Three Olives posted:Just for the record I have never stolen a sign because who the gently caress steals signs much less steals signs from known murderous dictators? I had a high school friend who stole road signs to try to be 'bad rear end' or whatever. It was kind of lame then and it's even more lame thinking about it now. I can see his mentality. He's probably like 'hahaha bro I'm going to steal this sign from North Korea and hang it up in my room at the frat house oh man it's gonna be so lit bro'. No one deserves what happened to him because his fate is out right terrifying. But goddam how stupid can you be to think anything he did was a good idea.

Lord knows what they actually did to him in there to cause damage like that...That Robot posted:why was he dumb enough to think going to NK was a good idea? "Adventure" You know, since parachuting and whitewater rafting and hiking Macchu Pichu is soooo passé, the kind of thing plebes like US do. He had to be special, had to do more than have an interesting story to tell, he had to out-story everyone else at the party.

http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21723779-travel-ban-american-citizens-north-korea-may-be-offing-outrageous-death-otto Apparently the tour group trumped up the safety of traveling there quote:HOW safe is it? Extremely safe!” So read the guidance for North Korea on the website of Young Pioneer Tours when Otto Warmbier, a 21-year-old American student, signed up for a five-day trip to North Korea in December 2015. quote:Young Pioneer Tours, [...] also organises travel to former Soviet gulags, Chernobyl and Iran (or, “destinations your mother would rather you stayed away from”, as it brags), quote:"I have been very impressed by the Korean government’s humanitarian treatment of severe criminals like myself,” he said during a televised confession.

I hate to bring this up, but the story is like the embodiment of privilege. Dude probably grew up without any serious issues and figured the rules didn't apply to him; and even if he got in trouble or got caught, someone would get him out of it--whether it be a government official, Rodman, or whomever. I keep going between 'goddam what a horrible fate' and 'goddam how stupid do you have to be to wind up in a situation like his' that I don't really know how I feel about it.

So if anything the problem is acting like you have more privilege than you do? Maybe if his daddy was a little bit richer he could bribed Kim Jong Un through the chinese.

Psycho Society posted:how will you get a gorgeous north korean waifu then hmm. riddle me that Well, given the North Korean stance on race mixing and the rather brutal punishment of women suspected of it (highlights include forced abortions and public execution of mother and unborn fetus) I'd guess North Korea would actually be one of the worst places for that.

So how much better is healthcare in NK that they kept a brain dead individual alive for a year with no issues, and the he dies within a week after being flown to a hospital here? Truly the Great Leader knows medical care like no one else.

It's both of these things and both feelings are right. What happened to him was horrible and greatly out of proportion to what he did. At the same time it's very stupid that he did what he did. North Korea can hold all the moral and ethical blame for what happened without us needing to overlook that he did a dumb thing. The dumb thing should not have resulted in his death, but the dumb thing was a dumb thing.
