Accusations? You have watched child porn and you've defending your child porn viewing actions as being acceptable. Though I don't believe that you will be attempting to carry such material across any borders and declaring you have it despite your claims that it's acceptable.

You've also cited that Japanese citizens are all horrible monsters, both present and past, because rape fantasy videos with adults can be legally viewed in that country. Yet at the same time when these videos are also available in Korea at a much higher market percetnage, you employ a double standard of "well, it's ok for Koreans to watch rape videos as they are nice people".

All while refusing to demonstrate any evidence that a person who watches a video must be genetically or socially alligned with their forefathers and must have done the actions they are now viewing.

You are amusingly contradictory. Then when you get called on this, you panic and toss out some grade-school insult that you honestly think is stinging.

There doesn't seem to be any shortage of evidence supporting the view that the Japanese envoy Miura conspired to kill Queen Min:
http://www.gkn-la.net/history_resources/queen_min.htm


Taken from your source.

In early morning of October 8, 1895*, sword yielding assassins acting under direct orders from Miura Goro entered the Royal Palace grounds ("Kyungbok Palace"). Upon entering the Queen's Quarters ("Okholu, Kongchung Palace"), the assassins "killed three [women] suspected of being Queen Min. When they confirmed that one of them was Queen Min, they violated her dead body, burned the corpse in the pine forest in front of the Okhulu, and then dispersed the ashes." (Byong-Kuk Kim, Assassination of Empress Myongsong (Opinion), Korea Times, Dec. 28, 2001). Queen Min was 44.

Queen Min's killers were given a safe-conduct from Inchon to Japan under the protection of the Japanese government. The assassination of Queen Min ignited diplomatic protest abroad. To appease growing international criticism, the Japanese government "recalled Miura and placed him under a show trial at the Hiroshima District Court and the military personnel involved were tried at the military court. All were given the verdict of not guilty on the ground of a lack of clear-cut evidence." Id.

After the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, Miura was honored and awarded a seat at the "Sumistsuyen" (the Privy Council), the advisory board to the Emperor.

*Some sources list the date as August 20, 1895.


Oh I see. It's the "we know everything about the murder of Queen Min, including tiny details like where her ashes were scattered, but we are unsure of the date. Hell, it happened in a time frame of 3 months. But please believe our story."

This photograph is believed to depict Queen Myongsong ("Queen Min"). No other known confirmed photo has survived.

Throw in the "we are not completely sure that this photo is Queen Min" plus "science doesn't matter" and one has to regard your source as very weak.

Korea is po'd about Japan distorting some facts in their textbooks.


I'm not a Korea-hater
And I'm not a Japan-lover

But I can't agree much with Korea in this one, especially since they distort facts all the time about the foreign community here in Korea- calling us drunks and drug addicts. They even went as far as to say that 5% of the expat community is good. So, the other 95% are demons sent by the devil....get real!

What about the attack on foreigners by Koreans because they resemble Americans.

What about the unsolved death of Mathew Seller?

Do these events get reported in the news- no!

Korea always wants to be portrayed as the victim in any event and always deny it when there is some dirt (or blood) on its hand.

I know Japan did some devastating things during the war, but so did the Germans (I lost 20% of my Russo-Polish descendants to those jackbooted thugs) and some political parties tried to say the holocaust never happened (please say that to one of my father's neighbors who has a serial number tatooed on his arm).

Do I hate the Germans? only when watching "Saving Private Ryan"

but seriously, I think that Korea needs to clean up its own act before going on a hate-mongering rampage...

So how would you feel if Germany all of a sudden started to say it tried to help Jews by rounding them up in concentration camps, or that its WWII role is a misunderstanding?

I personally know of a Korean man who saw BOTH of his parents killed by Jap soldiers. Try telling him the Japs didn't do anything.

On Germans, I personally find Germans a cold people, and seeing their personalities (or lack therof), it's not hard to see how they could just coldly exterminate people without any feeling whatsoever.
