  4. Basially killing Kim-Jon-Yun or however you spell it. Also, there were hacks into Sony's emails that were very harsh, bashing people like Angelina Jolie

  10. Potentially this could set a dangerous precedent and could also inspire lone wolf attacks.

  12. This is just sad, backing down because NK is pissed. They must really be scared of whats in the rest of the data yet to be leaked. Score one for terrorism :(

  13. I suppose people do negotiate with terrorists after all.

  14. This is so damn upsetting. Not only because people worked hard on this film, but because we're giving in to the demands of insane radicals. What did these theaters think was going to honestly happen? Yes, the hackers did some damage to Sony, but the threat of violence is pretty insane - do they think NORTH KOREA has troops on American soil? What were they going to do, bomb 1000s and 1000s of theaters? This is the most ridiculous degree of censorship I've seen in a long time. Hollywood is upset, and rightfully so. If we give into this, what else do we give into?

  15. While I don't condone these actions at all, it's not a good idea to piss off a nation like North Korea.

    ReplyDelete
  16. you're right it's very dangerous

    ReplyDelete
  17. Why is it not a good idea to piss off NK? What can they do? Other than cyber attacks carried out by agents in other countries, they are little better than a third world country. A large, but barely kept and maintained military, antiquated weaponry and no ICBM capability. Plus the fact that any move they made against us would be immediately shut down by China for economic reasons. Yeah, very little threat from NK. As for terrorist, there will always be terrorist Sh!ts. Bowing to them is the last thing we should ever do.

  18. So much for freedom of speech in this country.

  19. First they have a massive military, almost have nuclear weapons and are bats hit crazy. You do make a good point though about the economic circumstances. Second, it's not wise to aggressively destroy terrorists or take hostile action, because it breeds hatred, anger and a tendency to unite groups against the attacker. That and the US' tactics, whether they be drone strikes or use of white phosphorus again only breeds hatred against the US and has and will only further encourage terrorists to take action. Hell even sanctions are a bad idea against countries, because as demonstrated before with North Korea or Iran, it only hurts the people, breeds dislike against the US and allies and doesn't deter high level officials' actions. You shouldn't do whatever they like but aggressive actions are not a good idea.

  20. Aggressive tactics work. NK are not even close to nuclear capable, unless you trust videos that are at most paper mache and Photoshop. Their massive military is by all reports, even the countries friendly to them, underfed, meth addict, under armed peasants. White phosphorus? what are you talking about, other than a The Newsroom arc from season 2. That's a TV show, not reality. I'm Canadian BTW, but for the purpose of this discussion, I consider us the same, ie. we are brothers in arms. We have never used chemical warfare (at least that's been proven). And to speak of breeding dislike? Terrorist need no other reason than that we are not believers in their fairy tales to hate us. We have our own fairy tales (not that either have any basis in reality). Showing our superiority is exactly the way we should respond. And I don't mean 'superiority' in any other sense other than the militarily factual one. They are no threat to us in any way. They may as well throw rocks. Good luck against the largest Navy every conceived in the history of man (bigger than the other nine out of ten top nations combined) while crossing that ocean to get here. Good luck!

  21. Dude I'm Canadian. More specifically from Ontario. God I love your view on fairy tales. Still it's not wise to poke bears. And while I disagree with cancelling a film premier. In a hypothetical situation involving North Korea or terrorists, it's still not wise to be aggressive. Even if you have the world's leading military, you're not impervious. Hell the US has literally pissed off most of the middle east with it's brand of intervention. Not to mention it's own people in many cases. I feel that while you shouldn't be a pushover or allow abuses in other countries, that you have to be very careful with what you're doing or else you could wind up with a situation like in Iran. Simply put violence can only bring more violence.

  22. I've actually never seen the Newsroom. I was referring to the US' use of it in Iran.

  23. I agree in a sense. And glad to meet a fellow Canuck. It's not an easy problem we wade into here. I agree violence begets more violence. But we cannot be concerned with who we piss off when we are at the point when a statistical majority of the world is against us. Might does not make right, but we are at a point where diplomacy is too little too late, and we may as well work with what we have, not that diplomacy ever would have worked with terrorist savages. And to answer your middle question. Yes, we are impervious, barring a nuclear strike. No foothold could ever be gotten on this continent. Look at the placement of the Military Bases in North America. We Planned for this crap well in advance. Thanks for keeping civil in this debate. This is usually the kind of talk where it all goes wrong.

  24. In regards to impervious I meant from cyber warfare, biological or chemical attack, infiltration or bombing or other terrorist activity. In a straight up fight, Canada with the US would dominate. But unfortunately war is no longer the "gentleman's" game it once was considered, and political actors like terrorists or authoritarian regimes against the US and other countries often fight dirty and ignore the Genova Conventions (which actually say you should pay POWs, which I just find interesting). Agreed, I'm glad this didn't devolve into some ad-homenim ridden fight. Nice talking with you.

  25. Here's a bigger issue to consider. Take military action against NK and who does that bring into the fray? Definitely China and possibly Russia. All the makings of World War 3.

    ReplyDelete
  26. That is extremely disappointing and will lead to more trouble/threats. This is NOT a good thing.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The movie or its quality is of zero importance in this situation. It has been made clear, by this action, that our freedom of speech can be held hijacked; held hostage. That is an enormously bad precedent.
