| America's Year in Iraq |
| 03.21.04 (7:40 pm) [edit] |
|
I have always thought this my best blog entry and after the first year of Bush's unwinnable (and they do not want to win, BTW) war, it is even more relevant: Here it is again.... [b]Imperialism For Dummies[/b] It is amazing how history repeats itself. In the case of Iraq, America has, practically alone, gotten into a war of attrition with a highly disiplined and motivated enemy. America's attempt to enforce America values on a society that has been ruled by thugs for centuries is a total failure and the rather obvious attempt at imperialism a sick joke. The funniest thing I have ever heard was Wolfie saying "Each Iraqi family has the right to have one AK-47." Brilliant, they can use it to shoot at you. Nor has the capture of Saadam done anything to stop attacks of American troops (NB: In fact, they have increased. Nothing like being an obvious target...duuhhhhh....) who are doing duties they were never trained for in the first place. What is this going to do to morale? You guess, especially when the regulars go home and the reserves, 35 year old office clerks, take over. I doubt that a 35 year old with a wife and a couple of kids wants to get shot at that much. Thus, I will give America a little primer, taken from the British Way of Taking Control of a Country. 1. Drop any pretention of "saving" the place. If that country has nothing you want, you would not be there in the first place. 2. Go to town "A." Issue a proclaimation that all weapons will be surrendered in 24 hours. After waiting period, search EVERY house. When a weapon is found, erect gallows and hang every male in the house over age of 18 and do it publicly. Watch weapons STREAM in. 3. In town A, find some minority and take him to town "B." Make him mayor. Repeat processes 1 and 2 until you control every town in the country. 4. Keep all police and intelligence personnel. Double their salaries but make it C-L-E-A-R who they work for and if they fuck up, they'll be on the gallows just as fast as in step 2. 5. Establish a fair court system. Try everybody before you hang them. Start with your people as the judges. After 100 years or so, locals can run traffic courts. 6. Pay for information. It seems Bremmer knows nothing about third world countries. Want info? A beggar would sell out his mother for $2.00. 7. Educate and train people. They will put up with a lot if they see their lives improving. 8. Realise that some day, you will have to leave the place. Once you educate the people, they will want control over their destiny. You can continue to reap profits through trade. 9. Remove trade barriers. Third world nations never seem to realise that this impedes them more then anything. 10. The most important: Do not rule directly. The whole idea is to get as much out of your empire as you can. This is largely done with trade, not plunder. The British ruled their huge empire with only 50,000 people, soldiers included. So there is my Primer, Imperialism for dummies. |

Not a large entry this morning as the weather is again fantastic. When one gets sun on the Wet Coast, one must take max advantage of it. However, I could not pass-up commenting on this Lies article: http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200403/kt200403 2122023210160.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200403/kt200403 2122023210160.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... [b]Uri Leads GNP in 6 Key Electoral Battlefields The ruling Uri Party has cemented its lead over the majority Grand National Party (GNP) in six key electoral battlegrounds ahead of the April 15 general elections, a poll showed on Sunday[/b] [i][b] Let's look at bias and lies. First, the Dear Leader party is not the ruling party[/b][/i]. Comrade Roh has still not joined it for some odd reason. Figures don't lie, but liars will figure..... [b]According to the telephone survey, Park Chol-yong of the Uri Party was leading GNP candidate Lee Jong-koo by 32.4 percent to 25.8 percent in Kangnam A District, an affluent area in southern Seoul which has traditionally given wholehearted support to the GNP.[/b] Given that the poll has a margin error +- 4.4% these numbers are meaningless. More significantly, 44% have not responded. [b]The survey on Sunday canvassed 500 adults [i]in every constituency[/i], with margins of error plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.[/b] Look at the bias here: All constituencies were polled. The Korea Lies could only find [b]SIX[/b] Hannara-dang districts were the Dear Leader Party was leading. While the Dear Leader has pulled out all the stops in his media in the South the assure a Dear Leader Party victory, it looks like this will hardly be the case. My prediction is the Dear Leader Party, aka the Communist Party of South Korea (CPSK) will gain a few seats in Hannara-dang ridings but get most of their new seats in Minju-dang ridings. |

