Is there anyway for anyone to verify this story? Its just instinct for me to get skeptical with news about dictators who close their countries to foreign media. I think it was Stalin, who was dead for a long time before Soviet media told the world he died...presumably.

Never assume anything with dictator rulers and any news that comes out about them, thats just how i play with it. If he truly is gone, good riddance is all i have to say, but the rule in North Korea will pass on to one of his sons as most dictatorships do.

In mourning: A North Korean woman holding flowers walks through a fence to enter the North Korea embassy to mourn the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Beijing, China


Expressive: North Koreans have been breaking down in tears following the news that their leader has died
 
Damn..
Obama just sent kim his xmas card.. Could have saved himself the postage if he had waited.
I wonder If he left his son his **'big book of empty threats' (hardback edition), so that he can continue the tedious bluster that his father was famous for

No doubt he will lie in state.. and indeed, what a state he was..

Those are some kickass platforms KJI is sportin'. :thumbsup:

Aww look, it's a vile homophobic bigot. Why do I think it's a really safe bet that you hate NEGROS and think Obama is a MOOOSLIM commie as well. You and all of your vile bigoted racist friends can go fuck off this board.

WTF is this? And may I ask, WTF rock did you crawl out from under, troll?

Since when has it been bigoted to call a person who is a reported homosexual "homsexual"? Dumbass. :facepalm:
