This is a typical South Korean thing. We don't like our own government that much. We always criticize them.

However, the current president Lee Myeong-bak is doing a very huge disservice to the South Korean society that we will actually thinking of impeaching him with utmost grassroot pressure.

Sorry to say but the current president, Lee Myeong-bak is perhaps the worst president South Korea ever has as of today compare to other democratically elected presidents.

That is so much better then what you posted in those posts. In that language it shows you care about your political process.

I said the same thing like this two months ago and a lot of people misunderstood me with some sense of fear.

It is perhaps because not everybody's familiar what is going on in South Korea and they have some unintended prejudice about particular stuffs on North or South Korea.

I Said Knock It Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I didn't say this:

with anger.

I just feel hopeless of my existance here. Oh, whatever.

I'm not angry. Just empty and bitter because of the single piece of misconception two months ago has brought this huge series of argument today.

I just believe everyone has to be careful with what they write down. To add, I would say my problem is the government and the like Iran my problem is with the government. I would like nothing more for North to follow in Iran footsteps right now and try to reform there government. It's an nasty situation for both the people and world to be in to deal with, more so for the Asian countries.

And also read carefully, of course.

Ironically, these two bantering back and forth present an example of why the various groups involved can't get along.

Personally, I can't see it from the North or South Korean perspective because I'm an American. Conversely, they can't see it from my perspective because they aren't American. Just as everyone has thier personal take on any given situation, so too, do nations.

I do admit that the USA does tend to meddle in other nations. Sometimes it is a help and sometimes not. However, one should consider this. Haveing power to change things in a positive manner and chooseing not to use that power is just as bad as doing something harmful. America means well more often than not, it just tends to blunder into things because we tend to be bull headed.

Should America use more care in considering the perspectives and cultures of other nations? Certainly, I also don't have any illusion than when the perverbial ---- hits the fan, it's the USA everyone will be turning to for help. We end up being the bad guys if we do something, or we end up the bad guys becuase we didn't. It's just how the world works.


As to wether North and South could get together..that's up to them.

I've been to South Korea and I've also been near the border of North Korea.
From what i hear, North Korea is INCREDIBLY hard to get out of once you get in, and it's not particularly open and in many ways, in comparison to south korea, it's supposed to be pretty backwards.

[I hear you don't want to go out after 6 in NK, you could easily get shot]

I think you are right, although I belive we can go to Korea, although you are restricted what you must say and look at.

A South Korean tourist not long back was shot dead inside North Korea after straying away from the walking path. I believe she was quite old and got a little disorientated.

Not a good country to take your skateboard!
