OK, now let me see if I've got this straight.

The Japanese came out with a new textbook. The textbook says something about Dokdo the Koreans don't like. The Koreans recall their ambassador and burn Japanese flags.

What exactly do they hope to accomplish by this? Convince the Japanese of the errors of their geography?

First they had Korean school children drawing pictures of the Japanese flag as toilet paper. Now adults are burning the Japanese flag? What's next? All I can say is I am glad the South Koreans do not have a nuclear bomb.

But wait, I wonder what the Korean school textbooks say about Japan? And about America? I wonder if it is 100 percent accurate, unbiased historical truth?

Self-immolation.

It's funny, though, because Korean textbooks are just as bad, and when the gov't says they want to change them, teachers and others are ready to protest THAT, too. Nothing makes the fekkers happy.

I wonder if Japan does these things on purpose just to get a reaction out of Korea. Very Happy

Please tell me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Japanese have disputes over some of its Northern islands with the Russians? Yet, the Japanese weren't burning Russian flags in their streets.

I think the Japanese stepped up to the plate and took one for Team Sanity. "You think beef is crazy, watch, we'll put two lines about 2 rocks in a textbook and the whole country will go ape shyte!"

Why does the government want to change Korean textbooks?

To not make them so anti-American or anti-foreigner (no more Africans with bones throughtthe nose, either). You know, come into the global 21st century and embrace their international neighbours.

Teachers want to continue indoctrinating their hate for Japan and the US.
