Apr 9, 2010 - your messed up okay, I love Korea, alot, but just because Japan did things non admirable doesnt give anyone the right to talk bad about themthere needs to be forgiveness if we are going to survive as a race, everyone is guilty of prejudice, and greed in some form, does it matter to what degree, and you cant punish japanese people for the crime of one or two leaders who are long dead and who made the decision for the people, no japanese civilian decided to take over Korea

Apr 24, 2010 - Ask yourself which is a better choice: Having a foe or having a friend? Hatred is both taught and learned, and it's up to the individual to decide whether to continue or end this cycle of hate. Remind yourself that there is plenty of misrepresentation online. Some assume a false identity with the intention of spreading ill-will, so don't believe everything you read online. Let's learn to respect. Give it all you've got, Korea, Japan! Aja aja aja!

Dec 17, 2011 - Japan wiped out Russia and did not annex Korea. Because Hirobumi Ito opposed annexation.Ito declared himself as resident general meaning he was a Korean resident. He also dressed in Korean clothes. But Korean fools assasinated him and then Korea was annexed and the position was changed to Governor general. Koreans praising Ahn Jun Gun is like African Americans praising the assasin of Lincoln. What folly!
1mrnewman Says:
Dec 17, 2011 - Russia had already occupied Manchuria and was about to take over Korea. Hirobumi Ito tried everything to stop Russian expansion but the Russian Tsar had nothing but contempt for Asians even reffereing to them in official documents as monkeys.Kaiser of Germany also shared these racial sentiments coinig the term 'yellow peril'. Hirobumi scored a diplomatic coup and separted Russia from European nations by bringing in Britian to their side.

May 28, 2012 - So what songs by those bands exist? Never have been able to track down what you referenced. Seems like Scrabbel were the only ones to set his poem to music. And to reference him.
