It should probably be pointed out that this whole conversation would be impossible in North Korea. In fact it would carry a death penalty, most likely a public execution. There is NO freedom of speech in North Korea, any criticism of the regime is a political crime and the best you could hope for would be a long term stay in a re-education camp. There is also no freedom of religion. Any unauthorized religious activity is a political crime. There is no freedom of the press. ALL television and radio sets are distributed by the state and are only capable of receiving media that is produced by the state. Attempting to alter a tv or radio set to receive foreign media is... you guessed it, a political crime. There is no freedom of movement. You can't even move around the country let alone leave it. Only top political figures can own a car and even then the petrol is doled out by the state as the country is constantly in short supply of ALL resources. The 1990's famine which was directly caused by the policies of the regime cost 1 million lives. NK is the ONLY country to suffer a famine since industrialisation. It's true that the fish rots from the head first.
This is from the Office of The United Nations High Commissioner For Human Rights:
"Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, public executions, extra judicial and arbitrary detention, the absence of due process and the rule of law, imposition of the death penalty for political reasons, the existence of a large number of prison camps and the extensive use of forced labour;Sanctions on citizens of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea who have been repatriated from abroad, such as treating their departure as treason leading to punishments of internment, torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or the death penalty;
All-pervasive and severe restrictions on the freedoms of thought, conscience, religion, opinion and expression, peaceful assembly and association and on access of everyone to information, and limitations imposed on every person who wishes to move freely within the country and travel abroad;
Continued violation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of women, in particular the trafficking of women for prostitution or forced marriage, ethnically motivated forced abortions, including by labour inducing injection or natural delivery, as well as infanticide of children of repatriated mothers, including in police detention centres and labour training camps."
Human rights don't exist in NK, yet we in the west defend the very people torturing, killing and denying these rights to their own people en masse and criticise our own governments in the same breath. People accusing the west of 'raping the world' from the comfort of their computers ought to step back to appreciate the irony in their own statements. Unless you're comfortable with a regime like this having nuclear weapons that they are openly threatening to use then make no mistake, The regime in North Korea ARE THE BAD GUYS.
