		<description>Just following the posts here reminds me how little this world has evolved since back in the days.
&quot;we are 100 times better to our enemies than hitler, stalin&quot;
Hmm, just the fact u still see other countries as enemies is bad enough in my ears.

USA today has fallen into the hands of a corrupt group of ppl that works with other leaders inside west.
Countries outside west are being terrorized by west every single day, but when someone tries to say &quot;get the fuck out of our country&quot; they are stated to be terrorists and needs to be bombed or whatever western leaders deicides to do.

Democracy is a good thing but its never good when our leaders treats may of us inside west liks scum and whoe countries outside west as terrorists.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny how self proclaimed socialist always tout the beauty and fairness of the scandinavian countries. The honest truth they leave out is that these countries, if attacked, can barely defend themselves since they spend no money on military defence and everything on entitlements. Oh yeah don&#039;t forget their oppressive taxes on the populace to support these freebies. The fact is their are over 200,000 right wingnuts, teabaggers, or dare I say freedom lovers in what the North Koreans would call re-education camps but are really concentration/labor camps. How ironic the evil and greedy South Koreans are their to shove their evil capitalist society right in their face as a reminder of how the left always fails. Just remember liberals, progressives, socialist, or communists (I am sorry I do not know what your label is now) there are 100,000,000 people dead and many more unaccounted for due to this ideology. Please save your excuses the fact is these deaths were also a result of socialism gone wild.</description>

		<description>I love finding collections of propaganda posters like this. It doesn&#039;t matter to me where they are from. Sometimes they are really funny or absurd, but I like to see them because they are so scary. I am scared that the people that they are intended for are bombarded with them so much that they might actually believe them. And, when they have no access to other information (like these kinds of forums where these ideas are debated ad infinitum) then how are they to know any different? How are they to determine the &quot;truth&quot; (if there even is such a thing).

 Ever since I read Nineteen Eighty-Four I have been frightened by the immense propaganda I see around me everyday (from each side of of the political aisles). And, I like reading these propaganda posters because I feel like it helps to keep my mind sharp. I can see the lies coming at me because I have seen so many examples of it through this kind of art. Thank you for posting these pictures. I hope that people can learn more than hatred or blind loyalty from them.</description>

		<description>You american retards, so:

1. Socialist doesn`t mean communist.
2. The history of the US is full of invasions, abuses, dictatorship...see Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, Argentina...Africa...every single dictator was put by the CIA...killing people everywhere.
3. For all you stupid ignorant americans, we don`t need your McDonalds, Coca Cola, blue jeans, and we are not communists, we have the freedom of speech, we don`t interfere in others` DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED governments.

I`m talking about Sweden, Norway, Finland, Island. These are socialist systems, the state really cares about HUMAN LIFE, no one is left dying when he/she is sick. The economy is great and people are free.

And we don`t steal this from others, WE produce it. We don`t kill, we live and let live. 

PS: So, if the US(and others) has nuclear bombs, why can`t Iran have? Ahhh, right, the US has it for pacific purposes.

You dirty redneck rats, get the f*** out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen...leave them alone</description>

		<description>My Name CPL Palma of the United States Marine Corp. I have sacrificed years of my life and the endured physical pain most Americans cannot even dream of. And I do it for one thing, to protect that document that gives these idiotic, ignorant, uneducated retards the right to say these disgusting un-patriotic comments against the country I may one day die defending. 

Mark Twain once said &quot;Patriotism is supporting your country always, and your governement when it deserves it&quot;. Even if you are not satisfied with the way our country is run, stop whining about it and do something! And ANYBODY who wants to rail on the war, please follow my lead, enlist in a fighting force, and help out ourself! Otherwise, you have lost all credibility to me. Because we are doing good over there, but the papers will never tell you that. 

It is interesting how people will say there is &quot;no right or wrong&quot;, and then procede to argue their ignorant opinion on how Korea is justified. Obviously, if there was no right or wrong, we would have nothing to argue about. What ever happened to the red blooded Americans, who supported their troops, and supported freedom. (And to whoever the moron who said they no longer capitalize America, please leave my country, because I will not die for you). This country needs to stop whining, and start acting. It&#039;s fine and easy to leave insulting comments behind a fake name and no trace of identity, but it&#039;s an entirely different matter when you are actually trying to make a difference. No one here, including me, is making a difference until we actually get up and start moving. Once you leave your dark hole of hatred, maybe you&#039;ll wake up and realize what a wonderful country we live.

