    I don’t think the U.S. leaders watch enough TV and movies. Clearly she is the real psycho in the family.

      She’s just angry because the west keeps referring to her as “Kim’s sister” instead of her actual name. 😆

        It is pretty silly considering that Kim is the family name, so she does have the name. It’d be like calling Casey Affleck “Affleck’s brother”

          The West checking in. I’ve lived in the US and various European nations. While we have vastly different ideas of how to run our own countries, we’re still generally of one mind when it comes to our thoughts on North Korea, PRC, etc. So I’m ok with lumping us all into one big moniker.

            Yeah even China doesn’t like North Korea. They’re just the annoying guy you have to accept because…

          So the western news went - North Korea launched a completely non functional and useless satellite and for some reason we object to that.

            Space junk is pollution, it’s bad for scientists who study space as well as space photographers, and it’s extremely dangerous for astronauts. I don’t know why we wouldn’t object to this.

              yea right!

              I’m sure north Korea launching A satellite pollutes more than all the launches from US combined.

                I also think the US should be launching less stuff. The difference either way is that the US is putting up functional items with thrusters to help it move around and avoid obstacles while North Korea is putting up junk that will just ram into stuff.

                Notably, the US has always been hypocritical, calling them out for that doesn’t actually mean anything anymore. Everyone knows the US sucks already, this time they just happened to suck and be right about how we shouldn’t be letting nonfunctioning hazards be launched into space.

                  okay so what if their launch was a failure? they are allowed to try and fail. they might learn from this and launch again and have something useful.

                  Why is North Korea condemned for doing absolutely normal activities every state engages in?

    Some country leaders deserve to get assassinated.

    Some deserve to not even try to seek alternate diplomatic tactics.

    And some, namely the whole Kim family, don’t deserve for us to even WANT to try to be peaceful.

    I mean they’re seemingly not dangerous, but the way they run their own country still earns this treatment. And they need to be killed twice if they do become dangerous.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
