If I roam around in North Korea sporting long, state-unapproved hair will I get scalped?

People usually find visiting North Korea pretty interesting, considering how we often perceive them as being very "different" from us, and considering they're an isolated totalitarian dictatorship.

Why would anyone want to visit a country which doesn't have high standards of living? There's a million other factors too, you know.

The basic point is that everything the Soviet Union ever laid its' hands on turned to shit, itself included, and never matched the West socially or economically while the opposite is true for the US and US-aligned organizations, save maybe for South American countries.

EDIT:

North Korea vs. South Korea
Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, etc. vs. West Germany, Spain, France, UK
Libya, Syria vs. Turkey

and the list can go on and on.

What does this have to do with your lack of knowledge on North Korea and view of Africa as a monolithic block of starving poor people?

Pretty much all your posts on North Korea, as well as the use of "some African countries."

Unless, of course, you'd like to refute this.

I think it's a 4chan meme.

I don't know whether it's related to the "Best Pony" meme (or how, chronologically), or whether they have a common origin.

Anybody against the libertarian party should support this. The government knows what is best for the people right?

Even better, everybody (men and women) should be required to have their head shaved every Monday. This will ensure unity and equality. It would be a socialist dream right?

But if we don't have the government to tell us how to cut our hair, everything will descend into bad hair day chaos.

The funny thing about this is, Kim Jong-un seems to be rolling a custom hair style. I suspect he is a capitalist pig-dog infiltrator.

There's a picture of the hair styles (at least the male ones, anyway) in the article.
