How does "a starving populace fleeing the collapse of the totalitarian regime that enslaved and brainwashed them for decades" warrant using quotation marks around the term "refugees"?
pedantic as always adjl, but ill gladly clarify for you since you clearly need educating
a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.
since, in this farfetched scenario, the north korean government either collapses, or joins with SK, these people are not "forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster."
they will be staying exactly where they are, and suffering exactly as they have been. starvation, dehydration, exposure and worse.
ok peanut? we all learned something today.
I guess it works. Sounds to me like you're the one being pedantic, though, and using quotation marks is a weird way to indicate that. *Shrug* ---
