North Korea Megathread

[Conserative Morality]

That'd be a reason to raise an eyebrow, sure. But... couldn't we say the same thing about President Obama? After all, he eats rather lavish meals while Americans starve.

Not that I condone making fun of Kim Jong-Un's weight, but really, when was the last distribution/supply related starvation death in the US? Our private and public security nets are massive.

This, ladies and gentlemen is a grade A post. Every world leader eats lavish meals while their people starve, it's not unique to Best Korea.

you're right. i am eating mud cookies right now. oh wait. most people aren't starving, and my entire family isn't at risk of being put in a camp for calling the dear leader fat and decadent? well would ya look at that.

Are you telling me you don't eat mud cookies? Alyakia, I believed in you...

[Alcase]

Hopefully some of his more sensible officials will overthrow him and begin repairing DPRK, or maybe even begin the process of entering a political union with ROK.

[Atlanticatia]

i wonder if kim jong-un will become really popular in the gossip magazines

"kim jong-un: socialist or socialite?"

"kim jong-un packs on the pounds as leader of DPRK"

.... got it. The reason one should avoid being a massive cunt is because you could become fat. Yeah. That makes sense.

...I follow, now. Just as it's alright to mock K-JU for his weight because he's a massive cunt, it's also alright for someone to mock President Obama for his race because he is, without a doubt, a big meanie in certain ways.

he's not diabetic. he got his weight through his cuntery. obama did not become black through the magic of cuntery.

i mean i'm not that into the fat jokes myself, but really

Indeed. They are massive. Do you deny the existence of starving Americans? Obviously, their existence despite the massive private and public safety nets merits equal disdain for President Obama. As I said, he eats. Americans starve.

I'm not denying that K-JU's a cunt. I'm just saying that, perhaps, the dickery in this thread is not exempted because he's a cunt. It's the same thing as wishing torture on Ghaddafi once he was ousted. Moral propriety should be universal. If you should be expected to hold yourself to a certain standard of etiquette when talking about President Obama then, it follows, that that same standard applies across the board.

[Lavan Tiri]

This is an unsubstantiated rumor made by a South Korean tabloid. Why does the western media treat every B.S. story made about North Korea as fact? I highly doubt Kim Jong-Un's inner circle are giving state secrets to crappy newspapers. All we know is that he is not feeling well, nothing more.

I hope he gets better.

If you're "not into the fat jokes" then why are you taking issue with what I've said? Have I, somehow, given the impression that I like K-JU?

you asked what his weight had to do with him being a dictator and i obliged.

He's the newest Stalin. The man deserves a bit of pain.

not really

the correlation/cause and effect is there, and it's not a new thing. hell it used to be a positive thing for some cultures.

We differ in opinion, then. I may be a monarchist and anti-democratist but I'd never wish harm on any democratist. I find it outright repulsive that those who disapprove of K-JU's regime (however justifiably so) wish him harm. He is, after all, a human being.

[Conserative Morality]

Food insecurity is different from starving to death. Let's not play with false equivalences.

No, I really don't think so. The level of harm and disrespect applied to a person doesn't depend on their basic status as a human being. People who are, as the term the thread is currently fond of would be applied, cunts do not deserve the same respect as others.

Believe me, while I didn't want Gaddafi to be tortured because it sets a bad example for rule of law and humanitarian standards for a new country, I have to say that I really wouldn't have shed a tear or condemned those who did so to him because he, likewise, was a cunt.

I hold myself to a higher standard of etiquette when talking about President Obama because he's not nearly as much of a cunt. I demand some amount of etiquette, even if the demand is below even the level of calling him a cunt, from my fellow Americans because he's the current president of the United States, and the institutions that comprise our country support the office, if nothing else.

But foreign leaders, or foreign citizens? I neither demand nor offer a minimum standard of etiquette

That's like saying that, because the rise in cases of autism parallels the rise in vaccinations, there is a correlation between the two. Dude being a cunt =/= dude being fat.

Fair enough, I suppose.

He's a human being that stuffs himself with swiss cheese and fine wine while his people starve. It's not about democraticism, it's about dickishness.

Some of us believe in ideas of justice; that being human is no excuse for one's sins. Every murderer, every rapist, every oppressor that has ever existed have all been human. To wish justice upon them is hardly evil.

That doesn't dispel my comment.

The man deserves to be fed the poisonous cabbage they used to experiment on prisoners. I hear you only bleed from all orifices for a few minutes, but don't bother screaming or you'll vomit your innards in the process. Or he could be locked in the gas chambers they use to try out new chemical weapons, while observers take notes. Of course, none of this should occur before he's worked to the bone for years, forced to witness executions, starved, beaten, blinded, and raped.

Right, that's only for enemies of the state (a condition surprisingly easy to meet), their extended families, and the next two generations of their families.

[Galter Gulcher]

I think that Kim Jong Un is safely at his secret moon base underneath the Martian soil.

if he wasn't a cunt, he couldn't get fat in north korea. he would not be fat without his cuntery. the cuntery begets the fat. i'm not seeing the problem in my logic.
