The children of North Korea are on to you, yanks!

Now, to bring this tread totally back to topic, I do wonder if those North Korean kids got something similar to the original book, and only the accompaining study material biased, or if the original lost a little bit more then mere semantics in the translation process...

Probably the latter, since setting a good book in the hands of too many people will always make a few of them think for themselves. And I mean damn, who vcan run a good dictatorship with individual thinkers running around messing things up?

No-no-no....I didn't say anything of the sort. Now, I can't control how people think. If someone reads my dirty stories and has the urge to masturbate....SHAME ON THEM! And if you read my comments about Kim Jong il and thought about another leader who likes to wag the dog, then SHAME ON YOU!

Cause who am I to disagree with President George Bush. I mean, hell, God talks to Bush. To disagree with Bush....well, it's like disagreeing with God. And we all know what happens to those people who disagree with God. They go to hell with all the gay people. You know what...I bet they got the place down there looking pretty spiffy with matching curtains and all that good stuff.

I think mostly it depends on how the teacher presents it. Oh shit, I just thought of something...heaven help us when they start using Lord of the Flies.