[image]kimchipig_13436143 64.jpg[/image] I wonder why the the "powers" that be in Korea make great claims and then do not follow through with them. Two days ago the NPA stated that it would not allow mobs on the street. Of course, in Klassic Korean style, it was all bluff and bluster. Personally, I think what Hannara-dang and Minju-dang did was really stupid but notice something here: the mob is railing against Hanarara-dang and not Minju-dang. Funny that, isn't it? The reason? Minju-dang is from Jeolla. Sure, they are totally corrupt, just as bad as Hannara-dang ever was but they are from Jeolla which is spearheading the "reform" drive to sell South Korea out to the Dear Leader while lining their own pockets. Also conveniently forgotten is that Uri-dang was nothing but a split of younger Minju-dang members who wanted a bigger cut of the pie without waiting for it. This is well known in Korea. The problem the over 40 people have is getting their message out. The Korean media is totally controlled by the Dear Leader as are the robots on the streets in Seoul. While the Dear Leader media tries to spin the mob as being of all age groups and backgrounds it is clearly not; it is 99% the Red Guard that the Dear Leader has so carefully trained since 1976. The kids on the street have no ability to think for themselves. I know this from personal experience having worked several years in Korean universities. During their "membership training" they are told what to do and think by their seniors. Any deviation from this and they will be waaang-ta, an outcast, the worst thing that can happen to them in Korean culture. Oh My Lies is now publishing some stories in English. Have a look here: http://www.ohmynews.com/specialpage/special_v iew.asp?menu_code=04219" title="http://www.ohmynews.com/specialpage/special_v iew.asp?menu_code=04219" target="_blank"http://www.ohmynews.com/speci... You do not have to look too far into their "reports" to see the xenophobic side, nor their blatant disregard for rule of law. -Like it or not, the impeachment, though incredibly stupid, was legal. -It is the mobs that are illegal. -Once again, Koreans are being rewarded when beaking the law. -The mob will get even more hungry now. I doubt that Korea's institutions are strong enough to resist it. |
| The Dear Leader Strikes Back! |
| 03.19.04 (8:18 am) [edit] |
|
[b]Massive Anti-Impeachment Rallies Planned Saturday Police on Alert to Block Violent, Illegal Demonstrations [/b] Translations time again. To the above: "The Dear Leader to test how much he can get away with." [b]By Na Jeong-ju Staff Reporter[/b] And Dear Leader Mouthpiece. D[b]espite the government’s warning to crack down on evening assemblies, a civic coalition will hold massive candlelight vigils around the nation Saturday to demand the impeachment of President Roh Moo-hyun be made void.[/b] That is good. There is a mechanism to keep Comrade Roh in power. Whether you like it or not, the impeachment was legal and constitutional. [b][b]Kim Ki-shik, secretary general of the People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, one of the 551 civic groups that allied for anti-impeachment rallies, said he expected about 500,000 people to turn out onto streets on Saturday. As many will go online to wage protests at major websites run by police agencies and pro-impeachment groups, officials [/b]said.[/b] PSPD is a blatant front for the Dear Leader and spearheaded the Race Riots in 2002. Kim Ki-sik was in jail as a Dear Leader agent until 2000. PSPD is the least democratic group one can imagine. Kind of like the Sturm Abteilung. [b]``This would be the largest night rally since the impeachment motion was passed last Friday,’’ Kim said[/b]. "We love mobs and mob violence as much as taking orders from Pyongyang" [b]Police were on alert after Hanchongnyon, an alliance of college student councils, threatened to join forces with civic groups to turn up the voice against the impeachment and the National Assembly, which passed the impeachment motion with a “yes” vote by 193 opposition lawmakers last Friday. [/b] Ahh, Hanchongnyon, the Dear Leader's front in the universities. Of course they are in as thinck as thieves with PSPD. They are going to test the water before they send out even larger mobs. [b]``We’ve decided to stage rallies nationwide beginning this weekend,’’ the alliance said in a statement issued following a meeting at Kwangwoon University in Seoul. ``We believe the impeachment of the president is an attempt by conservative forces to take the helm back with their power.’’