The new fridge has a cold water dispenser in the front of it, with a child lock. 'Granddad, I can't get any water from this...' 'Hey, cold water isn't free. Use the tap in the sink, you little rat.' 'But granddad, I can't reach the tap.' 'Well then you have a great incentive to grow up fast, don't you.' Life: as Marx noted, it's all about controlling the means of production.
Comment on DPRK North Korea from Ex PLA colonel, Manchuria
I admit, and I have to, that the DPRK government is the worst government on earth. No one can deny this, but at the same time, North Korea is our little brother and we cannot tell our brother what to do, and we will always defend our little brother. This is blood, not politics. Mao Zedong's son is buried in DPRK, a hero of the war against the American invaders. We will not forget this war crime. We are brothers of blood. This is what it is to be Manchurian.
