That's a pretty clear distinction. And I totally get where you're coming from in critiquing that organization and how it's kinda specific to white people. By characterizing NK an 'adventure'...they are trivializing the real suffering that takes place. But I'm still hesitant to include EVERYONE who visits NK with the likes of that group. I still think we can make another distinction.

To be honest...I guess I'm trying to distinguish the friend I have described in post 149 from something like this organization. I still think there's function and a legitimate reason to explore the world and not paint everyone with the same brush as we would this particular organization. One can also think of the slippery slope. Theres plenty of countries that are guilty of human rights abuse. Do we isolate ourselves from Saudi Àrabia and China and Russia too?
