Well, from what the World Affairs class I took in my senior year in high school taught me, people don't know shit about world geography, they couldn't even place all the states in America on a map.
Thats the thing, I can get just not knowing, but being so aggressively ignorant, why would you want to LOOK stupid as well as be STUPID.
We may end up missing the dude. To his credit he didn't do anything stupid internationally without eventually backing off a bit. We can only hope his son has sense and no real drive to surpass his father.
Because man, that could really fuck up a ton of stuff.
No he actually did a lot of stupid shit
Like all the time
Yes, but he was a known quantity and brought a measure of stability in his dealings and actions. He played a weird sort of brinkmanship, but it was still brinkmanship.
This makes more sense
Though it has been my understanding that Kim Jong Il's actions showed he was deliberately trying to provoke incidents to start a war
South Korea just wasn't having it
As for now
I truly believe thing will get better one way or another
They just might get substantially worse before then

Eric Clapton was good at one point though, so I won't deduct sanity points from him for that.

I recently read this set of incredibly depressing and possibly exaggerated or fabricated set of interviews with a former guard, I think, from a facility where NK housed their political prisoners.
I think I need to find it after I get home from work.

Here's Chrome's translation of one paragraph:
In 2001, Kim and a bunch of wearing Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton backpack carrying entourage trying to Tokyo Disneyland in Japan's Narita airport when arrested. Kim tried to use a forged Dominican Republic passport landing in Japan, the name on the passport, "fat bear" is a Chinese name. Subsequent investigation confirmed that this is not the first time he secretly entered Japan. Obviously the second half of 2000 he entered Japan at least three times. A Tokyo high-level club waitress remember where he had many times to enjoy the $ 350 / hour service, she remembers Kim's back like a dragon tattoo - tattoo taboo is the Confucian society, because such behavior is considered the destruction of the body. Today in South Korea, tattooed men are often considered members of criminal organizations.

I am prepared to call this a net positive
Besides the fact that this guy was a big league asshole
It has been my understanding that the situation as it was, was untenable
So any change is for the better
Even if things get worse those things getting worse can be the catalyst for things getting better
At least that's my two cents
So Colin Quinn decided to take the meta-route for jokes about this.
I'm not going to joke about anybody dying!!! Kim Jong Il or Bin Laden. Who are we to judge who's good or evil? #benefitofthedoubt
And people are flipping their shit, missing it.
i don't get it
It's a dumb joke built around shock factor on fake holier-than-thou stuff. But instead of telling him the joke is dumb, people are mad at him as if it was a serious statement.

I think I need to find it after I get home from work.
he saw miles upon miles of barren wasteland where farmland used to be, people so desperate for food they eat dirt and tree roots.

fuckin
goddamn
Look, Sweeney's just excitable by nature and then his mommy let him have too much juice with dinner so he's ally hyper on sugar right now.
i don't get it
He saw people actually rebelling against the government, like people attacking barracks and checkpoints and stuff like that.
Or have tattoos
I'd be in jail otherwise
Also, holy shit $350/hour service

Sudden death on Christmas, or New Year's Eve?
I say Christmas, because so far Osama and Jong Il have been announced dead on a Sunday night, and Christmas is next Sunday

Maybe he'll pull a Hitler.
Edit - WAIT I just realized this could mean a ton of bad shit. I mean kill himself!
well then let me say
that "joke" is dumb
Good thing you edited that

Ahmadinejad doesn't matter at all what the fuck are you people on about?
I'm having trouble finding, if I stumble upon it at some point I'll shoot you a link.