[/b] In fact, you are completely correct. There are many in South Korea who see you and PSPD as just waiting to hand their country to the Dear Leader and want to stop that process. However, they did it legally, whereas Hanchongnyon and PDPD do not care one fig about law and legal process. Power is law to them just as it was for Mao and Stalin. [b]Police expect some violent clashes to occur in Seoul and other cities. The National Police Agency (NPA) said it has issued orders to police in major cities to have all available riot police get ready to prevent any violent and illegal demonstrations.[/b] This will be the real test of the South Korean state. In the 2002 Race Riots, the object of hate was Big Nose. This kind of tied the cop's hands since most Koreans hate Big Nose. In this case the choice is simple, law or anarchy. Personally, I thing the Dear Leader has so effectively infiltrated the power structures of South Korea he will complete his take over. [b]On Tuesday, police said they wouldn’t condone night assemblies by anyone any more, saying the rallies are illegal. The government backed up the police decision on Wednesday and said it will mobilize all possible means to clamp down on organizers of such rallies.[/b] We'll wait and see on this one. The government in South Korea is great at giving threats and not following through. What we have here is a test, the untimate one, of rule of law in South Korea. My prediction is the mobs will be so huge that the riot police will not be able to control them. [b]The authorities worry some organizers may attempt to spearhead illegal pre-election campaigning during the rallies ahead of the April 15 general elections. Hanchongnyon dismissed the claims and vowed they will hold campaigns against conservative and corrupt politicians through until the elections.[/b] Ironic, isn't it? Hanchongnyon is illegal and openly pro-Dear Leader. [b]Police see many of the slogans shouted and the messages shown on pickets and leaflets pit support for President Roh, while slandering the opposition parties which initiated and passed the impeachment motion in a vote unattended by pro-Roh lawmakers.[/b] Wait for the Anti-American slogans to appear, even if America has kept an extremely low profile during this whole affair. Soon after the Dear Leader slogans will appear. Mark my words. [b]The decision has backfired for opposition parties. The pro-government Uri Party is leading in all opinion polls conducted since the Assembly decision, while opposition parties are being drawn into an internal feud due in large to their falling public support ratings. [/b] I will wait for the actual election for this. I doubt the Dear Leader Party is doing as well as the Korea Lie's boosterism states. [b]Roh’s earlier remarks on the impeachment encouraging the people to rally behind Uri Party members and his desire to use the outcome of the general elections as a yardstick to judge the level of public confidence for him are the prime reasons the opposition parties cited for his impeachment. [/b] Comrade Roh is used to rule by mob and resorts to it when he needs it. What he and the Korean people really need to do is let the legal process work in order to prevent further damage to the economy. [b]The presence of police on the streets prepared to block illegal night rallies is fueling anger in many citizens and pro-government groups.[/b] This again illustrates Korea's lack of rule of law; protests after dark are illegal under Korean law. Don't like the law? Then change it. [b] Braving cold weather, hundreds of citizens have gathered in Kwanghwamun, downtown Seoul, every night since the impeachment and staged candlelight vigils for anti-impeachment[/b]. Again, Korea would look like more of a mature nation and less of a puppet of the Dear Leader if the lagal system was allowed to work. [b]Concerns of clashes between pro-impeachment and anti-impeachment groups are escalating with a coalition of war veteran and other conservative groups set to take to the streets to conduct their own demonstrations[/b]. Not much of a concern here. The real concern is a coup by the Dear Leader. [b]The conservative group’s concerns are centered on the atmosphere being built in society following the impeachment with the crucial general elections with less than a month away[/b]. And so they should be. Just look at the pro-Dear Leader bias in this article. The media is totally infilitrated and Na Jeong-ju is one of the most obvious examples. There is nothing is this article about allowing rule of law to work, nt a peep. Anti-Dear Leader, the people who actually know what it will be like in South Korea after the Dear Leader takes over, have no place to express their opioions. They also have little time to do so as they [b]ACTUALLY WORK FOR A LIVING[/b] unlike the pro-Dear Leader mobs. [b]The conservative coalition has held rallies in front of the state-run KBS and the MBC, the two biggest broadcasting companies, denouncing what they called biased reporting against opposition parties. The leaders of the opposition parties have visited the firm’s offices to express their concerns, but many of the firms’ executives and employees consider the visits as political pressure.