question about these north korean divers

[OG_StankBrefs]

There's only 2 classes, dirt poor and middle class.

which one do you think the athletes fall under? I'd pick middle class NK over Syria, fukk all that.

I was more referrin to dat tone of "NK really at dat bad. " in ya post.



nikka, dat place is an absolute shythole void of anything dat eam remotely resembles living life.

All their "fans" at the Beijing Olympics were paid Chinese actors

Who knows what kind of fuccery they cooked up this time around

They did the same shyt at the 2010 World Cup

Does Kim chow mein even let his people do sports?

I'm not saying NK is fantastic, but I would assume olympic athletes don't live that bad in NK (don't take the media as nonbias without exaggeration, it will always have dashes of it). The capital looks a lot better than most 3rd world countries, I mean Pyongyang vs many capitals is a blow out. I bet they're looking at Rio with very little envy with the exception of the beach (you won't get your shyt stolen and your head busted in Pyongyang). Everyone always thinks their home is better than the outside world, just look at americans. Folks will live in the shyttiest neighborhood and wouldn't relocate abroad for the life of them. Sampe applies to NK, they don't know any better.

and the new leader is waaaaaaay more relaxed than the previous one.

In case you missed it the first time.

I know 3 people that have gone, in fact I was supposed to go too, last min I dropped out because I wasn't sure if they were going to stamp my passport (that raises red flags in our country and I really don't want to be bothered with a 1 hour interrogation).

I need to see a place for myself before I go talking as if I know the place. but I got enough info from 3 really good friends, with pics and videos to get a general idea. Again, I wouldn't live there fukk that, but I can think of many...MANY places that I would pick NK over. You asked why the NK athletes don't run, and I am just explaining how they probably view things from their side. Now if they were cruising around Tokyo or NY, they probably will jump out the window and flee. Where the fukk are they going to flee in Rio? they'd be food. I highly doubt they are looking at favelas in the hills above them thinking "this is freedom" I mean cmon now.

thats what im saying!! shyts like out of a movie and when they get back to north korea will they start a revolution on escaping? telling everyone back home that its so wonderful outside of north korea. i want a vice episdoe on this or espn 30 for 30

this needs more attention. im curious AF

If they plan on escaping they should do it while they are in Brazil instead of going back.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

i really wanna read up more on NK

watched something about this one breh who escaped to SK, apparently he grew up in a prison but didnt know his family like they're fenced in but they don't even know to what degree they are separated from everyone. they don't have any contact with the rest of NK. he somehow broke out once he became woke. said families were just whatever, they didn't give a shyt about you or anything

i'm not explaining it well but its straight when you hear it, disheartening as hell though


found something about it for you my g Shin Dong-hyuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lol Breh, I get whurr you trynna go but...

@Tommy Knocks you a good poster but what are you basing your information off of this documentry above got video of the Pyongyang capital you talking about shyt look pretty fukked up to me what capitals are you comparing it to? To say its better than most capitals thats one of the most capitals ive seen in my life (if its anything like recorded in this video). 9 minute mark of video.

You wont get your shyt busted in Pyongyang whose even allowed in Pyongyang for that to happen in the first place

I'm basing this information on the fact that I live an hour plane ride from PY, and have 3 friends that have gone. Not rare to hear diplomats that have gone too. They say its the twilight zone, super weird, like nothing theyve ever seen before, however, its not like one big prison or anything. most Koreans just live their lives.

Here's a documentary on an american who lives there.


and I didnt say it was better than MOST capitals

I said their are capitals that Pyongyang is better than if you're in the elite middle class, whom are the only people in the capital anyways. It's better than Bangui, Damascus, Gaza, Porto Nova. I can think of a few more. I think a north korean would pick PY over a favela for sure. Would I? hell no, Ive been to a favela I can handle it, plus I'd still have the internet, but a north korean....I doubt it. you need to put things like culture into perspective. What is important to us like internet, they dont even know what that is, what would they care if they dont have it? guns don't bother us, but a shoot out would freak them the fukk out.

[OG_StankBrefs]

I haven't been to Baghdad but I'm pretty sure it fukkin sucks too.

Are nikkas really trynna for NORF KOREA in dis mufukka???

 

[concise]

i thought they couldn't leave the country? is this the first time they been on a plane? or seen white and black people? do they stay in the olympic village or in a cage locked up after they dive

i have so many quesitons for these women!!!

You also have to ask, how many of them live in Japan? There are Koreans whose families who fled the peninsula a long time ago who have passed on citizenship to the North and South sides to this day. North Korea took a couple of those guys to the World Cup in South Africa.

And An should know. Born and raised in Japan, he plays his club football for South Korea's biggest club Suwon Samsung Bluewings and, were he not injured, would be facing some of his team-mates, playing in North Korea's second World Cup qualifier. In footballing terms, it is a unique situation but there are around 600,000 Koreans living in Japan - descendants of immigrants who arrived on the archipelago, in many cases against their will, during the second world war to help alleviate labour shortages of the country that colonised South Korea between 1910 and 1945.

"My grandparents went to Japan before Korea gained independence," An explained. "My mother and father were born and raised in Japan. My nationality is Chosun (Chosun was the Korean name for Korea before it split, a term still used in the North but not in the South) but now the Korean peninsula is divided into North and South so, technically, my nationality no longer exists. I went to a school that follows the North Korean education system. I received a passport from the North. I have no Japanese passport. My life is deeply connected to the history of the Korean peninsula."
