The Slave State of North Korea

As some of you know, North Korea is, as Christopher Hitchens called it, a slave-state. The image above depicts the curfew that all North Koreans must abide by. All lights go off at curfew time.

It's a real shame that nothing is being done about this. Thousands are dying from famine and state executions. Unlike slaves that we used to have, these guys aren't even being fed.

well, look at it this way. They are fighting global warming at a greater rate then any western nation and conserving power.THE_PREZIDENT

... You honestly think organizations like the United States government cares about things like this? We have supported regimes like that in the past and still do in some forms.. Furthermore, worse thigns have happened and nothing has done.. case in point: Rwanda genocide.sSubZerOo

It's this, "what can I do" mentality that is preventing any real change from happening. It's a very unbecoming attitude to hold. Also, because there have been worse things in the past, there is also the more reason to prevent these things from happening again in the future.

After the Holocaust, we as a people said, "never again." And yet it has happened again. Look at the Cambodian Genocide, Rwandan Genocide, Dar Fur, and now this.

I can see my house from there!Infinite-Zr0

I could earlier but now the lights are out.

Well guess what the world doesn't work that way..sSubZerOo

Pray tell where this first hand experience comes from.

Countries like the United States who people some how think they act like the "world police" is just another private organization looking for whats in THEIR best interests first and always.sSubZerOo

I've always been of the opinion that countries should work together to support issues that are detrimental to the well-being of humankind.

IDK how bout you start reading into the foriegn policy of the United States for the PAST 60 years.... Alot of horrible things happen through out the world, people fail to realize half the time for instance why the people in the Middle East are pissed at the west, for instance.sSubZerOo

What does this have to do with supporting or not supporting an effort into ending the holocaust happening in North Korea? What there needs to be is united effort on the part of all western nations.
