Americans shouldn't go to a place infamous for taking hostages and then expect the U.S. government to bend over backwards and give in to demands by a totalitarian state. How many more times does this have to happen

god you're such a painful fucking dweeb Thomphouse. Your constant attempts at being some dispassionate, cynical 'middle ground' type on CE are amazingly lame and not convincing in the slightest.

The morally correct and humane thing to do would be to nuke NK for the peace of its people and for the protection of the rest of the world

Why would anyone go to North Korea?

And that's a sad story.
---

This was done as a way to send a message to Americans about how "powerful" North Korea is. The doctors are saying he has pretty much no chance of recovering at this point.

There was no botulism. They simply beat the shit out of him. X-Rays have revealed that his skull has suffered from EXTREME trauma. They put him in their prison, and the guards beat the shit out of him. They beat him so badly that they put the poor guy into a coma. All of this because he stole a poster?

You had to ruin a kid's life over a poster? No civilized country on the face of this planet would do something like this. These people are the scum of the earth and have been brain-washed by Kim Jong Un - a man, who is so petty, that he probably told them to do it directly. They kept him alive just so they could send him back as a vegetable. This is fate that is much worse than death. That is something a psychopath would do to the victim's family. Think about that.

Kim Jong Un is a fuckin psychopath. Let this be a lesson to anyone who wants to go over there: Don't. This is one of those countries you should NEVER, EVER visit. Stay out.

I fucking hate the term victim blaming. It implies judgment upon who was the victim without the accused's input

I don't like the victim blaming argument because it's an attempt to shut down any and all discussion about why the situation exists in the first place, what could have been done to prevent it and what might be done to resolve it. They're basically guilt tripping you into keeping quiet.

I remember that North Korea video of some live music performance and everybody in the crowd had synchronised clapping when it was finished. Individualism isn't North Korea's best aspect.

This is so sad, but you have to respect the rules of other countries when you visit them.

It's still messed up and barbaric for them to have done that. Of course, everyone should take heed of this and not repeat the same mistakes, but that does not justify the actions of NK.

I'm unhappy with the amount of people willing to dismiss a foreign government torturing an American student into a waking coma, likely permanently ruining his life, just because he shouldn't have been in DPRK.

Well we have innocent Americans dying in our jails, so I feel we might want to clean up that so we can have a leg to stand on.

p funny to think i had an alt banned for saying dreadlocks looked bad on white people once but repeatedly calling for mass genocide is cool

Advocating for genocide unironically

You need to learn what genocide means.

Imagine if millions of people get tortured everyday. All they are led to believe that it is right for Dear Leader, who brainwashes them to believe he is a god. Then imagine that these people will have kids, and their kids will have more kids, and future generations will be tortured with even more complex methods invented by dear leader's children. And there is literally no solution to stop this madness without an entire neighboring country, who are living peacefully, getting wiped off the face of the earth. And without an entire arsenal of nuclear fallout plaguing the atmosphere and cutting our planet's lifespan even further, all with the chance of igniting the possibility of WW3. And even if we freed the tortured souls of North Korea, they would kill themselves to defend dear leader's honor and more than likely cause an even greater instability to the Korean peninsula than we currently know.

Imagine that, and tell me how the humane thing to do isn't to put these poor souls out of their misery and start from scratch. Sorry that you're quick to dismiss what I'm saying as barbaric and evil, but that's the price of never having to use your brain to think logically for once in your adult life without resorting to plugging in your virgin ears from being triggered with emotions.

Shut the fuck up.

Lol yes the kanjo multi post meltdown. A true classic!

Start from scratch? Damn dude. I am glad we dont have leaders like that. Do you see what youre even asking? Do you know what you become? To kill indiscriminately as Judge jury executioner. You see that as humane? To cause the deaths of millions all to make the world better? Lets take look at whats happening here. Hmm...

Sounds like you may have something in common with the leadership in North Korea and extremists where they prefer action than allow perceived to be threats to humanity exist. Theres a method to all this madness, all this hostility afterall. Its a reflection of yourself. You let someone, some government thousands of miles away influence you. Hate is taught. Hate and animosity are a practice. Guess what, you demonstrate that hate. What does it take for you to take such measures in order to eradicate a nation. Theyve pushed your buttons to the brink of war. That nation is evil and has firepower to threaten the immediate surrounding countries. Your claims align with the claims that theres no place in this world for them yet, you have similar ends justify means and dismiss their claims that the west are poison and corrupted Just as North Korea and extremists believe. You are poisoned with this notion and ideal of your side being the just side of the world as they are. Its scary that their way of hatred has compromised your way of thoughts on how to deal with that side of the world. To defeat a monster you become that monster or worse.

Some of us here may agree with your methods. All the spread of animosity and hate just needs an introduction of indoctrination. That a nation deserves it, theres no place in the world for that. Something needs to be done. Justifying genocide like that makes you different sides of the same coin now. Which is more evil is a coin toss. one day the hate and animosity you spread flourishes and thrives into the future and its gonna return a thousands worse than you can imagine.

I'm probably going to get modded for this bit fuck you sandman. What you are saying is sick, and the same as a Nazi. I hope someone sees your post and investigates you for psychosis.

Funny you call me a nazi when I'm fucking jewish, you pos.

I don't care what ethnicity or religion you are, if you advocate the eradication of a group of people solely because of their race, religion, or nationality, then yes, you are no better than a nazi. And adding to that, you say killing all the North Koeans would be for the betterment of the world? Well the Nazis believed killing the Jews would be for the betterment of mankind too. That didn't stop the idea from being thoroughly fucked up and wrong. Just something to think about.

Your explanation is bull shit. I know you think you're being funny and "epic troll!" But the fact that your idea of a joke is "we should kill the entire nation! It's humane and for their own good" is weird, man.

It's depressing that you think someone would joke/troll about genocide.

I was thinking you might be trolling because your original post advocates for the deliberate elimination of a specific nationality of people living in a specific area, yet you claim that's not genocide. That is basically the textbook definition of genocide. You don't have to take our word for it. You can easily look it up. Aside from that, you're claiming these people can not adapt to a different life, if given the chance. That they're too brainwashed. You even said:

You could never attempt to convince them they were wrong the whole time.

But that can't be true, considering how certain defectors from North Korea have peacefully assimilated into South Korea. Here's a nice little video of former North Koreans enjoying Western-style barbecue:

lol not every single North Korean believes Kim is a god. They may act like it in public out of fear of prosecution but within their household they don't give a fuck. South Korean activists have been sneaking in foreign movies, Tv series and documentaries into North Korea. The North Koreans are risking their lives just for a glimpse of these foreign films so obviously they don't believe or follow everything Kim says.

There's also the increasing resistance regime against Kim as many North Korean higher ups find him to be incompetent. I don't think that really matters in the face of totalitarian power but it does show that North Korea is beginning to divide itself.

What was he doing in North Korea in the first place. There's already 3 other americans in jail in NK as far as I know. That correspond to americans visiting Raqqa voluntary and expecting to get away with it. lol
