nope.. the count for schoolgirls vs tank is 2. however, korean drivers have no problem handily beating american tanks at killing pedestrians. in fact, no other country can even come close to the number of pedestrian fatalities than korea.

Maybe they’re all run over by US military vehicles….

Yonhap reports that German companies are also thinking about setting up in Kaesong, which could then bill itself as The World’s Sweatshop.

greetings!
enjoy the site. hmmm so only 1.2 million died of starvation?! well that makes me feel better.

i came across something equally disturbing as it is mysterious. perhaps you or your readers could explain this one.

if you go to this site http://www.nationmaster.com/gr.....nj_dea_ind …it’s a great site by the way!… you`l notice that south korea ranks first (amongst what appears to be only industrialized nations) in child related injury deaths. south korea has 25.6 deaths for every 10,000 children between the ages of 1-14. the second worst is mexico with 19.8. in canada it`s 9. it`s a very disturbing set of numbers that poses many questions about the lives of children in this country.

child injury deaths are defined as - the annual number of deaths from injuries (unintentional and intentional) among 1 to 14 year old children per 10,000 children of those age.

i have a couple pet theories but i`d be curious to see what others may have to add.
later.
