It's hard to imagine, but I'm sure many of them are honestly grieving. It's a different culture. While I'm not going to shed a tear for him, I'm not going to make fun of those who do.

I just feel pity for them. The North Koreans have been completely brainwashed when it comes to seeing the world. They've suffered famines and government murder, but they weep for the man behind it all. I hope that somehow Kim Jong-Il's death will lead to positive change.
 
Copied from elsewhere. I loved the last comment

Quote:
Voices of Chinese Netizens

金正日可与毛泽东一样深受国内人爱戴,让国外畏惧。一人之死震惊世界!!!

Kim, likes Mao, is the leader who beloved by the people within the country but feared by the west. His death shocks the world!



金正日将军岁去世了,但朝鲜国内要团结一致

Even general Kim Jong II passed away, the N. Korean people should keep solidarity.



除了中国古巴没人会悼念他

Nobody will morn him (Kim), except China and Cuba.



让朝鲜人民过上好日子才是对金正日领袖最好的悼念!

The best way to memorize Kim is improving the living standards of the people in DPRK.



国哀中的朝鲜当务之急是维护本民族的独立和完整。朝韩两国人民都是朝鲜族,两国的纠纷是本民族内部的家务事,不应让美国插手。朝鲜应摈弃前嫌,结束与韩国的对立状态,把美军从朝鲜半岛赶出去。朝鲜可以不改变政体,但一定要在经济上与韩国互通往来。让朝鲜老百姓过上好日子才是对金日成领袖最好的悼念!

The most urgent task for DPRK is maintaining the independence and integration during the national mourning. The disputes between the South and North Korean people are the family affairs which should not allow the interference of the United States. And they should end the fighting situation cooperate with each other to drive the U.S. military troops out of the Korean Peninsula. DPRK is no use to change its political system, however, must interact with South Korea in the economic issues. Giving a better life for the people of DPRK is the best way to memorize the Dear Leader.



我们对人家粮食援助太少了,才出现在饥荒.

The reason why there is famine in North Korea is China doesn’t give enough food to them.



朝鲜稳定对中国是有好处的!

The stability of North Korea is good for China!



哭声一片,现代真正有引响力的人

Korean people are crying out, that shows Kim is the person who has the real influence in the modern world.



世界失去了一位反美大将。

The world loses a hero fighting against America.



没有金正日的死扛,美国佬的反导系统也许早部署在鸭绿江了。

The Yankees’ missile defense system would be deployed in the Yahu River for a long time if without Kim Jong II’s resistance.



金正恩同志,一定要hold住啊,。希望是位能给朝鲜带来新变化的领袖,。不管世事如何变迁,中朝是终身是好邻居,中朝友谊万古长青,朝鲜加油↖(^ω^)↗

Hold on, comrade Kim Jong-un! Truly hope he will be a new leader who can bring changes to DPRK. Whatever changes in the world, will not change the reality of the friendship between China and North Korea. Come on, North Korean people!



看看全球还是跟着美国混的国家过得都不错,二战后,西欧,日本,韩国,新加坡,以色列,台湾跟着美国混,现在哪一个不是强国?当韩国人玩着XBOX,喝着可口可乐,在海边冲浪时,北边的朝鲜人还在为小孩的饭发愁,哎,都是国家,为啥差别咋就这么大呢?

Looking around the world, can you find any countries who follow the United States are no rich since World War II? Which one is week among Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Israel or Taiwan? The South Korean people are playing XBOX, drinkingCoca-Cola or surfing on the beach while the people in the North are concern about the food for the children. Both two are countries the same nation, why there is such a big difference between them?
 
Bizarre scene on CNN right now as they carry North Korean coverage of the funeral. Extra microphone on the wailing mourners.

(and right on cue, CNN switches US viewers to an Anderson Cooper repeat while international stays with funeral)
 
I'll just leave this quote from Wicked here

ELPHABA(spoken) So you lied to them.

WIZARD
(spoken) Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of
things that aren't true. We call it - "history."

(sung) A man's called a traitor - or liberator
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?
It's all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't exist
 
I don't think so. I honestly believe that the majority of them loved him and really think that he is the god that they all should be grateful for. If you don't learn anything otherwise your whole life, you have no context to think anything negative about him.
 
The whole running out of town into the forest to gather bark to make soup... may color one's opinion of the great leader.

There will still be a group of people that keep their bullshit filter working just fine. Yes he was trying to brainwash the masses, but he won't be 100% successful by any stretch.
 
Look at it this way, even though it's pretty much universally agreed that Bush was the worst president since Nixon, there would still have been an outpouring like this if he had died in office.

My tears would have been real because then Chaney would have been president... *shudder*

Bush was just an idiot, Chaney was just plain evil.

Kinda reminds me of the old joke about the first President Bush... "Did you hear about the assassination attempt on President (GHW) Bush? The assassin missed, but the Secret Service got Dan Quayle 11 times."
 
Based on several of the most recent vice presidents, I always thought a vice president was the best bodyguard a president could have.
