I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means. -Clarence Darrow

Apparently , the new kid on the block, Kim Jong Un, is smart enough to realize that opening up North Korea's markets is desperately needed, as he has hired German economists to advise the NK government on how to do so. What do you guys think will come of this?

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Probably the smartest decision the regime has made in quite a long time.

This simple act of economic openness will push them towards a path similar to China.

Are you seriously going to argue that the North Korean government isn't a corrupt, fascist, state?

Well, this is certainly an interesting turn of event.

"The military in North Korea," he told the paper, "will not want to give up power." He added that it is by no means clear whether Kim's reform efforts will be able to overcome military resistance.
Of course this won't be easy but I hope it will get through

The people are so devoted to the Great Leader that they literally do not know how to question his judgement.

  • 01.05.2013 1:28 AM PDT

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Good on him!

Maybe North Korea will become a nice place to live in the future!

Do you really think it's devotion? I've always assumed it was fear.

At this point there is fear guiding them, but if you watch some of the documentaries it's really shocking how devoted they are to their leader.
