Or is it just that he's the one guy in North Korea with internet access?

It's called having it both ways. Forbid knowledge then talk as if you have any. 121160@blogcritics.org Tue, 22 Feb 2005 00:09:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/20/182613.php#comment-100669 I wrote that a year ago out of boredom, tongue in cheek. i have no special anti american feelings or anti anyone feelings, just was a bit fed up that they appear to have military bases in more than 20 countries. apparently nobody on earth can say or do anyhting right except them. still, it didnt bother me that much until...i recently went to the beautiful wilds of Iceland. everything was blissfully perfect until lo and behold but what shoud i stumble across but an american accent, nay 20 yank accents walking down the street. it wasnt so much their accents, it was what 1 of them was saying....this is the gist of what i heard: "that's economics for you isnt it!?supply&demand!" Let me tell yu pal, when this breaks the tranquility of the arctic circle, that is a crime worse than a hundred 7/11's rolled into 1. I reiterate what i said a year ago: long live kim jong 11, name me 1 worthy thing that ever came out of the USA! Dont even begin with F Scott Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, Keurac these people criticized everything america stood and stand for. Name me some1 that trumpets america and is respected anywhere on this planet. you cant, because there is nothing of any substance at all. 100669@blogcritics.org Sat, 27 Nov 2004 18:05:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/20/182613.php#comment-81055 ". . . starves millions of his own people to death . . ." Which is why he doubled food production and solved the problem of the famine? The famine, by the way, was caused be sanctions manipulated by the US, and natural disasters, among the worst in that country's history. South Korea also suffered from the famine, but unlike the DPRK it received aid automatically because it was a capitalist country. The DPRK, further, owing to its geographic position, can only produce food during one season of the year, and this is when the famine hit. And north Korea is most certainly not a police state. I would suggest reading this: http://www.nlg.org/programs/international/North_Korean_Delegation_Report2003.pdf Leader Kim Jong Il is a very good author. 81055@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Aug 2004 08:22:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/20/182613.php#comment-24342 Yes, surely the world would be a better place if Americans stopped writing, making movies and music etc, and left that up to visionaries like Kim Jong Il. I look forward to the unclogging. 24342@blogcritics.org Tue, 21 Oct 2003 08:07:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/20/182613.php#comment-24327 Kim Jong's books are pretty good, but I'm more of a Hoxhna man myself, especially his "The Titoites," a searing work of historical brilliance. Nice pictures, too. 24327@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Oct 2003 23:55:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/20/182613.php#comment-24322 whatever Kim wrote, it is still a thousand times better than anything that has come out of a*erica in the past 50 years. your culture is clogging up the world buddy. stop inflicting your arrogant crap on the world. up yours 24322@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Oct 2003 22:58:32 EDT
