Erm. Does anyone care? What will replace him? Will the people now have hope for their future?

Rest in hell.

What did he do to upset you so much?

Posted on: 19 December 2011 by Tony Lockhart
As much as, I suppose, Saddam, bin Laden, Hitler....... Or are you just joking? Tony

He was just misunderstood, watch this and you will understand.

It is very sad news but at least we have the comfort of knowing that the North Korean nuclear arsenal is now under the control of 28 year old Kim Jong-un, The Great Successor, and we can all sleep easily in our beds.

47 million starving but 1 million strong army to keep them that way, and nuclear weapons all in control of a 28 year old.

 

Should be nothing to worry about  then.

Utter tosser now gone, problem is that his misguided country will carry on regardless.

 

A possible argument for dropping an atomic bomb?

Hope that this is the British black humor .
 
However, I think in the very short term, it is unlikely that anyone will make a move, and there is a lot of high ranking officials who have much privilege to protect. China also have many benefits to gain if the region is stable.

Not at all, and we spell it "humour"!

 

You're probably American, so can't remember Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Yes, those were the brutal times when more than 61 millions got killed totally (16 millions military and 45 millions civilians, and the dropping of these atomic bombs were meant to save lives (so they said). I sincerely hope that we've all learnt a lesson.

Possibly he is just a puppet for the military regime. Just like his father (allegedly).

Can somebody here get the facts right? The population of North Korea is actually estimated to be approx. 24,051,218  (2009 statistics).  So where does the 23 other millions? If this includes the South then they are not certainly starving because the living standard there belongs to one of the richest countries.

A google search said it was 47 mill.

 

A second search says 24,346,229 in 2010. Not that it makes much difference, the people are still starving

That is correct, the North Korean are hungry, what a shame!

The people in North Korea are by and large very kind, giving, but they had such a worthless leader and will have a worthless sack in his son - This is a real tragedy.

On a lighter note, I got two highly amusing and genuine replies on the same day, whilst trying to discuss his death.

 

From my Mother in Law (87), "Oh yes, I knew him very well, he was a Police Superintendent".

From an aquaintance, "King John Hill ? Which country's he King of then ?

From the BBC:

 

At the university's foreign language department I asked the students how they had managed to learn such good English.

 

"Thanks to the Great Leader," one young man replied, "we are allowed to watch English and American films, like The Sound of Music."

 

When asked which world leaders - other than the Dear Leader - he admired, he quickly answered "Stalin and Mao Zedong!"

 

However, the students had not heard of Nelson Mandela.

The BBC golf team have mocked up a commentary on the only round that the Supreme Leader ever played when he came in at 38 under par.

Useless father inherited power from his father and will now pass power to his 28 year old son. Scary So glad we live in a democracy and hold no truck with the hereditary principle like the poor North Koreans!
