15 years for a poster is not a life lesson. It's polticial bull****

I'd like to see you going a little over the speed limit in your 951 and instead of a couple hundred dollar speeding ticket, 10 years hard labor. Life lesson??

Was ho not aware of where he was?

I never said he WASNT an idiot. Won't catch me in North Korea for any reason. But I wouldn't call it a "life lesson". Nor would I bash him for crying when your sentenced to 15 years hard labor in North Korea. That's all!

In Virginia- I could get reckless driving for doing 15mph over the limit. Several hundred in fines, higher insurance rates. No one goes to jail.
Catch me at 100- 120- I'm probably going to jail for night or two. Higher fines- license suspended/pulled.

I agree- It's political BS.

I guess I could haul my car to NK and get 15 years- or some ISIS controlled territory, and have explosive cord wrapped around my head and detonated to behead me.

I could also go to some mid eastern countries- steal something- and get my hands cut off (or so I've heard).

Point is- I have a relative idea of the consequences.
Even without pushing buttons- there is not much to gain by visiting certain places- and much to lose. That's his lesson. I've got my own lessons in life to learn- but- his lesson is not one of them.

Fair. Nope.
and- I'm staying in Virginia.

Welcome to America. Land of the free. It takes some people to leave country to understand how valuable our values are...

no sympathy for the dumbass and embarrassed as an American that he was crying like a ***** for all to see.

OK, don't steal in North Korea.

Don't sell bibles in Saudi Arabia.

Don't import drugs into Turkey.

Don't take pictures of military installations in Russia.

Don't publish criticism of the government in China.

The list goes on forever. We forget the freedoms we are have because our founding fathers wrote a constitution and designed it as the final law of the land. Few countries on the planet have the freedoms we do.