[/b] And biased they are, totally expounding the Dear Leader's party line.. The head of KBS is openly pro-Nork and MBC is even worse. Both are shamefully racist organisations. In my opinion, Korea is in a power struggle and here is what is going to happen: -Since 1976, the Dear Leader has been infiltrating South Korea. These agents have spreading the message of Juche very successfully. -Anyone born since 1970 buys this propaganda. -Comrade Roh is the Dear Leader's man. He is selling out South Korea so he can enrich himself and the Jeolla Tribe. -The opposition knows what is going on but their old style keptoctracy is more transparent than Comrade Roh's new style kleptocracy. -The mobs will stay on the streets. They will not be touched. -The Dear Leader Party will sweep the elections. -Comrade Roh will be restored. -Within a year, the Dear Leader will order the end of the US alliance and USFK will depart. -Within two years, Korea will reunite under a federal system which will last until the next presidental election. The communist partyu will change its name to something like "social democrats" and merge with Uri. -In 2007, Kim Jong-il will be elected president of Korea. All political parties except the "social democrats" will be banned. Today's mobs will be like a Red Guard. -Korea's economy will crash and Korea will slide off the world map. Mark my words. This is what is going to happen. |

Greetings, Loyal and not so Loyal Readers, Again, sorry for the break. My job is now going full bore. I have stumbled on an incredibly lucrative venture to bring Korean nurses into Canada. The response of Koreans wishing to leave paradise is astounding and [i]pali-pali[/i] in a way only Koreans can be. Anyway, Here is a news round-up from my prospective. [b]Soju Prices to Rise[/b] Again the poor working stiffs in Korea get it in the teeth but I also see that beer prices will fall. About time something was done to encougage a slightly better poison. This is my favourite: [b]Police to Crack Down on Candlelight Vigils Civic Groups Vow to Continue to Rally [/b] http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200403/kt200403 1715165010220.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200403/kt200403 1715165010220.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... Gotta love this. During the 2002 Race Riots the KDJ did everything but give out free beer and hotdogs at the "Vigils." In true Korea Lies fashion, not a peep was made in regards to the events of 2002. In their editorial today, the Korea Lies states: [b]Tolerance of candlelight demonstrations in violation of the law which prohibits outdoor rallies after sunset is certain to encourage other interest groups to follow suit, thereby generating further social unrest. [/b] Love the double standard here. In December 2002 the Lies was encouraging "Righteous Anger" and actively encouraging race riots. Why, you may ask? Because the object of the hate was Big Nose. In this case, the contraversy involves only Koreans so "Vigils" are no in the cards. Count on the police cracking down hard on them. [b] Constitutional Court to Outline Impeachment Review Process[/b] What happened last week in Korea was a coup. Comrade Roh was trying to steal all the goodies in Korea for himself and the Dear Leader Party. Previously, Han-nara-dang was pretty good about spreading it around, except in Jeolla, that is, which is Uri Country. Basically, Comrade Roh was hijacking the country for Jeolla and the Dear Leader at the expense of Honam. The fate of Korea will be determined in the next month. The court's ruling will be a reflection of the back-room deals that are being made in Korea now, North and South. The Dear Leader will pull out all the stops it can to make sure his Party does will in the April elections and doubly so to make sure Comrade Roh stays in power. The Dear Leader will use his influence in Jeolla and the universties to his best advantage. The powers that be in Korea know this and that is why they are trying to ban the "vigils." Anyway, in my opinion, the Dear Leader will emerge victorious. At least I hope so because the frantic scramble of Koreans to get out of Paradise is lining my pockets nicely.

