The old days it was everyone agreeing- "Korea doesn't need a dictator".[/quote]

yes, but they still have the dictator mindset. The language for one thing keeps them locked into the Confucian/subservient thing. I always say each language has a soul, and the Korean one is quite stifling, IMO. I think itll take a big change and alot more Konglish to open it up to new concepts, and like we said, get the people fat and laid, and they wont care at all about whitey banging on their back steps. Sorry to sound a bit blunt but.....

I still hold theyre not that changed, still rather insular...

I don't think they're really insular in general. That's just cover. They're predominantly militant, because they can get away with it.
