okay tell lus where it should go please. Most items I post are from JAPAN TIMES or JAPAN TODAY so I don' t understand whats wrong.

There does not seem to be a history forum on here-- Or if there is I cannot find it? If japanese bases are being used surely it is connected with those who live in JAPAN

Normally these kinds of discussion are posted under the general thread.

Take a look at the threads that are actually posted in the living in Japan forum its mostly about actually living life in Japan. Its main purpose is for people to be able ask about others about life in Japan and to answer those questions.

Well, there's General discussion where you can post threads Japan-related or not, and also, since your sources are often Japan Times and Japan Today there's Japan News & Events forum, which also is more suitable than this forum.

[dogsbody70]

"DEATH DECAY ATOMIC BOMBS USA KAMIKAZI NUKE NK BEST KOREA EVUL"




"What?!"

So it seems the North has threatened to fight a "sacred war" should the exercises go ahead. Nothing new there of course as everytime the US and SK conduct such exercises the North threatens something.

No incident so far.

I heard the F-22 is involved in the exercises! As much as I hate war.... its hard not to appreciate such a machine.

Anyway... for anyone that is interested in North Korea or the Korean peninsula situation... I stumbled upon a book on the net that looks interesting.

Titled "The cleanest race: How North Koreans see themselves"

The premise of the book is that political thinkers, politicians and journalists have it all wrong. That Communism, Confucianism and Juche have little or nothing to do with the North Korean regime. Instead an ideology of Korean racial purity is promoted and perpetuated amongst the population. (an idea that is also present amongst Conservative South Koreans it is said)

The book was released early 2010 so it is quite new.

The author of the book is a Korean expert who himself lives in South Korea.

Here is an excerpt

I think Im going to order it.
