Amazing pictures. It's a shame they won't rise up against their dictators like other nations are right now.
It's such a beautiful country. Such a shame that it's being stolen from the rest of the world, and from its own people.
Well hell you better get the rest of your american buddies and jump in there quick smart !!!! it's about time they had american ideals shoved down their throats like iraq and afghanistan...
Isn't it insane that the US fears these highly oppressed and downtrodden people?

I prefer my slave society to that one, thank you very much. Since I've lived in both worlds, I know how good I have it here, despite the imperfections of the U.S. No country is perfect and you'll have men who want to rule the world in every society. Fortunately for us we're nowhere near the slave level of North Korea. By that comparison we're as free as birds.

This is so funny. My wife and I were discussing how western media culture ruined much of the east with our sensationalist views of reality (ie Paris Hilton, Hollywood, etc). She said she wished we lived in a place where people just worked to produce something without care of profit or oil and didn't have corruption shoved down our childrens' throats and, at the same time, have our basic needs covered.
I'm afraid to tell her but that place is North Korea! NK just seems like one big hippie commune stuck in the 50's. They are in a scary spot because they can't stay in their time-warp bubble forever but they don't want outside corruption, either. It's definitely a showcase of how collective production can be successful even without large-scale outside trade commerce.

I prefer our western slave society as well. It's just quite ironic in a sick way of how free we think we are. I live in polite and nice Canada, but look at the recent event called the G20 last summer. Just one example of how mixed up our so called civilized western ideals aren't really clear as mud.
That communal hippy way of living or farming or whatever it is called doesnt seem so bad to me. K.I.S.S.

Canada's version of civilized western society must be different than mine ? I am American and was born and raised American, America's western society is not a socialist democracy...
