One of these days N.Korea is actually gonna hit something and be that person that says "oh shit!" And runs away.

Protests WILL continue!

The issue is that now to my understanding, is that they are authorized to use lethal force in plain sight, unlike detaining them taking them away and then killing them.

Dude. I grew up going to a LDS Church and the fucking pressure to go to BYU and serve a mission for 2 or more Years is FUCKING INSANE!! Mostly the latter part.

To sum it up, you turn 18, 19, or 20 (Women get their Mission call ups much later in mid 20s) Must be Graduated from High school, then You and a Partner of same gender get flown to WHEREVER the hell they tell you to go in US or Internationally, to knock on doors and spread their Religion. With hardly ANY Funds and usually no Vehicles for your area and in a bare bones necessities residence.. with only a Bike. And dont get me started the Horror stories I heard from some of them about almost getting killed or almost shot at..

Its like a really slow psychological torture, because you're also extremely restricted on what activities your allowed to do in your spare time

I didnt serve a mission, but THAT was the main common topics that keep coming up from people and ex-mormons who did serve.

Once you come back, THEN you are pressured to go to BYU and STILL expect to pay for a chunk of it (your not allowed to work or receive additional money during your mission time). Which by this time all valid scholarship offers become Null and Void for other schools (except women who dont need to serve until later, so they have that opportunity).

Hell, I was told the church is supposed to pay for your tuition (a free ride), but that was false.

Even worse, I was told that the church itself is supposed to help pay in times of tragedy like a sudden death in the family.. for instance My mother passed when I was 16 and then my father passed a month later and were buried the way Mormons bury their dead which was expensive.

... The Church did JACK SHIT! My older sister in College was left with those bills and had to work a extra job to pay off that debt. She immediately left that church, and me pissed off after finally hearing at what they did leaving her high and dry a couple years later after I graduated... Basically Its a Scam and exploitation. The people you meet are nice, but after putting on a filter on what they say, its about 50/50 are tolerable and not complete Sheeple nor fully Red either and pretty lax if you catch my drift.
