Games children play in North Korea

Believe it or not!

North Korean children play a shooting game with a toy gun aiming at a portrait of U.S. President George W. Bush at Namjun kindergarten in Shinwiju, Pyongan-Budo, North Korea.



Utterly despicable, just thinking about the ramifications in teaching such young children to perform these acts of violence. However, early age influence "mind-control" does it not exist on both sides?

yes, this is really sad, that these children are taught to do this..

just wait a little bit.. they're be pictures of some American kids doing the same to pics of Osama or Saddam....

Here's another 'interesting' bit of propaganda, a somewhat well known one.





Thats rather disturbing. I think that the one below is 'fair' tho.



I mean, a country can't be held to blame for saying, apparently, 'our soldiers will beat yours'. But nukes hitting the Capitol? Thats not 'peaceable'. More available here. North Korean must be like america in the late 40's or something.


You can't really make things like this and say you are working with the IAEA or NPT or International Community.

Wow these are some disturbing pictures

Nice post!

I don't think the average American realizes how insane the things that go on in North Korea are. People are so hungry there that they are sometimes forced to dig up bodies from cemetaries just to feed themselves.

Those Propaganda posters look pretty much like those painted during second WW---shows in which time this country is kept under Kim...

Hmmm

I agree these are disturbing images.

But we also know in parts of the US evolution is illegal to be taught in school and teachers who communicate a balanced view of the Palestinian / Isreali conflict are disciplined.

US/UK-produced video games are pure propoganda, taraining kids to 'waste' Arabs. Troops in Iraq have said 'It's just like the video games'.

Seems indoctrination isn't limited to N Korea

Pot / Kettle?

OMG!!! Can’t one post escape anti-American sentiment? Man o man your hatred must run to your core. I feel sorry for somebody so saturated with hate they cannot even say anything at all without injected a hate statement. I really hope there aren’t any kids in your life being raised with such close mindedness...

I agree with Cid. What hate of america are you talking about? The only one here angry seems to be you. What he said is completly correct, it is the pot calling the kettle black.

This is completely untrue.

Certainly not. But big posters of nukes smashing the capitol pehaps go too far. I doubt the world would be as lacksadaisical if when bush gave a speech it had a cartoon of him using the kabba as a cutting block for butchering pigs, or him nuking anyone else's capitol.

Thanks Murundi - just trying to bring a bit of balance to this board, that's all.

Can't any comments critical of the US escape comments like that??

Says a guy spamming the board with 'iran ers evil, we should smash it now' posts.

Anti-American sentiment is definetly high in Korea and it's not just North Korea.
Apparently, a popular song in South Korea is F****** USA.

The video below is said to be from North Korea but the song was made by a South korean.

FUSA-Korea

The video below has the same song but it's played over war footage and protest footage.

I have to say that kids here and in most Western nations are brought up on computer games in which you kill Germans, Arabs, Japanese...in fact quite a few nations.

Not sure I see the difference, its only a game, right?

Kriz, that’s a generalized statement. The statement itself is an ignorant one, you are making assumptions when you use words like "most". You also forget, that these games are available all over the world, not just in the USA. The majority of games aren’t created in the USA at all for that matter anyways.

Your whole statement just reeks of the kind of logic and generalization that breeds racism. This remark is just one step below "those people" and "those kind" of statements.


Back to the point of the post:

This post is discussing the kind of hatred that is being tought in North Korean schools. But just like in ATS fashion, the USA haters have turned it into a US bashing session within just a handfull of replies.

Don't see how. How many war games sell out and become number one? I would say that these games are top sellers in most Western nations.

You also forget, that these games are available all over the world, not just in the USA.

Didn't forget and didn't say otherwise, your point?

Never said they were....your point?

Your whole statement just reeks of the kind of logic and generalization that breeds racism. This remark is just one step below "those people" and "those kind" of statements.

Rofl, what are you on about?

By the way I said most Western nations, not the US specifically. Or is that you consider yourself "most". I am from the UK and was including my country, like I said its a game.

The initial post gives no links and mentions nothing of this beiong taught in NK schools.

What exactley was this topic about then?
