Kim is a good kid. I can feel people out intuitively, and those instincts are exceptionally accurate. I have never once had doubts about the integrity or been suspicious of Kim's intentions or outlook. He's a good kid and he's going to do the right thing. He just wants to be happy like anyone else. We need to show him support and friendship. He wants to be part of the world.

No matter how much money he has he is in prison for life if he doesn't change his country. Being rich and stuck in a 10 by 10 cell is still not good and that is basically what he is in. Singapore is the farthest he has ever gone in his life, and I think it is something he wants to continue to do.
First reports claimed he attended the private English-language International School in Gümligen under the name "Chol-pak" or "Pak-chol" from 1993 to 1998.[23] He was described as shy, a good student who got along well with his classmates and was a basketball fan.[24]
Later, it was reported that Kim Jong-un attended the Liebefeld Steinhölzli state school in Köniz near Bern under the name "Pak-un" or "Un-pak" from 1998 until 2000 as the son of an employee of the North Korean embassy in Bern. Authorities of Köniz confirmed that a student from North Korea, registered as the son of a member of the embassy, attended the school from August 1998 until the autumn of 2000, but were unable to give details about his identity. Pak-un first attended a special class for foreign-language children and later attended the regular classes of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and part of the final 9th year, leaving the school abruptly in the autumn of 2000. He was described as a well-integrated and ambitious student who liked to play basketball.[26]
According to some reports, Kim was described by classmates as a shy child who was awkward with girls and indifferent to political issues, but who distinguished himself in sports and had a fascination with the American National Basketball Association and Michael Jordan. One friend claimed that he had been shown pictures of Pak-un with Kobe Bryant and Toni Kukoč.[31]
In April 2012, new documents came to light indicating that Kim Jong-un had lived in Switzerland since 1991 or 1992, earlier than previously thought.
There are still problems to work out in South and Central America, Africa, SE Asia, and the Middle East.

World peace is a nice thought but anyone who thinks it's about to become a reality has a serious lack of understanding of how this world works.
So you're telling me that you "understand how the world works"?
The arrogance... the hubris...
It's like your mind fights against the very thought of a positive world-view.
You will rationalize any possible way to justify a negative outlook.
It contrives threats, evils, monsters everywhere to remind you that you must, at all costs, believe in a tomorrow that is a lost cause with no Hope.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Why do you choose to allow such thoughts into your mind?
Why focus on the worst case scenario?
Is the glass really almost completely empty?
Or is your mind corrupted by negativity?
Think about you and your life in this world, ignore all of the nightmares you have been conditioned to believe in for just one minute. Is it really that bad?

Just got to dot the i's and cross the t's now and all will be well.
Who would have thought peace on Earth and goodwill toward Mankind was on the cards, and it's not even Christmass.