| Comrade Roh Impeached! |
| 03.11.04 (10:03 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, when Comrade Roh was elected on a platform or base racism I told everyone who would listen this: -Comrade Roh is not the messiah. He is every bit as greedy as any Korean politician has ever been and he is a willing and active agent of the Dear Leader. -Since then, Korea, a country for which I hold a great affection (for the working people, not the elite, anybody who ever graduated from uni and did not get a job or the pretend Yangban) had rapidly slipped down the crapper. FDI fled, tourism plummeted, confidence disappeared and unemployment soared. Well, now it seems that the people who build Korea with their sweat and labour have finally said [b]ENOUGH![/b] I am not great fan of the old system in Korea but it worked a helluva lot better than the last two presidents, both of whom allowed South Korea to be steadily co-opted by the North. The Dear Leader's plan has always (since 1976, anyway) been to destabilise the South, pin the blame on America, get the South to kick the Yankees out and then take over. Korea is a tribal culture. Basically, in this case, the Dear Leader was using the Jeolla tribe to deliver South Korea, and all its riches, to him on a platter. While Comrade Roh and his Uri Party Jeolla flunkies feasted at the trough, all in the name of "social justice." Yea, right. What was going on was just as much of a sell-out as King Kojong was. In the last two years, that process greatly accelerated. Norks were actively put into positons of power, most notably the directors of KBS and the NIA. Song went back as a test of just how far things could go. I have no doubt that Comrade Roh would have released him as soon as he could get away with it. Sanity appears to have prevailed and I am truly relieved that the honest, decent people of Korea, the soju sloshing, cigarette smoking taxi drivers and dry cleaners, the people who make South Korea what it is, have finally stood up to the xenophobic madness that overtook the place in 2002. I am confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the impeachment as it will not want to challenge the authority of the elected national assembly. I also have absolutely no doubt that future investigations and revelations will show what I have always known, that Comrade Roh was indeed a traitor, actively working to hand the country to the Dear Leader on the promise that the Jeolla tribe and himself would hold high office in a united Korea. How naieve. Comrade Roh and the Keystone Commies would have been the first to the gulag and the first at the gallows. His life was saved today. Goh Kun was the one semblance of sanity in the Korean political system in the last fourteen months. The country is in good hands with him. It is my sincere desire that the fine people of Korea, the salary men, the factory workers, the hairdressers, the shop keepers, the people that [b]MADE KOREA[/b] go out for kalbi and drink to their own prosperity and future. With Comrade Roh at the helm, they had no chance of either. |
| Sorry for the Break.... |

Sorry for the break, Readers. We spent the weekend at Grandmother's house on Vancouver Island. We are also being blessed with some simply fab spring weather.There is something about the West Coast; nice days are particularly nice and the scenery stunningly beautiful. Back to Business.... Korean politics seem to be hitting daily new lows. When Comrade Roh was elected in 2002, I told anyone who would listen two things: 1. Comrade Roh was just a much a crook as any other politican. "Reform" only meant getting Han-nara-dang's swag for himself and his cronies and more accurately KDJ's commie cronies from Kwang-ju which now call themselves "Uri-dang." 2. The economic fallout that would occur from this would greatly destabilise the country. I was 100% correct on both counts. Comrade Roh has turned out to be such a greedy fuck that everybody hates him except Uri-dang and Nohsamo, whose pockets he fills legally or illegally. Hell, even the party he ran with in the 2002 election wants to impeach him. Only the the Kwang-ju, oops Dear Leader, oops, Nohsamo, oops Uri Party has some respect for him which no doubt came at a very high price in bribe money. Han-nara-dang was an old fashioned money machine of the old order. However, the spread their largess around in ways that actually