Police said the search operation is focused on the seaside areas, as it can be ruled out that he might fall into the sea after losing his footing.

I hope the thread title rings true. Koreans don't belong on Takeshima anyway.

The United States used it as a bombing range after World War 2. It might be the best solution. Either make it into an international park that both countries can share or bomb it into oblivion.

"Dokdo, which lies just 90 kilometers east of South Korea's Ulleung Island in the East Sea, has frequently been the focus of international media coverage, due to Japan's territorial claim to the rocky outcrops. The closest Japanese territory of Oki Island in Shimane Prefecture is more than 160 kilometers away from Dokdo."

as if somehow, because it is closer to korea, it is korean.

by that logic alaska would be russian.

the falkland islands would be argentinian.

no oversee colonies leftover from imperialism would exist.

It was just on the news.
He slipped and fell off a cliff and died.
He was the father of 2 young kids. Tragic.

I'm lost here. Where does this take place? Dokdo, I'm not familiar with it. Do they mean Takeshima? If so, why do they say "the nation's easternmost islets" when referring to Korea. I Also didn't know that Korea had islands in the East China sea, nor that they would be the easternmost islands Korea had. Man, geography classes in Korea must be REALLY hard

Koreans, as sure footed as mountain goats. If that's the case, why do i see adjummas and ajjoshis sawy all the time when they walk...

TO the OP: Where does it say that a Japanese commando pushed him off? With all the"advanced systems and equipment" I don't see how they'd get on there. That is unless the Japanese are using ninjas again. I really hope ninjas are involved somehow.

Eating a beaver makes you good?
You Canadians are so full of shit at times. You people are the only nationality that continually talks your country up on here. I reckon there should be a forum for canadians to discuss Canadian stuff so we aren't subjected to it.
