Famine - North Korea

MrsProdos Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - So if you really care about human beings, I invite you to learn more about economics - in particular I recommend reading some Austrian school economists, such as Ludwig von Mises. Maybe start with Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson" if you're unfamiliar with this economics school. There's no way that a command economy can prosper for long, if ever. Failure is built in to the system.

Mar 18, 2012 - The pyramid-shaped 105 stories Ryugong Hotel, In Pyongyang was never completed. It was intended to be the world's tallest hotel with five revolving restaurants on top , though one wanders why they need all those rooms when DPRK gets so few visitors. However, the Russians messed up the job and construction stopped in 1992. The empty shell of the 330 meters' structure has remained the most obvious landmark of the city, most certainly, a symbol of the monumental "success" of the regime.

Mar 18, 2012 - its the same in the US, there also millions don't have enough food, not just in the former sovjet state or China-

Mar 18, 2012 - Tell me about it. One in five Americans require food stamps or some other form of assistance. The U.S. "prosperity" is a myth. The U.S. has borrowed itself into near bankruptcy to maintain their lifestyles and now the cows have come home to tread. Record deficits, millions in the unemployment line, one could go on and on

Mar 20, 2012 - feeding north koreans,,, like feeding cockroaches...why should prosperous countries whose form of government and economics are constantly attacked as being imperialistic give aid to these fucktwits?

SuperGetitgotitgood Says:

Mar 20, 2012 - prosperity is a matter of perspective, you could go into the poorest nieghborhood in the US and fing enough food thrown in the garbage to fed a large city in North Korea,

Mar 20, 2012 - You sound like Chicken Little.,someone who watches the news too much and doesn't get out a lot (assuming you live in the US). Sure the US has problems, it always has ..we've been bankrupt about 14 times and have always come out better than before. We never run out of food . That says something . Most folks you see here are kinda fat actually. We may have a lot of folks on food stamps , but at least there is food to buy.....

slipriprock7 Says:

Mar 20, 2012 - Americans spend about 5 billion a year on the weight loss industry. Yes, we must all be starving here..Fatties everywhere, go ahead, look around. They have solved that problem in DPRK. Ever see a bunch of fat North Koreans ? The only fat boy in the country is Kim Jon Un...... Boy, I bet he gets to be first in line at the buffet everyday. Once I hear a guy cut in line ahead of Kim Jong at the buffet. He was shot. Nobody has tried since.

Mar 20, 2012 - North Korea isnt 15 TRILLION dollars in debt, does not have 7 million homes in foreclosure, and one in five people out of work, nor is North Korea involved in useless wars and constant political bickering. American is NOTHING to admire. Like the decadant Roman Empire of ancient days America is beginning to come apart, a slow and painful death

slipriprock7 Says:

Mar 21, 2012 - 1 in 5 out of work? What comic book do you get your facts from? Try 8 out of 100 . That' s 8% . Still not too bad. So we have debt, it's a solvable problem. Useless wars? Like when we saved Kuwait from a mad dictator? The people of Kuwait might argue with you on that..I drive all over a city of 3 million and see no real signs of any poverty , and see very few housing foreclosure signs . Where do you live? North Korea? Political bickering ? At least you won't find that in DPRK.

LSquaredRacing Says:

Mar 29, 2012 - O.M.G.  What planet is this person from? North Korea, I presume?

justposner Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - LOL North Korea the international beggar. Whichever Kimjong is in power, his groupies will eat donated food and then curse the donors.

Lovinight Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - It is just bullshit, you would think the people they have decided to allow to slowly starve to death could be released, I mean come on, either way dead or alive they are leaving, set them free!The frigging leader spends $400k on liquor a year, has 100 limousines & spends everything on military and grand structures, unbelievable.

am1966ath Says:

Apr 16, 2012 - Actually to let people starveto death is part of stalinist ideology,the north koreanslearnt this from Stalin.

MrTurnipghost Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - And they're glad to eat one rat per family per day to meet the, ir Juche ideals! Don't forget those tasty Korean rats! Yum yum! Seriously, Wilfred Burchett's dead and gone. This place is an embarrassment even to socialists. When Angela Davis refuses to talk about you, you're f*cked.

MrTurnipghost Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - Nothing provides constant respect for the Part yand a strong willingness to never interrupt the government than steady stomach rumbling. Stalin

nuttytexture Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - boo-hoo... there's 30 million north koreans and a million die... kim jong il was doing humanity a favor by this famine... people always bitch about the world being over populated... well -- solution addressed.get over it.

SuperOriginalGuy Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - Hey, I've got a great idea. I'll round up all the assholes (like you) in the world that have no respect for humanity,lock you in a dark room and forget you existed. You're nothing but a fat fuck who types away,sparking hate for your own pleasure. You don't know shit until you go through it. Go and run ten miles straight without stopping, that's not even a quarter of physical torment North Koreans have to go through (the only physical torment you've been through is eating too many hamburgers)

am1966ath Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - I don t know if starving people feel respect for anyone really, its painful to starve to death and slowly the starving stop thinking about anything. How those leaders of North Korea are made who knows about the famine and do nothing excepts hail the leader I don t know but in my eyes, they are horrible in every way and also China who supports them.

Kenny2k08 Says:

May 15, 2012 - I wish these people could be helped. I don't understand why their leaders are so selfish. Why not just let your people eat, be happy, and be free?