built things. Good projects or not, they built Incheon Airport, the TGV, thousands of kiliometres of highways, double tracked and electrified the Kyungbu railroad, vastly expanded the Seoul Subway, expanded the Pusan Port and many other projects. Now, since 1997 and KDJ's election, what has happened in Korea? What have KDJ and Comrade Roh really done for Korea? Nothing good and a whole lot bad. First, they have strong armed the cheabol into paying wages that would be considered insane here in Canada, a country with a GDP per capita three times that of Korea. The only major project that has been floated has been the capital move, which will result in a whole lot of Comrade Roh's flunkies making a killing on real estate speculation and no move at all. What really amazes me is the blind lemmings that follow Comrade Roh like the messiah and the crap they get into, none of which contribute anything to Korea. The latest lunacy is the "Japanese Collaborator" nonsense. North Korea has been using this ploy for years to destabilise the South. Why? Because every major cheabol has it's roots in the occupation period. [i]There was no business in pre-colonial Korea, [/i] not in the sense of making something and paying for it with money. Thus, any capital business in Korea in 1945 was in some sense working for the Japanese, therefore all had to be abolished and nationalised. I am not going to go into great length on this but NK's campaign of destabilisation has reaped great rewards and Comrade Roh, wittingly or not, has played right into it. A good example is the Chosun Ilbo. Roh's Mob, Nosamo, hates the Chosun because it managed to publish during the Japanese Era. BUT....[b][i]before the Japanese era there were no newspapers and even fewer who could read them.[/i][/b] Comrade Roh must be in fits over Samsung, which amounts to [u][b]30% of the Korean stock market![/b][/u]. Samsung is historically very unfriendly to the Kwangju, oops, Uri Party's support base and gave tons to Lee Hoi Chung. It also has roots in the colonial period. I am sure the Dear Leader is pulling out all the stops to get Samsung on the Hate List and in fact I have seen anti-Samsung protest groups. I doubt Comrade Roh can resist the pressure for long. I have often been accused of being a "Korea Hater" and nothing could be further from the truth. I loved the energy, vitality and optimism I saw in Korea when I first went there in 1994. What I despise is seeing that energy wasted in petty vendettas. Equally, the brainwashed clones that are pumped out of Korea's universities with a head full of cleverly disguised Dear Leader propaganda disguised as "nationalism." |

The persistant boosterism in the Korea Lies hit an absurd now low today: http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200403/k t2004030317535311980.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200403/k t2004030317535311980.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... [b]Chong Wa Dae official said he was not sure whether Roh had quit smoking or not, as the former human-rights lawyer had[i] repeatedly reversed his decision to quit before[/i].[/b] Funny! I suppose Comrade Roh should call up the Dear Leader and get ordered to quit the evil weed. And send a billion or two. Euros, not dollars, if you will. |
| Yet More Korea Lies Translations |
| 03.03.04 (12:28 am) [edit] |
|
With no preamble, here we go: [b]Working-level officials from South and North Koreas on Wednesday embarked on three-day economic talks in Seoul to discuss ways to further promote cross-border economic projects.[/b] Translation: The rotten Yankees are not letting us pay off the Dear Leader. We want to buy you off Dear Leader but we are still scared of you. Why don't you love us? [b]The North Korean counterpart Choe Yong-gon, vice minister of construction material and industry, shared the view that the reconnection of cross-border roads should be completed within the first half of this year.