Apathy isn't the same as a person having a sense of sheer helplessness and not acting because of that. I wonder how many North Koreans fit into those that are apathetic, those that are brainwashed into liking and following their leaders, and those like I said above just feel so helpless that it seems like they fit into one of the other two categories when they don't. I'd like to think that even after all the propaganda and brainwashing they have been subjected to there are still a lot of North Koreans that want things to change but feel too helpless and scared (for a very good reason) to show it.

I'm sure there's a lot of North Koreans who want better. But I'm sure there were a lot of Iraqis who did too. How many will act? How many specifically want Western involvement (just because they don't like their current "Overlord" doesn't mean they love "the West" in general, nor America specifically). How many are in a place where they can seize power and create stability? With those questions in mind... North Korea has nuclear weapons. You always need to remember that Bomb.

Well yeah, you're absolutely right...I just wanna hear, that this fucktard was dropped with a 700 grain round, from 2000 yards out, and no one ever knew who, or why.
Call it a silly dream, but I wanna know his melon exploded all over the douche bags sitting next to him at the podium.
Mm. I want him dead too. It's just... one of those situations where every path leads to shit.
One of these days the world needs to get itself some Super Friends. The Wonder Twins would totally solve this by turning into an ice sculpture and an emu. I don't know how exactly, but they would so find a way.

But if someone wanted to get ride of the "Kims" and bring North Korea into democracy, they will have to negoiate with North Korea's huge collossal neighbour -China.
If the vote went before the Security Council at the UN, China is one of the 5 Permanent Members which means it need only use its veto to shot down any UN agreed plan to invade.
We can see how the veto is been used right now with the crisis in Syria .
Even if an invasion of North Korea were launched in the morning, it would have to be put through the Chinese first because China is bankrolling the North and they would want to put in their say into the leadership of the country.
And no one could say to China "Go away" because they are the second superpower and they are rising definitely at a level that the United States in aware of and needs to account for.

I'm just disappointed and I hope that this news is not true.
A woman was executed because she did a porn film...it is absurd.
It's not surprise that things like that happen in banana republic like Iraq.
Well, a big minus to North Korean goverment.

North Korea is one of the most closed societies on earth. And outside of what the regime claims was the reason, no one really knows the whats or whys here, right? But most doubt it was just because she (and the others who were murdered) violated some sort of morality law. Considering that he apparently rounded up most every member of any performance group that had links to her group, and either killed them or sent them away to prison or labor camps, I doubt it had to do with her doing a 10 man bukkake gang bang with some 1970's era Sony camcorder (cutting edge modern tech in North Korea!). The only time this girl probably ever took her clothes off was when she took a shower or Kim Jong Un's guards stripped her naked so he could force himself on her.
As for the U.S. killing him, that's not going to happen. As long as China wants to keep the little guy as a Mini Me, he is pretty much safe to do as he pleases. Outside of him posing a direct threat to the U.S., we are not going to do anything to him in a country on the Chinese border. And if "the people" ever tried to revolt, who would support them? Where would they get the arms? Does anyone really think that a protest with people singing "Give Peace a Chance" would work there??? Who would help them? The U.S.? Britain? France? Germany? Hell, we're too scared to do anything about Syria (vs. Russia) - which I don't think is any of our business either, to be honest. So you can forget about us moving on North Korea. And besides, what's the point of killing one bad guy when there are 15 more (5 of whom are probably even nuttier than him) standing in line behind him? And then what? Spend a trillion $ of U.S. taxpayer money "nation building" that impoverished shithole?! Hell no! Sure, I feel bad for them. I can't imagine what it's like to have to eat rats or a human baby just to live. But when Baltimore, Detroit and Pittsburgh are made into pristine cities, then (maybe) I'll be OK with throwing away our money on foreign lands that aren't really any of our business to begin with.
There is a lot of bad shit going on in the world. But I try to focus on the shit here before I worry about someone else's shit.

Are you fucking kidding me dude?!?! Get real, and take a look around...this fuck nut kills people for less then that. You really need to loose that hope for humanity in people, and realize that the world is an evil, vile place...it would be better off without us.

And yes, it would be very nice to know we spent on stealth bombers worth of revenue on helping some homeless, and hungry people in this country...but they don't vote, and the politicians don't see humans, they see votes.
Sucks to be a human being sometimes...I'm truly ashamed of humanity anymore. I really am.
Good post by the way...sadly, it's not funny, because it's true.

Well, looking back at history, it's always been this way. Remember the line about humanity from Lost (if you were a fan of that show): "They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same."
In fact, things are probably better around the world now than they have ever been in many respects. But I agree, we should be able to do so much better. We have it within our power and abilities to do better. But we don't. You can see it in politics (here and abroad). You can see it in religion (all of them). Personally, I think that's why most humans seem so fond of team sports: it gives us that taste of the us vs. them that we so crave. We always seem to revert to our backward, ancient, tribal instincts. But I still believe that charity starts at home. And IMO, if a nation is not doing right by its own people (all of them), then it has no right and no business interfering in the business of others. I guess I'm tribal in that way too. (S.P.Q.A. :nanner:
)Kim Jong Un is a lowlife dictator and a murderer. But it's not up to us to take him out and then spend trillions of dollars setting North Korea right... since we'd have to "nation build" the whole joint and take out every other wannabe dictator in his regime too. Plus, China would go to war with us if we didn't have their blessing (which they'd never give).
North Korea is China's junkyard dog. It's the kill with a borrowed knife stratagem.
We need a junkyard dog. Costa Rica, you up for it?
