Crock of crap. Name one person who would "gladly" go to North Korea to live.
I can't believe anyone could defend the North Korean regime.

I saw a film the other night on the news that had been recently smuggled out of north korea. It showed 3 people being executed in a public field with children forced to watch. Their "crime"? Having contact with the outside world.

It was on local evening news (Reno, NV) over the weekend. Sorry, but that's all I recall - except the horror and disgust of the scene, and now add those that seem to think north korea would be a great picnic or vacation spot.

I've been veging out over the news for two weeks now(extended holiday). And I haven't seen anything like this. Have you been fed propaganda?

It may be true that there are some places worse off than NK, but it's because of natural reasons, not a crazy oppressive gov't.

Given a choice I would take famine, oppression, and peace over famine and war.

The world's highest flag tower stands at the entrance of Gijeong-dong (330 meters tall) flying a 300lb North Korean flag. This tower was not originally as tall as it is now, but when the flag pole in Daeseong-dong was extended, thus making it taller than the Gijeong-dong pole, the North again quickly extended their pole taller. However, due to the weight of the flag, the pole would not be able to support it if it becomes wet, hence the immediate lowering of it when it begins to rain. Note: In the late 1970's South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan offered a US$500,000 bounty to anyone who could remove the North Korean flag from the Gijeong-dong flagpole and deliver it to the Blue House in Seoul.
