North Korean Pollsters: Must Suck to be an American

Yes Robert, and I would add: GET THE HELL OUT NOW!!! LOL

Seriously, Soccermom, what's stopping them?! After all, they constantly tell us that America sucks, Stephen Harper's vision of Canada sucks, Capitalism sucks, etc.

Now they have "proof" positive from a "scientific" poll in a nation perfectly in line with their value system what 5 places in the world are THE BEST to live in. So why not leave asap?!?

and they can take that little stop-sign toting twit from Parliament with them. She can be the first one sent over. Now, please. But would someone please feed this kid a steak first? She's looking a little pale...low on iron...

Amazing how happy you can be when someone holds a gun to your head.

LOL Frank Graves is probably providing the methodology for North Korea's state run polling firm XD

I think all the feminists and gay activists should move to Iran where they will finally be truly happy.

Then why is no one emigrating out of the USA?
If those commies saw the "Girls Gone Wild" videos I'll bet they'd change their opinions. I know they have seen them in the middle east along with as many bestiality vids the could search down. That's why they are rioting all over the Muslim world.

From the same people that reported that Kim Jong-Il shot 38 under par in one round:

So where did those American lackeys and running dogs the Canadians come in? 202?

My Korean is not so good.

Rabbit: LOL - I had forgotten about that golf exploit.

Here is the North Korean Random Insult Generator; it might be useful for telemarketers.

The Americans would be happy too if they were allowed to kill off all the frowny faces. Everyone would have a dazzling smile.

That would make for a good science fiction story, come to think of it.

Yep, that's the axis of happiness for sure, China, North Korea and Iran. Smiles all round.

They must be effin crazy to publish that, I mean, sure, laugh it up at the annual banquet of the NKCP where you're the only people in town eating a meal anyway.

I doubt the scientificy of this poll. After all, just *asking* someone in any of those five countries if they're happy with the way things are going gets you both the death penalty.

Hey, when you get around to discussing the Senate page business, my suggested thread title is:

Hey there page, don't stand by me

I kind of surprised the North Koreans consider China even more happy than their beloved Homeland!

Bitchers!

And Venezuela fifth,where they pay 15 cents a gallon for gas!

Cuba, I can't see as high as #3,aren't they still in mourning over the retirement of Castro? Probably Cuba and Venezuela's places should be switched.

btw, I'm an avid hunter. Anyone here know how the moose hunting is in those five paradisical Nations?

I find China being number 1 very interesting. Does that mean that North Koreans even through just word of mouth know that the Chinese are better off than they are?

Soccermom nails it, both times.

This is a joke-right?

What a bunch of racists the North Korean's are!

Not one African country and only one Islamic country, even excluding Islamic Amsterdam from the list.

Now that the “God” of the socialist left has spoken, PMSH needs to offer one way flights for all the Canadian socialist rejects to NK. Sort of like when Alberta’s Ralf Kline offered the unemployed one way bus tickets to anywhere in Canada out of the province back in the day. Those were great times to be sure.

North Korea is such a hell on Earth that even Obama hasn't yet dared to bowe to Kim. Osumashi Kinyobe might be able to deliver some insight as to why they dare to prefer China to N.K. in this poll.

This is a joke-right?

In a way, yes. In another way, no. (andycanuck, with a gun to your neck-spine you don't often say what you really believe.)

There is no doubt that North Koreans are alltogether beside themselves with happines.

Maybe the got a lunch or something.

Putting the US any higher than dead last gets you crushed under a steamroller while your family is forced to watch.

Of course lapdog North Korea would rate China the happiest. Even the Chinese look down on North Korea.

The US-ROK alliance should just invade China's pet country. Do it before the North Koreans get fed up with Kim Jong-Eun and eat him.

Just my quick thoughts.

Obviously some mistake.

They mislabeled a poll taken in Hollywood as one taken in N. Korea.

That is why they have mines , barbwire and strong military presence along the 38th parallel. To keep all those well fed unhappy people out.

Heather Malick, come on over.

