North Korea Leads the World in Human Rights

I think it's funny that everyone thinks the west is full of it when it comes to the Middle East, but not North Korea...

A good question may be how many nk's actually believe this to be true? It is sad to think this kinda stuff is fed to them everyday until it becomes truth to them. enjoy ats

Ever hear of American Exceptionalism? Best country in the world? Most free nation on earth? Greatest country in the history of the world?

They're hardly alone in believing ridiculous claims.

.but couldn't keep a serious face.

A bit like when Colin Powell kept a straight face telling the UN about Iraqs centrifuges and shipments from some african nation headed to Iraq

But more to the topic...why would the report be 53000 (about 200 pages) words long. Too short, the bureaucrats at the UN wouldnt tough anything under 700-800 pages. They'd be suspicious at the brevity, have to keep people employed and productive

Whats even sadder is that in the US cops in military gear are on the rampage: Fed to them everyday at the point of a gun until the truth causes a breakdown in the psyche. The psyche then reconstructs itself, fiction (coping mechanism) now becomes truth, and denial an everyday way of life, the norm.

if Obama can win a nobel peace prize...

Any of you ever been to North Korea?

How come many of you never mention Israel's human rights when the UN bring it up but as soon as is North Korea you swallow the whole thing?

I'm not saying they're good or bad...
Truth is we don't know...

So all your claims, and the UN's, are baseless...


Poor form ATS...
Poor form!!!

Oh...we do know...

I doubt it's baseless but I won't be traveling to North Korea anytime soon to see if it's true...

The beaches are just beautiful there too, that's if your ever allowed on to them, this one is guarded by an electrified barbed wire fence ( to stop people from attempting to swim away of course)

Great vacation spot!

I read as much as I could on the report...before getting a headache...
Mobile user you see and it's a lot of info but tiny writing...

I'll get back to it later!


From what I read, some of it is alarming, although based on speculation & third person testimony...

Some of it was completely irrelevant...

Some of it sounded better for a child's upbringing than we have to suffer... Organisational skills, methodistic teaching to ones abilities...etc


For now, I'll stick with we don't know... But thanks for sharing my friend!!!
Interesting read!!!

A better analogy if I may...
Do I need to go to a Masonic Lodge to know that Masons are not trying to control the World?

The answer, yes!!!

Yes. I have.

Back in 1977. My father was stationed at JUSMAG-K in Seoul in South Korea.

We went up to the DMZ, and in the Meeting House, you can cross over into N. Korea inside that building.

Didn't see much of course. Except for the N. Korea solders looking into the window, laughing, yelling and giving everyone the middle finger.

South Korean's solders, the ROK, were much more professional, standing their watch like they were suppose to.

But yes, I HAVE been to N. Korea.

Thanks for the info...
It was a genuine question, not rhetorical backbiting as it may seem...
It's hard to convey tone with text!


Any signs of HR violations on your visit?

Signs posted on the N. Korean side saying anyone crossing the DMZ into N. Korea would be shot on sight. Always wondered about that since the DMZ is suppose to not have any weapons there.
Angle of the border was such that you could see the other side of the sign, warning anyone attempting to leave N. Korea would be shot on sight.

According to the 1948 UN Human Rights charter, that would be a violation of someone's human rights (Freedom of Movement, and Right To Life).

What is everyone waiting for?

I'm packing my bags and heading to sunny North Korea!

(I go there for the starvation. . . I stay there for the public beatings. . . . . )

I'm thinking this is NOT the place for you my friend!

A rabbit breeder who sold 12 of his animals to North Korea so the communist country could start its own breeding programme fears they have been eaten by officials. Karl Szmolinsky sent the huge rabbits, which can grow as big as dogs and produce 15lb (7kg) of meat, to North Korea last year so they could be bred and used to ease desperate food shortages. www.telegraph.co.uk...

BTW, maybe your prehistoric ancestors?

Peace

They say N. Koreans are mostly fed propaganda about the outside world and all they know is what their government tells them or lets them know. But I wonder, couldn’t it be possible that everything we know about N. Korea is propaganda.

Very unlikely but it’s fun to think about, maybe they are a perfect utopia but want no interaction with the outside world.
