Dokdo is Ours! It's the East Sea!
The big frontline causes of Korean nationalism in the 2000s. Where were these silly sideshow issues hiding all throughout the '80s & (most of) the '90s? |

Even foreign cities aren't safe from being some kind of Mecca for Korea. |

It really saddens me when I think of all the money that has been spent on this silly campaign to 'raise' awareness in the USA about the Dokdo issue.
Americans will never care about Dokdo no matter how many dollars are thrown at the media to buy space.
Why not use the money to fund something worthwhile? |

Hmmmm, wonder if they had taken that money and offered a settlement to Japan, or at least someone who could help them in Japan.....?
Wonder if the issue would have been settled by now? |

Those sideshows were in the forms of beatdowns administered by Chun Doo Hwan and Park Chung Hee. They didn't have time to complain about Dokdo and East Sea. |

I want to call the Altantic the East Ocean and the Pacific the West Ocean because Canada is in the middle, then claim Alaska as stolen lands.
If I took out an add in a Korean paper do you think they might figure it out the joke?
And
Whatever happened to the Dokdo Riders?
I miss those guys, they went to really different places.....like LA, and brought the issue of Dokdo and the East Sea to.....Koreans.

They'd be better off putting it on beer bottle lids or on bubblegum wrappers. Ninnies.
I'd like to run a campaign along the lines of "Do you know Koreans have bad sportsmanship?" and show WC 2002 and 1988 Seoul Olympics boxing in Times Square. |

Are you serious? Come on..... This is not like we're talking about a major war where Korea is being occupied by Japan, and Korea needs to be rescued. America doesn't really care that much about a tiny rock called Dokdo. People can't even tell the difference between North Korea and South Korea in many cases, let alone know what this dispute is all about between South Korea (Namhan) and Japan (Ilbun).
This is funny.... |

Korea rearing its inferiority complex with Japan again.
I have always known it as the Sea of Japan and acknowledge it as such.
It is known Internationally as the "Sea of Japan" but of course, that is not good enough for Uri Nara because it has "Japan" in the title.
Suprised there hasn't been a stronger campaign for changing the country's name back to Corea again just to get ahead of Japan in the alphabet race. |
