I dont see many koreans willing to call the sea of japan the sea of korea. dont try and pin it on the japanese. Calling the sea of japan the east sea is not a compremise. kushibo, are koreans willing to call it sea of korea?

Calling the sea of japan the east sea is not a compremise.

Why not the 'Sea of Korea' for cripes sake? At least there's some sense in that. There is a stronger historical basis for "Sea of Korea" than "East Sea" (considering the greater number of maps that say "Sea of Korea" in some capacity compared to "East Sea"). But trying to get Japan to go along with "Sea of Korea" would have been about as impossible getting Korean nationalists to go along with "Sea of Japan." On the other hand, "East Sea" (as in east of the Asian continent) is supposed to be a more palatable compromise. The whole idea of insisting on ‘East Sea’ is little short of idiocy.

I bet you could sell 50 million copies." Doubtful the entire population of our nation would buy such a book (48,422,644 as of July 2005). We are not known to be avid book readers. In fact numerous books have been written about the East Sea. I have included a small list below. All are about the Sea East of the Americas, which we have now decided to rename the East Sea in deference to ourselves: The Atlantic: A History of an Ocean by Leonard Outhwaite Photographic Guide to the Marine Mammals of the North Atlantic, Carl Christian Kinze, Sponges of the North East Atlantic, RWM van Soest, B Picton and C Morrow Facing the Ocean - The Atlantic and its Peoples, Barry Cunliffe The Ecology of Atlantic Shorelines Mark D Bertness “Anyone want to write a book about the East Sea?

The reservoir of gas hydrates hasn't been fully explored partly because of the islets dispute and partly from the economics of drilling. Ironically, if Japan and Korea explored the area together it would hugely bring down expenses. Sure this came later than the patriotic hysteria over the rocks, but it's still a potential resource." Yes, Michael, that's pretty much what I said but the greatest reserve in Dokdo is a different kind of gas altogether - anti-Japanese ferver. There are over 2000 islands in our nation, any of which could have even greater natural reserves but none of which provide the precious resource of an escape valve for the infamous Korean mass hysteria. zMichael: “Mizar5, just saw your comment.

That'll give me a ground to kill you." Katz, why don't you grow up and learn what it means to relate to others without that shrill childish inferiority complex?
