North Korea is so ridiculous. They make constant demands even though nobody is going to enforce it. Even China's patience with the damn place is wearing thin.
And North Korea would have money if they didn't spend it all on a hideous hotel (in their completely closed to the public country) and more recently a hideous statue in west africa.

Uh, if you're talking about the African Renaissance statue in Senegal, a North Korean company was paid by the Senegalese government to build that. And the Ryugyong Hotel only ended up being a waste of money because construction halted due to lack of funds. An Egyptian company started working on it again a couple of years ago. The country isn't really closed but as a tourist you would only be able to go to a handful of places.

Why did this guy get banned? I think if he was voicing his actually opinion, although I don't agree with it, that he shouldn't be banned for it. Or maybe I'm missing something, in my country only about 1/4th of every household has internet and my English is very bad, and this is my first internet forum, so I might be missing something.

someone earlier in this thread said something about some stupid meme or something like that and this is all that i found. If someone knows of something bad in this please explain
How is sending chinese ppl to world cup for nk relevant to sanctioning nk?
Way I see it is why is the weakest country in world got sanctions on them? what possibly can they do?
Americas war against communism costing lots of lives :/
6-8,000,000 dead in USSR famine 20,000,000+ dead in Chinese famine 3,000,000+ dead in N. Korea famine
Communism, as implemented, costs lots of lives. I don't want to speculate on the weakest country in the world, but they don't have nuclear weapons and a 1.2million man standing army. What can they do? they can kill 100,000 south koreans with artillery at the start of any war.
They have 6 billion $US they are spending on the military while they can't manage to feed themselves. These aren't US sanctions, they are UN sanctions.
Come on guys, lets be real here... At Mr. Kim's first time on the golf course, he managed to get 5 hole-in-ones! He also gets 3-4 hole-in-ones every time hes out on the course, and to add to his feats of strength, the first time he ever bowled he scored a perfect 300! Clearly we owe him more than just money. Respect.

Lot of people propping up to complain about this thing. Let's say Dance.jhu is not really being original about his statement. + Show Spoiler +

(Note that, like the internet in general, that site is tasteless and satirical.)
And uhmm, not to tempt fate with the "T-word", but is Kim Jong-Il fucking trolling? 75 TRILLION? Lol, I mean, does he actually expect to get any of this?
I just hope it doesn't escalate to something a la "give us money or we nuke xxx country", that would be terrible : /
(But really, nobody even has the money to meet his demands even if they wanted to. Economic recession, heard of it...?)
That's probably more than all the minerals and gas that have ever been mined in broodwar in all countries combined.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, it just makes me flol...that is so much money...Even if there was a million dollar bill in print, that would still be 75,000 of these bills. Shit, I'd be happy with just 75,000 one dollar bills.
This request definitly promotes North Korea to one of the funniest nations of the world, although they're far off Muammar al-Gaddafi yet! Just to write it once again, he told the "SPIEGEL" (arguably best german weekly news magazine) in an interview, that Switzerland attracts people with illegal money and kills them afterwards. This means that it was a terrorist country that should be devided and affiliated to germany, italy and france.
