I like the plot and setting so much (and i tell you so) that I decide to rewrite the story, retaining the setting and the plot but slightly modifying the characters. In a nutshell, my version is your story played out with somewhat different characters. I send you my version for your approval. I have no intention of publishing that story as my own, and you know it. My only aim was to try my own writing skill and hope to receive your comment.You do not agree with certain attributes I have assigned to my characters, for they do not fit in with your own vision of them and their background, of which you have not given any clue in your story. You try to persuade me that my characters are flawed as they do not meet with your ideas about them, and do not fit in the cultural setting you have in mind. We both stick to our guns, and you ultimately accuse me of deliberate plagiarism, knowing fully well my intention in ... less

Don said when asked about human rights and the 100,000 North Koreans currently held in gulags don said he thought they would benefit most from the summit meeting. Yes he did. He actually did say that. I bet they're cheering in those detention centers where torture is the entree every day. :(
Kim, don, vlad. Others? The goal is to prove once and for all whose is bigger. Whose "what" you ask? The "what" is an FITB and you get to do it any way ya wanna.

Denuclearize him and what leverage does he have? What idiot would do that?

Very harsh treatment including torture. Would y'all love to see all liberals/anti-King dons there? If not there where? What punishment do those who dare go against the King deserve?

We know Putin is very good at violating human rights of journalists/citizens who oppose him. I mean having them murdered is definitely a human rights "violation". Why is don so enamored of the monstrous tough guys whose records of human rights are ghastly? Is he going to follow their lead and mimic them?
D'ya remember when George W. Bush said that he looked into Putin's eyes and "saw his soul"? I'm not making that up.

So it seems the don is just as besotted with Kim as George W. was besotted with Putin. SIGH.

There are zillions of such opportunists most of whom can't possibly harm you in any way. It is the opporturnists who have control/power over you with evil intentions whom you should revile/ridicule/detest. Just a thought for you Kim trashers out there. What can she possibly do to you versus King don? :)
