I think from here on out, all liberals who want to sign up here have to spend a month or so living in Pyongyang, Havana, or one of those other "paradises" they keep extolling and gushing over.

Looks like an okay place, could use a paint job, some cars and some money though.  Cube is a better example then NK.

Man this place looks to be just bubbling with excitement. Doesn't appear to have changed a bit compared to the hundreds of Kodachromes my Dad has from his days in the Korean war 60 years ago. The south has of course advanced with time with the rest of the free world but the north looks like it hasn't changed a bit since '53.
Pretty impressive rubble cart though which deserves its props, that's the sporty model with rubber tires not the old ox cart style with wooden spoked wheels.

Yeah, I bet so. I've noticed that the sky isn't as black and full of stars at night like when I was a kid. The street lamps up town and the night lights in all the country home yards just blot out a lot of the weaker stars.

When I was a kid, very few people had porch lights that were on all night, and there only streetlights at the ends of the blocks.  I can remember sleeping outside on summer nights and seeing Milky Way. Now living in town few stars are visible, and the brightest ones are actually the planets.

like a Nazi concentration camp

not to many years back NATGEO did a documentary inside North Korea. it was a fascinating look into hell. ill put the vid up here but its about 46 mins.
if you even looked disloyal you were hauled off to prison. to keep you company they rounded up your entire family.

BTY the north still holds the USS Pueblo (AGER-2) they captured on January 23, 1968. during the Nam war. but that's a diff story
I am considering downloading this vid and burn it to a DVD

My heart aches for these poor people.  More oppressed than in any other country on the face of this planet IMO. :bawl:They starve to death so the military can eat, LITERALLY.  And then you get asshole libs who wail about not being able to buy steak and soda or what the **** ever with their food stamp cards. :argh:
