| When all is lost, BLAME BIG NOSE!!!!! |

I got quite a kick out of this wonderful piece of (yellow) journalism courtesy of the Korea Lies: http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/tech/200512/kt2 005122916521411780.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/tech/200512/kt2 005122916521411780.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... I am not going to get into great detail but basically the article says; "We Koreans lied our asses off and got onto the nationalistic bandwagon (again) but it is all big nose's fault for not realising we are all liars.' Fine logic, that is, Captain, especially from a paper that specialises in publishing lies and half truths on a regular basis. This is a perfect example of the High Journalistic Standards of the Korea Lies: [b]``Most of the uproar has converged on Hwang, but the scandal has also given a black eye to Science. The journal will not be able to avoid its responsibility for failing to check the legitimacy of Hwang’s paper,’’ [i]said Park Se-pill, head of Seoul-based fertility clinic Maria Biotech.[/i][/b] Who the fuck is Park Se-pill? What the Lies consistantly does is come up with some adsurd claim and then phone around until it finds some idiot who will tell them the same thing. [b]Domestic embryologists assume Science might want to retain the attention-grabbing research results even at the risk of its time-honored tradition of assuring accuracy through prudent examination. [/b] BLAME BIG NOSE!! Science is in fact not a terribly respected journal and was founded by Thomas Edison so that laymen could get their ideas out. The fact is that Koreans have a reputation for lying like rugs and thusly have a hard time getting published. No other serious journal is going to take a chance of publishg anything from Korea that has not been duplicated in Korea numerous times. In fact, it is not even Science's duty to duplicate research finding, it is the science community as a whole. Sorry, Korea Lies, your lame "Blame Big Nose" line really does not impress much anymore. |

There is still now place on earth quite as insane as Korea. The one thing I have never been able to fathom is that Kim Joe-blow can go on strike, still get paid and wail on cops with various deadly weapons and then go home like nothing happened. To whit; http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200512/kt200512 2717111310440.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200512/kt200512 2717111310440.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... [b]President Apologizes for Farmers' Deaths[/b] [b]Lee Kee-mook, chief superintendent general of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, resigned, taking responsibility for the violence inflicted on the activist farmers.[/b] This is so absurd it hardly warrants a mention. Note what these idiot farmers even exproted their viloence to Hong Kong and then pulled their indignant routine on the police there, which will not work. [b]``Had it not been for the violent protest that even involved iron bars, such a tragedy would not have occurred,’’ he lamented. ``The government will make efforts with civil society to map out proper measures to change the demonstration culture of the country[/b] I wonder how this ever came to pass. If Korea does indeed wish to stop being the laughing stock of Asia it needs to deal harshly with people who arrive at demonstrations armed to the teeth. Being a "civil" society does not mean that you can attack anybody you feel like. What the Korean government has to do is make it public that violent protests will not be tolerated. It is not democratic in any way to try to enforce your agenda on anybody through wailing one some poor 19 year old conscript. |

I have always wondered why Korea and Koreans in general were and are so obsessed with being "first." Being so usually takes a long process of learning and research. Korea is indeed first in a few things such as LCD panels and DRAM chips but none of the technology came from Korea. Korea was obsessed with getting its first Nobel Prize. How did they get it? Well, they illegally bribed a blood-thirsty dictator a billion or two to get it. It is interesting to actually seem some introspection in Korean society now, however I don't see it lasting for long. Have a look at some of the half truths here: http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/opinion/200512/ kt2005122317205854040.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/opinion/200512/ kt2005122317205854040.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... [b] Is the cloner solely responsible for the whole fiasco, however? The episode has revealed the painful vulnerability of our society, which focuses on only results rather than process, and a quick, often ostensible, one at that. Were we not seeking a national catharsis in the nearly unbelievable achievements he claimed and [i]which were endorsed by global authorities?[/i] What did the amateurish administration do to prevent this from becoming an unusual scientific fraud except for being overexcited and encouraging the people to do likewise?[/b] Look at the bit in italics. It is attempting to again blame Big Nose for Korea's failings. I have something to tell you, Korea Lies: Hwang's paper was published. That does not mean his lies were endorsed but simply held them to scrutiny by the international science community, which started asking the questions SNU should have asked to begin with. This is pretty good: [b]Left behind is the general public, who has shown signs of mass hypochondria with the development of this scandal. [i]The only consolation is they might have learned not to become overly emotional for good or bad reasons.[/i] They only have to watch reality more straightly and calmly.[/b] This comes from a paper that exactly three years ago was enciting mob violence towards foreigners. |

