How many of you do NS while at work? Isn't it great to get paid to blab?

Most people here are too young to work, unless it's selling T-shirts in the mall. Or operating a lemonade stand.

We have a closed server at work so we can't get on the internet, except for the company site.

I'm part owner of the business I work at, and sit in front of a computer. I spend far too much time here. I often turn my monitor off to keep me from distractions, whether it be NS or something else.

And unfortunately, they keep him in a little room and he thinks it's real. It's actually how he runs the country. Here's his nation:

The Rogue State of North Korea
"We hate America"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights:Outlawed
Economy:Imploded
Political Freedoms:Outlawed

Location: Asia
The Rogue State of North Korea is a large, starving nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its cynical population of 75 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and childrens kites are regularly brought down by flak cannons. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. North Korea's national animal is the Capitalist PIg, which hovers on the brink of extinction due to massive deforestation, and its currency is the Worthless to the rest of the World.


North Korea is ranked last in the region and last in the world for Happiest Citizens.

When I worked at the ticket office in college I used to. But it's not possible with what I currently do.

Yeah, I do, although it's harder to do the forums since I rarely have blocks of time free at work to be surfing around on here and replying to people.
