Most of them are missing real tears. It was pretty funny watching so many of them weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth yet no tears falling. That place is messed up.

You're missing a lifetime of indoctrination, lack of knowledge regarding how much better life can be in other countries and most of all the bullet that would hit everyone NOT sobbing at that funeral

I don't know. It's obviously a cultural thing unique to NK. A lot of comparisons are made between the Dear Leader and a religious figure since there is no organized religion in the country. Also a lot of it is overacted in order to make an impression on their peers and, perhaps more importantly, government officials.

Yes there are no tears. Is it because their tear ducts are frozen shut?

Staged. We saw a clip where in the beginning they were all just standing there, then all of a sudden they started the wailing and such. Like they were waiting for the sign to start.

This.
So essentially it's like bipartisan America, but North Koreans only get the choice of idolizing the one leader, instead of half of the population hating him and half of the population loving him during a given period.
Oh, and less bullets flying around in teh States, usually.

When you are terrified of being reported for not being anguished enough, you can work up lots of tears. But I don't actually think that is the case here. I think the North Korean leadership has been remarkably effective at cultivating an inherent hyper nationalism in the Korean people.

N. Korea is a giant cult... "dear leader" and all. They are completely cut off from the outside world, no way to challenge what they've been told or to be exposed to different ideas or ways of life. I'd say we have it a little better off since we're still allowed to think and say what we want (more or less.)

North Koreans have been indoctrinated from birth to view the dear leader, his grandfather and now his son at the level of being likes gods on earth. I don't doubt that there are many who are worried about being reported for not showing adequate grief - but i wouldn't underestimate the fanatical level of love people felt for the man. It's completely to foreign to us, but completely natural to them.
National Geographic did an amazing documentary of life inside North Korea, it's on Netflix, or you can watch it online here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxLBywKrTf4
It's especially interesting to compare the footage from his father's funeral, Kim Il-Sung - same weeping crowds, even the same limousine hearse, i think.

The people of North Korea are so completely ignorant of the real world that they still don't know we've put people in space, or on the Moon.
There is no media that is not State operated. There are no books, no television programs, no news shows, no radio shows, no newspapers, no children's cartoons, no magazines that are not completely owned, operated or published by the State. From the moment of birth their entire world and their understanding of it is (literally) dictated to them. All of their literature, art, and media is State controlled.
If you think you could grow up in that level of continuous indoctrination and retain your independence enough to willingly dance on his grave? (assuming for the moment that you could get away with it?) then you're an idiot.
