I asked myself would i ever be angry to see a vietnamese show his anti-Korean toughts and burn a Korean flag? Hell no! Though 4,500 Koreans died fighting for their freedom? and 15,000 injured during their war(sounds familiar?), Koreans-soldiers and businessmen-did a lot of bad things to them killing their own people, raping and abusing them. I believe he has all his rights to protest including burning Korean flags. I am a patriot myself. But I would never put my patriotism under the nose of someone who might have suffered from it. |

According to a newspaper yesterday the guy that burned the flag last week was released and fined for "disturbing the peace" or something. The police had to let him go after it came out that since S. Korea doesn't recognize NK as a country, he did not burn any country's flag.
If I remember correctly he tried to burn a flag in front of the Blue House to protest the prez's apology for the first burning and was stopped before he could light the second flag. Fined for jaywalking. He says he plans to head to the games to burn some more flags. Guy seems to believe in what he is doing and seems to be willing to pay the small fines. --Tembo |

This is really quite hilarious, and so Korean. I think they're slowly growing out of the idea that if you haven't been introduced you're not human. Small steps. |
