Nice one Mojo... I just hope history don't repeat itself over again, were a certain country spend loads of resources on training up "militia" only to "leve em hangin" later on and get them as enemies.

Looks like the RS Osprey doesn't care about civilians as much as they claim to do.

Oh, I'll have to get hold of that. Looks interesting. Future dystopia is a fun discussion as our oceans show signs of souring, we fish species to extinction, erode the soild and waste oil as drunks.

Oh well. Good to live in the kuwait of europe with lots of money to buy farmland in Africa. We'll just have to keep our borders clear of scots

Strange country. Those kids at the end ran on Battries yeah ?

very interesting, sweeper. it just happened that today i visited an (controversial) exhibition on north korean art in vienna. of course, the main background of the water color and oil paintings is propaganda, it is very reminiscent of nazi/communist art/propaganda.

strangely, the BBC documentary somehow felt over the top and constructed a bit, it just couldn't make it's point for me. i mean Sue Lloyd-Roberts constantly tried to find something bad about this country, but most of the things were not that bad?! some of the remarks even sounded silly like the comments about north korea being a manifestation of an orwellian future - lol, that coming from UK (or US) people is quite ironic.
and how many other countries have starvation, under-developed economy/industry/technology? At least the majority of these people is made to believe they live in a great country, and that's what really makes it great for them (or maybe at least more endurable?)...
also the thing about Kim Il Sung (deceased leader), i am sure the people there don't think he is physically alive, he is "alive" in the sense that his actions and thoughts carry on to influence the population. how many western people think there is a god?...

on the other side, i don't know what the real situation is there, the documentary seemed fake & hypocritical though.

edit:
watching the second film proves a better point.

Yeah. Human rights should not be promoted anywhere as long as the people is led to believe that they live a good life! Let's use that recipe in Gaza and Darfur too. Spew them full of propaganda and disallow any contact with the world around. That will give all those malnourished, tortured and killed some joy!

For the N. Koreans I'm sure the famine of 97 was a real party:
"In 2006, Amnesty International reported that a national nutrition survey conducted by the North Korean government, the World Food Programme, and UNICEF found that 7% of children were severely malnourished; 37% were chronically malnourished; 23.4% were underweight; and one in three mothers was malnourished and anaemic as the result of the lingering effect of the famine. The inflation caused by some of the 2002 economic reforms, including the Songun or "Military-first" policy, was cited for creating the increased price of basic foods.

In the 1990s North Korea faced significant economic disruptions, including a series of natural disasters, economic mismanagement and serious resource shortages after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. These resulted in a shortfall of staple grain output of more than 1 million tons from what the country needs to meet internationally accepted minimum dietary requirements.[109] The North Korean famine known as "Arduous March" resulted in the deaths of between 300,000 and 800,000 North Koreans per year during the three year famine, peaking in 1997, with 2.0 million total being "the highest possible estimate."[110] The deaths were most likely caused by famine-related illnesses such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and diarrhea rather than starvation.[110]

But lets not jugde as long as they have propaganda that tells them that life is great.

I'm sure that the people of N. Korea are always allowed so say what they think. That's surely the reason every visitor to the country has someone following them all the time. Regarding the UK, US etc: you're at least allowed to voice you opinion and live a pretty free life.

If you don't see something wrong with a country that has a leader that gorges in fine cognac, opens his own italian restaurant (with authentic italian durum wheat imported, and chefs teached in italy) while his country starves... well, I don't know.
