Hmm, no 'Other' option..?
I mourn his passing for two reasons: a) His incredible sense of style. He was not afraid to wear the same khaki overalls for decades. Loved the Roy Orbison specs too. b) His contribution to the North Korean prog rock scene. His band 'Wistful Tyranny' were the only band in rock history, to actually shoot real people on stage. Blimey, not even Kiss or Alice done that! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I suspect it will be more of the same or worse. Interestingly, the articles talk of how North Koreans were taking to the streets mourning the death of their Dear Leader and how one newscaster reported his death with tears. I'm not sure if there is any truth to these things that have been reported or if it is just state sponsored propaganda. I imagine that there may actually be some citizens that are genuinely saddened by his death but with what we are told of what goes on in North Korea, that really is hard to imagine. -------------

In his death, the people of NK can, SLOWLY, start getting back to normalcy. While he was the big cheese, obviously he just lazed around while others did the work...and it's no secret that the Koreas hope to unify. Especially the North since they have been horribly impoverished since their dependence on other countries started drying up. First the USSR, then China, then the US/West....good thing they believe in the idea of Juche aka self dependence!!!! Between that and what we've seen with Stalin and Mao...even though tyranny will continue the new wave of power will slowly, very slowly, shed the cult of personality and work to integrate them into normal society. edit: Yes, not a slight on the people at all. People are the same regardless of location....we all are just trying to get through life, and make the best for ourselves and families. This will be a good thing for the country though, even if it takes quite a while. |

Their normalcy is what they know and since NK society is very closed, then what little they have and what they know of the rest of the world is only what they are told.

First of all; ProgArchives is banned from North Korea (and some other countries) because they regard you and the rest of us as fascists, repressive barbaric monsters and enemies. So our ability to causing offense in Northern Korea or to any exiles is zero, zilch, nill. I also don't think it is our/the Admins calling to respect & honour genocidal dictators while we on an industrial scale disrespect and mock democratic elected heads of states and those nationalities
who has elected them.

It has to be said that his supreme golfing skills will be missed. He holds the record for 36 under par and 11 holes in one in a row!! Tiger Wood eat your heart out! Luckily for those golfers out there he is such a great leader that he voluntarily retired after this feat so that others could have a chance to win golfing tournaments!

What? People in North Korea are not even permitted http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2011/04/north-korea-8217-s-digital-underground/8414/" rel="nofollow - to use the radio except for receiving official state broadcasts: if you read the article (which you should, it's very good), the government jams all other transmissions, although that doesn't stop people in Japan from trying. There is zero chance that anyone who manages to miraculously connect to the internet will log on to PA. Nor is there any chance that anyone outside of North Korea has the slightest amount of regard for the life of Kim Jong-il except for concern about the instability his death could cause.

Whether or not PA is available in NK is irrelevant. The fact is that there may well be members of the site who are upset by the news. We set an example here by being all inclusive, and showing respect for our fellow members regardless of nationality, creed, religion., etc.
By making fun of the situation, we simply bring ourselevs down to a level which we seek to belittle others for.

The point is we does that every day, every hour. We do hurt people's feelings every day, every hour in the Off Topic forum in our debates on liberatism, Ron John Paul, Obama, Sarkozy, Blair, Putin, Merkel, Berlusconi and Cameron. And that without any wagging fingers from the Admins. In fact, the Admins really approve of people's feelings being hurt by pretty nasty comments about democratic elected heads of state they have voted for themselves. I got that on record, btw. But you only comes trundling along with a wagging finger when a sarcastic poll about Kim Jong-Il is being posted. So it is OK to mock democratic elected heads of state and their many followers on PA (and drive them off this site), but it is very offensive to mock dictators responsible for hideous genocides, consentration camps and gross repressions of a people. That is what we read from your statement. |

Sorry. I was unprecise. So let me be precise and also answer a more recent post by TheProgtologist too. There has been some incidents of "you mock my political views so I am leaving this site" type of incidents over the last seven years here. All these huffing and puffing leavings has been applauded off the site by a certain admin.... and his applause has also been applauded by myself. A hell of a noise, btw. I think it is perfectly fine that the likes of Gingrich, Obama, Sarkozy, Merkel, Cameron, Perry and any other democratic elected politician get mocked in PA. Even those politicians I agree with deserves mocking here. This despite of me being offended too. But I deserve to be offended. None of those leaving PA was banned from PA. They became offended and left. Just like that. What I don't understand is that the same Admin who did nothing when the followers of Cameron, Obama & Co was so offended that they left PA suddenly ask us not to offend the followers of a murdering despot like Kim Jong-Il. That is double standards in my world. It also opens up a can of worms for the Admins with wide ranging implications. But I am sure Bob did the same type of mistake as I did the morning when I got one liter of orange juice all over my trousers because I opened the wretched packaging at the wrong end. Life is complicated when having to put some thinking into it. |

Indeed. I find it really weird how anyone can get so upset about someone who they never met. The amount of grief on show when Diana died was astounding and actually quite worrying. I realise some of those grieving had met her or had been affected by her in some way (by her charitable endeavours) but not all of them. It was very odd to me. The same for Michael Jackson. If one of my favourite musicians died tomorrow, I'd be upset. I wouldn't go to their funeral procession though. I would not grieve in public. I'd be upset for a short while and would play their albums for a week maybe but that would be it. If I was a good friend of them, that would be different though. -------------

I read an interesting article - many years ago - in a psychology journal, regarding the death of Diana, and the bizarre outpouring of public grief. The long and short of the article was not so much that people were grieving her death, but as soon as the suggestion was put out there by the media, that she was the 'peoples princess' and had a connection with the 'man on the street' the floodgates opened. At a time when cynicism of the royal fairly was probably at a peak, it's possible that the public show of grief would not have been so profound had it not been turned into a spectacle by the media. It's kind of ironic really, because the actual establishment hated her. In any case, she was a good women, unlike the inbred vampire family she married into. As for Jacko, he brought more joy to the world than any politican as far as I can see. I can more understand someone being very upset at the death of someone who made them happy, and gave them a soundtrack to their life, rather than some back stabbing psychopath in a suit, who had never done a days real work in his life. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I think this is a brilliant a well observed post. I feel exactly the same way about these appalling public displays of "grief", and those in the media poking fun at a clearly brainwashed population in N Korea should really look a little closer to home. BTW, as for offending people, i have to say that poking fun at political leaders (dead or alive) and placing their antics in a satirical or offensive box is actually a very healthy thing in a democracy. The day we start worrying about offending people by doing this would be a sad one indeed - actually, the start of the long road towards totalitarianism. ------------- Enhance your life.

Unclear on the Concept
The North Koreans called it a "cruise ship" and tried to establish a
business model to attract wealthy tourists from China, but to the New
York Times reporter on board in September, the 40-year-old boat was more
like a "tramp steamer" on which "vacationers" paid the equivalent of
$470 to "enjoy" five days and nights at sea. More than 200 people
boarded the "dim" and "musty" vessel, "sometimes eight to a room with
floor mattresses" and iffy bathrooms. The onboard "entertainment"
consisted not of shuffleboard but of "decks of cards" and karaoke.
Dinner "resembled a mess hall at an American Army base," but with
leftovers thrown overboard (even though some of it was blown back on
deck). The trip was capped, wrote the Times, by the boat's crashing into
the pier as it docked, knocking a corner of the structure "into a pile
of rubble." [New York Times, 9-13-2011] ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Do you want another terrible, ugly truth? I do am French (and I also like to butcher the English grammar, but let's say it's quite clean compared with my abilities to speak Spanish, Italian or Portuguese). |
