Thanks guys, I have made up my mind to pay one of my roommoates for my usage of water and electricity. But not the other people, because honestly we do not even talk very much.

Hello, guys, I grow up in a working-class family in China, during my teenage years living in a Soviet-style communal houses built during the Mao eras, I sometimes wonder why I have to live in conditions like that yet my classmates whose parents owns company or are senior party officials can live a w...

Recently we will have a two week long holiday, my two roommates are going home and I 'm the only one who stay at the house we share. The electricity bill and the water bill of us is being calculated by averaging our usage, for example, if the bill says it is 9 dollars, then each of us (3 persons in ...

The greatest problem of his theory is this: he insists that behind the real world there is something ugly, a dark energy called 'the will' that dictates the real world, that the real world is merely an expression of this dark energy that lies behind, yet he provides no valid evidence for this. The w...

I used to consider him a great philosopher, but as I grow older I realize his ideas is just one of many incomplete explanation we give to our world just like others'.

For example, his theory can not be used to explain things like 'anorexia' with ease.

Here is a video from North Korea:

The youth of Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League in Pyongyang are performing a massive show for Kim.

Is there any Christian here that can defeat my arguement? 8) 8) 8) I'm an atheist and I think that your argument is utter shite. The entire bit with the North Korean hymn serves no logical purpose, it's not at all clear that Christians have a special obligation to overthrow kings, dictators or tyra...

https://youtu.be/akOHzA7mb50 "We Will Follow You Only" (Chosŏn'gŭl: 우리는 당신밖에 모른다) is a North Korean hymn dedicated to the country's leader Kim Jong-un. The song was first released on the Korean Central Television in 2013, every North Korean has to sing it. Here is the lyric: He is the dri...

I think you're too focused on shifting the blame from the philosophical concept of where communism originates, to this ideology that means whatever it is you just said - rather than examining the individual policies and determining where it lands on a political compass. I mean, NK is anti-capitalis...

Anyway, their current military capabilities don't concern me at all. As I've had to bring up a few times before, NK is operating on soviet union 1960-80 ICBM technology, except they have even less of a power grid. Even back then, America could successfully shoot down the soviet ICBMs. My main conce...

Uhhhhhh what. I mean, the constitution of North Korea describes itself as a Social-communism. I can see why you don't think it's a socialist state, although from what I understand it's a nation with social policies that are just very poor, but let's just be clear that authoritarianism doesn't have ...

It all depends on your nationality, if you were American, a vegetable state might happen to you :shock: I don't know what you mean by that, do you know what you mean? Anyway, I'm not American. I'm refering to this http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/06/19/otto-warmbier-dead-former-us-prisoner-north-k...

Honestly, If you went there you will be treated like a hero escaping from the evil west. Of course, as long as you remain loyal to the good old Kim :roll: :roll: :roll: Maybe I'll stay where I am just in case your Russian friend's account is not 100% trustworthy. It all depends on your nationality,...

1) Full scale American attack on North Korea to end present regime and establish new regime, or consolidate both North and South Korea with a democratic election. 2) Allow China to take over North Korea by force to become part of China. Let's look at the Iran deal: Obama agrees to pay Iran millions...
