Look at this. You call me a 'political terrorist' and tell me to 'be careful or I'll be lynched'. Lynched!


You're metaphorically a political terrorist. That's better. And yeah. I want to give you a positive advice about not getting lynched next year. Always be careful.

News Flash: Blue House's Head of Public Relations and a former Joongang Ilbo (one of Chojoongdong) reporter Kim Du-u resigned today on his bribery charges. 3 years ago his predecessor was an ultra-conservative Christian who said "anybody who oppose 2MB is a Satan's little helper". Confused

Some Koreans have really got to tone down their rhetoric... hint... hint... it doesn't look good. I hope you understand this considering it's your second language.

Rational people don't go threatening others just for holding opposing views.

He's not Korean, he's Canadian. At least so he says.

I'll make no concessions due to language for someone who claims to be Canadian. He is obviously quite fluent in English, yet choosing to be ... over the top in his choice of statements.


And, like many other Leftists, he has a short memory. Golden boy Noh himself tried (and succeeded) in wooing the Joongahn over to the Blue House for a time. It's nothing strange to have a former member of the media working there.

YOU made an accusation... why not back it up?


I already backed it up. Read the Hankyoreh. There are this year's articles that discuss what happened back in 2008. The answers are all there. You're too lazy to read them.

Why do you keep defending 2MB, a criminal who got a rare constitutional pardon from the anti-democratic military dictator, Park Chung Hee?

LMB wanted the Korean public school teachers to teach their subjects in English. Even Roh wasn't willing to go that far.


And 2MB was partly responsible for destroying GEPIK and stealing most of the fundings of public schools during the illegal bill incident last December. And you still defend this nutjob ex-Hyundai white-collar criminal? You're out of your league.



Proof? Links? Anything to back up this claim?



Still waiting for how 2MB was able to steal most of the funding for public schools...

It's nothing strange to have a Gyeongsang-do-born ex-reporter of Joongang Ilbo working there. But now he called it a quit because a member of 2MB's personal church lobbied bunch of people in in Busan and the Blue House with moolah.

While my Korean is at best, intermediate (and I'm being generous) I'm unable to see proof positive that 2MB stole most of this funding.


Slashing or cutting budgets BTW does not qualify...governments do that all the time to balance the books.

I can see why you refuse to provide English sources...then everyone else who can't read Korean would be calling you out as well.

It's okay to have an opinion. However you start insulting and threatening people for holding views that aren't similar to yours, using words like 'lynch'. And you also call people who support politicians you don't like criminals and terrorists.

You do realize democracies allow for various opinions? Best thing to do is post independent sources to support your argument instead of calling them criminals. Which means material that doesn't come from the opposition party.

Aye. Seems a whole lot different than STEALING.

Anyone else get the feeling that NohopeSeriously has never actually been challenged to defend his assertions?

Not me. Very Happy

You want to spin other people's views. I try to tell you the truth. Too bad this truth doesn't have any independent source.

Time for the truth, KapitanKorei.

Oh Se Hun, 2MB's lapdog lost the referendum in Seoul. There has been a surge of anti-2MB sentiments around Korea. The Russian government wants to literally quarantine Lee's oversea influence according to recent RussiaToday news vis-a-vis North Korea. The People's Participation Party is reorganizing. Korean small businesspeople in general are now saying that Lee's chaebol-oriented policies are killing their livelihoods.

And you still say that 2MB is a positive force in South Korea? I'm sorry to say. You are a madman. A real madman.

You call it threatening. I call it opinionated. Just a difference of perspective.

Then what's the difference between me and CaptainCorea ridiculing other politically-left/center members in the past?

What's the difference between me and you ridiculously ridiculing me 2 month's ago when you said "just ignore him(me)"?

What do I care? You're just a real-life Gargamel to me.

Your posts are soooo interesting.

Honestly.

You write stuff, but when I actually look at it, not much is being said. You make these sort of mini-assertions... but they don't really have much meaning or substance.

-Oh lost the referendum. Ok. He 'lost' because of voter apathy. The other side didn't get more votes. He was a fool to expect people to get off their butts and get passionate for him.

-Tha 'surge'. Really? A surge? IMO, the height of it was during the MCD protests. And even then, it was largely led by the usual suspects. Where is this massive wellspring of protest and ire against him?

-You're seriously going to quote North Korean news now?? Next thing ou know, you'll be spewing that tripe about KJI golfing a perfect game.


No links. Little facts. Assertions that dissipate when challenged.

Yup, seems typical of your posts. The only thing missing is name calling... oh, wait - you called me a 'madman'

lol

There's a difference when you start talking about violence being visited on the person.
