is it wrong for me to laugh WITH north korea?
when they say things like this?

"He (Bush) is a half-baked man in terms of morality and a philistine whom we can never deal with," KCNA cited the spokesman as saying.

"No one can expect to hear reasonable words from Bush, once a cowboy at a ranch in Texas. His remarks often stun audiences as they reveal his utter ignorance," the spokesman from Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said.

1. Probably
That government is really, really bad and a real threat. But, damn, it's hard not to enjoy that sort of incisive wit. :evilgrin:

2. You've got to wonder about the ones that may have been educated
outside of N. Korea and learned English. Some of the phrases are constructed well.

5. Hmmm...how about agreeing with some of their remarks
Edited on Sat Apr-30-05 11:14 AM by lady lib
without in any way agreeing with the regime that produced them. Keep in mind that North Korea has been unimaginably vicious to it's own people.
