If you lived in North Korea what occupation would you have?

I voted rice farmer because I like working outside and not being shot.

I thought this thread would be about an occupy movement in North Korea so when I was it wasn't I slammed my head against my keyboard and it voted for me.

One could also be a performer in the Arirang Mass Games. But if you screw up, you'd find your job changed to option three.

I guess North Koreans would laugh at american misfortunes too if China would come in America and artificially separate North and South US and bring mass misery to people stuck in the north.

Its only fair right, since americans did it too?

Shit, theyve been doing it to Yugoslavia, Iraq, vietnam, afghanistan, etc, etc

Iran is probably next.

Encourage sectarian divisions, bomb countries to keep people radicalized, in fear and divided, so that no regional power can emerge to challenge the west.

Meanwhile the ecosystems are gonna fail and some people are only gonna get it when theres no superbowl on TV anymore.

There was already mass misery due to Japan's occupation of the Korean peninsula before the division between North and South. Japan annexed Korea in 1910, Korea was not officially divided until a 1953 armistice was signed after North Korea's military invasion of the South.

Ok so america made it worse, for the whole southeast asia region, even though it was already fucked up from colonial ventures, from Japan and the west.

Better?

I'm not sure the United States made anything worse, although the United States made things better for those in the South. I don't know why you're placing the blame entirely on the United States when the Soviet Union had just as much to do with the division.
