Why do you assume the government tour guide of North Korea would be honest? I'm sure it was a fascinating tour, but not one rooted in accuracy.

- mildtrepidation 13y agoIn a place with such tight information controls, why either of you would assume any of these people had any idea what the lives and information access of the others were like is beyond me. I don't think it's any kind of contradiction to suggest that both of these things are true: That many people aren't given a choice, and that those who are do not necessarily know about the fact that others are not.