		<description>When we see the amount of overwhelming propaganda  brainwashing the Korean people and the affects it has on them, how do we know that U.S is not doing the same? Clearly it is not to the same ridiculous extent, but perhaps it is done in far more sinister ways. I know they are sure as hell are good at covering their tracks and warranting their actions as a bid for democracy and freedom... Anybody know what happened to Chile in the 70&#039;s... and what happened to the democratically elected president??? Check it out...</description>

		<description>For Alien and everybody else
Sorry for post this so late
I love everything you said 
but this is no a competition to see who is the worst nation, 
of course they commit such  terrible acts but we cannot reduce to their level and do such terrible things the same way the did, we are a free nation and we should treat our enemys with consideration
My father told me once &quot;just because you are doing something good, it does not mean you can do bad&quot;</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t blame North Korea for hating America. America had to throw it&#039;s anti-communist weight around instead of letting other countries do their own thing. If a country wants to be communist, that is their decision and they should be allowed to be communist as long as they can live in harmony with the rest of the world. The reason they hate us so much is because we tried to change them. Why can&#039;t the US just stay out of other countries&#039; business? 
I&#039;m American and I don&#039;t hate North Korea. I don&#039;t know how bad Kim Jong Il really is (I only have U.S. propaganda to go by), but he can&#039;t be that great if people are willing to risk their lives to try and escape. I can&#039;t really believe it is quite as bad as our media makes it out to be. I believe there is some stretched truths, partial truths, or straight lies. 
I just think this whole thing could be handled much better than it has been, and the Korean War could have also been handled better. The US is partially responsible for the divide of Korea.
There are two sides to this story, and of course each side is going to glorify themselves and demonize the other.
Simply put, the US needs to leave North Korea alone and North Korea needs to not mess around with nuclear weapons.
It IS possible for the two countries to at least tolerate each other, but neither side is trying very hard.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t blame North Korea for hating America. America had to throw it&#8217;s anti-communist weight around instead of letting other countries do their own thing. If a country wants to be communist, that is their decision and they should be allowed to be communist as long as they can live in harmony with the rest of the world. The reason they hate us so much is because we tried to change them. Why can&#8217;t the US just stay out of other countries&#8217; business?<br />
I&#8217;m American and I don&#8217;t hate North Korea. I don&#8217;t know how bad Kim Jong Il really is (I only have U.S. propaganda to go by), but he can&#8217;t be that great if people are willing to risk their lives to try and escape. I can&#8217;t really believe it is quite as bad as our media makes it out to be. I believe there is some stretched truths, partial truths, or straight lies.<br />
I just think this whole thing could be handled much better than it has been, and the Korean War could have also been handled better. The US is partially responsible for the divide of Korea.<br />
There are two sides to this story, and of course each side is going to glorify themselves and demonize the other.<br />
Simply put, the US needs to leave North Korea alone and North Korea needs to not mess around with nuclear weapons.<br />
It IS possible for the two countries to at least tolerate each other, but neither side is trying very hard.</p>

		<description>If you want to post your opinions, try learning a bit about the history of the countries you are discussing.  The original grievance of North Korea towards the US goes back to the division of the country after WWII into North and South Korea.  It had previously been one country, the North Korean position is that the US divided the nation as a tactic in Cold War Diplomacy then incited a war to benefit its military industrial complex akin to what they charge we did in Iraq.

The problem Iran has with the US also goes back to the 40s and 50s when we murdered a democratically elected government and installed a dictator then proceeded to assist him in brutally repressing his own people.

The problem that Muslims have with us also goes back to the 40s when we, under the influence of diaspora Jews bulldozed hundreds of thousands of Palestinian homes so that Jews could take their land and create the modern state of Israel.

Each of these problems with each of these members of the &quot;Axis of Evil&quot; is a direct consequence of our own past actions.  Some going back as far as 60-70 years others as recent this decade where our actions in Iraq effectively made Iran the dominant power in the region (and now you sheep bawl and bail about how Iran is so dangerous... thank George Bush and the Neo Cons and Zionists for that one) and where our support of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land fuel terrorism, and where turn of policy in 2001 effectively allowed North Korea leverage for all sorts of sabre rattling.

Clean your own house before you go after anyone else.  We&#039;d have a lot more credibility on nuclear disarmament in regards to BOTH Iran and North Korea if we ourselves weren&#039;t shielding the nuclear armament in Israel.  Do you really think any of those nations in the Middle East are going to give up their nuclear ambitions with 3 countries in their own back yard including Israel who has not rules out a first strike has them?

THINK you damn sheep.  I love the USA but I wish we could deport all you retards somewhere else</description>

		<description>Geez guys,

America has done its fair share of stupid things, but to completely dismiss the nature of what these posters ALONE suggest about the North Korean Government...

Face the facts: the North Korean DICTATORSHIP (Ironic, the full name of of N.Korea is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is using military propaganda to incite the citizens against not JUST the US, but the western civilization in general. We&#039;re talking about terrorism tactics here, people, not &quot;fair points&quot;. They don&#039;t actually seem willing to really negotiate with just the US either, it seems all 1st world countries who are allied with the US are all of a sudden enemies. 

