Default North Korea left in the dark

I find stuff about North Korea fascinating. How do countries like this still exist in the 21st Century?

Because the world lets it happen. And there is little gain from sorting a country like North Korea out - economically and taking into account political opposition.

Look at Syria, Zimbabwe and all those other rats' nests. Some of them lie very close to home!

It's a good time to be a miserable **** of a dictator or head of a corrupt government at the moment.

They are so far ahead of us when it comes to energy conservation.

I'm pretty sure the Lentil munching retards would quite happily live like this and have us all living back in the stone age if they got away with it.

...and also in Dudley, but at least they admit that it is to save money and not the eco-bollox "save £500,000 a year on carbon emissions" from Worcestershire.

Yep - I suppose you may have noticed the radio controlled nodes apperaing on top of the streetlamp that have replaced the old photocells.

Still, I like dark nights.....it'll make people realise they are driving on sidelights and finally work out how to use the light switch on their cars

I bet it's an amazing view looking up from there though, instead of Down.
