar opposites.
Really? You mean that the Communist Paradise doesn't make all those Hyundais and LG HDTV's? Who knew?
Yeah, really.
North Korea perpetuates a negative image of the Korean people. But there is a positive one in the RoK which is never talked about.

"The names of the Korean Killed In Action (KIA) in Vietnam are engraved on black marble stone, classified by units to which the deceased belonged during the Vietnam War, at the Korean War Memorial, Seoul, ROK. Presented by Vietnam Veterans of Korea."
"At their peak, the Koreans had close to 50,000 boots on the ground, the second largest foreign force to fight for the RVN. . All together, over 300,000 South Koreans served throughout the war. All ROK forces were volunteers. About 5,000 of them died in combat in Vietnam, and nearly 11,000 were injured or wounded."
Where do you live that people are not aware of the existence of South Korea?Yeah, really.

You know... looking at those pictures, as bad as NK must be... sub-Saharan Africa can only dream of having it that good.
Many Americans don't even know all fifty states. WTF are you talking about?
But if you are adept in world history, cool. My posts weren't intended for you.
This is my target audience.
I wish Kim Jong-Il was this cool. Unfortunately, he's closer to Hitler and Stalin.
KJI (and KIS before him) have created an iron-fisted cult of personality around themselves that the Scientologists can only dream of. NO outside TV or media; NO cell phones; NO satellite TV; NO internet access; NO travel (unless you are a party apparatchnik). All the common man knows is what he has been fed by the state media for decades now.How ed is this regime? Kim Jong-Il portrait in a playhouse

I saw a very sad program where an outside agency was allowed to come into NK to perform minor sugeries that any civilized country should be able to handle on a day-to-day basis. Medical access in NK is pretty much reserved for, guess what, the military and the dictatorship. I can't remember if the doctors were from the UK or exactly where.
Here is the sad part. After the (minor) work was done and done successfully the recipients didn't thank the doctors and the staff. They bowed, scraped, and gave thanks to the posters of KJI and KIS as if they were gods and thanked THEM for curing the various afflictions. It's scary. And from all the reading I've done re NK this is not an isolated situation. The people deserve SO much better, but they don't know it.
Capitalism ain't perfect, but Juche is a pathetic joke on the people of North Korea.
Eat , Pyongyang.

It's ed up, but if you keep pounding an idea into people's minds, it's going to stick.
Whats the bigger shame is there is nothing we can do about it.
Stuff like trying to help the North Koreans is something I could definately support and try and get behind.
