King Jong Il has already designated his son as Crown Prince. He will become ruler when pop dies.

How long he lasts will be a different story. There are plenty of officials there, who, evil or not, are better qualified to run a country. Sooner or later, one of them will resent the fact that the new King rules simply because of who he is, and decide to do something about it.

neelb420: The CIA is the head of this international personality cult, which dictates every statement and action by the very people in this forum. They are soulless, knee-less, mindless punk biatches that serve only one purpose which is to make everyone lazy, depressed, apathetic and stupid. The evidence I have, handed over by the same people who are sadistically controlling the weakest, laziest and dumbest civilian population on earth, the United Sates, proves without a doubt all my prior statements. The question is given that this evidence was PROVIDED TO ME by KIM JONG IL himself, does the United States DESERVE to be released from its shackles, when its population does not fight for its contractual rights at all whatsoever? The answer for me and anyone else with the cajones is that I dont give a shiat. I'm going to do it for myself. If you don't have the dignity, the self-respect or the will to have free will, then you can farking suffer and die in your socially, emotionally, sexually, intellectually and financially abusive paradise, betraying any sense of dignity or respect for your relatives that you could possibly have. It's well understood that the United States police departments and justice departments are corrupt, and also understood that the american people as a group are too lazy, apathetic and stupid to do anything about it, so what is the sense in providing this information in a forum such as this? To let you know one thing: The rest of the f'n world can see you now, and u look like (are) the biggest group of biatch-made pussies the world has ever seen. I'm not fighting for your country, and never would. Your people are pathetic, stupid and lazy to the point of cruelty. I'm fighting for persecution against myself, wherever I may be.

tl;dr

knifefish Quote 2009-07-13 10:27:33 AM
Take a moment to consider this: how awful do you have to be to screw up a dictatorship?

You have complete control over an entire country. You can micromanage as much as you want, have full control over the workforce and military, and dissent is a non-issue. Your country is admittedly old fashioned and backwards. Still, where was NK's Great Leap Forward or Five/Seven/Twelve Year Plans? You could build some impressive infastructure on the backs of oppressed people.


NK had its "great leap forward" for real, right after the Korean War, through the 60's and part of the 70's. Daddy Kim (Kim Ill Sung) presided over faster growth than South Korea and technically standard of living was better in the North for a little while. That's command economy based on slave labour. Fast results at first.

But then stagnation came as such economies can never be terribly efficient or sophisticated. The South then got its act together and into the international export game, and the rest is modern history.

neelb420: Seriously what the fark kind of social life do you people think you're going to have? You live in a fantasy world existence where your gay freak cult has been manipulating stupid people through publishing companies for over a hundred years, now in the information society, you're screwed and your nothing but a circus freak show of losers nobody in there right mind, in the eyes of the worlds social network, is going to want to talk to, or care to talk to. So if your concerned about your social life, or reputation for not being "in" take a look at a world almanac or a census report and you'll see that worldwide there are millions of people (including women I might add) with IQs over 140 and I guarantee that not a single one of them would agree with this behavior. How does it perpetuate? Because 60% of the worlds population is factually mentally retarded due to a lack of education, resources which are deliberately hidden from a very large amount of people, while 85% of the worlds population is considered mentally retarded by the top 15%. Obviously, when you have statistics like that, it is easy to discover where all the social problems come from. When 85% of the population is controlled by 1% of the financially-elite population, those who own the publishing companies (and public education ideologies and methodologies), there is no evidence to suggest what the IQ is of that 1%, except data that shows that 60% of the worlds population is factually and mentally retarded and that over 60% of the worlds population lives in poverty. Obviously if you fall into that 85% category, you might conclude that if in this position, protecting your wealth is more important then protecting your conscience, but thats also why you work for free as a jizz mopper at a gay bar. The fact is that the wealth of the world is controlled by very stupid people, who deliberately make themselves dumber, all the while being completely unaware that they fall into this demographic which is probably why they feel that they are so good at marketing. Acting as cogs of corporations, they don't see there own folly. They may eventually conclude that it's possible when they pushed that crummy how to business guide with its social darwinist philosophy into private university courses, that they created the next Adolf Hitler, who went on to send the employees children into concentration camps for not buying Pepsi. Meanwhile, at another private university, the irrelevant Karl Marx is praised like kids hearing Michael Jackson for the first time..

There are more posts in this thread than words in that article.

FTFA: SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has pancreatic cancer, South Korean broadcaster YTN said on Monday in an unsourced news flash.

Yay! An unsourced newsflash!

Here's another unsourced newsflash: Obama is gay, and Hillary Clinton's vagina doesn't have teeth.

Look, I fully support your First Amendment rights to express your opinion...whatever that may be. what I don't support is awful writing. Learn to write like your talk, and you should be fine. Commas are pauses which naturally occur in conversation, paragraphs delineate a new thought, that sort of thing.

Unless you actually talk like that, in which case, up the dosage on the ADHD/Bipolar meds, or go back to taking them.

If confirmed, this would could help explain the recent irrational "shows of force" by North Korea. Essentially it would be NK attempting to cover up any "weakness" that potential enemies may see by a show of aggression. It's the same reason Saddam kept up the WMD scherade for so long. This is also something that wounded animals in the wild do to keep predators away.

clusterfrak: shanrick: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I finally went to the doctor last week for a checkup and the doctor told me that pancreatic cancer is not hereditary. That was a load off my mind. Figure my dad got from his pacreatitus caused by his love of Jim Beam and Coke. I don't drink sodas and only have a couple of glasses of wine on the weekend.


You sure? Jimmy Carter used to do commercials for fundraising for research into pancreatic cancer, and he mentioned it killed his father, brother and sister, IIRC. I just remember him rattling off several family members.
