I enjoyed reading this very much with the fast pace and the ending of each chapter drawing me into the following one. The questions it brings up of scientific testing and abuses by authority in the name of progress, science or desire got my mind thinking.
The ending solution, with the...
Really grotesque act. Sometimes it's hard to believe these things they're so awful. Definitely the wrong way to go about opposing the war even if their concerns were justified.
"Islam is a religion of piece", I laughed for way too long over that (for the error and not necessarily the stance).
It's very unfortunate that co2 levels continue to rise and the impact it could have on the planet. I think the global population problem and everyone wanting western style high quality lifestyles will make it difficult to meet carbon dioxide reduction targets.
I'm no expert but I really don't...
I don't want to go off topic with those others so I won't go into them. Back to Korea, you're not being rude, I understand why you might say that but it's not true that I don't see the evil in north Korea, I do. I certainly don't think that Kim Il-sung and the Worker's Party was the best thing...
Of course I understand where you and others are coming from. I don't want to start going back and forth again but I'm not 'all' for the DPRK as I've expressed often, even if some are intent on thinking that.
Don't get me started on Chairman Mao and the Khmer Rouge :)
Well, you certainly could be right. Fortunately (or is it unfortunately) we'll probably never get to find out, it can fun to consider though.
And to kenshin akagi, I am puzzled, I thought if I was obviously trolling it would be against the rules. Maybe I should report myself.
Your point is interesting. I don't know if it's your opinion or if it's a fact that the US has stopped the south invading the north but either way I'm sure it isn't as simple as the south going in and wiping out the north. I don't think it would be easy for the south to simply invade and defeat...
To the post above, well yes there's speculation this way and that but I don't want to get into a back and forth and getting no where thing again especially by getting into discussions of hypothetical unrealistic situations. Just one thing I wanted to clarify in case there was misinterpretation...
I'm not sure if your questions are rhetorical or if you're actually asking me but of course I can't deny what the DPRK has said on this matter. I think the Japanese are talking about if a test missile goes over their airspace (as they have in the past) they would shoot it down not that they're...
Lol at how the guy took time to laugh before apparently "screaming in alarm" when the guard points the gun at him.
Female soldiers? Jeez north Korea has sunk so low, what a crime, very newsworthy.
Penal labour? Plenty of countries do it, really nothing strange or unusual.
A homeless...
I'll try to keep my answer linked to the DPRK. I agree with you that nuclear weapons are very scary and any country in some sort of opposition to a nuclear state can have something to feel concerned about. Part of having them is a deterrent and another is bullying power (among others still) I...
They're catching on to me I see :)
And the comment above from Lord Naarghul, I'd hardly call disagreeing with atomic bombings mind blowing or sheer ignorance. It's an opinion (and not an obscure one), and as I stated in the nuclear bomb thread in the politics section a right or wrong answer...
Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread
I don't like this new Mewtwo thing. Mewtwo to me has always been "the most powerful Pokemon" of them all, he's such a classic and immortal and I'm afraid they're going to tarnish him by extending or mucking around with his line. If this...
I see we've boiled down to personal opinions and interpretation again. You can say that you know better what I meant when I wrote it and I can say that I know what I meant when I wrote it. I'm happy to leave our discussion here.
I realize how you've seen it and how you've interpreted it to form your opinion. The fact that I acknowledged the biased though I think is crucial however. I had my original opinion, if the guide had said there was a policy of three generations then my opinion would have changed. I retained my...
I really don't mind the question at all. When I said "And no, I wasn’t expecting any other answer than that from him but it was still reassuring." I meant that if the guide had said that the three generation thing was a true policy of the DPRK, for example if it was commonly mentioned in their...
I hardly used it as a badge of honour. I didn’t bring it up until my 9th post in this thread and even then only mentioned it in two sentences and in one of those I even expressed my acknowledgment of present prejudices. Let’s not get stuck on this small irrelevant point. Please don’t resort to...
That’s very ignorant. Thousands of people visit the DPRK every year; it isn’t hard to go there. When I was there, most people in the tour were Americans. People go there because it’s a strange and unique country. To say that someone loses pretty much all objectivity on a certain topic because...