This came from the Donga http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2005122126478" title="http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2005122126478" target="_blank"http://english.donga.com/srv/... Korean WTO Protesters Face Jail [b]Hong Kong police who charged 11 Korean WTO protesters for participating in an illegal protest are expected to add charges including assaulting police officers. [/b] I have some news for you guys: in no other place in the world would [i]anybody ever [/i]get away with assualting the cops with iron bars and molotov cocktails. But wait, it only gets better. [b]This matter may last for quite a long time because it is expected the 11 detained protesters will deny the charges. [/b] Now there is a good one. They were on live TV all over the world. The second I saw it I knew they were Koreans because only Koreans behave so insanely at protests. [b]They may be released next year because Hong Kong courts hold a trial after a certain period of time when a suspect pleads not guilty. [/b] Not bloody likely. The minimum sentence in Hong Kong for this sort of thing is five years. [b]Huh In, the vice chairman of Korea Federation of Transportation, Public and Social Service Workers’ Union, and leaders of Korean protesters said in a press conference held in Hong Kong on the same day: “The protesters were arrested on illegitimate charges. If they are detained for long, we will stage a massive protest again here in Hong Kong.” [/b] What a fucking retard. How the hell would this retard react if a group of foreigners entered Korea and attacked the cops? The KTF is run by the Dear Leader. by the way. Illegitmate charges? Since when is it OK to go to someone else's country, attack the cops are commit a ton of property damage. What the hell is this guy smoking anyway? Would anybody is his right mind for one second think that HK will ever let Huh or any of his rioting buddies back into the place. Not bloody likely. [b]They are unlikely to be released within this year because of the added charges. [/b] Try five years if they are lucky. Can't do the time then don't do the crime. [b]A hearing held by the Kwun Tong court late in the evening of December 19 was not to hear cases, but to decide whether the Koreans should be detained. [/b] It is called a bail hearing, dumbass. [b]That explains why the police accused them of participating in an illegal protest, a relatively clear charge. [/b] Wow, this guy is really a rocket scientist, isn't he? [b]The additional charges may include assaulting police officers and destruction of property. The police seem to have acquired evidence of those charges, including photos of protesters in the act. Cho Hwan-bok, the South Korean consul general in Hong Kong, said, “The detainees and their lawyers are likely to deny the charges.” [/b] The whole world saw you do it you idiots. Some say that as the violent demonstration was staged at night on December 17, it would be difficult to identify protesters in photos.” [b]That means that the 11 detainees could be released after being fined or put on probation and then deported back home. They could also be acquitted for lack of evidence. [/b] In your dreams, buddie. |

I rarely agree with much the Bush adminstration does but when it comes to North Korea, I believe they are 100% on track. If there is one regime of totally repressive scumbags it is the Kim regime in Pyongyang. That is why I always wonder what drug their "brothers" in the South (patsies is a better term) are doing when I read something like this: http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200512/k t2005121516432811950.htm" title="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200512/k t2005121516432811950.htm" target="_blank"http://times.hankooki.com/lpa... I do not fisk much the Korea Lies writes much anymore because most if it is not even useful for wiping my butt after taking a dump but this is simply a doozer: [b] U.S. Ambassador Alexander Vershbow’s recent labeling of North Korea as a ``criminal regime’’ went beyond the bounds, National Assembly Speaker Kim Won-ki said on Thursday[/b] I have some news for you Won-ki (Wonky?): Kim Jeong-il is muderous thug who keeps your fellow Koreans in complete bondage, starves, enslaves and murders them. There is huge proof in this. By the way, look at the picture on the right: it is the Usual Commies, the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, all of whom were in jail until 2000 because they were stooges of the North. Now they are The Dear Leader's front in South Korea. [b]His remarks were not appropriate for an ambassador to South Korea, which is endeavoring to stabilize peace on the Korean Peninsula.’’ [/b] More fantasy: If you can show me one example of appeasement working I am all ears. NK knows exactly what it is trying to do: separate you from your American ally so they can politcallly take you over without firing a shot. Remember how your lovely ancestors sold out to Japan without firing a shot? I didn't think you did. What was all America's fault, too, right? [b]In Philadelphia on Dec. 12, U.S. President George W. Bush said, ``North Korea is a country that has declared boldly they've got nuclear weapons, they counterfeit our money, and they're starving their people to death[/b] Yup. Whoever wrote this for Bush was right on the mark. [b]In Virginia on Dec. 9, Robert Joseph, undersecretary for arms control and international security of the U.S. State Department, said, ``This regime in the North cannot last that much longer. How much longer it does last will be in part dependant upon how much assistance it gets from outside, including from South Korea and China, but also other parties. It is a regime that has no future, I would argue.’’[/b] Right on the mark, completely, totally, but let's not let reality get in the way of our everlasting desire for reunification and brotherly love. |
