Oh yes, you're right, polls are always the real indicator of public sentiment, never mind that they're cleverly conducted and created by people whose aim is to influence public opinion for their own gain.
But your statement exposes the fact that you know little about the people with the money and influence in ROK, and how they'd be called out for everything from extortion, torture and murder on a massive scale if there was unification.
More telling is your referal to unification as "Korea is one, blah blah blah"-
it's the type of statement made by someone who's never been confided in or had many conversations of substance with a Korean, they probably size you up and realize there's no point. To deal with the central dilemna of the peninsula, one which has taken and affected so many lives with such a callow, irreverant attitude really says it all.
Well, at least you've still got your goony avatar, it'll still score score points with the geeksters. |
You've quoted no sources and obviously YOU are the one with little or no knowledge of reunification. The "Korea is one" quote was not mine just wishful thinking by South Koreans who just blurt stuff out like that without truly realizing the astronomical cost of reunification.
You've scored NO points with your pathetic attempt at a rebuttal. |
