How does NK prison standards measure up against Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia in your opinion?

Human standards.
I already posted one link. Want more? Fine:So... The gvt traffics in women, do they? Got a link that conclusively confirms this statement or is it super-extra-top-secret-classified? Hell, why didn't these women just call up you and Kreskin to get these answers.. They could have saved themselves a 12 year holiday in N.Korea.
There you go again, leaping to assumptions. Where does it say that these women were even in North Korea? You believe what NK claims?Talk about getting a grip... You and Kreskin somehow have this belief that these women didn't do anything, in any manner that even remotely invites any element of responsibility in this event.
- American Journalists Investigating Human Trafficking Sentenced to 12-Years in North Korean Gulag - Salem-News.ComNorth Korean Communists charge that Laura Ling and Seung-eun Lee entered the country illegally and are spies.
Sources close to the two journalists say they didn't even enter North Korea, and that they were snatched by North Korean border guards while on Chinese soil.
- I'd suggest before you start spewing your nonsense, that you get a grip and get your facts straight, idiot.'Til that day comes, you 2 can rail at all the inequities in life and how poor, wee little (insert name of victim here) isn't to be held responsible for anything that they've done...
The big irony in the very argument that you feel is appropriate to absolve these 2 women from assuming responsibility fro their actions could be used by Kim Jong Il to absolve him of his actions.... But I'm guessing that your logic will conveniently change when it comes to him.
Just as I thought, all yap no substance. Go back to the bottle, captain morgan.Why? I don't believe that to be the case....
....... is probably where you keep your 1 poor, lonely, little brain cell. lmao.........
... My ass...
Sp where's your evidence that NK doesn't commit human rights violations, their prisons aren't like stalags, etc.? Put up or shut up..... So, the short answer to my question about the degree of your personal expertise in commenting on the North Korean penal system is that you have none.. Ops, pardon me, you did mention that you read some accounts of 'survivors'... Wow - I guess that this makes you an expert, qualified enough to call a jail a 'slave concentration camp rife with human's rights violations and rape'.
In the event that you are not familiar, there is another word for these 'survivors'... That word is convicted felon.
Interesting juxtaposition, isn't it?.. If we use that word in your sentence: "Read any writings by convicted felons of North Korean labor camps"
Well, it doesn't have as much punch any more, does it?
I mentioned earlier that I don't suffer fools very well... You're really testing my capacity to do so.
And the defense of NK here at lil ol CC is being handled by an expert on NK? roflmaoI'll ask you the same question again... How do you know?
The reality is that you don't and as such, you are not in the position to judge their system.
Intrade has begun taking bets on whether American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling will be released by North Korea before midnight ET on December 31, 2009--which is probably more interesting from ethical angles than political ones. So far, 172 bids have been placed, and the closing price is currently 75, indicating a market consensus that there's a 75 percent chance Lee and Ling will be released.

@Gilbert:
There is the potential that you actually read these articles, but there is no way that you understand them. You want to believe so badly that these 2 poor women were randomly abducted in China you can't see reality... To get the ole-conspiracy theory pot boiling more, it just so happens that they are US journalists doing a piece on abductions.
... What are the odds of that happening...
For you, that must not appear to be any coincidence at all - but then again, I'll wager that you are a big target for all the bridge-salesmen in the community.
For the rest of the world, no one believes that they were abducted outside NK... The US State Department isn't rattling their sabres and neither is any other western nation... Yeah, I'll bet that you are completely dumbfounded by this lack of action, but here's a hint for ya: These women entered NK voluntarily - and everyone knows it except you.
I told you in no uncertain terms that I don't suffer fools very well and without question, you are the biggest fool that I have ever encountered.
The reporters were doing a story on the trafficking of North Korean women, so that somehow explains why they would willingly enter North Korean territory?
You cannot speak for the rest of the world, a simple query of google news shows that there is quite a bit of speculation as to where they were apprehended. Sorry pal, but North Korea's word that they trespassed on their territory doesn't cut mustard. The fact that you believe what comes out of North Korea aligns you nicely with the tin foilers.
Have you thought for a second that the reason the State Department has been subdued in criticisms of the case might have something to do with them working for their release and trying not to antagonize NK?
Do you happen to believe that Kim Jung Il controls the weather by chance? :smile:
lol You wouldn't know a fool unless you looked in a mirror.@Gilbert:
I just love it when a myopic, mental-midget takes the high road and provides info that they clearly don't understand as proof-positive for their position.

What is it? LSD? Shrooms? You must be on something hallucinogenic.And yet, it's more than enough to shame you, isn't it?
lol You wouldn't know a fool unless you looked in a mirror.
Have ANYthing that backs up your hypothesis that they were in NK? Have anything that refutes that NK kidnaps people or traffics in humans? No. I didn't think so. As I said, put up or shut up.
BTW, just because YOU say the rest of the world thinks something doesn't make it true.
Also, why would NK kidnap the average American tourist? Not much reason. There would be a reason if they found out there were a couple of people wandering around bent on exposing NK, though. I know it's hard, but try using your little cell to think with instead of using up its energy by spewing nonsense.
Yes, I did read a couple of the links I posted. The rest I just added from the list I googled. That was page 1. I couldn't find one that refutes the rest.
Forced labor is slavery. They are barely fed, and what they do eat has little nutrional value. Many of them die from malnutrition and starvation while forcibly worked. Many are beaten for lacking the energy to work harder during their 16 or 17 hour shifts.
Are there still people in here who don't get it?
If NK would go this far to stifle a story about its trafficking, there must be something to the story. What else is it hiding?
Obviously not.The fact that you exist proves the above wrong.
Again, you wouldn't know logic if it sat on your face and shat. It was a rhetorical question. It seems that there are entire countries that think the gov't is behind the trafficking. So jam my high horse alongside your wee, little brain cell.Typical response from one that has no footing in logic... Demand that others prove a negative. As far as the demand for evidence that refutes any notion that people aren't kidnapped or trafficked in North Korea - get off your high horse. There is not one single nation on the planet where this does not occur... You seem to think that it only happens in North Korea and what's more, that the gvt is behind it.
BSWrong again... I have a proxy statement that says otherwise.... (It's true!)
They are if they're near the border. Why is that so tough to comprehend for you. Oh, that's right, I forgot. You are mentally challenged, to put it in the PC terms.... So.. Let's see... Every journalist that ever printed a critical word of NK, every political leader that ever was critical (which is damn near all of 'em) and especially every narrow-minded yokel like yourself is a potential target.
Speakee English?Hmmmm, in all the years that people have spoken out against the NK gvt, in the global media no less, have been kidnapped?
You don't get much of anything.How come I never got the memo?!
Only English.You can read?
Why? Proof positive would be lost on you anyway.Next time, try reading the articles before you forward them as proof-positive to support your argument....
