Speaking of North Korea, I was looking at some pictures taken on a trip to North Korea, and the author/photographer made a comment that stopped me dead in my tracks.
Quote:
So I immediately... no that's a lie, I looked at a couple more pictures before it bothered me so much I had to come back to this statement. Now I know it's on the internet so it must be true, but I had to look up the footnote. The footnote is a quote from a book called, "Getting to Yes in Korea" By Walter C. Clemens Jr. Yup, that's what it says on Google Books. My only question is define young men, but that doesn't matter much. The book is on Amazon for $155 hardcover, $29.46 paperback, and $27.99 Kindle. So who the hell is this guy and does he know his shit? Quote:

"Too retarded for," or "the military can afford to put intelligence requirements in their qualifications" because there's no shortage of people needing a precious state job?
I bet even McDonald's rejects one in four applicants... and no, the pool of fast food applicants is not a representative sample, but the point remains. Turned down 25% is not the same as 25% are retarded. |

In North Korea the military is compulsory, so it's one in four of every male reaching military age. Because of malnutrition a lot of them don't.

Well that's true, dead is a pretty retarded pace.

Speculation is that one of their submarines may have just gone to that retarded place. If they've simply defected, I hope we're showing them a good time.

We were tracking them when they disappeared. I'm betting they are hiding on the bottom... permanently.

Maybe the crew were borderline 25%ers.
