Some truths in this video: "Buying guns to kill each other and children. Some people complain about the guns."

"Living on the streets of modern day America." "People pass by, not caring." -The homeless population of as 2011 was 636,017 (endhomelessness.org. Many people do walk by not caring. Because of how common homelessness is, many feel that there's not much they can do and helping out one person is not worthwhile.

"The houses blow down very easily." -Our houses aren't the strongest. If you look at any apartment complex being erected, you'll notice the walls are extremely thin and the structure would be decimated if a tornado, hurricane, etc. were to hit it.

I'm not saying N. Korea is better than our country by any means. I know that they're way of life has many perils too. What I'm getting at is that we shouldn't pretend we live in paradise. While there are many benefits of living in our country, there are some deep rooted downfalls as well.
