In a nation where Kleenex may be too expensive for the masses, North Koreans are reportedly being sent to labour camps for failing to cry during the official mourning period for Kim Jong-Il.

The North Korean government appears to have completed "criticism sessions" which allow neighbours and co-workers to identify people who didn't cry, or at least didn't appear genuine in shedding tears.

The minimum sentence for failing to mourn according to the script is six months in a labour camp. Given that life in North Korean society isn't much fun, it's a good bet that the country's labour camps are a nasty bit of work.

Some people in this country who consider themselves intellectuals will tell you communism is a more just system than capitalism.
Everyone is equal you see.
Some more than others.

Communism isn't a bad idea, in theory. In praxis it doesn't work because people are involved and 80% of the people are 100% idiots.

You'd think they could force up some fake tears, or even real ones by just thinking about their dreary life, rather than for their ultimate fearless all-powerful leader for all of eternity that crushes the american fools with his little but mighty finger.

When I read the title, I was sure this was going to be satire.

Wtf, are they doing some sort of weird performance art over there, in the form of being the most pointlessly and arbitrarily oppressive government on the planet? This just seems so fucking pointless, to lock people up for not crying enough? Are they TRYING to drive their populace towards the revolution tipping point?

You sound like such an idiot whenever you talk about countries blowing up or imploding.

State sponsored famine and the brutal oppression on innocents isn't really a culture.
They have the same culture as the folks that sell us Kias and host the Olympics.
