News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

So you really think if they just opened up the border to South Korea and let people go as they please, NO ONE would leave the glorious nation of North Korea because it's how they want to live?

and you believe that every last North Korean would go to South Korea, supposedly if that is true, you base this belief on?

An adult's understanding of how people behave, and a parent's desire to give their children a better life...not a 21 year old's ignorant view of the world.

And of all things, you had to go to my profile, and adjudge me ignorant, based on my age. Well, I don't mind that. Some people are built that way to find illogical reasons to deny someone's opinion.

People here, of all the people, know better that wisdom is not based on age. It is rare at young age, but not impossible.

You're confusing "intelligence" and "wisdom". Wisdom is, without a doubt, based on age. It's something that can only be obtained through years and years of experience dealing with people, places, and situations in the world. While you may have more intelligence than an 80 year old Korean War vet, I don't think anyone would believe you have more wisdom.

A note on wisdom: A 21 year old posts advocating that we are almost certainly acting reactionary to a different culture.

Now if a 35 year old were to come along and outright dismiss him because he's too young, oblivious to how bad that would look to a herd of hackers, then that would challenge your assertion that wisdom is earned from experience.

My moneys on the 21 year old

but hey, I'm 25. You know us young fools, right?

I completely disagree with the original poster, but lets focus on his argument, not on a thing as ridiculous as the posters age. I'm 34, btw.

By that logic you must be even younger

For a minute there I thought you were talking about Kim Jong-un, but it turns out he's 28.
