@ned - lol, you look ridiculous right now. I'm not losing money and if rep meant anything, i can bot it right back up. But it doesnt mean anything.
Keep Streisanding me though :) It looks good on you. The public adores you.
PS. I know who you work for ;)
got downvoted by ned? Cause you were saying something he didn't like...... Damn I didn't realize. Are ned and berniesanders the same person? bahahaha whale babies
No, @berniesanders has some common sense and class and a great sense of humor. @ned, has hair. He's got that going for him.
Ned will loose his hair to stress when we hack him and take his owner keys, and none ofthe witnesses help him and the stolen account recovery featurew will break, and ned will feel what its like to be like all the new users who get hacked and nothing replaced by him, when he could have easily replaced all scam and hack victims steem JUST ONCE , as a PR move to PROVE steem is SAFEST blockchain to invest your TIME into.
I feel like Ned is kind of like ISlam and we are Bush Era US foreign policy, ned only responds to Action ...
Class? You're kidding, right?
thanks. just in case anyone might be confused, i don't live in dprk 😄
i live in south korea where we might have a little more freedom but government controls nearly everything. you can't open a lemonade stand without bribing them (literally). some presidents might even have good intentions. they want the nation to thrive, but no matter who you are, if you have too much power, the moment you start making decisions for people who might not be as rich or powerful as you, you are turning yourself into a dictator.
One of my friend said,
"People of DPRK are very much happy. They get everything they want. They go to work for 5 hours a day, the remaining time for spending time with their family and entertainment. But at end of the day, they gets get good sleep. Governemnt take care of everything. "
is it true? I should ask this question to a DPRK citizen, since you posted very close to them, you can guides us with some real information.
i'm not from dprk 😐 but i can assure you people are not happy over there.
All you can really do is take the word of defectors:
But in the grand scheme, it's highly unlikely their lives are somehow secretly wonderful
Are you talking about the likes of @ berniesanders? I thought so.
well, anybody who stops anyone from posting an opinion :)
The stark truth is black and white.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
sorry to interrupt, but it seems like he's exaggerating a bit. Sure, the government do control to some extent and yes sometimes it goes bad, but South Korea is one of the most successful democratic revolutions in modern history.
No democracy will survive in the long term. Mark my words.
I agree.
No 'ocrocy' or 'ism' will survive in the long term, so your words, while marked, aren't all that profound or new.
There are systems of government, that while also flawed, managed to exist for centuries. Some survive to this day. Normally these are the more autocratic systems like Monarchies, Caliphates, Empires etc.
I mention democracies specifically because the Western world enjoys treating them as some unassailable holy grail. If you are "against democracy" then you are a "bad" person. No, my words may not be original, but they are not uttered nearly enough and few people actually understand them.
Uhm, 70 years in Middle Europe and a few decades more in the US, if I'm not mistaken.
How long is "long term" to you?
More than a few hundred years. We don't even have any real democracies that are more than 100 years old yet. That's only a handful of generations!
now we're going off topic but yea, sometimes it goes real bad :)
Keyword, "revolution" - hyperbole or not...
