dogs were hungry?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

So again, what’s the problem with big government?

[martin_fierro]

Kim Jong-un's aunt and widow of executed eminence grise Jang Song-taek is believed to have died, possibly by her own hand.

Shot herself in the head. Twice.

Death by 120 cats?

[Revolting cat!]

Dude, are you keep track of the dead trios?

[GeronL]

They rounded up hundreds of Jang family and sent them to the camps, they are rounding up thousands of his associates and likely their extended families too. They will be starved, forced to work and raped and beaten in the camps. Yes, these extended families include children too, they do not distinguish.

[Revolting cat!]

It is such horror, it is difficult to believe. Even the Soviets or the WWII Germans (with notable exceptions, to be sure) were not as barbaric.

[GeronL]

Yep. That is true. NK is this barbaric against their own people. The WW2 Germans did not consider most of the ones they slaughtered in the camps to be “their people”, gypsies and jews and such.

Who living in North Korea WOULDN’T be suffering from alcoholism and depression?

[Revolting cat!]

Actually dude, we need to recalculate our recent trios, not an easy task when you consider the volume of all the recent departures. Un’s uncle, whom we included as a string player in one of our trios, was actually fed to the dogs along with five other players, his associates (thus proving our general theory - uncle + 5 = 6 = 2 trios!), but since that removes him from one of our classical trios, a recalculation is required, and auntie may actually end up in the trio with Phil Everly, not a bad company, for certain.

[Polynikes]

The problem when you play at Caligula 2.0 it can backfire and provoke a desperation driven resistance. People who feel they have nothing more to lose and will be killed anyway might be provoked to act no matter what the possible loss.

[Revolting cat!]

What you’re talking about has happened in the Communist countries (but never in the Soviet Union to our knowledge!) a handful of times since 1945, you can count them on the hands of one and a half hands. The Communists have got the tools and mechanisms of power all figured out, just look at Cuba and Venezuela and Zimbabwe, why do you think it is such a popular method of power?! (NOTE: According to an hour long video presentation on Youtube by an American living in South Korea and studying NK, NK is not really a communist state, but it has adopted some of the methods of communism.)
