said by wvcaver  :what a shame it's worse than a shame... the dprk is pure evil... i know, i've been there... i've never seen a more repressed people in my life and i've visited iraq during saddams time in the early 90's which pales in comparison to the dprk... yeah, my minder wouldn't let me go to certain areas, but with enough bribing i was allowed to go to certain areas and what i saw was nothing short of a living concentration camp... it's the only way i can put it... small, diminutive people, who were basically on the verge of starvation who would run away from me at the mere sight of me... and my minder telling me that they've never seen anyone so tall, so big, or from a different race in their life and that i was basically scaring them... i'm basically 6 foot, 200 lbs... i work out, but nothing special, i just keep in shape...
i asked if i could talk to any of them that were willing to talk to me and he said no... not no because they were scared of me, which they were just from the looks and peeps, but because he wouldn't allow it... this little scrawny, low level bureaucrat had that kind of power... it was amazing... everything is regulated there... the one thing i didn't see in any of the outlying areas was power or power generation... no forms of communication... in pyongyang however, it was different and there isn't enough time for me to explain it right now...
damn... i'm not sure why i went on about this... i just saw this picture and i got pissed off all over again... i was enraged by the time i left there and seeing this picture has brought back some of those feelings... sorry for prattling on... |
