LMAO. It has actually become a source of great entertainment to me in the past few days when I have time to check my mail between classes.

However, I'm fighting a one man battle against insurmountable odds on youtube.com

*edit* I did not make the video below...and I highly disagree with just about everything he's saying. I was posting comments on the video when I was swarmed by K-Netizens.

Watch the following video:

And feel free to leave your opinion. Below the video you will notice a cluster *beep* of arguments coming from the Koreans against yours truly. To be fair, I've also resorted to irrationality. Feel free to join the fray if you have time to waste.

Uncle Sam needs you.

I find it hard to take seriously someone wearing a teapot cosy on their head.

Did you do the subbing too?

I find it really distortive that you say the "U.S" has used "democracy" as something to expand power (which is true, but it hugely varies based on the administration).

That is to say, did the Carter administration use "U.S. power" in democracy promotion in the same way that the Reagan administration (in the Iran Contra affair, e.g., versus Carter's getting a peace accord between Israel and Egypt) did?

I mean, dumb slacker ramblings aren't really all that helpful, or remotely convincing.

We need to focus on what policies we need vis a vis Korea when Obama is elected president. Or at least, if you support McCain, what you would do if you supported him.

Cut the crap. In my mind we need to apporoach Korea with a put up or shut up agreement: do you want free and fair trade or not? If not, we're gonna tax those samsung products.

As for North Korea, we *will* talk to kim jung il, any time, any place. But if he wants to survive he's gonna have to deal on nukes.

Hey guys! I think there was a slight miscommunication. I didn't make the video. I posted the link because I HATE this video and I'm having a free for all war of words with the Korean netizens who DO support it.

My name is "citystories" in the argument threads.... lol

I really can't follow what that guy in the video is saying. His delivery is pretty poor. Just blah-blah-blah.....

Don't waste your time trying to discuss these matters with Koreans. They have been brainwashed from an early age with warped pro-Korean rhetoric.
I tried to explain last night to my girlfriends sister that America is not the enemy. I was trying to explain that the result of WW2 resulted in the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea. She refused to accept this and when i asked her whether the allied forces had won the war she refused to answer yes or no. She said it was a grey area.

My opinion is similar to that of a poster above. Korea either wants to play with the big boys or it doesn't. If Korea wants access to the US market then the US should have access to the Korean market. The beef problem aside, Korea has been leeching of America long enough.
Regarding the removal of US troops from SK, this could be a disaster waiting to happen. If you look at the main points of the 'Korean Federation Unification Plan' by North Korea it can give you some insight into what the North wants to happen and why the South needs the US army.
