NPR is definitely right about the food. It's the first thing any North Korean defectors mention when they get interviewed. The other thing is all of the advanced technology that everyone has access to. Private ownership is wicked cool to them.
Not sure if the other points you made are from NPR but not exactly how I know it.
For sure, those that wanted out, got out. But the "want" could have stemmed from the fact that the family has no food and the elder son/daughter simply has no choice if they want their younger siblings and parents to live on. They "want" to get out but the "must" get out. Others "want" to get out because their family in North Korea dies and the only family member they have is someone who got out before. Without knowing even if they are alive they "want" to get out because they "need" to get out. The acceptance of risk is not so much a conscious choice rather more of an absence of choice.
My experience with the younger generation is also different. I would say the majority of South Koreans all want a unification under South Korea rule, including every generation. The younger generations may not have the direct ties to the war but I think every young Korean still wants it to happen. If anything I think you will see the younger generation more adept at progressing unification than the elder generations that still have the deep rooted resentment and hate.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. So should my next thread be about Fuente taking the team to the playoffs?
That's awesome. The place where I ran an intramural program had a small college but the Grad program was actually the largest part of the institution. As a result we had a decent amount of guys enrolling that had just finished up playing college ball. The team I played for was a little bit of an older/staff team. As a result we would have our friends in the admissions office give us a heads up when we had a new D1 guy enrolling so we could get the jump on recruiting. It was a small league but extremely competitive/cutthroat.
In particular I remember on one occasion we had a guy enroll who had been a WR at UNC and then had been playing arena ball for a few years. We always made sure to explain the rules thoroughly but in his first game with us his instincts kicked in and he stiffed armed a guy in the face so hard he busted his nose. Good times those were.
If I remember correctly, he was named after a literary figure of some sort... not that that makes it any less unique of course. NPR actually did an interesting piece on it: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5368495
Yeah I would say nearly all, if not entirely, of the people I know go to see this. Even 5 of my employees have gone. 2 Australians went first, then next year an American and 2 Brits went.

He's rehabbing in FL and has nothing do the with VT docs or rehab team. Been there since he declared.
Here's Bitter's article that mentioned it: http://www.roanoke.com/sports/columns_and_blogs/blogs/andy_bitter_virgin...
That's essentially what happened to JJ
Once Fuller gets a clean bill of health
Anybody have any insight into how this works? Is he still rehabbing in Hokie facilities, is it the Hokie doctors/trainers that give him the full go/clean bill of health? or is he now at one of the 'Scouting Camps' training?
Well that's over:
Uh, ok. Haters gonna hate. #MoreHatersPls
UVa starts up their NCAA run today and they're busy running a year old article about the VT Offensive Line?
Obsessed, much?
I guess Charlottesville is reliving the year that we beat them in football with that offensive line.
They at least gave Bitter his credit. Now does Bitter get paid by that newspaper?
That's a small town paper looking to fill a 1/2 page. They could've at least given an 'originally published on' where they give the snippet that Bitter reports for the Roanoke Times.
Three quick observations from being at the game:
1) Buzz got a huge cheer when he walked on the floor during pre-game, I don't know how many coaches in College Basketball get that
2) It took the crowd a little bit to get into it but man for the dunk to end the first half, Devin Wilson's rainbow and all of the last minute of regulation and OT that place got LOUD
3) After reading all of the "sauces" linking Buzz to other jobs I had started to get worried, then I watched his post game on-the-floor interview and he talked about how this postseason experience is gonna help them come the start of non-conference play next year, definitely did not sound like a guy who was leaving
Like LSU fans chanting "HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM" when they came to Lane in '02.
I have cash on the line for a few brackets and I still only put in 5 minutes of thought into. The moment I start thinking is the moment my bracket is burned.
There's a reason why it's nicknamed "The Daily Regress"
