US student is sentenced to 15 years hard labor in North Korea for trying to steal a political banner

I bet, I already was on the internet, when you were just a eager glint in the eyes of your father!

Anyway, I will never stop to tell assholes like I see em. Some people here behave like complete retards with no manners or respect for others. That’s unacceptable in all forms of human communication to me.

But be it as it may, my inner peace is not really concerned about some stupid people at the end of the world, so have a good life in your trailer park or social flats or wherever you hang tight.

Peace, yo!

I can’t believe you can justify that type of unusual punishment for that type of crime by hiding behind the argument of cultural tolerance. That mean we should just tolerate female genital mutilation while we’re at it? I mean it’s just cultural diversity right?

I’m out of this too, they’re taking someone who didn’t harm anyone and robbing him of 15 years of his life and I have to spell out why it’s extreme or fucked up to you. So guess I can’t really argue with you.

No one is denying that their laws are fucked up. But if your grown ass is stupid enough to travel to that shit hole and break one of their laws then you don’t deserve any pity what so ever.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Good you and the other 2 assholes fuck outta here, trying to ruin our fun.

Really I can’t think of a more “I thought it was gonna be chill breh!” case than this. You don’t just fuck off to one of the most talked about hell holes in the world and pull this shit expecting to get away with a story you can tell the “guys” over a couple of “brews” and pull the “I am so sorry” card when that shit backfires.

At least he will have a good book deal out of this.

His hands will be too crippled from breaking rocks with a rusty iron pick to write. :coffee:

This is Korea, he will most likely be using a spoon.

Why waste a good spoon when he got nails?

I sorta wish Capcom would go back to making no Street Fighters again just so these new guys would stop joining the forum.

You guys are really asking me to explain right and wrong to you? Lol

Nobody goes to NK without an agenda.
This guy fucked up and he deserves no remorse.

North Korea doesn’t need to be in the moral right for this guy to have been stupid for ignoring the foreseeable consequences of his own immoral actions.

Read it again…

…or is it something you can’t or won’t answer?

time for a extremely funny joke !!!

if i didn’t know better (that this guy was 'murican)…
i’d probably think that he’d be from :

Because cultural relativism is total bullshit. It can’t produce cross-cultural comparisons, so by extension scientific conclusions can’t be reached at all using it. There is an objective reality, and by extension there is right and wrong (or truth and fiction), and honestly, if you need me to explain right and wrong to you I don’t know what to say. Giving someone 15 years of hard labor is some Hammurabi’s Code shit, it has no place in our advanced society. Plus it is a total slippery slope, not long ago when African countries were giving the death penalty to gay citizens was that cool because it is their “culture”? When ISIS does their thing it is no big deal because of their different “culture”? You don’t see how that is complete and utter nonsense? It opens the door for all sorts of atrocities and means nobody has to take responsibility for their actions, everything gets pawned of on to their “culture”

Agreed.

He also willingly went to NK.
He willingly did some dumb shit.

He wasn’t dealt a shitty hand like people born in those shitty countries that have to deal with outdated practices.

NK didn’t screw Otto.
Otto screwed Otto.

I bet you if Hitler had not tried to invade surrounding countries the USA would’ve just let him be.

You’re missing the point again. Yes he did something dumb, but his actions also show just how antiquated and ass backwards NK is. Saying something like “play dumb games, get dumb prizes” or some other colloquialism is letting NK off the hook. One of the main reasons for countries not allowing Cruel and Unusual Punishment is that sometimes, people do dumb things, but said people still have rights. To say otherwise just because “Otto screwed Otto” is indicative of some authoritarian nonsense

Oh shut the fuck up. Your verbose ass is just going on and on to pretty much say “this is fucked up shit” and no one is even arguing that it isn’t. But you don’t go pick fights with a bigger dude than you without expecting the possibility of getting your ass kicked.
