So this is Kim's answer to the countries problems...... Promote ignorance, deny education... Typical.
Although it doesn't surprise me, it angers me that these people have ZERO chance at prosperity. Someone needs to pick little Kim and his boys up by the neck, and throw them out.
The people of North Korea have no chance at a normal life, with this little mad man at the helm.
How about employing the unemployed?? How about employing convicts?? The last choice should be canceling education.

LOL and yet N-Korea is more advanced in the sciences than many nations around the globe. N-Koreans are very smart, and it kinda makes some Americans jealous because the starving people of Korea is still moving forward even though US has pointed all its nukes at it, implemented scientific research ban and trade bans.
I have read some of your posts, and it is typical MSM propaganda, I don't blame you, but I do like the laugh.
North Korea has been planning this for a while, and it coincides with the construction of the economic zone. This will be very interesting, can't wait to see what N-Korea will unveil in 2012. This next giant step for N-Korea makes me wonder.
Tensions on the Korean pensinsula were at their most dangerous level since the 1950-53 war today when North Korea threatened to use nuclear weapons in a "holy war" against its neighbour after South Korean tanks, jets and artillery carried out one of the largest live-fire drills in history close to the border.
