    Earlier this year the regime announced it would shut universities for 10 months and send students to work in factories, agriculture and the construction sector to help rebuild its economy by 2012.


    We just let people take welfare of various types.

    They could re-clad this building and it'd still be the most hideous building in the history of the human race.

    It looks like a cool rocket and science fiction movies will film scenes there.

    It's hilarious that the Telegraph, in every headline, calls it the Hotel of Doom. North Korea should play with that silly juvenile propaganda moniker. Maybe call it the Hotel of Your Country's Doom.

    the spire of the death tower crested above the the morning smog like a vulture perched atop a dead cypress. how many times had i seen this visage? too many to count, the never ending nights turn into years before you know it here in the good ol republic of america.

    silently crossing zuckerberg square on my warthog, i couldnt help but feel a small amount of pride over what i had helped to create. the civil war had left us a smoldering heap of splintered microchips and femur bones, but united we had rebuilt this country in the image of selflessness as a salute to our spiritual leader. he had given so much, and in the final days of the war, ultimately his life, to ensure his vision of a perfect world would come to fruition. now in afterlife, he beamed mightily, and the sun stood in his shadow

    sacrifices were made by all, and many more would be needed to reach our goal. we were only beginning to realize our true power as the worlds sheppards, leading the flock of man into the untainted pastures of co-operation and profit sharing. our worst was the best a man had ever done, our drunken stammer, a gospel

    it wasnt always this good.

    i remember my apprehension initially, what we asked for would have made a stone cry. give up our children? our land? but it was for the greater good of man. the hardest part was getting over the taste of human flesh.

    once i was enlightened though, concessions were given as if asked to share the air that we are allowed to breathe. vitamins flowed from every fountain, and even the trees wore scarves in the fall.

    we are one.

    are they still listening?

    god these strange images and dreams have infected my thoughts exponentially since they started randomly monitoring them. i want to fill the ocean with live rattlesnakes. the mscan V3 chip has never had a malfunction in 11 years. i want my face to eat itself. flawless in its execution, children were now injected at birth.

    i hope they arent transcribing this, ill never be able to explain this to the firing squad

    So you'd prefer we were more like North Korea?

    North Korea is a single-party state under a united front led by the Korean Workers' Party (KWP).[12][13][14][15] The country's government follows the Juche ideology of self-reliance, developed by the country's President, Kim Il-sung. After his death, Kim Il-sung was declared the country's Eternal President. Juche became the official state ideology when the country adopted a new constitution in 1972,[16] though Kim Il-sung had been using it to form policy since at least as early as 1955.[17] After the collapse of the Soviet Union and a series of natural disasters, a famine occurred, causing the death of 900,000 to 2 million people.[18] Facing these circumstances, leader Kim Jong-Il adopted Songun, or a "military-first" policy in order to strengthen the country and its government.[19]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea

    Many outside organizations report that North Korea is a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship[13][14][20][21][22] with an elaborate cult of personality around the Kim family and one of the lowest human rights records ranking of any country.[23] North Korea is the world's most militarized nation,[24][25] with a total of 9,495,000 active, reserve, and paramilitary personnel. It is a nuclear weapons state, and has an active space program.[

    We should build an exact full-size replica in all 50 state capitals just to mock that crazy old tyrant Kim Jong-il.

    40 f'ing years to complete one building?

    See what happens when there's no union labor?