[/b] This has now been going on for more than four years. Here in British Columbia we could manage to blast another road to the Rest of Canada within four years in some of the most difficult terrain in the world. The Norks are only out for stalling and pay-offs and Comrade Roh knows it. Everybody knows it. It is like dealing with a brother on meth. Love this one: [b]In his keynote speech, Kim, vice Finance and Economy Minister, also said inter-Korean cooperation projects would pick up speed if the standoff over the North’s nuclear weapons are resolved. [/b] If your dirty Yankee Flunky Allies pony up, we will allow you to pony up as much as we demand, bootlicking slime, oops, fraternal brothers. [b]He further proposed that liaison office for direct bilateral trade be set up at the envisioned industrial complex in the North’s southern border city of Kaesong and a joint flood prevention system be developed for Imjin River, which runs through the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas.[/b] Blah, blah, bla-bla, blablablablabla. [b]If completed, one railway will connect the two capitals _ Seoul and Pyongyang _ and continue to Sinuiju, a North Korean city bordering China. The other line is to run along the east coast of the Korean Peninsula to the Russian Far East.[/b] Interesting choice of words, "If." I do recall that an opening ceremony was held on the South's side in Sept of 2002. Why "If?" Must be America's fault. |
| Funny thing happened on the way to the Blog |
| 03.02.04 (8:41 pm) [edit] |

I saw this on Marmot Comments, kind of gave me a chuckle: [b] Not necesarily a reference to you ... I was thinking more of the idiots that Kimchipig is having pissing matches with on his blog[/b]. "Sugar Shin" is the person that has been sending my flames, hate and viruses. The has gone under many names; his worst and most vile has been "seaofjapan." [b]Anyway I stopped going to the site b/c the tone is too hostile to Koreans even for me and, more importantly, at some point Kimchi stop posting any content ... other than the the derogatory names he's calling the people sending him viruses or nasty messages or something. [/b] Anybody who disagrees with what I write is more than welcome to stop visiting my site. In fact, I am glad you are gone because you do not want to hear anything you disagree with. As a young Korean male like seaofjapan, you see only the opinion your senior has told you, in this case that of Comrade Roh and the Keystone Commies. [b] I understand that this is probably hard for you to admit considering how much you like to look down on Koreans[/b]. Utter horseshit. I in no way look down on Koreans. However, I do look down on moronic little boys who love to use xenophobia to prove to the world how superior Korea is. Absurd! [b]comments I hear from the conservative Koreans that you hate so much[/b] You show me one place where I have [b]ever [/b] said anything negative about the conservative generation of Koreans. Far from it. These people, through their incredible hard work in extremely shitty conditions gave Korea the wealth you enjoy today. It is so called "liberal" dipsticks like Comrade Roh (an you) using xenophobia and racism to further the Dear Leader's in Korea that I hate. [b]The real issue isn’t the government budget but the wider political/economic fall-out from an American troop withdrawal. In other words, S&P may downgrade Korea’s sovereign debt rating; the U.S. may start hammering Korea alot more about its protectionist trade policies, etc[/b]. This has been my point all along and is in fact happening, and has been happening since Comrade Roh got elected. Nationalism and xenophobia are great ways of feelling good about yourself but they do not buy security, freedom or dinner for that matter. [b]I’ve said it more than once but the fact that Noh is an appeaser to the North makes him no more a Communist than N/ Chamberlain was a Nazi for appeasing Hitler (and Noh isn’t handing Austria and Czechoslovakia to Kim Jong Il just some petty cash and sacks of rice). [/b] As much as you dislike anybody who does not repeat the Nosamo line, I disagree. Comrade Roh has handed the Dear Leader a lot more than cash and rice. He has given him i[b]nfluence [/b] in South Korea's daily affairs. Prime positions on Comrade Roh's goverment have been given to openly pro-NK people such as the heads of the NSA and KBS. [b] maintain an interest in Korea even though you are back home in Canada[/b] I spent a large part of my life in Korea so my interest is not going to wane very quickly. I continue that interest because it is the average working stiff that is getting the shaft from xenophobic litte shitheads such as yourself. All your flag waving and xenophobia is not going to pay for a poor kid's school fees or make his life better. Quite the opposite. |
