World in Trouble

um..Does anybody still know that N Korea and S Korea are still at war? .....No?

2 years ago #9414772          

@CharlesXI Technically they are still at war, but they officially agreed on taking a break, too. So... not really.

2 years ago #9417723          

@Jch Yes but that doesn't take away the fact that they're still at war ;)
Although the made a partial agreement of peace they can still send offences.

2 years ago #9424287          

@Jch Well we ARE still at war... we just are taking a 'short' break because too many people were dying and we weren't winning, either side of us.

2 years ago #9421081          

@CharlesXI We are. We just signed a treaty because too many people were dying and neither of us were winning. And... really, the Cold War is to be blamed when it comes to the question: "Why are we still split?"

So far, Korea is the only country that is still split up.

@Lumoseo It's been so long since i visited the website i forgot what we were talking about. :|

@CharlesXI XD your question was: "um..Does anybody still know that N Korea and S Korea are still at war? .....No?"
So I answered it like that.

@Lumoseo
Ah right. Yes, i've gathered more info on that subject as i was studying the cold war and the Korean war after i posted that.

@CharlesXI Yep! I'm glad! That's awesome! I mean, it's always nice to know about History, no?

2 years ago #9441043          

@Lumoseo Yeah, it's good to know at least some context.

'@Lumoseo'
Cyprus, Georgia, Moldova, Somalia, Azerbaijan all beg to differ on Korea being the last split country.
As does China (and some Taiwanese), and Serbia if you ask them.
Cyprus especially is incredibly reminiscent of Korea with a fairly even split into a "South" government and a "North" government. They even feature the old German curse of a split capital city.

Of course most of those examples are ethnic or provincial separatist movements that have some degree of success and subsequent refusal of recognition from the central government, rather than two different governments competing for full control of a country like in Korea.
But the whole Taiwan situation is basically like an incredibly comically lopsided version of the Korean conflict.
Like in Korea the two rival governments control more or less 50/50 of the contested land.
In China, the two rivals governments are um....well one government controls....China in its vast wholeness. And the other one controls the island of Taiwan and a few little doodads near it.
Like if North Korea had pushed the South Korean government into only controlling Jeju.

Make kimchi not war, guys!

1 year ago #9508765          

@satwnhetafangirl North Korea doesn't have the ingredients to make Kimchi, so they make... war? XD

1 year ago #9509179          

@Lumoseo Make, what-ever-north-koreans-make, not war guys!

Yeah you're right. Most of their money gets wasted by the leader.

1 year ago #9509406          

@satwnhetafangirl Yeah... it's really surprising that they haven't fallen yet. I really don't know what they are surviving upon.

1 year ago #9509466          

@Lumoseo They actually have money, but it all stop at the leader.

1 year ago #9509650          

@satwnhetafangirl Yeah, think of all the donations they get... but they used those money to build a SKI RESORT once. COME ON, their people are starving and dying and they build a SKI RESORT. -_- That's why I really hate the Kim Dynasty.

1 year ago #9509665          

@Lumoseo Kim Jong-un has 4 billion dollars, his dad had 3. But their people are starving. Dude, if you can't rule a country right, just let it go!

1 year ago #9509667          

@satwnhetafangirl I KNOWW

Guess what? Another person just escaped from North Korea. And this is important because usually the people escaping from North Korea are the ones who are poor/starving, but this particular person is someone who had an important position there, which means that he wasn't poor or anything but he escaped anyway.

Even the high officials know that Kim Jong Un is a dictator.

@Lumoseo But strangely marijuana isn't illegal there. Maybe it's because he smokes it? (Cause when I see his photos his eyes look sorta red)

1 year ago #9509781          

@satwnhetafangirl Meh, Kim is quite unhealthy without the marijuana already, I'm just hoping he dies soon so that North Korea is left without a ruler XD

@Lumoseo Does he have a wife/kid? Besides, he still has siblings.

1 year ago #9510918          

@satwnhetafangirl The siblings weren't able to be leader because they were too close to the Foreigns or something. That's why Kim became leader even if he was the last kid.

He does have a wife and a child, but the child is very young, like three or something(I wonder how it's like to have a cruel Nuke- crazy guy as a daddy...)

@Lumoseo He's crazy alright! No sane person would throw their uncle naked into a cage of hungry dogs...hope he doesn't do that to his wife and kid.

@satwnhetafangirl They eat Kimchi in South Korea. In North Korea they eat other people. Because there's nothing else to eat. Because North Korea's been in a famine ever since the USSR fell. Because The Kim Dynasty hordes all the resources and force everyone else to live in a dystopian nightmare.

I don't think North Korea will fall on it's own. I think intervention is necessary; an all-out invasion, a UN Peacekeeping Mission ... something. Just anything other than sitting around and waiting for the butchery to run it's course (a tactic that NEVER WORKS).

Question for Danes: Why is snow ever newsworthy there?

1 year ago #9510315          

@epic-pineapple-power We actually don't get very much snow anymore. Sadly..

11 months ago #9523687          

@ProudToBeDanish That's probably because over here we're driving cars that run on dino-tears when we have ones that can run on electricity (which can come from the Sun).

... sorry for wrecking the world guys (or at least for partially wrecking the world ... China and India are also pretty bad in that respect).

@PaxRomana I was actually shocked about the air quality when I visited LA. I could taste the fumes in my mouth! And I'm a smoker goddamnit! I shouldn't be able to differentiate between two kinds of outdoor air.

@Barracuda LA is kind of (in)famous for bad air quality and bad traffic.
