I went to North Korea as a tourist (white, Canadian citizen, Chinese resident). I was ambivalent, as I feared that I simply was helping to prop up probably the worst regime on the planet at the moment. I went on the assumption that no money going in, and the residents never seeing foreigners, is also not helping. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Not abiding could get me in big trouble, which is my own issue. But it could get my guides in similar trouble, and I couldn't deal with that. So I was a good little soldier, went where I was told, and put my camera away when instructed. More than a month later, I still feel ambivalent.

I'm not asking to be mollified and told I'm right. I'm just...not sure yet.

Yes...but there's an important lesson in what he said. Anyone can do anything ^{certain conditions apply.} You're better than McGyver, too. All it takes is a situation where, if you don't solve the problem, you die. Then you solve the problem. Too many people are afraid of the problem. Embrace the problem. That's when you learn what you're really capable of.

Remember. Europe is perfect and therefore better than North America in every conceivable way.

It's a matter of allocation of financial resources. In much of Canada, policing is a municipal matter, but public universities do not pay municipal taxes, so the larger ones employ their own police service.

Are the students in your country so violent or lawless that you need a special force to control them within the university premises?

Why are European redditors so often arrogant, condescending cunts? Europe has good things. So does Canada. But to hear you guys talk about...Literally anything on Reddit...You describe Canada as a violent, dangerous hell hole where everyone is tortured by a constant fear that murder lies around the next corner. Get a grip.

Thank you
