Right, but it was a good joke made bad by the medium in which they chose to present it.

But for every bit of real, accurate news that IS broken first on Twitter, there are a thousand pieces of misinformation that are immediately RT'd by people who were't appropriately skeptical.

It's actually quite clear from sales figures that, in the average consumer's eyes, the iPad is the better choice.

Yup. Liberty is not certified safe, but unfortunately many people will trade anything for the apparent assurance of safety.

On an airplane, the threat is to everyone onboard. On a bus, most people assume that they'll be spared any consequences if they just stay out of it.

Usually I would say a blogger is far less qualified to select a CEO than a major company's board. However, this is HP, and that's not exactly a given.

Maybe not, but some recent reports have indicated the famines are worse than ever, even affecting the military. The military has ALWAYS been well-fed and kept happy at the expense of the general population.

I don't think you read my posts. I'm not in favor of intervention in North Korea. I was saying that intervention and non-intervention both have significant negatives, and very few positives.

Also, China doesn't want tens of millions of uneducated, half-starved refugees streaming into their country.

It is entirely inappropriate to attempt to compare our prison system with that of North Korea or China.

Right. We send in aid with American flags stamped on the packaging and Dear Leader tells them that it's tribute paid by a conquered nation.

Please troll in someone else's less serious conversation.

Good theory, but North Korea recognizes the threat posed by external information sources.

You support forced abortion policies? Nice.

Fact.

Get a clue, please.

What action should we take? I have another post in this comments section that points out there's no winning scenario for fixing North Korea.
