I think for us the girls (and the boys for that matter) on the hair style posters. Are not off topic. But rather off limit to us mere ACC members

If you go to DPRK anytime hairstyles will be your least worries.
At first hard labour, then the dating.
And, there is no foreign workers or students program and no north Korean green card.

 

Nononono. You got me wrong. If I believed your comment was political I would have said it clearly and done something about it. I 'm not afraid to say what I believe.

Your comment just reminded me of some recent threads gone bad and I felt like putting that reminder there to save this one.

I hope I didn't cause you too much frustration. Sorry for not explaining myself thoroughly.

Are you afraid to say what you believe when you aren't a moderator? Ie. IRL?

 

I don't have a different internet and IRL personas.

Then you are truly one of a kind. Though I can hope that my friend, loosewire, is the same.

 

I like the Fonz! or #7

 

Same concept as everybody in boot camp getting the same buzz cut. Takes away a large sign of "individuality".

It's all about control, always.

Actually Marijuana is legal in DPRK, believe it or not. People are both allowed to grow it and to smoke it.

Only after work of course.

In socialism individualism is not the big question, but work is the big question. Everybody is expected to work.

Show business and service jobs do exist, but much less. It is not original work.

In north Korean supermarket you don't find large shelves with woman's interest magazines. So called individualism? These magazines erase any individualism or creativity. If it is not found in these magazines, for the women at home who read these magazines, it does not exist.

Most examples of so-called individualism which indeed can be found in western countries, are not desireable.

Having sent him something thru customs I can verifiy Geo's not joking.

This one really made me laugh. I can only imagine what it looks like.

Growing Marijuana as much as you like no legal oppression. Smoke it even.

Guarantee for work + housing.

Beaches free of...people you may consider disturbing.

If they think about themselves "My country is the best" they are not so far off.

Of course for people who don't like actual work it must be hell.

Can't run a good old capitalist business increasing profits 10x or 20x with no actual value added.

Face reality- they or the soviets actually did not invent the microcomputer. Or the internet.

But- they even manufacture their own laptops now.

I find it quite interesting that Marijuana is legal in DPRK.

No sex portals on the internet either.

Take a look the Microelectronics world in 1977. It was a small world.

What if you turn back the time, and Bill Gates and/or IBM would NOT have decided to mass produce the IBM PC?

We would still be spellbound to Commodore, at best.

It is often only really a very few people, later on you figure out they made history.

It's common in countries with essentially dictators. It keeps the odds of uprisings to a minimum. "A Stoned Prole is a Happy Prole". See "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and big a part "Soma" plays.

"Two thousand pharmacologists and bio-chemists were subsidized in A.F. 178."
"He does look glum," said the Assistant Predestinator, pointing at Bernard Marx.
"Six years later Soma was being produced commercially. The perfect drug."
"Euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly hallucinant."
"Glum, Marx, glum." The clap on the shoulder made him start, look up. It was that brute Henry Foster. "What you need is a gramme of soma."
"All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects."

 

My only issue in N.Korea is the massive amount of lack of healthcare or food. They did a study from when Korea split on the 50's. Since they have been seperated for 60 years the averages S. Korean is like 5'11 the average N Korean is like 5'2. and their weights were way off. South weighing in with normal body fat and 160lb, North with no body fat weighing in at like 105lb. Research it, its aboslutely amazing what 60 years of oppression and lack of nutrients can do.

Everyone with a commador wanted my Apple.

Proletarians exist everywhere in each country. Here in the west they maintain content on sex portals. Millions of people involved into this. They all must live among us- so we figured out by means of the internet.

Church and teachers have actually lied to us.

If you want to understand Marx then you must consider England 19th century. Think the diseases spreading through the water system in London. Or the child labour. Marx was a reaction to that.

Huxley was from England too I think.

The Koreans did not invent Marx or his doctrines. Neither they did live in primitive huts like people in Africa before of that.

My guess is they are only using it currently because it suits them. It is only marginally Socialism.

Or take the japanese economy which can not develope properly because it was so much adjusted from the outside after WW2- and then it ended somewhere in the middle 1980s.

The difference is Koreans actually did not loose the war. Never had to implement foreign policy.

If you think they were Negros in primitive huts and then Marx arrived, and they obey the teachings blindly- you do not understand much about it.

And think of the cultural enthusiasts who one day are gassed inside the British Museum and stuff like that.

I guess if you from one day to the other dress up like a woman (in DPRK), this won't be a long consideration or complicate descision making process.

What if you don't do what is expected from you in our world? No matter how absurd? Remember the teachers who decided not to use electronic calculators. Absolute power. Any option not to obey this?

Maybe you won't be gassed, that's correct, but you will be dismissed and end up as an outcast, at best.

 

Images like this always amaze me about N. Korea. At least it is a great place for viewing stars.

 

OMG. 99% of N. Korea doesn't have electricity?!
