JeenaNorth Korean Envoy 'Drowned' in Moscow Pond: Reports
FuglyDuckThat sounds awkward.
Did they run out of windows? Or did the window overlook the pond?
ArbitraryValueThe funny thing is that this probably was actually an accident, but is Kim going to believe that?
I don’t know that I buy ‘just an accident’.
I’m not stupid enough to think that it was necessarily Russia, though. But seriously, how many people die randomly swimming. Particularly when they probably have some security standing on their every move?
Ask yourself how many North Koreans learn to swim well. This might be something he didn’t get a lot of experience with before leaving his homeland.
Are you saying Asians can’t swim or something? I don’t know what is you mean.
lumpenproletariatSwimming is often a recreational activity, North Koreans aren’t well known for their luxuries such as recreation.
I suspect in school they learnt how to worship eternal ruler and his family instead of swimming lessons as well.
So not too many opportunities for a nork to swim.
I don’t know much about North Korea geography (rivers, lakes) but where I am originally from, swimming was something boys learned when playing as children. It didn’t cost anything, you were just using local lake. So this assertion is bullshit, unless this is a cultural thing about North Korea.
This is North Korea you’re talking about.
You’re anecdotal evidence is irrelevant when talking about NK.
I presume you are well versed in North Korea customs, yes?
Probably about as much as you.
Probably. The difference here is that I freely admitted I have no knowledge of Korean culture. You on the other hand are an arrogant arsehole, dismissing someone else’s experience with no knowledge whatsoever.
jordanlundRemoved, civility.
The tech tree hasn’t been unlocked yet!
Do you know anything about North Korea? Stop trying to find racism in every comment.
I’m getting married to a person born in China and have been enveloped in Asian culture a lot more than most people in Western culture ever will. Trying to paint things with such a broad stroke shows your ignorance about regional issues and the utter smothering existence living under the North Korean regime is.
A group of people oppressed to such a degree does not leave much time for simple pleasures like learning to fucking swim and enjoying life.
But yeah sure, let’s be ignorant as fuck… all Asians… yeah that’s clearly what I meant.
No, I was not implying racism. Yes, you overreacted big time. Ability to swim is not necessarily related to the wealth of the population. In multiple countries it is lakes and rivers used for swimming so no, I genuinely had no idea what you meant 🙄
Lol okay, sorry about that. It feels like people are always to trap everyone else into a racism corner on the internet these days.
Historically, yes. Very few cultures are known for having a large populations of swimmers in the past, even the average Japanese civillian before the 20th century probably never learned to swim despite living on a chain of islands.
