I'm not sure if it was on a bus or the subway, but I saw a 'Dokdo belongs to Korea' sticker on a window.

Shame they can't split it. Halfsies.

Mind you, Canada and Russia are fighting over the arctic right now, so I shouldn't really be the one to talk.

THAT. . . DOESN'T ACTUALLY MAKE ANY SENSE.

ARE YOU IMPLYING I AM OLD? I COULD SEE THAT BEING FUNNY BUT I AM ACTUALLY NOT AT ALL OLD. OR ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I AM SOME SORT OF GENETIC LINK BETWEEN MAN AND APE WHICH WOULD WORK SINCE I HAVE ENOUGH BODY HAIR TO SURVIVE NUCLEAR WINTER BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

I HOPE.

That sticker is on a lot of buses in Daegu.

In all fairness on the issue- many antique maps, even those drawn up by Japan and China, do place Dokdo under Korean sovereignty.
What is so special about the rocks?

I mean, I can understand the fuss about the Falklands and the Spratly Islands, but Dokdo?
Are there huge nutural gas or oil deposits that makes the area valuable?

Also, could the next war between Korea and Japan be between Dokdo?

I could understand the dispute regarding Kashmir, but Dokdo?
