What most of these people are feeling are the effects of brainwashing and/or Stockholm Syndrome. Jim Jong il was nothing more than a ruthless dictator.

You have to ask yourself, why would this be true? Well, North Korea wants nothing of the western banking system and it´s unfluences such as fiat currency, opting instead of a centrally planned economy (currently one of the the worlds only ones, according to wikipedia en.wikipedia.org... )

Not as crazy as seeing millions line the streets in tears at the death of a singer or actor.
Or for that matter hundreds of little girls crying when Justin Bieber walks past them on his way into a concert...
In fact, these people have far more right to cry and feel extreme sadness because this man provided whatever these citizens have or had...

From what i've heard on the news,the North Koreans aren't very bothered about Kim's death because their lives are full of work and trying to get food on the table.Judging by the video, i would say that they are faking the tears or thats just the funny way North Koreans cry.

Thanks for the link
But I don't see how this relates to NK and there oppressive government? I was simply pointing out that their people live in fear of their government and die in large numbers do to bad policy of their government resulting in starvation.
Having said that, to compare the poor in north America to the poor in a third world nation is not fair by any stretch of the imagination.
But it must be pointed out that the poor here in North America, or the third world should never be marginalized and that's not my goaledit on 21-12-2011 by Max_TO because: star for the link

My point is everyone here is flapping at the lips about NK this and that and they are quoting American news sources in doing so.

I agree with you that much improvement is needed at home to correct the many social issues we face. But to tie those issues into a thread regarding NK and how there government treats its people and then to down play the situation in NK and what all of there people are going through is not the best tatic.
Nor is it fair to label any report pertaining to NK and it's tarible treatment of its people as propaganda.
It's my belief that each issue can stand on there own without the need of diminishing one to elevate the other.
