With me being the dumbass of this board, and well deserved, I'm wondering thoughts on this. It seemed like the national media kind of put this on the back burner and I didn't think that it should have been.
From what I have gather, a North Korean ship is going to locate themselves in range to hit Hawaii with a missle. If we intercept, they are threating with nuclear weapons. What are your thoughts on this??? I figured I would ask guys that know alot more on this sitation then I would, even though they will spin their political perspective on it! I just want more info then the National News is giving me. Edit: Why is this Jon and Kate shit getting time on a news channel. I had no clue who they were until 3 days ago. They are still in the top 3 news stories of the night. I will watch the P90X informertial instead. |

If North Korea would try ANYTHING like that, the entire would would destroy them. They saw what happened to Afghanistan and want no part of that. This is North Korea begging for attention. The whole world is calling their bluff.
If North Korea was really interested in bombing Hawaii, they'd do it without announcing it. I'm not bothered. |

yeah, even being here i get asked all the time if i'm worried and the south korean people really don't give a shit. while they are overstepping their usual threats (which happen many times, annually), they're still a long way to go for being a serious threat. f3lix is right, not only would the US devastate them, so would the entire rest of the world, and i highly doubt russia or china will come to their defense at something as brash as firing a nuclear missile at another nation.

Supposedly the reason the threat is so serious this time is because they walked away from anti-nuclear weaponry talks. They think we are trying to start another Korean war because we were following their ship that was believed to be carrying missiles. They're probably just saying Hawaii so that we'll defend that area and really they're planning an attack on a completely different location. Wouldn't we look like a bunch of dipshits...

The big deal isn't just that they walked away from disarmament talks, but also that they broke the treaty, so technically they are now still (from a "political" standpoint as the news reports") at full fledged war with no peace treaty with South Korea. Also, as CNN feels the need to point out in every single article, "North Korea has considered just about anything an act of war since earlier this year".

Wait.. what was she executed for? that article seems to shun the 'spying for south korea'
and focus on the bible thing, not that either of those are good reasons to kill someone. I don't know much, but I really don't see anything happen with N. Korea, the best hope seems to be to wait it out. |

^ It implies that she was executed for distributing Bibles and, as I read it, they tacked on "spying" to justify it a bit more. That said, further down, it says:

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

I don't think you're a liar...maybe Dent could try and see if he's having problems. Or, you know, anybody besides us two.

I tried it both at home and at work. The site must block UK IPs. I will try a proxy.

Gay. Either way I think most of these are from the Korean War or shortly after.

I'm about halfway through a documentary on North Korea called State of Mind.
This film was way more interesting than I was expecting it to be. North Korea is a pretty trippy place. It's not something we really think about a ton. They are true Communists. They have this thing called mass games that is a testament to that (and visually stunning; f3lix, whatever drum core you think has got skill, know that they have nothing on the North Koreans). One North Korean woman had a quote when talking about how much she admires Kim Jong Il, she said, "I can't wait to meet him. The whole world looks up to him!" Wow! They really believe that too. These people have no access to outside information or the outside world. There's no internet access. The only TV and radio they can access is government propaganda stations. They worship Kim Jong Il and deeply despite America. They associate Americans as the evil force that bombed their land in the war. And they want revenge. And Kim Jong Il is leading them to it. And that's all they know. Scary, scary stuff. After seeing this, I predict a war with them happens in no more than 15 years. |
