North Korean Embassies - are the staff very trusted hardliners or are they kept on a tight leash?
Are the staff from North Korean embassies kept on a tight leash in the other countries or are they trusted hardliners? Why do they trust these people but not their ordinary citizens?
Why did they remove this question?

Maybe it was confrontational? I mean, why get confrontational? Eh? Eh? Tell me that? Or else? Eh? Or do you wanna make something of it? Eh? Why don't we take this outside...

(no seriously, i think it's because it's NOT a question, it's an answer written as a question - you've given all your beliefs in advance, your foregone conclusions, your prejudgements - i don't think anyone objective would write a response to it - probably just other non-north-koreans looking to make statements about the place rather than ask questions!)

here's an example - hypothetical, not aimed at you, since i am not immediately familiar with what you've written to date, but let's say hypothetically i was writing a question aimed at someone who takes his wife to hooters...

it would be:

Is taking your wife to hooters an act of incredibly bad breeding, or is it just an act of total boorishness?

see what i mean? you're not actually asking a question - you're making a statement

this is sometimes referred to as a "rhetorical question" - meaning that it is just an act of rhetoric, not a question seeking a genuine answer.

It was not a rhetorical question, it was a genuine question. I only stated the common assumptions to perhaps channel answers.

Though I've asked lots of wierd questions with many ways of saying it and this is the first to be removed, it's also my first politically sensitive.

I think you might be offending about N. Korea that's why they remove your question

Well, I'm sure there's been much worse questions asked.

Also N Korea is frowned upon by most of the world, so I don't think it'd have authority over Yahoo Answers.