Actually, there was a slight error in translation. This report is based on future forecasting. So, like The Rapture and AGW computer models, it relies on dubious extrapolations, cryptic interpretations and large fudge factors. In *2020* China and NoKo will be a paradise on Earth.

Canadian predictions included in the report:

Gilles Duceppe, on principle, refuses his gold-plated Canadian MP pension after Quebec finally separates.
Kathy Shaidle converts to Islam.
The PPG elects Stephen Harper Mr.Congeniality.

with a gun to your neck-spine you don't often say what you really believe.
Exactly. So why isn't North Korea number 1?

Are you sure the poll wasn't conducted by CBC's Ekos polling? They usually obligatorily produce similar results.

take a guess how many north koreans actually think according to the poll.

it's how they survive.

what would have been if Truman oked nukes again?

There is one thing I'm curious about. How can the US rank 203 when there is only 195 countries in the world?

Please see this:

http://www.freekorea.us/2011/06/01/tapdancing-to-the-graveyard/

All you smart a@@ people didnot the NDP run second here.

Now that's odd there are only 195 countries on the planet, how do they get 203 are there scientists climate scientists by any chance.
Makes you think what rank the US would have got 2 or 3 years ago.

peterj, well said. N. Korea must have a major problem with all of those oppressed Americans who try to make it into their country, and those are just the ones who survive crossing over the heavily fortified border with Mexico.

@ Yeti According to some people in Quebec there is 196 countries.

How did they 203 countries in the world? From the same socialist genius that thinks that the USA has 57 states.

Warren Z: The U.S. is precisely 8 times less happy than #184. That's the scientific consensus, so it must be true.

I say we send them a good farewell & free pasage to thier lands of Paradise.
Its doing a humane thing really.

Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.
~Joseph Stalin

Oz, exactly. My great grandmother was laughing all the way to the grave when she died of malnourishment in 1941 near Orenburg, Russia.

It is too bad, that as Robert suggests, that we are not able to help our socialists achieve their utopia to move to one of those countries instead of them trying to emulate their paradise here.

nice lefty regimes. perhaps we can trade them a Jack Layton and Olivia Chow for a disgruntled North Korean

"Of course lapdog North Korea would rate China the happiest. Even the Chinese look down on North Korea."

So the North Koreans know to suck up to China even more than to Dear Leader? Help me and andy @9:23 out Osumashi, we're authentically confused. (Well, he might be faking it, the smug "moron". I'm genuinely confused as usual.)

Must be true, Noam Chomsky said so.

I agree with the others who said that something was missing in translation. It was probably originally "which country would you be happiest to leave, knowing you'd never have to come back to it?"

Sorry, Black Mamba, I'll explain a little better.

North Korea exists solely because of China. China (and Russia) backed in the Korean War and China supports North Korea to this day. Indeed, whenever North Korea gets out of line (read: offends someone other than the starving masses within North Korea or the South Koreans), people ask China to reel the north in. No punitive action is ever taken against North Korea. China's permanent seat on the security council sees to that. China needs North Korea to remain as it is and the Kim dynasty needs the backing of the Chi-coms to remain in power (not everyone in North Korea is completely brainwashed but everyone fears what the Dear Leader can do to one and one's family). The cheap labour, the military buffer, the finger-pointing at the US, south Korea or even Japan all help China in some way, and it's not like North Korea will ever complain. China,in effect, owns North Korea. The average Chinese either reacts in horror when seeing a North Korean defector and his pathetic physical state, or buys them as a slave (usually women) or turns them away. The Chinese themselves believe they are better than other Asians (though I'm sure that strain exists elsewhere, too). As one can see from the comments after the article, even the Chinese find this laughable.

Thanks, Osumashi. That's extremely informative. Another reason to detest the U.N.

Good article. The Chinese may feel superior among Asians today, but the Japanese have held the title in the past and I doubt anyone would convince them they now hold 2nd place. Perhaps recent events in Japan might change that attitude but I have my doubts.

Did the people in the camps get to vote, or just the ones outside? Was this poll taken before or after lunch?

So, were the South Koreans or the Japanese number 202? Sorry, Canada, but I just don't think they hate you enough for second-to-last.
