sounds like the insanely retarded christian scientists. I had a friend in high school that divorced his parents because they wouldn't let him go to the doctor for a broken leg.

I was originally intending to quip, "... a small and increasingly inbred gene pool, what with the reluctance of outsiders to join their ranks, and their reluctance to trust outsiders," but...Russell wrote:Yep, unbelievable but true, those morons are still part of the gene pool.
is taking it a bit further than I was thinking. At least the Dutch have the religious tolerance to afford these people their religious intolerance. Many other places, they would feel forced to emigrate.Russell wrote:My parental home is in a village where some of these people live. Fortunately, they are far in the minority.
And so it happened that one elder, who usually drove around in his van selling bibles, was suspiciously often in one part of the village where is son and daughter-in-law lived.
And he was there especially during working hours...
You guess it: he was there to bang his daughter-in-law.
Mysterious foreign co. buys Chongryon HQ
The Tokyo District Court announced that the winning bidder of the foreclosed Chongryon headquarters / North Korean de-facto embassy building was a foreign-owned company called Avar LLC.
(...)
So far, very little is known about Avar. NHK News reported that the company was located in Mongolia. There are also rumors that their could be some connection to North Korea so it will be interesting to see whether they let Chongryon continue to occupy the premises.

Unlike NK, however, it is their strongly protestant religion that enforces this.
And they don't watch Steven Seagal, but just old-fashioned pron.

Kim Jung-un, the youngest son of Kim Jong-Il, inheritied leadership of North Korea after his father's death in December 2011. Since he took power, he has replaced 44% of the country's top officials, a move seen as replacing his father's staff with a new set of aides that owe loyalty to him. He also met with China's vice president to discuss ending the nuclear weapons program this summer.

North Korea has its own restaurant chain. It’s good, even if the sea cucumber liquor and dog casserole are overpriced.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia—The restaurant’s fluorescent lights dim and give way to multicolored spots as an upbeat synthesized tune begins to play. Three waitresses—nearly identical with their red aprons, pale smiling faces, and jet black hair—rush onto the small stage, each clutching a microphone and dancing in unison as they sing the North Korean classic “Pan Gap Sumnida” (“Nice to Meet You”) while scenes from their homeland flash on a television behind them.
This is Phnom Penh’s Pyongyang Restaurant, part of a pan-Asian chain established in the 1990s that now has about 100 branches scattered across China, Indonesia, Russia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Nepal. Despite functioning like regular—if kitschy—restaurants, they are believed to be a part of Bureau 39, a secretive arm of the Korean Workers’ Party that acquires and launders foreign currency for the cash-strapped Hermit Kingdom through ventures as diverse as agricultural exports, arms sales, and methamphetamine production.
The great irony of the Pyongyang Restaurant chain is that South Koreans are some of their best customers. Cambodia’s original North Korean restaurant opened in Siem Reap in 2002 to cater to the busloads of South Korean tourists descending on the area’s famed Angkor Archaeological Park. Its success led to the opening of a Phnom Penh branch in 2003. There are now two of these North Korean–themed restaurants in Siem Reap and three in the Cambodian capital. South Korea’s Chosun daily newspaper estimates that each restaurant funnels between $100,000 to $300,000 in hard currency back to the Stalinist state each year.
