well as you know north korea has been talking about testing nukes even though the rest of the world has urged them not to, i was talking to my parent about it and my first thought as to why kim jong ill (whatever the hell his name is) is doing this was that there was car keys in his anus, but now i think differently, i think that they've finally found out about the team america movie.

 

 

 

what are your thoughts on this.

My theory:

 

 

 

They now their country and government is crap. They know they are a failure because 1/3 of their country suffer from malnutrition. So they build nukes because they're too proud to admit their wrong doing. They (the gov't) want nukes for bargaining chips.

You say it as though the North Koreans have a choice in the matter.

 

 

 

It's Kim Jong Il and his government who want the bargaining chip, not the people themselves. Hell, if the people knew anything about the outside world besides what propaganda tells them, they'd have defected to South Korea ages ago.

 

 

 

It's the government that wants the bargaining chip of nuclear weapons because it's just so easy for every country around them to impose sanctions or hold back on the food aid.

Agreed.

Whats wrong with testing nuclear bombs?

 

 

 

They have every right to

I got in to say that.

 

Of course it's not a friendly attittude, but what if they don't want to be friends with the western world? They have the right to.

 

A country with another ideology isn't an annoying country, it's a different country.

 

North Koreans aren't evil, it's all a matter of perspective.

There trying to thretan the US, who by the way hold what is likly to be more than 1/2 of the woulds nulear arsenal, and Israel, who the support has the 6th most Nukes. North Korea is now demonstrating how a country whould go about geting the [wagon] blown right off :evil: . Most Korean (north) still belive that there country is activly fighting the Americans right now, even though the Korean war is over (although it might start up again). And the belive that we are the bad guys (the bad one never belive that there the bad guys because its all relitive)

Their leader (whatever his name is [who even cares]) would rather have a huge army and military might to invade... China(they'd get killed) or South Korea(their exact opposite in every way). But if North Korea attacked South Korea they would get their ...s kicked by all the other countries. So the only real thing they could accomplish is getting a larger army which they already have.

 

 

 

Even China is agreeing that North Korea needs to stop! China! the biggest communist threat in the world!

 

 

 

But as the "Daily Show" clearly states "its one less nuke to use on us!"

I think the US would beg to differ. ANd quite frankly, I'm not going to sleep as soundly if North Korea develops a Nuclear arsenal. NO DEMOCRATIC NATION HAS EVER WAGED WAR ON ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC NATION. So untill Korea is a democracy, they can stay the h*** away from nucular technologie.

My prespective - It's fairness when N. Korea has nukes, but it's sad knowing they have them.

 

 

 

N. Koreas prespective - America always has the nukes, its our turn.

 

 

 

If worse gets to worse... move to Canada?

I live in Canada, trust me were not all that happy with Korea up here in the north either.

Yeah, but if you live in Canada there is about a 10000% less chance of you getting nuked than if you lived in the US.

I live in Canada too. What I've seen is a neutral emotion about N. Korea..

NO DEMOCRATIC NATION HAS EVER WAGED WAR ON ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC NATION.

 

Vietnam War.

 

 

 

Even China is agreeing that North Korea needs to stop! China! the biggest communist threat in the world!

 

Oh, please. China now is about as communist as the USSR in 1924.

I live in Canada, trust me were not all that happy with Korea up here in the norht either.

 

 

 

Yep, and I agree with the sanctions imposed on N. Korea.

A lot of study has been put into this question, it is at least somewhat plausible.

I stand by what I said. The DRV was a democratic nation by dint of the ICP's base of popular support. Likewise, the RVN was technically a democratic nation, although that is debatable considering US actions surrounding Ngoh Dinh Diem and Nguyen Van Thieu.

 

 

 

Oh, wait, sorry. War was never declared on the DRV. My bad.

 

 

 

Also, that Wiki page's argument relies heavily upon the logical fallacy of correlation implying causation. Most functional democracies are formed during a period of stability when nobody would want to fight anyway.

North Korea isn't smart.

 

Since they tested another bomb Australia has stopped sending them beef and other foods.

 

Now whose gonna starve to death?

 

Not me

I think the U.S. is a far bigger threat to world peace and should be disarmed before they have any right to tell another country it cannot arm its self in a similar fashion

daN the US basically owns the world and besides its a pretty safe to say that the US isnt about to nuke someone.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

 

 

 

The US owns the world about as much as the Democratic Republic of the Congo does. Its economy is practically running on the goodwill of China and the rest of its trading partners, just like everyone else's. This is the 21st century, and we have something called the global economy. It's been around for some time.

 

 

 

The difference is that most other nations aren't in a huge cesspit of national debt.

The United States is the world MILITARY SUPERPOWER hand down! If the y go down Canada is going down with them (about 70% of the economy last time I checked). The US economy runs on war machines (I wont go into detail), if the y stop making them they go down. Plus the states can protect Canada what with are small army and all :) :

If America is the world military super power, they should prove it by invading China - the home of the worlds largest armed forces.
