This type of talk is deeply disturbing in this day and age, and does not bode well for things to come. Eugenics was rubbished years ago. There is something more than vaguely fascist about this kind of racial purity talk. |
Ofcourse it is, but then KJI's regime and fascism have A LOT in common. |

Two Koreas' Top Brass Resort to Racist Mudslinging
The second day of talks between North and South Korean generals on Wednesday got off on the wrong foot when delegates stooped to mudslinging over the racial purity of Korea.
... the South Korean delegation said such dilution of the bloodline was "but a drop of ink in the Han River," adding this would cause no problems "if we all live together." But this failed to mollify the North Korean. "Since time immemorial, our nation has been a land of abundant beauty. Not even one drop of ink must be allowed to fall into the Han River," Kim thundered.
"Our history shows that we were able to maintain the purity of the Korean race even while living together with the Jurchen and the Manchurians of the region," Han countered.

Speaking of fascism,
jinju says:
"I say BRING IT ON. The North would be flattened in a matter of days. I say bring it on. Time to finish off a pariah state."

Friendly Dictators site.
Let's equate North Korea with fascism every opportunity we can get, never mind NK was created as a reaction to fascism, to fight it ..... a little propaganda and tweaking of the facts never hurt our political agenda.
Fascism, Nazism and the US (below):

Zionism Is Nobody's Friend
By Judy Andreas
5-6-06
" .... Author Jack Bernstein stated:
"I am well aware of the tactics YOU, my Zionist brethren, use to quiet anyone who attempts to expose any of your subversive acts. If the person is gentile, you cry "you're anti-Semitic," which is nothing more than a smokescreen to hide your actions. But if a Jew is the person doing the exposing, you resort to other tactics:
First, you ignore the charges, hoping the information will not be given widespread distribution. If the information starts reaching too many people, you ridicule the information and the person giving the information. If that doesn't work, your next step is character assassination. If the author or speaker hasn't been involved in sufficient scandal, you are adept at fabricating a scandal against the person or persons. If none of these are effective, you are known to resort to physical attacks. But NEVER do you try to prove the information wrong. "

I stand by that comment. Finish them off.
Isnt it time for you to leave Korea? I think I gave the stat in the other thread that about 70% of Koreans want the US forces to stay and see them as having a positive impact on stability on the peninsula. Ofcourse you wont ever acknowledge thos statistics because, well, that would make all your crap about Koreans being leftists and against the US just plain wrong. You asked us to leave if we are against North Korea because according to you, most Koreans are left of center and anti-US. But those stats, as well as the inevitable GNP domination on may 31st and in the next national assembly elections show that its infact a different story. Leftist fascists and commies put up a ruckus but are in the minority. EVEN ON CAMPUSES terrorist pro DPRK groups do not enjoy support of much of the student body. The fact of the matter is, even with Pyeongyang threatening a "Deluge of Fire" if the GNP wins (yes, they actually did threaten this) conservative winds are blowing. within 3 years we will have a GNP mayor in Seoul, GNP governor of Kyeonggi, GNP dominated local governments, GNP rulling party and the daughter of a national hero and current GNP leader in the blue house. Hows that for a "leftist" country, patchy? Isnt it time to leave? DPRK is only 30 miles away. |

I say let Nk stay up there as long as possible.
They'd trash and concrete over the pristine DMZ in weeks if unification ever happened.
Besides....reforming NK would just be way too much of a burden on the South. Let reunification happen very very gradually, if at all. |

| Don't be so quick to jump down the throat of the South Korean General vis a vis his reply. If you check the comments section of the Marmot's hole there is a dispute over the translation. |

[quote="rapier"]This is what hapens when you isolate a group of people on a virtual island, cut them off from the rest of the planet for hundreds of years and more. Its a bit like darwin's evolutionary theory gone wrong.
They develop their own unique comforting/defensive belief systems that have no basis in reality. And behavioral ways that don't relate to the outside world. Ever heard of the Galapagos? Ever heard of Iceland? They seem to be doing quite nicely with a small population base that first arrived there a thousand years ago. Fortunately there was a mix in place: Norwegians, Danes, Irish. Now they have one of the world's highest standards of living, and the world's highest broadband usage (sorry, Korea, you're number two). And if you've ever met an Icelander, you might find that they speak better English than you do. |
