    Signs of unrest in North Korea. Roll on the revolution. By the end of the year we may have run out of dictators if things keep going.

    South Korea dropping leaflets on North Koreans telling them to rise up in the way as the Arab world. Only problem is they may be too hungry to do anything. Which is sad all the same.

    Didn't work for Dirty Den and Ange, can see similar consequences here.

    No. Most of Ulster has ingrained it's association with the UK for too long. It's not gonna happen.

    No, North Korea should not be reunited with South Korea in my opinion.. Maybe if there was a century of actual peace, then it could be an idea.

    Hopefully the North Koreans do rise up, think it was bbc that did a documetary inside North Korea, amazing how little they know of the outside world, scary in a way too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,259 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I think Northern Ireland should be reunited with North Korea, this will end the madness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,560 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    South Korean authorities: Rise up like the Arabs have done!

    North Korean authorities: Arabs don't exist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭hardcore


    I dont think North Korea will ever be united with South Korea. North Korea has been a communist country for decades now and under a dictatorship. I can see a war in the future but it wont make any difference. North Korea looks like it's still in the 40's if you take a look at some photos of the country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 622 ✭✭✭sandmanporto


    It will never happen! I cant see it happening!
    In fact im sick of the north. I hate it! There is so much hostility against irish people there. The unionists call us 'IRA SUPPORTING SCUM'. The IRA exists because the brits took part of our country! Its the brits fault and they dare to blame us!
    Il never forget reading about that catholic schoolboy stabbed to death for NO REASON other than being catholic by 2 young unionist SCUM! if the north was any gud, it wud want to be independant! But it wouldnt be much of a country i guess!

    Not until Nationlists become a large majority
    * 2010 - Unionists 50.5%, Nationalists 42.0%, Others 7.5%
    * 2009 - Unionists 49.0%, Nationalists 42.2%, Others 8.8%
    * 2007 - Unionists 47.6%, Nationalists 41.8%, Others 10.4%
    * 2005 - Unionists 51.4%, Nationalists 41.8%, Others 6.8%
    * 2005 - Unionists 48.8%, Nationalists 40.8%, Others 10.4%
    * 2004 - Unionists 48.6%, Nationalists 42.2%, Others 9.2%
    * 2003 - Unionists 52.1%, Nationalists 40.5%, Others 7.4%
    * 2001 - Unionists 52.9%, Nationalists 42.7%, Others 4.4%


    Or perhaps certain parts of Northern Ireland could be re-united with Ireland. Like, the green bits..

    I don't know that DMZ on the Cavan border would be a tricky spot to launch an invasion.

    I know a guy when to defect and got blown up by a land mine, saying that it was an improvement on life in Cavan

    Kim Jong-il should have a go at trying to run Norn Iron instead.

    and we'll send Ian Paisley over to North Korea

    Seen this, It was a real eye opener..Id love to see something done over there...i cant imagine any sort of revolt happening anytime soon.

    Plus they have quite a lot of nucular weapons so any sort of outside interferance would be met with fierce anger i reckon

    The Berlin Wall is long gone, yet in Northern Ireland, they are still building "Peace Lines" through Belfast.

    There is nowhere else in the EU that has to physically divide it's people. It's absolute madness.

    OK, yes, obviously prisons and mental hospitals have to physically divide people. :p

    But there is nowhere in the EU that has to divide its citizens with a 30km wall.

    It's right out of Soviet Russia or Palestine, but it's in Ireland. I just think it's insane in this day and age.

    Or maybe you could read the thread and realise it's about North and South Korea instead of jumping to conclusions and dragging it off topic.
