As for fences, the border in America is about 12 times longer and Korea has lot of mountains that would make it difficult to cross over. And I definitely agree with you that a reunification now would have problem for the South, so I been calling for gradual reunification

Keeping only the DMZ up is enough. Any floods into PRC would mean massacre, and with ROK sending food, why move to the unknown outside? |

Mandatory mourners are mandatory.
EDIT: Scratch that. On second thought these people believed in Kim Il enough that those are probably real tears without having to be told to whip up some tears or else. Endless "Mandatory" Soul

Not madness, that is the perfect example of how the media can indoctrinate people to believe almost anything. Mr Kim was portrait as an almost divine figure by schools, news papers, radio and TV. When Kim's father died it was even worse than what you see now.
Please don't laugh at those poor people, for we are just as indoctrinated as they are. We talk about freedom as if we actually had any, but in really our freedoms are just an illusion of a limited set of choices given by the system and showcased as opportunities. We all hate the word "socialism", and we all worship money. Don't even get me started on religion, it is so easy to compare it to media indoctrination that lines that separate them are almost invisible. These are all forms of control, I wish my signature was actually applied throughout the world. We need to develop our critical thinking.

Otherwise, your post is right on. Those people crying is creepy, they're acting like one of their own parents died. I'm still wondering how people can be so effectively brainwashed that the military full of conscripts does not rebel.

As much as it is convenient to blame the government and its parts for this malfunction, the people are part of that system. Therefore, we take some of the blame for putting douschebags into office. So thankfully, we have ways to rectify this problem. Thanks to the First Amendment and the value of rights, it is hard to imagine America going so far to be like North Korea.

The sectarian war that everyone could see bursting out once the US left is almost about to begin:

Okay, you've got me there...the book I read mentioned one woman faking her tears, who later defected, but given that so many people were driven to do so (or run away to China), it's probable that many of them also had to fake their tears when the Eternal Leader died. Add to that those people who simply don't have a habit of crying, and you'd have a large number already.

One thing that is undeniable: Almost everyone of the average people loved or at least respected Kim Il Sung, even with all his faults. Unbelievable to most, but the truth nevertheless. |

But nah, "almost bankrupted" us is too much. It only cost lots of years of transfer payments and a rise of ~20% national debt relative to GNP. Painful for a while, but manageable. Quote:

To be honest, it's kind of difficult as any opinion given by a figure of authority could act as a attempt to indoctrination . The way would be to give only informations, but even that could work as you just have to choose what information to give to the students.

I was actually being sarcastic. Even an education system that teaches critical thinking and not trusting the media would still be instilling the belief that nothing the media presents can be trusted (with the result that nobody will bother staying up to date on current events since the news would not be believed).
