Young North Koreans have been warned they must follow traditional lifestyles and adhere to the country's dialect.

Some Asian countries regularly eat dog meat. In NK, that may be the only meat they have. I’m more surprised that ny N Koreans can afford pets.

North Korea is the bastard child of a one-night-stand between Mao and Stalin behind a dumpster.

If not for Fat Man and Little Boy, Japan may have shared the same fate.

Before you know it, the Left will require us to wear tie-dye and birkenstocks.

Many on the Right will submit*.

...said North Korea's standard language is superior and young people must use it...

If North Korea had a 'Facebook' (A Ministry of Truth) they would STOP the upstart young from speaking anything NOT State Approved.)

Very true. At least the northern half of Japan. All of Hokkaido at a minimum.
