Anyone know what is the government's justification for not invading north korea seeing as north korea breach humans rights ?
When a country is not a threat to another one, nobody gives a shit (besides the people who generally care about humans of course).

Do we think if north korea had a bunch of oil or some other resource the government would all of a sudden start to find threat potential from north korea?
The US has not done more to deal with North Korea because China is NK's ally and China does not want "the west" controlling the entire korean peninsula as they think it is an strategically significant place. For some reason China doesn't have any issues with how NK is being run. If it was not for China the NK would have been dealt with (aka invaded) a long time ago.

I don't hate the various governments, that would be giving them satisfaction. I just have a hard time agreeing with most decisions made by this 'overlapping force'.

Depending on how the country run their currency.

If the nation currency is backed by USD, it means the entire country works for the benefit of US. Then US will protect it rather than invade it.

If NK had a bunch of oil China would have invaded it long ago like they did all the other surrounding territory.  China has invaded it's neighbors in every direction in the last 100 years.

US can't take out NK if there is no NK to begin with.

If NK was next to Russia, Russia would pull a Ukraine...
What does Russia have to do with Ukraine?

US government should be loved by their citizen.

Free education, cheap housing and social safety net compare to the rest of the world.


Who gave you the idea that our education is free.  I have to pay 2% of my home's value every year in property tax.  When I built the home I had to pay almost 1/3 of my year's income to pay for school permits.  Sales tax is 1/10 of my purchasing power and more than 1/2 of that goes to schools.  And then my income tax is also funneled to schools.  My business license, my medical license, recycling fees - all go into the state's general fund which more than 1/2 goes to schools.  hahha, free.

Just like giving blood is free too  Roll Eyes

Cheap housing?  Um, adobe hut in Vietnam or Mexico is way more affordable than any slum house in the poverty belt of the US.

Safety net - yeah well that's used to buy votes rather than help people.  I agree it should be there.  I don't think it should be a lifestyle which many people are making it into now.

Nobody should have the moral authority to kidnap someone at gunpoint and throw them in a cage.

Oh I don't know about that.  I indirectly know several people who I feel comfortable having the gov do this to.  Are referring to people who have this done without due process?

If a man is raping a 6 month old baby, yeah I got no problems with the gov throwing him in jail.

If a man rapes a 6 month old baby (or initiates force against someone) anyone is morally justified in self defense or making things right with the victim.

An entity should not have moral authority just because they are "the government".

I'm having a little trouble understanding your response, but are you telling me that the parents of a raped baby have the right to "make thing right" for their child?  Being a father, I would love to take the rapist out to my garage and use my medical knowledge to put him through 500 hours of torture, but that doesn't seem very democratic.  Seems kind of vigilante.

In my country, the US, assuming things worked correctly, the people we elect make laws which the general society agrees on.  Murder is bad.  Rape is bad.  Stealing is bad.  So on.  We give consent to the government to punish criminals. Governments don't have the right per se, it is given to them by the people.  If the people change their mind, for example on smoking marijuana, we change the laws so cops don't arrest us now for that offense.

But yes an out of control government thinks it can do whatever it wants.  In some countries in this world the governments can't be reasoned with by their citizens because 1 tank kills 10000 people.

Free indoctrination, cheap rounding up of the poor to be kept away from the rich people and training people to be dependent upon the government so they will grant that government more power.

Many US comradescitizens love the US government.

I don't inherently 'hate' government. Government can be good and government can be bad. Taking a general emotional stance like that is a bit silly.

I never used to dislike the US Government that much until the people in the US put the rest of us in the world through two gruelling terms of Bumblefish Bush. This latest Toby character isn't much better either, spineless prick.
