absolute unneeded bashing of a country. that's complete propaganda to get people to hate North Koreans so if ever the US feels the need to invade there won't be an outcry

Some of those "facts" seem a little farfetched. The best thing we can do is ignore them and let the the population stage a coup.

you're not bright... are you? honestly, you're understanding of north korea and the global situation surrounding it is way to fucking retarded to even explain to you. i hate the kids that are being raised like total jackasses because of the combination of the sense of entitlement and the overwhelming amount of bullshit on the internet that is being consumed. grow the fuck up and stop being so damned retarded.

let's take out all the useless words you wrote and see what's left:

 I hate myself because I'm one of those kids who looks at a picture on the internet and believes everything that's on it even though it's source is Fox fucking News and I actually have no idea about anything you do or know or how you are raised and for all I know you've livid in North Korea for a few years but that wouldnt matter even if you did because I like sounding like a complete fucktard calling someone out on the internet for an opinion on a picture.

you need to grow the fuck up. what do you think the reason for that picture is? you never said one thing in your little rant that is useful or intelligent. "but I used the word entitlement" shut the fuck up.

but actually. what is the reason for that picture? I'll bet 90% of it or more is true, but what is its purpose?

False. Chuck Norris puts Kim Jong to shame in golf. Here:

When Chuck Norris played golf for money, he marked down a hole in 0 every time. A pro at the golf club, said to Chuck: "Excuse me sir, but you can't score zero on a hole". Chuck Norris turned towards the man and said, "I'm Chuck Norris." The man then proceeded to pour gas over his body and set himself on fire because that would be less painful than getting roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked him in the face anyways.

inform people you idiot.
if all those same facts were just typed up, only about 1/8th of the people who read it would have.
since it was written in a colored font with a flashy background, people payed attention.

it's basic advertising.

because north korea has a very active nuclear weapons program and saudi arabia doesn't.

true, this poster may be a bit biased. but guess what? if we only received non-biased information we wouldn't be getting much of anything.

I think I have a very knowledgeable understanding of what is going in North Korea, as well as other countries that are just as bad, if not worse. from what I'm getting your understanding is limited to what you saw in the beginning of that James Bond movie. at the moment North Korea is no bigger threat than many other countries but there are people making what i'd call hate posters against them. this is completely unneeded. out of any country I think someone should make one about Saudi Arabia. Go read up on what they're up to and it'll make your skin crawl thinking that they are one of the US's largest trading partners (in terms of monetary value of good.. which is 99.999% oil). and that is the reason a poster like this wont be made about Saudi Arabia, because they make your car run. Who cares about the massive human rights issues in the country, long as we can drive our SUV it's all good right?

If US were getting a large portion of they're fuels from North Korea almost guaranteed that poster would not exist, and that is what bugs me.

not to say anything, but this is the third time in a short period that you called someone either dumb or ignorant. as you were my dad telling me to stop playing with fire.

and to add: you do that without providing too much information yourself.

that other guy made a bolt statement, yes, but you always turn down arguments with "your ignorant", "your dumb" not with an actual counter-argument

so to end this:

a good father (or teacher for that matter) will tell me "see, this is how it works [insert argument here], this is why you shouldnt do that"

a bad father will say "dont do it because i say so"


your pretty much acting as youre jesus and everything you say is pure gold

I'm not saying that Saudi Arabia is a saint, but really, compared to N. Korea? Like Spence said, they don't even have access to the internet. They are the most isolated nation in the world, one of the most isolated of all time, and have an atrocious human rights record. How is it a hate poster? It is showing the facts of how horrible a totalitarian dictatorship can be and how it makes for a population that lives in complete fear and hardly even knows the rest of the world exists. And you think that is unfair and a bad thing?

i dont think we need to rank countries in terms of their fuckedupness

any country (or the people that live there) with problems has a right to receive some kind of help. pretty all the poor countries in africa, southeast asia and southern america

and as you said, public information cannot do any damage for these matters.

Bottom line, is when there is a country like North Korea or Sudan or something like that. The best idea is to not hate on it making very biased posters informing people of it's problems in the worst possible way and comparing it to another country saying "look at how much better we are than them". The better way to go about it is to educationally inform people about what is going on without just bashing the shit out of the country and actually inspire people the think "hey, maybe we can do something to help". because when there are enough people who are willing to donate time and resources towards what they think is a meaningful cause then shit gets done. you cant just say "look at how horrible these people are" and expect anything good to come from that. if it's just hate all the time saying what terrible people they are then chances are no one's going to care to help them out.

Oh shut up.

North Korea is a fucking shit country. Its like Kim Jong Il read 1984 and wondered if he could pull it off in real life. Its not biased..., its stating a bunch of facts. It may be presented with no "good" facts about North Korea, but if you can find me some, let me know.
