As North Korea struggles to come to grips with its need for a free market society, and economic reforms. Tourism is trickling into Pyongyang and bringing more and more Canadians, Europeans, Chinese and Indians into the country. This influx of tourism is exposing some the citizenry of North Korea to the many nuances of life outside their boarders. Against this backdrop the affluent and not continue on with their daily lives, much as anywhere else in the world. Going to work, school, shopping or even to the ocean for a picnic and a swim.

Jun 29, 2011 - @616TheBeast616 Please elaborate on calling me an idiot. If I misinterpreted what you wrote, then I apologize. But if you really think that north korea is a good place and believe that sicko who keeps the citizens in a constant state of fear and oppression is just fine, then you need to have your head examined.

Jun 29, 2011 - @TaylorJ415 lol, I was just joking bro. I thought it was obvious when I said 'grorious reader'. Also, my grammatical mistakes in my response were also intended.

Jun 29, 2011 - @AtheismCentral good luck on your trip and make sure you kiss the feet of the statue of "the great leader" (required for ALL foreign visitors) and just watch what they "show" you. Ask why you can't go see the countryside and why visitors are only allowed in the capital city. You will see big buildings with nobody living in them and propaganda EVERYWHERE. It's very scary.

Jun 29, 2011 - @616TheBeast616 I apologize then. It's just that my mom went there a few years back with World Health Organization (she's a neurologist who specializes in studying the effects of malnutrition on the brain and body) and she was mortified. She cried for about a week, and this is a woman who sees people die on the operating table all the time and this was like (her words) "nothing as awful I've ever seen" Sorry for the misunderstanding bro. Peace. -T-

Jul 6, 2011 - @YoshiTheGreenOne Evil empire... And even more evil propoganda. Tell me about what they they do to their citizens. Oh wait, starvation isn't THAT bad. Fuck you for supporting a "country" with an evil leader

Jul 6, 2011 - @AtheismCentral While you're there, go ahead and renounce your American citizenship and ask for political asylum. I know it must absolutely suck having electricity on 24 hours a day, internet access, readily available food to eat, unrestricted travel, voting rights, and the right to think for yourself. I guess living in China during the early 80's doesn't validate my argument does it? Oh well, I'd say make your allegiance to Kim and then tell us how it is working out for you a year from now.

Jul 6, 2011 - @AtheismCentral If you feel compelled to respond with hostility, go for it. You won't hurt my feelings, kid. America has more than its fair share of flaws and it would be foolhardy to think otherwise, but at least you have the option of coming from and going to Pyongyang. The North Koreans don't have that option and cannot voice dissent without fear of harsh reprisal. If you claim that you are against oppression then why in the hell are you supporting it???

Jul 13, 2011 - @freandwhickquest I'm kinda curious why your questions were marked as spam?? These are quite legitimate questions IMO. But then again, I suppose this is what we can expect from people who embrace a "big brother" sociopolitical system who have no clue whatsoever what it is like to be forced to live under these conditions. My guess is you would get the "western propaganda" response anyway. Having lived in China I can attest who is getting the short end of the stick with human rights.

Jul 13, 2011 - @freandwhickquest People who romanticize this stuff should do all of us a favor and live under those conditions for a period of time before going off on a tangent about how crappy they think they have it now. At any rate, they cannot tolerate differing ideologies, freedom of speech, religion, enlightenment, or anything perceived as contradicting to conformity. Having experienced it myself, I find communism to be a disgusting and barbaric parasite completely bankrupt of human dignity and hope.

Jul 13, 2011 - @acidbubblebath77 Thank you for answering me. I compelety agree with you.

Aug 25, 2011 - @acidbubblebath77 state run communism is not actual communism..true communism is against a state authority..communism is beautiful on paper, but human still need a government to enforce it, which always end up perverting it.
acidbubblebath77 Says:
Aug 25, 2011 - @itzahazylife My arguments below were in reference to state run communism under the assumption that the target audience reading them is cognizant of the difference between state run communism and communism in ideological terms. With that said, I agree that if communism could actually work in its true form, then perhaps we would be living in a utopic world free of nationalism, armed conflict over individual nation state sovereignty, resource inequity, and ethnic strife.

Aug 25, 2011 - @itzahazylife There are probably other benefits to humanity I haven't mentioned as well. However, I think you basically summarized it on why it hasn't worked in ideological terms, so far anyway: How do you enforce cooperation from the public on a national level if, ideally, its not supposed to have a large central government as a means of authority? How can a system such as this function while not infringing upon civil liberties? Any idea? Curious what yours or anyone's thoughts ate on this.
