Don't condemn the entire country for the actions of one man.

Excuse me. I meant government.

Not sure if it was just one man on this one though.

Can't we just carpet bomb Pyongyang and be done with it? Fuck.

Are you FUCKING retarded. Carpet-bombing would just mean burning to death people who had already drawn the short stick in life. Do you have no humanity?

EDIT: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...FIFA needs to do something. Anything.

It's on the Guardian website, where the building site story is attributed to Radio Free Asia.

Are they suggesting Fabio Capello should be in a labour camp?

If the British tabloids are anything to go by, the players aren't allowed to go on holiday during their summer break and must sit penitently in darkened rooms until the season starts, flagellating themselves. One of them was actually complaining that some of them were out partying like two weeks after the World Cup ended.

Hell, my dad forwarded me a chain email saying that the whole England team should be made to donate a week's wages to a charity for wounded servicemen, comparing the picture of them coming off the plane from South Africa to one of a coffin from Afghanistan being offloaded. I was speechless. First time I've ever used the 'reply all' button was to (a) call everyone involved an idiot and (b) point out that England players already donate their pay from international duty to charity.
 
If only it was possible to assassinate every single high-ranking official all at once. Then we can bombard the population with propaganda pamphlets and iPods to win them over.
 
Only two players avoided the inquisition - Japanese-born pair Jong Tae-Se and An Yong-Hak - who escaped by flying straight to Japan from South Korea after the tournament.

This is so misleading. These guys aren't even North Korean citizens. They just choose to represent N. Korea due to their heritage. They don't need to escape from anything.
 
It sucks if this is true, but god damn that article was painful to read. I had to stop reading about 25% in. I can only take so much ALL CAPS and ridiculous sensationalist bullshit.

So, now he'll be forced to work at a labour camp, and I have my suspicions of his family being off the hook entirely with his return. Better to defect, and tell the world the conditions of the country?
 
What makes me feel bad about NK is that it's a country that can be effectively helped. Unlike most African and middle eastern countries, they neither have religious fanaticism nor tribal rivalries going on, so it'd be much more easier to help them.

And FIFA will punish them (I hope it's a ban). They don't accept political interference in the national teams, at least that's what their statute says.

I don't have the link at hand, but in the official NK thread there was a presentation by an American professor who lives in Busan.. And his theory was that our image of North Koreans as being "held at gunpoint" behind the border is wrong. They like it there in some sense. And why wouldn't they? To them that is just Korea, their land, and the DPRK is the legitimate heir to the whole penninsula.. They are under the protection of a loving father (actually a motherly figure says he) who protects them from the cruel imposition of America, Japan, etc. You'll notice that the northern border is relatively unsecured, as the population chooses to stay, in some sense.

So that may be why they don't rebel.

Kinda wierd.. Since we in the west tend to think of NK as a kind of false Korea.. Some sort of foreign communist experiment imposed on the poor hapless people who live there, maintained with military strength.. It's strange to think of it as a legitimate extension of the Korean nation (at least as legitimate as the South anyway).

Ignorance is bliss.
 
Fuck the FIFA!

Fuck them for even allowing NK to play. Teams playing against NK should have protested and refused to play.

They better never been allowed to play again until the democracy is in NK.

Except that is all bullshit and anyone with an ounce of intellect knows the North Korean people don't protest cause THEY CAN'T AND DON'T KNOW BETTER.
 
No, the NK people are not happy. Thousands of defectors reach South Korea each year now, and they tell stories of anything but happiness. Sometimes rage. The thing is, many think that their poverty and suffering is brought by USA and South Korea, not their leaders. But at the same time, the defectors DO tell that more and more people are unhappy with the leaders. Kim Il-Sung, well he was a god image, but Kim Jong-il is just a fat boss to most people. But most don't DARE say that, even to wives, because the tattle tale culture is so extreme McCarthy would've salivated at the thought. In the Universities, a third of the students or something are actually spies, looking for unhealthy opinions and activities.

Heaven and earth shake
With the resounding cheers
Of all the people
United in praising him

Pushing away the fierce cyclone,
Marshal Kim Jong-il gave us faith.

Without You there is no us,
Without You there is no country.

Takes care of our future and our hopes,
Our nation's fate: Marshal Kim Jong-il.

Even though the world is overturned a hundred times,
Still the people believe in Marshal Kim Jong-il