Think of the images being presented - they may have reason to hate the US, but these posters show that they are indeed no better than the US - they resort to violence, they resort to cruel, underhand tactics. They play on people&#039;s emotions. They don&#039;t allow their own citizens to make informed decisions. 

From what I understand (It may be just my view), the US, and every other country nowadays is more than willing to just put up arms, after all, such countries are primarily run by the people (I mean, they (I&#039;m not American) got Bush out of the damn White House). However, such factions of terrorism such as the Taliban, and indeed, even N. Korea who take a hardline, military approach for seemingly no reason do not allow such peaceful co-existence in the world.</description>

		<description>The entire thread seems to be focused on the USA and goats.

That really puts things in perspective.

Anyway I&#039;ve finally reach the end of the thread after two hours of intense reading, *phew*, I pretty much realised that people are taking turns to smack each other face using more or less the same arguments.

Here&#039;s a summary:

The anti-Americans keep saying that US made big mistakes, and should stop bothering with other&#039;s affairs without finding out the truth. The Sudan factory whatever is just one of the many examples

The pro-Americans keep saying that the US did more good than bad, and a country that is actually doing something to make the world a better place should not be condemned by countries that aren&#039;t doing a thing at all. Maybe if the US stop doing so much, they&#039;d commit less mistakes too, and people won&#039;t be blaming them.

Maybe you should start working our arguments from here and stop repeating yourselves.</description>

this is just a source for mr.bush&#039;s offshore shit

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0422-06.htm

and bitch about U.S. and the U.K. and all the other MDC&#039;s in the world but be happy you have what you have, and even if we are fucked up countries that doesn&#039;t make everyone in them fucked up, just because Hitler was controlling Germany in WWII did every German want to murder jews and burn babies? no.</description>

		<description>GREAT POSTERS!  

It makes me so sad, when people can be so sick, that they can&#039;t tell the true from the false.  They just believe what they are told...like goats...just like goats...because if you don&#039;t constantly shepherd them, they will revert to bad behavior...as if they don&#039;t think at all...and if they do think, they are certainly not thinking of taking personal responsibility for what they did, they are thinking of ways to blame their consequences on somebody else.  An exidtance devoid of honor or virtue.

If I am attacking my sister, and my dad helps my sister separate herself from me, by giving me a good whipping, and putting me on restriction, I would be sore, sure.  I&#039;d seethe for a while, then...I&#039;d think, well...I was kind of whopping on my sister and well...really bullying her around.  That isn&#039;t so good to do to people.  She deserves to live her life her way and I really shouldn&#039;t have done that in the first place...I guess that whipping was needed because if I had continued, I might have killed her.  

What N Korea is doing essentially is blowing my mind...it&#039;s playing victim to the consequences of their own actions.  Holding somebody accountable is not abuse...you want to have free trade?  Be nice.  You want to have an army?  Be nice.  Be nice...that makes us imperialists?</description>

		<description>I see a lot of ignorant people here - on BOTH sides of the debate. 

Many Americans don&#039;t seem to realize that when we talk about &quot;tragic mistakes&quot; that their country has committed, innocent human lives (often thousands at a time) are lost. And for what? To make America &quot;safer&quot;? No, usually to help someone profit financially or to advance a personal agenda. Osama bin Laden WAS on good terms with the US (including Bush administration officials). So was Saddam. Who do you think sold him the materials and helicopters he used to gas the Kurds? (And which political party do you think voted down an attempt in the late 1980s to prevent that sale?) Come on guys, wake up. Just because you are presented with a convenient, rosy account of history, it doesn&#039;t mean you should believe it. There&#039;s a bigger world out there.

As for the US-bashers I&#039;ve seen on this board, you are even worse. At least the other guys offer some cogent arguments. You, on the other hand, are throwing out all kinds of mindless slander that you proffered from some neo-marxist website. News flash: The Jews didn&#039;t get phone calls to avoid coming to work on 9/11. And Iran isn&#039;t the cute puppy that you would have it be. (The last statement is being proved all too true as I write this.)

The US has done some INEXCUSABLE things, and it is high time Americans started questioning them. (In fact, this should be done with some haste, because China is on its ascendancy. Woe be to all of us if the newly-empowered Chinese find a hostile America in their path.) I am happy to see on my trips to the US that this questioning IS beginning to take place (although you won&#039;t see it much on TV). 

But in questioning the motives of the worst Americans, we must be careful not to blindly attack everything that is American. Because then you fall into the hands of some wacko like &quot;Dear Leader&quot;.</description>
