Title: Touchy Subject 7: North Korea crisis
Post by: Mlerner12 on July 20, 2013, 12:44:24 PM
In spite of Flicker, I have decided to make another. Come at me!

What are everyone's thoughts on the crisis going on with North Korea? Making the bombs, testing them, threatening war, being stopped by Windows malfunctions, etc.

No offense to Flicker, I just need other people's opinions on this and didn't know if  Flicker would get to it.

Sprry, Piotr, for yet another 😉

I feel for the people in the immediate area surrounding n Korea, they currently have at least ten small scale nuclear weapons and can launch them to countries close by. Hope it never happens. We should stop the slaughter before it happens.

=____= we've had ships armed with Patriot missiles designed to destroy they're feeble attempts at genocide surrounding them for a while now, I'd like to see them try to nuke us. If they failed (likely) I would laugh. If they succeeded (unlikely) then I would be pissed off and watch on the tv as our military destroyed that chubby baby of a ruler they got.

The north? Not at all since they don't allow but a rare visit now and again. But I've visited the south in daegu and it was a gorgeous city, although very populated and I wasn't used to that many people near me at once. Why the question Piotr?

I think it gives you an unusually powerful perspective in this discussion if you spent a few months living there in Korea. I was happy to have that experience, I hope to visit them again.

While I believe that the people of so called South Korea have their quality of life set much higher than the people of so called North Korea, I also believe that the level of unhappiness in North Korea is much higher than in South Korea. I had the unfortunate experience of being born in a communist / implemented socialism country of People's Republic of Poland. It .loving. sucked.

An exaggeration. They actually have lots of nuclear substance, but they test the launches, and that is what goes wrong.
