Reply #28: No one has said North Korea is a "wonderful paradise"

Those are your words. Judging by your posts on this thread you have already swallowed this story hook line and sinker. The skeptics are merely saying one should exercise caution when interpreting an article such as this one.

Do not allow the corporate media to manipulate you emotionally. Do not allow them to define your world view. This is how they (the corporate political power nexus) manufacture consent for their filthy wars and slaughter, by appealing to tribal instincts such as racist fear and contempt. Nothing whips up the fear and loathing of another nation of people quite like the claim that they systematically murder the weaker members of their society.

This story may very well turn out to be true but it just has the ring of primitive propaganda. I have known many people from all over Asia including Koreans and I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
